Kalau blok m tetep mau jd "pusat kebudayaan" atau "tempat kalcer" Jakarta Selatan, kita semua harus bangun ruang aman untuk & terutama buat kawan-kawan minoritas gender.
Kalau tidak, ya blok m cuman jadi tempat komersil aja tanpa ada jiwa keseruan dari keragaman kehidupan urban
Had a nice long chat with my coworker the other day while on a corpo retreat and he told me that I don't belong in Indonesia but somewhere out in the West.
Shit's depressing cus that's the umpteenth time someone told me that
@paradise2012 That's one thing, another is that I speak more comfortably in english, and its not easy for me to click with people who were socialized differently (i.e. someone who didn't go to an international school/immersed in an international social environment)
King Memnon of Aethiopia was in the Trojan war and was killed by Achilles in a duel. He arrived at the war with his Aethiopian army to save Troy after Hector was slain
Atheiopia was a descriptive term for all of sub-Saharan Africa at the time
Homer describes the war as a global event with participants hailing from all over the world, specifically saying they spoke multiple languages
Troy itself was an Anatolian trading hub
The Odyssey can be adapted into a space movie and it would still be relevant. Adaptations is how we honor those works and the lessons within them
You are a small small man who views life from a lense that cheapens it
Currently writing again. Posted it on the internet and people said it has "AI all over it"
Even broad competence is mistaken for AI. They've taken away even the joy of creation.
Connecting young people to digital networks serves no purpose if they remain disconnected from themselves, others, and their own interiority. We must help young people rediscover silence, reflection, the ability to ask questions, the depth of relationships, and openness to transcendence. To listen to the soul, we must lend an ear, because the soul's voice is not a shout, but a whisper.
Let it be remembered in history
We have never started a war.
We have never invaded anyone.
We have not killed children.
We have protected our homeland, dearer to us than our lives.

1.The war between Russia and the Ukraine is a silly war.
2.Russia cannot be defeated by Ukraine.
3.Ukraineโs hope is for the NATO nations to join in the war against Russia.
4.But the NATO nations do not want to war with Russia.
5.Their hope is that the war would impoverish Russia, expose its military capacity. Then NATO would be the strongest military force in Europe and the world.
https://t.co/qwURluQ4Fy the meantime thousands will die and a big number wounded. Millions are displaced.
https://t.co/YKuua4aPDy Ukraine wants peace. But Russia demands a big price. Both cannot give way.
8.And the war will go on with no gain for anyone.
9.That is why this is a silly war. No one gains anything.
10.But more people will die, be wounded and displaced.
11.Ukraine has lost its freedom. Russia has to pay a high price.
12.Europe is economically impoverished.
13.Even the U.S. gains nothing as it is unable to open Hormuz.
14.Even America has not succeeded in its war against Iran.
15.Yet peaceful negotiations would yield the same result.
