A Spanish film company is gonna release this big pile of YIKES next year and well.... YIKES.

This El-Dorado rip-off is supposed to be a retelling of Spain's conquest of the Philippines... but seems to portray the colonizers as the good guys while the one king who saw right through their crap and fought back would be the bad guy.

Here's the thing. When the Spaniards came, most of the tribes welcomed them. But there was one who was suspicious. Lapu Lapu, the king of Mactan island. He distrusted the colonizers. Saw them as conqerors using the Filipinos' hospitality as their ticket in. He fought back and killed Magellan and stalled their reach to Mindanao.

Lapu Lapu was right. Once they were in, the Spaniards brought 300 years of subjugation and exploitation to the island. Yeah, sure. Filipinos had a lot of in-fighting (like every other society) before they came. But what the Spaniards did was shit on a large scale. Our culture virtually destroyed because Christianity. Priests raped a lot of women. Men were treated like second class citizens. Women were treated like slaves. Women enjoyed more freedom during the precolonial era.

I'm not one to judge a movie before it comes out. But this is worrying. Even if they stay true to history, they could credit Lapu-Lapu's heroism to the Flyn Rider knock-off in typical White Savior™️ fashion. I seriously hope I'm wrong and they do deliver and present the colonizers as the two-faced opportunists they were. But even then, I can already see some problems. Like:

After ruling us for 300 years, you'd think they'd remember what we actually look like. DEFINITELY NOT LIKE THIS!!!

Moana's right there!!! They could've copied characters off of that instead of characters from El Dorado for fuck's sake!!!! And why the hell is the king of Cebu, which is just off the coast of Mactan, PALE!!! Glutathione didn't exist back then!!!! WTF?!

My country's real suspicious about this movie. They plan to check it thoroughly before releasing it in local theaters. If necessary, ban it. I'm not gonna judge people if they choose to watch.

But please. Whatever this movie's spin is going to be, it is important to know the truth about this part of our history before going in to see it. Lapu Lapu is a hero. The Spaniards are conquerors who brought 300 years of suffering when the Filipinos let them in.

This is why I don’t tell 99% people im bisexual

Big Warning

If you see a police car or a cop with a speaker looking thing on it, FUCKING RUN. It’s known as an LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device), a device that, when activated, can permanently damage your hearing and cause serious harm. If you’re too close, you’ll be left in a lot of pain and squirming on the ground permanently deaf. Ear plugs do not work. Unless you have one of those shooting range headphones, you do not stand a chance against them. Again, if you see them pull up, RUN. This is what they look like.

Stay safe.

On June 7th, 2019, Emerald Black a pregnant, black woman, and her fiance were pulled over by police officers after coming from a doctors appointment.

The officers spoke to Ms. Black’s fiance while she stayed in the car.

The officers began to order her out of the car. Ms. Black was clearly pregnant and she had let them know  that she had just gotten back from a doctors appointment where she was also  informed that she was at a high risk for a miscarriage. Despite this, the officers yanked Ms. Black, still in her hospital clothes, and threw her to the ground. They taunted her, piled on top of her, and stomped on her stomach causing her to miscarry. The stomp had  also left a shoe mark.
