This doc about brave civilians vs. illegal logging in Palawan, Philippines is a doc that kicks you in the pants, makes you "root for the characters," and keeps you up at night. If in Honolulu, don't miss the additional screening of DelikadoFilm Hawaiʻi International Film Festival #HIFF, TBA

Please watch my first documentary production ever, thanks to ESTMedia and support from Pulitzer Center, about Filipino-Korean families in the farming village of Ttangkkeut, "End of the Earth." And do tell me what you think.

Just. Watch.

Happy Thanksgiving and Native American Heritage Day. Please feast on this piece about successful, holistic Indigenous reforestation and agroforestry initiatives by the Talaandig tribe in Bukidnon province of Mindanao. Mindanao produces 40% of the food supply of the Philippines.

Knowing what this is makes me old? For real??

Christine McVie passed away and now this piece by Tony Hồ Trần about how a black hole is pointing straight at Earth...can we all just take a step away to comprehend? bit.ly/3VEr1Jr

2 of 3 women in S. Africa contract HIV by age 23. New solutions are on the horizon. Tremendously written, gut-punching, educational, and exciting piece of great consequence by shane burke, whom I am proud to claim as my j-school classmate and fellow Pulitzer Center alum. PLEASE READ.

Phil White & his Northeast Kingdom Games #swim series in VT have launched Project Welcome, inviting us to put money where our mouths are when saying that #swimming and #openwaterswimming are too white (and i.m.h.o., Western), period. Glad to give. #BIPOC gofund.me/e1b36c40

If you're looking for a different holiday recipe: shared by chef Im Hyun-sook in Gwangju, Korea, a survivor of the 1980 democratic struggle against dictator Chun Doo-hwan. She remembers hiding in her house in 5th grade with blankets piled against the door as bullets flew outside.

Refreshing piece on surfing in Korea, and, now that you're reading, the bizarre, motley, military-laden atmosphere set in motion by forgotten history that frequently teases to repeat itself with America's help. Written from a Korean(-American)'s perspective; thank you, @etammykim

Thank YOU, Chloe Flower!

Wondering how long it'll take The Washington Post and #rhodafeng to realize that "jingjabang" is a non word and does not mean #KoreanBathHouse. The word is #jjimjilbang #찜질방. Disappointing error let through in a review highlighting a #KAD #KoreanAdoptee shorturl.at/szHL1
