Marooned on Earth: My life stranded with monkeys

Thank you all so so much, you wonderful, mad bunch! I woke up this morning to find that the project had met its funding goal, and despite inching closer over the last few weeks, I think there was still a part of me that didn't believe that this would actually happen.

hi, filipino here. just want to say that our independence day is june 12, not july 4. july 4 is when the united states government decided that they would recognize our freedom, specifically because it is your independence day and they wanted to cement their cultural hegemony over our country. and because of their influence on our country this was recognized for a time as our independence day. we still commemorate it, but i hope you can understand why we don’t want our independence day to be associated so closely with our former colonizer. it wasn’t even a work holiday for us.

Philippine Independence Day, locally known as Araw ng Kalayaan, marks the declaration of independence from Spanish colonial rule on June 12, 1898, by General Emilio Aguinaldo in Kawit, Cavite, where the Philippine flag was unfurled and the national anthem, Marcha Nacional Filipina, was played for the first time. This followed the Philippine Revolution, which began in 1896 under the leadership of Andres Bonifacio and the Katipunan, a revolutionary society that sought to end over three centuries of Spanish rule.

That happens to everyone. Real people from that generation would simply take the opportunity to leverage, "The Stranger."

Me. Right now. Totes.
