After watching a funny reel where a first gen Fil-Am asked his mom how to say "I'm proud of you" in Tagalog and she just refused to answer, we all laughed but then were like, "Wait...how DO you say it?"

Scratching my head all this time. The 2023 Memorial Day Edition.

For the rest of the month, May is the tipping point of the seasons to change. It’s the last month to feel the end of spring, and a prelude to the month of June and the Summer season. May is also a tipping point to the month for graduations, and retirements, and also recognize our Asian American Pacific Islander friends for their heritage month. And non-folks, don’t get an attitude because it’s…

Meet the Artist: @joshualunacreations

Hi, I’m Joshua and I’m a professional comic book writer and artist. I co-created three series at Image comics: Ultra, Girls, and The Sword. After I went solo with my Image series Whispers, I started making online comic strips exploring my Filipino/Asian American identity and experiences. What began as a side project and organic outlet to process my thoughts and feelings turned into a seven-year journey that continues to this day. The more I write and draw, the more I realize I have to say—especially with the sharp increase in anti-Asian violence against AAPI and the institutional censorship that prevents us from addressing it adequately. I was told by my publisher that I wasn’t talking about AAPI issues in the “right way” because I tackle difficult, complex, and painful truths about Asian America. Despite these barriers, I’m determined to collect these strips into a book and publish them as Americanizasian. In the meantime, you can follow and share my work online and support me by pledging to my Patreon or donating to my PayPal. Happy APAHM!

Pleased to meet you, Joshua! He has shared some of his comics below for you all.

Check out more of Joshua’s artworks over at his Tumblr, @joshualunacreations!

happy APIDA Heritage Month aka Asian Pacific Islander Desi American Heritage Month to my asian selfshippers, my asian american selfshippers, my pacific peoples who selfship, my desi selfshippers, my native hawaiian selfshippers and everyone else who falls under this umbrella! lots of love and joy to you all this month, your f/os would be happy to learn about your culture and can’t wait to spend lots of time with you!

let’s remember to uplift people of color when it matters most and just because the name APIDA groups them together does not mean they all share the same cultures or experiences, it makes the community not only open for everyone but safe as well to remember this and to support these groups in not only this month but every month. 💗

There may be additional info or queens missing, as it's only information I specifically have been able to verify. This list also doesn't encompass the full breadth of many queens' identities; many of them are of mixed race and ethnicity, or of several nationalities. That post provides further information. - I usually don't include actors who haven't debuted. That means that Kimberley Hodgson and Deirdre Khoo (both of the recently-announced Australian Tour) and Fia Houston-Hamilton (cancelled Breakaway 2.0) are not included.
