This memoir paints a nostalgic portrait of the life and times of the young Choppy as he stumbled upon Porky, together creating the legendary comic tandem in the Philippines called Porkchop Duo. For thirty years, the Porkchop Duo entertained generations of Filipinos with their iconic brand of stand-up comedy, travelling to 34 countries as “Showbiz Ambassadors of Good Will” and bringing laughter and fun to countless homesick Overseas Filipino Workers across the world. Told with unyielding candor and wit, Choppy recounts his days: from being a poor Tondo boy in between jobs to make a living, a youth leader keeping a dual personality to ironically conceal his shenanigans, to a young family man winning over his personal battles—inspirations that were to become materials for their much-celebrated repertoire of rib-tickling jokes. Choppy gives us a glimpse of the landscape of the Philippine stand-up comedy, how they found their way in, and broke new grounds. He reveals how they peddled an epic idea that would make them pioneers of comedy albums in the Philippines, eventually making stand-up comedy a household name for entertainment. Then he tells a moving story of grief, when his father, and shortly his partner, Porky, died, and tells how he unremittingly continues the legacy of the Porkchop Duo despite the odds. This unprecedented Autobiographical Joke Book packed with almost 100 jokes will surely take you back to the Porkchop Duo’s world-renowned performances.

An updated version of Knowles' classic discussion of adult education

A treatise of Black women’s transformative influence in media and society, placing them front and center in a new chapter of mainstream resistance and political engagement In Reclaiming Our Space, social worker, activist, and cultural commentator Feminista Jones explores how Black women are changing culture, society, and the landscape of feminism by building digital communities and using social media as powerful platforms. As Jones reveals, some of the best-loved devices of our shared social media language are a result of Black women’s innovations, from well-known movement-building hashtags (#BlackLivesMatter, #SayHerName, and #BlackGirlMagic) to the now ubiquitous use of threaded tweets as a marketing and storytelling tool. For some, these online dialogues provide an introduction to the work of Black feminist icons like Angela Davis, Barbara Smith, bell hooks, and the women of the Combahee River Collective. For others, this discourse provides a platform for continuing their feminist activism and scholarship in a new, interactive way. Complex conversations around race, class, and gender that have been happening behind the closed doors of academia for decades are now becoming part of the wider cultural vernacular—one pithy tweet at a time. With these important online conversations, not only are Black women influencing popular culture and creating sociopolitical movements; they are also galvanizing a new generation to learn and engage in Black feminist thought and theory, and inspiring change in communities around them. Hard-hitting, intelligent, incisive, yet bursting with humor and pop-culture savvy, Reclaiming Our Space is a survey of Black feminism’s past, present, and future, and it explains why intersectional movement building will save us all.

This was already the fifth one tonight! His limbs were stiff and his pupils were dilated. His brain had been hit so hard that his cerebrospinal fluid had started to leak out. The red and white area looked like a tofu brain in tomato sauce. The lady in the white doctor's robe held the report. The pen in her hand was quickly scribbling a report of her death, seemingly unconcerned about it. Liu Mei slightly frowned. She could see that the woman's mood wasn't that beautiful. There are so many dead people these days.
