A sneak peek on whose behalf I'm going to spitting some media venom for the next week or so. Earlier today with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the State of Palestine, H.E. Varsen Aghabekian Shaihin. #Palestine #Gaza #genocide

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CRAFTSMEN: I got this knife at the National Arts & Crafts Fair in Manila. Made by a native knifesmith from Mindanao, materials are molave wood scrap and an old leaf spring from a truck. Excellent weight and balance, and so sharp it could split atoms. Cost: 650 pesos, or about $11.

New t-shirt designs on the horizon, some of these will be one-offs (as in, just for me, mainly because of copyright), but what do you think?
