I hate how elitist and Eurocentric dark academia can be. i love the old university buildings, rich dark attire, and Latin phrases that come with it, but i can’t stand the elements of superiority and exclusivity. as a college student i feel like the draw at the heart of academia is a love of knowledge and passion for sharing it with as many people as possible. so as a poc in university, here’s my take on dark academia:

Filipinx students poring over library books of Baybayin and other pre-colonial alphabets and dialects of Tagalog

students hungrily downloading pdfs of textbooks, biographies, the newest research papers on nuclear fusion and archaeological discoveries

hands the same rich shade of brown as the ancestors who could only dream of being surrounded by hundreds of books searching through dusty tomes for stories of their heritage

thrifting old, oversized blazers to thrown on over a sweater you’ve had since high school before running to your next lecture

printing copies of notes and lectures to send to the family members who gave up their dreams of seeing the stars so that you could study them

“Transgender chefs are better!”

Chef Silver Iocovozzi is the trans owner and chef behind Neng Jr’s, the first restaurant in Asheville, North Carolina, presenting Filipino food.

Says Silver to them:

Honestly, I think that transgender chefs are better chefs than cisgender chefs, just period.

Silver believes that building an intentionally queer restaurant is an art that requires much more than pasting Pride flags in the window, Bon Appétit reports.

Silver wants to ensure that a trans person who enters the restaurant will know that this is space for them This means hiring primarily staff from the queer community and people of color.

Wren Sanders writes:

As exciting as it is to serve a steady flow of queer diners, Filipinos, and the intersections of the two, Iocovozzi maintains that a lot of their work involves protecting their staff from the abusive environments so typical of the culinary world while defending their cuisine from the reductive expectations of ignorant guests.

“A lot of it boils down to white supremacy and the assumptions white people have about this restaurant, [which is that it will be] cheap and will serve the same exact Filipino food they’ve had at their one friend’s house,” they tell me.

If you happen to be in Asheville, you can look forward to an interesting and exciting menu. Says Silver to them:

Our signature dish is an adobo oyster. It combines a cured quail egg yolk and lato, which is literally like seaweed grapes. When you bite into them, they burst with briny salt water.

Then there’s an adobo mignonette made from coconut cane vinegar, soy sauce with Baileys, black peppercorn, garlic, onion, and brunoise shallot. This dish will probably be on the menu until the end of time because it has one of my favorite flavors — that really spiky, sharp adobo sauce, combined with seafood and lato — and because it [reflects my growth as a chef.]

Silver got married to Cherish Anthony Iocovozzi this June, a wedding that made it to the pages of Vogue.

What it means to be "Americano"

White privilege like I can trace my mother's grandfather's line down to Captain James Cook but don't speak a lick of Tagalog

White privilege like I speak English fluently, with minimal accent

White privilege that meant jack shit to my schoolyard bullies

Your eyes look Chinese! Whatever Julio Mongolio, you're just a know-it-all

Brown skin I hid from the sun because I was ashamed

Morena like I spoke spanish as an adult and un nina muy pequena pero no permiso hablar con nadie porque

"You're in America now, Speak English! None of that beaner talk!"

Morena like aprender una lengua primero but being buried alive under spelling bees and failed attempts at fitting in

Julie of the Wolves! Why do you blurt everything out? You're so annoying!

Cubana as in, I haven't held my Abuelita in my arms ever in my whole twenty-seven years

veinte-siete años y no veo mi familia en la isla porque no estas permisos

My father, tells me half truths as un abogado y mi mama, spills lies from her mouth like water from a fountain

Mestiza as in I don't speak Tagalog outside of Mahal kita Lolo

and it gets blended with mi español porque my mouth is this

plane hopping, floatation device riding, Ellis Island

full of trauma, words I never learned

supposedly to protect me from hate crimes,

and cultures I never got to claim

Oh but don't worry.

Being American comes with all this baggage and more.

Why did my ancestors leave the islands? I may never know,

but it hurts worse to know that if they all had a ghost party,

I could never speak to them in our collective mother tongues.

Isles of Bathala: The Aghoy

The Aghoy are small human-like creatures that tend to live in the branches of trees. They tend to have fair skin and vary in the amount of eyes that they have, usually some number between one (1) and three (3). They are considered a cousin to the elves. While they wear clothing made from the surrounding plantlife, they absolutely hate having their feet covered.

When travelers take or damage the trees they call home, the Aghoy will curse them, causing rashes to appear all around the body. In order to remove the curse, you must bring a present to the Aghoy and ask for forgiveness.

Despite this, the Aghoy are always looking for kind and honest people to make friends with. All Aghoy have been blessed with power from the Divinity Anagolay, the goddess of lost things. When they see someone they want to be friends with, they can sense if they have lost something important. Then, they are able to transport the item into their hand to give as a gift to their potential friend.

They also like to play small pranks, such as moving things around when you aren't looking or changing what position you are sleeping in.

The Real Life Inspiration

Much of the description is lifted directly from what I have read of the Aghoy, which is how the East Visayans refer to these small elves. They are described as short, pale-skinned, yellow hair, and bare foot. Most of what I read describes their kindness and search for friends by finding the items that their friends have lost.

The lost item is considered a test in some of the writings. If the recipient of the present acknowledges it was an important item they lost and thank the Aghoy, the person has passed the test of honesty and are rewarded. One item that has come up multiple times that the Aghoy have is magic purse of seemingly infinite gold.

They are also pranksters. They like to live near villages and change the sleeping positions of the people in those villages.

As for when they feel their home is being trespassed, they throw dust into the eyes of the encroachers. This also results in the trespassers developing rashes and twisted lips. This may be remedied by a healer going to the tree of the Aghoy with a gift of rice, asking for forgiveness.

Today, we’re revisiting this topic to examine how some notable Filipinos are breaking…
