So how does one exactly go about swallowing a wad of American dollars worth 300 USD? Can she puke it out, rinse it a bit, and have it be perfectly legal tender? Are US bills indestructible and stomach acid-proof?
Man, #Manila airport mysteries.

@youronlyone Hang on I think my friend SOLD the car. Either way it's nuts. Next thing you know it'll be condo pasalo.
@job @youronlyone haaays EVERYTHING on Facebook messenger kainis, sana may official university policy against it
@youronlyone My friend bought A CAR from FB marketplace
@youronlyone Facebook free basics doesn't help either, ugh. Literally the country where people send their resumes through Facebook!!
I don't really post on Twitter but I check it out for breaking news in the Philippines, live music news, etc. Most places here in the PH don't update their website (including the govt!) They update an FB page and a Twitter page and sometimes Twitter is the lesser evil.
And Mastodon isn't free of drama either. Instead of Elon Musk being the perpetual main character, it's a rotating cast of mods and their opaque HOA policies. It's a big turn off for people considering the platform.
2/🧵
I'm under Anything but Xitter. I mostly post here and sometimes cross post to Bluesky, but it's a little rough going since I only have 30 followers there and very little engagement. The drama is also more unhinged than Twitter since the active users are Twitter's most terminally online (see: ACAB Dril drama) 🙄
Unlike some Fedi purists, I don't think Mastodon is the one and only platform. I like the people I've met here but it still can't replace a lot of what I used Twitter for 1/🧵
@youronlyone That's a lot!! Do you automate cross posts? Lmao keeping track of Mastodon and Discord is already enough for me.

@westerling what is it about?
@westerling RIP Octavia Butler. One of our greats.
Less than 2 weeks to go and I'll be watching #Dreamcatcher live in #Manila
👁️ Odd Eye 👁️ was the song that got me into them. I was already in the cult by the time BEcause rolled around.
imho https://youtu.be/VPmx-DwGnc8?t=192 #Dreamcatcher at #Primavera Festival was at their top form. They did non-stop bangers throughout their different eras, which I love because I am not the biggest fan of #kpop ballads. Timestamped is PIRI which is an older song of theirs but one of my favourites.
How do you resist headbanging and screaming EMERGENCY EMERGENCY
