Manila, 12 June—The past week has been brutal. In the end, we're all just fighting off our own demons, no? And in some cases, hard as it may seem to accept, the demons win out—may they be against world class artists or long-revered democratic institutions. I take comfort in the fact that many of my friends have been vocal about calling for kindness in this time of cruelty. Indeed, perhaps the most we can do for each other is signal that we're each other's safe spaces.
