No, I have no spoons to know more about the latest disaster and violence that Uta Frith is making.

Note to self: Rest and stay away from that ugly corner of the world!!!

Ketiduran di angkot itu skill yang cuma dimiliki orang Indonesia. Lo bisa tidur di posisi apapun, di tengah kebisingan apapun, dan somehow tetep bangun pas udah deket turun.

Posisi tidur di angkot itu seni tersendiri. Kepala nempel di kaca yang goyang-goyang, badan miring ke orang sebelah yang lo nggak kenal, kaki nahan supaya nggak jatuh ke depan. Somehow lo tetep bisa tidur nyenyak.

If it is music from when I was 13 or 14 years old, definitely not.

If 18 or 19, then, I might listen to artists and groups I liked before, but I primarily focus on those still making music. I enjoy finding new tunes.

Oh y'all fighting the class war but clinging to whiteness with all your might so people of color will forever be a CLASS below you? You just wanna stay an oppressor with some righteous talk.

What is all (anti-)politics but affinity?

My doctor told me that it is no longer necessary for me to take iron supplements. At this point in my anaemia, it’ll do more harm than good.

Therefore, I am no longer required to endure feeling like I have swallowed an entire silverware drawer for a few hours after taking a pill.

Small wins.

Faktanya: Indonesia sekarang jadi basis strategis buat serve seluruh Southeast Asia.

Pabrikan ngeliat Indonesia bukan cuma end market, tapi hub produksi regional. Scale gede = leverage harga tinggi.

Perang hanya untuk kestabilan kekuasaan masing-masing penguasa. Korban tentu warga sipil, akibat serangan AS dan Israel at least 40 students have been killed in Iran. Kenapa dunia ga bisa damai-damai aja ya?

Yeah that's my purity test. People not having Nazi tattoos on their whole life & continuing to support right wing ideology through their ongoing campaign as a progressive because that's how much their white privilege lets them get away with. So take me away to the camps already.

It's March here, so it's time to help me decide the vibe for the next art book cover for the end of April. Previous 4 covers are below.
