- Texas schools board rewrites US history with lessons promoting God and guns, dropping references to slave trade and sidelining Thomas Jefferson who backed church-state separation. *headdeskslam*

In other RL news:

- Work is really interesting right now. We're gearing up for Gabii Sa Kabilin, "a Night of Heritage." There are nine different museums opening their doors at night from 6pm to midnight. Each place will have different aspects of Cebuano/Filipino heritage featured, from performances in costume, dances, food, music, films, and artwork. Most places can be accessed through buses or walking, but some areas will have the traditional tartanilla that you can jump on. It's going to be next Friday, and I'm going insane trying to help out with our museum, with the signs and posters and organizing the dancers and whatnot. Pretty much all week I've been going to meetings and press conferences and whatnot. Hopefully, though, it will all turn out okay in the end. It's coming together, slowly but surely. I have to figure out what I'm wearing though. I don't wanna wear the traditional Spanish dresses because they're so itchy and hot, but it's looking more and more like it's gonna happen.

- Also, elections in the Philippines happened on the 10th. It was the country's first automated election, and my first experience in watching the elections unfold in another country. some things I learned about Filipino politics )

And to close: Choose Your Own Adventure. It was bound to happen sooner or later, I suppose. ;)
