Trans people, nonbinary people, and queer people have existed for hundreds of thousands of years. Long before agriculture, money, or white people came along.

If capitalism is so great, why doesn’t it exist in ANYONE’S version of heaven?

What a joy-filled day at the Director’s Guild celebrating 25 years of the Asian American Committee! So grateful for the DGA’s commitment to diversity, equity & inclusion—it’s what makes moments like this possible. And yes… I wore that shirt. You can grab one in my shop if you feel like repping too!

This has been a rough few weeks for Filipinos. RIP to an icon of Filipino cinema, Ricky Davao. I’m deeply grateful to have met him. He was a brilliant actor and director, and someone who took the time share heartfelt stories with me about working with my late uncle, Lino Brocka.

I guess it’s only blasphemy if a drag queen does it.

Celebrate AAPI Month in Style! This Pinoy Storyteller shirt is for my fellow Filipino creatives—whether you’re behind the camera or lighting up the screen. Inspired by my wild ride filming Love & Lockdown in the Philippines, literally lying on the floor of a Jeepney to stay out of frame.

The best part of making your own T-shirts is wearing them! I created this in honor of the drag artists who’ve been instrumental in shaping who I am. I dabbled in drag in my teens but was not good & it was so expensive. My name was Fellatia. She became a character on Rick & Steve. brocka.dashery.com

I love funky T-shirts! Whenever I travel, it’s the one thing I hunt for. Not the airport or gas station shirts— something offbeat, unique, made by a local designer. A piece of a place to remember, to spark a conversation, to make someone smile.

2012. The first time I met Jiggly Caliente, I was such a fanboy. She brought so much joy into this world. Rest in peace, Bianca. 🩷🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇭

I got a sneak peak of new music videos from both @ryancassata and @tomgoss tonight at their premiere party. They also performed for us! Tom’s “Bear Soup” is so much fun. Ryan really knocked it out of the park with his catchy song “I Feel Like Throwing Up.”

I’m thinking back to this incredible screening of Lino Brocka’s Bona at the Academy Museum a few months ago. Watching Nora Aunor’s nuanced performance on a huge screen was exhilarating. It was easy to see how millions could look into her eyes and instantly see themselves. Rest in Peace Nora Aunor.

Notice how your retirement accounts didn’t quite bounce back though? This is by design.

Millions of people from all walks of life dropped what they were doing to take to the streets and protest. We’re just regular people trying to save our country. Join us. ❤️

It was inspiring to see so many Americans taking to the streets today. We need to keep this up! We could stop it all today if we just decided to.

Just came across this selfie from the set of Rick & Steve. Our set and puppet builders were so damned talented. This is the organ player in San Francisco’s Castro Theatre, voiced by hilarious Bruce Vilanch in the episode “Swallowing Pride.”

RIP Val Kilmer. I can’t believe it’s already been 13 years since I saw his one-man show Citizen Twain. His role in Real Genius was my favorite — one of the queerest non-queer movies of the ‘80s, as a nerdy kid it was magical to see nerds portrayed as cool.

I’ve been protesting in the streets my whole life and I’m not going to stop now. Most people cheered us on but when people flipped us off we responded with peace signs. #Teslatakedown
