✅ My first pop up shop selling my personal art!! Mahalo nui to the amazing folks at Pōʻai & to all those who supported my art!! I’m still taken aback that so many people liked my art enough to want to own it.

Sometimes I feel so frustrated about things outside my control that I just cry. Lately it’s just that I’m poor and I fall into the “maybe if I just stopped eating lunch or buying snacks once in a while, I wouldn’t be so broke.”

being around other Pasifika truly is just such a good feeling 99% of the time. the 1% are because sometimes there’s pilau ass people since being Pasifika doesn’t automatically make you a good person lmao.

In honor of the new Katamari game being announced I present to u... Hawai'i themed cousins... I'm so excited for Once Upon a Katamari 😔 #art #katamari #katamaridamacy

Three characters designed to look like the cousins from Katamari Damacy on an orange background, surrounded by cream colored flowers and dots. One cousin is blue and orange and has a poke bowl for a head. One is purple and pink, has a very long neck, and is wearing lots of leis. One is pinkish red and black, with a head shaped like a spam musubi.

When you’re thousands of miles from your homeland, the internet becomes your canoe—a vessel for memory, connection, and survival. For Pasifika in diaspora, digital space isn’t optional. It’s infrastructure. 🧭 Full speech: bit.ly/thepiisntsil... #ThePIIsntSilent

A square graphic with a bright orange background and colorful tropical leaf illustrations in each corner—featuring bold shades of red, blue, brown, orange, and yellow. The center of the image contains a quote in bold black text:

“When you grow up thousands of miles from your homeland, the internet becomes your canoe—
a vessel for memory, connection, and survival.”

Below the quote, in orange-red script font, is the attribution:

At the bottom center, in smaller black text, it reads:

The design visually evokes warmth, cultural pride, and digital resilience. The tone is both poetic and powerful, underscoring the theme of diaspora survival through connection and technology.

If you’re still using Duolingo, this is what you’re supporting. “Duolingo’s founder and CEO Luis von Ahn believes there’s nothing a computer can’t teach—but says schools won’t go extinct because people need childcare.”
