Tolkien, folklore, books, movies. East Javanese. She/her. Header by Oniria. Free Palestine and may vengeful pigeons shit on transphobes.

Hello! I just refreshed my pinned tweets. I usually share all things Tolkien, folklore, folktale, and sometimes just RT cute arts or cats. Below are examples of the types of things I like to tweet!

This one is about Tolkien's essay on fairy stories. https://t.co/vhtbp0bNK4

[Putri Prihatini @BlogTolkien]

On 8 March 1939, J. R. R. Tolkien delivered a lecture at the University of St. Andrews, which was published as essay "On Fairy Stories", in which he argued that fairy tales are not just for children, describing what it means to enter this realm.

(18/5) Five Indonesians were abducted by the IDF from aid vessels sailing international water, part of Gaza Sumud Flotilla. Four journalists (Andre Prasetyo from TEMPO, Bambang Noroyono and Thoudy Badai from Republika, Heru Rahendro from iNews) and activist Andi Angga.

Bambang Noroyono were abducted from BoraAlize vessel, Andre Prasetyo, Thoudy Badai, and Heru Rahendro from Özgürlük, and Andi Angga from Josef. I'm following Global Sumud Flotilla tracker; those who have been intercepted made SOS videos as per SOP. https://t.co/dy06ECPyoq

Menjaga jurnalisme tetap independen bukan cuma tugas redaksi, tapi juga publik. Kalau kita ingin pers tetap berpihak pada kebenaran, kamu perlu ikut menopangnya.

Lagi ramai soal homeless media yang banyak diklaim bekerja sama dengan Bakom RI. Ini berita soal media konvensional yang juga sedang ada upaya untuk ditundukan: redaksi rutin ditelepon pejabat, berita minta diturunkan, bisnis media diancam, hingga ada manuver politik untuk menyetir pemberitaan.

Harta karun dari bapak. Terbit tahun 1995, liputan kehidupan sepuluh buruh perempuan asal desa di pabrik tekstil, biskuit, dan plastik ini masih relevan di masa kini, apalagi bicara soal sistem yang membuat mereka harus pergi dari desa untuk kerja di pabrik dengan upah murah.

Two books that I still cannot move on from: Tareq Baconi's memoir on his queer and political awakening as a Palestinian activist and my first foray into contemporary Native American literature with Tommy Orange (Cheyenne and Arapaho). The first one is from @transitreads!

Songs and glitter cannot mask the occupation, relentless bombings, kidnapping of activists, attacks on aid flotilla, and blatant suppression on activism efforts and criticism.

"United in music" rings hollow when the music becomes nothing more than a rotten, hollow beauty.

[Putri Prihatini @BlogTolkien]

Really happy with the recent Indonesian translation of Prof. Wieringa's research about lesbian, bisexual, and trans communities in Indonesia regarding of activism and movements. The book rejects the "queer activism, history, and lived-in reality only belong to the West."

Antologi cerpen yang diterbitkan bersama KontraS, "Berita Kehilangan" mengusung 21 cerita yang terinspirasi dari kasus-kasus penghilangan paksa di Indonesia; dari Aceh, Kalimantan, Bali, hingga Papua. Beberapa cerita menggunakan folklor lokal sebagai bagian dari gaya bercerita.

One artwork featured in Sumud, an anthology of Palestinian essays, poems, and art, is Philistine (1997) by Palestinian artist Khalil Rabah. He put nails around the "philistine" entry in Oxford dictionary, examining the word and its relation to dehumanization of Palestinians.

You can look up the digital version easily and find multiple sources to download. I downloaded the PDF and epub versions from OAPEN Library website.

[Putri Prihatini @BlogTolkien]

A historical + ethnographic research on trans feminine community in 20th-century Indonesia (1950s-1980s); how they navigated the postcolonial era and the new country's efforts to evaluate its citizenship while challenging gender binary.

The digital version is free to download.

A memoir by queer Palestinian scholar and activist Tareq Baconi. The tale of his queer awakening, alternating with his family history that started in the 1948 Nakba, became a foundation of his political awakening in Palestinian cause. "The personal is political." #ReadPalestine

Cheers to Singapore 🇸🇬 on giving @ElishaYered a tiny bit of the recognition he deserves.

Yarde, chief terrorist for Eastern Ramallah, has been involved in countless acts of violence, scum that any nation committed to peace must reprimand.

Their names were Fadi and Jumaa Abu Assi. They were siblings.

I swear I have other books too 😁 This Indonesian poetry book by Hendri Yulius Wijaya and English-language anthology from Anamot Press depict Indonesian queer experiences. One of the poets in the anthology is actually from the same province as me.
