About
Hi! I’m Durian (he/him). I’m involved in mutual aid, environmental, abolitionist, and open source collectives. I’m currently distroing free zines and respirators through Durian Distro; running free online services on Aangat Lahat, Chika, and twentytwo.town; and making tiny apps and games on itch.io.
I’ve done work for Delta Chat (2024), Internet Archive (2024), Tor Project (2023 to 2024), and DuckDuckGo (2013 to 2023).
I grew up in the Philippines, and I’m now living in occupied Lenapehoking territory.
Food
Right now I’ve been doing a lot of foraging and fermenting. I love that I’m getting to know the plants around me and preserving them. Also, it’s free and it’s a simple way to gift the product to people.

Computing
My interest in computing right now is how it intersects with mutual aid, the impending ecological collapse brought by capitalism, and privacy in the age of surveillance capitalism.
