kaze (雲)

I'll be back after my finals. (which, by the way, is almost done!) two days to go and I am officially out of academic burden. wish me luck. :D
          
          yours (miserably), 
          kaze

ps. since i’m already here, I also wanna talk about Sudan’s current situation, which is a great opportunity for me to help people understand how dire their voices are when it comes to shedding light upon their situation. I’ve seen more accounts on Gaza and Israel, breaking ceasefire agreements, but I only see a few people talking about Sudan. here, please take the time to read this information about them. 
          
          in times like these, our help does not only end with Gaza, there are also hundreds of communities in need of attention. El-fasher is under attack. mass killings have been carried out by the RSF. The Sudanese community has been enduring brutal sieges for more than 500 days, and children, thousands of them, are under the full control of a militia born from genocide and decades of unpunished atrocities. This is a systemic violence, intended to terrorize, starve, and kill civilians. please use your voice to stand in solidarity with the people of Sudan. amplify their voices to end this genocide. free the children of Sudan. free the women. free the people.

this is such a short notice, hello! again. uni is kicking my ass, as per usual. and I'm on the short end of the stick. I cannot believe I’ve been on hiatus and let my work evaporate into th void. (I'm really sorry about that)! I have been planning to mass produce chapters to put an end to the first phase/act of the book, but it seems that even I have lost track of the original plan. I’m trying my best on this one, huhu. I’m still grateful for all your silent (and loud) supports! I see them each day. I’m glad to be the one receiving them, even though I have been quiet for many times I could count. college is seriously not a joke, y’all. hopefully the semestral break would give me a lot of time to finish Stars of North. I will see y’all very soon! 
          
          lots of love,
          kaze

ALL EYES ON SUMUD FLOTILLA! 
          
          Our brothers and sisters needs our help. Our help is critical!
          
          The Israeli forces has now taken over Alma, the lead boat on Sumud Flotilla to intercept humanitarian aid, kidnapping at least more than 500 humanitarians and activists on forty (40) foreign different countries. Take note that this is happening on the international waters! Which means a heavy breach of the international law! 
          
          And it breaks my heart to hear this news, knowing that a lot of these civilians only have one goal in mind, and that is to aid Palestians in Gaza, and they are being punished for doing the right thing. 
          
          Please read these several articles on Instagram from different journalists/photographers and be informed on what is happening.

          Our silence is over. Our fight is now. 
          
          This day marks a monumental moment in the history of the Philippines. September 21, 53 years since the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. signed Proclamation No. 1081 in 1972, placing the entire Philippines under Martial Law. 53 years, a period where thousands of widespread human rights violations, media censorship, and the curtailment of civil liberties has marred the country. 
          
          Hello, everyone! As you all know, I’ve been actively speaking about international issues across several foreign countries, including the Palestinian genocide, Ukraine-Russia war, and the US government’s gun violence. Although I have been inactive on this platform for a long time, I also have come to a realization that this is one of my biggest platforms that I hold today, and I must put my foot forward to seek your help and support. 
          
          Kami naman muna. 
          
          Please let me take this time to raise my voice and inform you all on what is happening in my country. I have not explicitly told my birth of origin to avoid doxxing, and malicious encounters from strangers on the internet. But this dire situation where we are now is inevitable and cruel. 
          
          We are angry. Exhausted. Betrayed, beyond words. 
          
          A rally is happening today. Filipinos are marching the streets of Luneta, Ayala Boulevard, Mendiola, and in some parts of Manila. We are speaking up against the corruption of our government. We are demanding accountability from our corrupt leaders, on the billions of money they stole from their own people. Our taxes have gone to waste. Spent on these government official’s lavish lifestyles as we continue to work under a minimum wage job and live under an anti-poor system.
