will crack and spell out the pattern,
in as many languages as she knows,
spoken or performed,
so that we can quit bumping heads onto the same wall over and over,
and escape this maze altogether.
This, she swears.
You know how brilliant their idea to choose Bundaran HI sebagai tempat "aksi" mereka adalah? It’s because they know Bundaran HI adalah pusat titik keramaian Jakarta.
Choosing Bundaran HI means maximum exposure. Akses ke semua lapisan masyarakat itu potensial banget buat attract publik. From the corporate slaves stepping out of their Sudirman offices, people commuting, to the general public—everyone is literally there. It is the ultimate hub to get eyes on your movement.
Plus di Bundaran HI, segala jenis transportasi umum ada. It’s the literal heart of Jakarta's transit. So obviously, the traffic will be disrupted. But honestly? In modern activism, that disruption is a feature, not a bug. When the traffic gets a bit chaotic, people are forced to look. It creates that instant "Wait, what’s happening over there?" effect.
As someone who used to organize actions and protests too, let’s be real for a second: pemilihan Bundaran HI ini bukan lagi buat "protes" langsung ke pihak yang diprotes.
Why? Karena ya udah pasti gak bakal didengar. Pointing fingers directly at the institutions just ends up making you tired, drained, and honestly, males banget. It’s a dead end.
Makanya mereka pilih Bundaran HI. It’s no longer about yelling at a brick wall; it’s about controling the narrative and winning the public's attention. If the authorities won't listen, you make the entire city talk about it instead. And there’s no better stage for that than Bundaran HI.
I love how the Pope's encyclical is so well-written that people sincerely believe it was written by AI, because the notion of being that well-educated and qualified for a leadership role is genuinely foreign to the general public.
Real poets use quasi-mystical totally unfalsifiable beliefs alloyed with deep study of the histories of various poetries & poetic lineages. Free yourselves from trauma mediocrity NOW
They change the algorithm so much across every platforms, it makes the whole experience weird and unappetizing and ironically reduces my screen time lol.
Being afraid of reading "problematic authors" is due to your own insecurity with your beliefs and identity. You think that if you read "bad people", you'll become bad yourself, soaking up their toxins like a dim sponge. This is because you are stupid and can't trust yourself.
