About
Hi, I'm Jag (he/him)! I'm involved in mutual aid, Palestinian, environmental, abolitionist, and open source movements. I'm currently distroing free zines and masks through Durian Distro, running some free online services on Aangat Lahat, and running a pubnix at twentytwo.town.
I also worked as a Product Designer for the Tor Project (2023 to 2024), and also a Frontend Engineer & Product Designer at DuckDuckGo (2013 to 2023). Check out my Uses This interview where I geek out about the tools that I'm using. I have an even older interview from a lifetime ago at CodePen. I've made some interviews myself around that time too through Friends Talk Frontend! Here's my CV.
I grew up in the Philippines, and I'm now living in occupied Lenapehoking territory. This website is also available on the Tor network.
Notes
This website is more of a wiki than a blog, so things are not necessarily dated on here. I write new entries and update old ones as well. Please, have a look around!
Food
Right now I've been doing a lot of foraging and fermenting. I love that I'm getting to know the plants around me and preserving them. Also, it's free and it's a simple way to gift the product to people.
Mutual aid × Direct Action
I learned about mutual aid when the COVID pandemic started, and I was hooked on the idea. I want to live in a world where we care for and protect each other. Doing mutual aid has introduced me to the idea of direct action as well where we act instead of petitioning to politicians and companies.
Computing
My interest in computing right now is how it intersects with mutual aid, the impending ecological collapse brought by capitalism, and privacy in the age of surveillance capitalism.
Misc
This is where everything else goes. It includes travel logs and tattoos!
