On this episode of Halo Halo Hotline, we take three powerful calls from our community — moving from conversations on sexual consent and curiosity, to the weight of global oppression, and finally toward practical ways of reconnecting with our Filipino roots and ancestry.

We talk about what it means to name where we stand, choose joy as a form of resistance, and build community beyond the algorithm.

💬 Topics we unpack together:
• Clear steps for talking about anal play and consent
• Safety, boundaries, compatibility, and aftercare
• Grief, outrage, and selective disconnection to protect the nervous system
• Indigenous sovereignty and anti-colonial alignment
• Collective action, mutual aid, and value-based solidarity
• Starting in the body to reconnect with Filipino identity and roots
• Elders, storytelling, adornment, and traditional tattooing
• Building community offline — learning and healing without shame
