Jeremy's journal

The alternatives are not placid servitude on the one hand and revolt against servitude on the other. There is a third way, chosen by thousands and millions of people every day. It is the way of quietism, of willed obscurity, of inner emigration.

J.M. Coetzee

🦋 Anong mangyari kung malaman nang tao?

Filipino-American journalist Jose Antonio Vargas writes a piece of memoir for this week's New York Times Magazine which is astonishing in its audacious bravery. Vargas is coming out for the second time in his life, coming out in a role which could hold very real, dreadful repercussions for his life and his livelihood.

What a courageous act and an eye-opening piece. With this he has finally documented himself.

Ano nga kaya ang susunod na mangyayari? Maraming salamat for linking to it, Jeremy. Where is one's motherland anyway?

Hindi ko alam. It is awful to think he could be arrested and deported; and yet it is hard to see how the US government could do anything else without losing all credibility.

Vargas has founded the website Define American, dedicated to "changing the conversation" about immigration in the US.
