something that people online shamed me for
this is my favorite art of semaun and tan malaka so far
book: PKI Sibar Contra Tan Malaka (Sudijono Djojoprajitno)
i keep getting back to this one spirk fic and few years back i did some digging lo and behold the author is ali hazelwood who wrote love hypothesis and is also a neuroscientist
does anyone else have a fic (from any fandom) that has stuck with them for literal years and even all this time later when i’m no longer in that fandom i still regularly think about how beautiful it was and hope that the author is still writing in some capacity
at work i met a kid who had the same birthday with their siblings but just different years. their parents set it up that way and yeah i feel like they don't see those kids as individuals n that's concerning
my mom used to dress all us girls in matching outfits when we were younger cause if she lost one of us in the store we’d be easier to find.(she had 4under3) but once we went to the pediatrician and she told my mom it was abusive and we’d all resent her one day.
The Neil Gaiman example later in this thread is absolutely evergreen because he's such a perfect case study for "terrible people can make very good and very progressive, empathetic pieces of art". The sooner we stop conflating someone's morality with their work the better.
Namanya Yasika Aulia Ramadhani. Usia 20 tahun. Pembina Yayasan Yasika Group.
Di usia yang kebanyakan orang masih mikirin skripsi, dia udah mengelola 41 dapur MBG yang tersebar di Makassar, Parepare, Gowa, dan Bone.
Inspiratif banget. Tapi tunggu dulu.
Aturan BGN: maksimal 10 dapur per yayasan, per provinsi.
Cara Yasika punya 41: daftar lewat beberapa yayasan berbeda-beda. BGN-nya sendiri yang ngaku ke publik:
"Tahunya itu dari cerita orang. Yang kami baca cuma dokumen."
Jadi sistem dilangkahi , dan yang melangkahi bukan sembarang orang.
Ayahnya: Yasir Machmud. Wakil Ketua DPRD Sulawesi Selatan. Partai Gerindra.
Fungsi utama DPRD: mengawasi penggunaan anggaran publik.
Program MBG dibiayai Rp 335 triliun anggaran negara , dari pajak lo, dari pajak gue.
Trus anak Wakil Ketua DPRD mengelola 41 dapur dari program yang seharusnya diawasi oleh ayahnya sendiri.
Saat wartawan tanya ke Ketua Badan Kehormatan DPRD Sulsel soal konflik kepentingan ini:
"Aduh, saya tidak bisa berkomentar soal itu."
Saat wartawan coba konfirmasi ke Yasir dan Yasika: tidak direspons.
Kolom komentar Instagram keduanya langsung ditutup.
Dan BGN bilang tidak bisa menghentikan 41 dapur itu karena:
"Kasihan anak-anak yang sudah terima manfaat."
Bukan tuduhan.
Ini fakta yang sudah dikonfirmasi BGN sendiri, diliput Liputan6, Tempo, Kompas , dan diinvestigasi ICW, yang menemukan 102 yayasan mitra MBG di 38 provinsi terafiliasi politisi, militer, dan polisi.
Gerindra: partai paling banyak afiliasinya dengan 7 yayasan.
Program ini katanya untuk anak-anak kurang gizi.
Pertanyaannya sederhana: siapa yang paling bergizi dari program ini?
“AI is not going anywhere” is a PR line from a gen AI company press release that’s trying to make their bad broken technology seem inevitable. It’s bullshit. Please stop repeating it.
The reality is people are not nice to disabled kids, even slightly awkward kids,ask any parent with an autistic child how teachers, majority of teachers are towards them, how schools treat them..
