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.
Iām also have a newsletter on Ko-fi where I talk about my thoughts on the intersection of privacy, mutual aid, anti-capitalism, and digital infrastructures.

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.
