Peta ini memotret bagaimana banjir terparah di Sumatera Barat bertemu dengan kepungan konsesi ekstraktif dan proyek energi skala besar. Di kabupaten-kabupaten yang paling terdampak banjir—Agam, Padang Pariaman, Padang Panjang, Tanah Datar, Padang, Solok, dan Pesisir Selatan—terlihat jelas sebaran izin tambang, proyek PLTA, PLTU, dan wilayah kerja tambang panas bumi yang menggerus ruang hidup dan daerah tangkapan air.
Melalui peta, kita mestinya paham bahwa bencana bukan semata soal curah hujan ekstrem—sebagaimana narasi pemerintah—tetapi juga akibat akumulasi kebijakan yang membuka hutan, bukit, dan sungai untuk industri ekstraktif.
Dan, ini belum termasuk ekspansi kebun sawit, pelepasan kawasan hutan, dan alih fungsi ruang lain yang ikut memperparah risiko banjir.

Suddenly, you're 27.
You make your coffee, rush to work, come home around 7, and you're too tired to do anything except eat, scroll on your phone, and pass out.
Then you wake up, and do it all again.
And when Friday comes, maybe you go out, or maybe you're just too tired. Then, out of nowhere, it hits you.
How did everything pass by so quickly?
You don't even feel 27.
You still feel like that 17 year old kid who thought they had all the time in the world.
But somehow, 10 years just disappeared. And you start missing the past. The feeling of being young, excited, and clueless.
But then you realize, one day, you'll miss this, too.
Being 25, being confused, being tired, but still trying.
So maybe the trick is to slow down a bit and actually live this chapter before it also becomes just another memory.
The point is no matter what age you are, you’ll miss these days. Life gets busy sometimes and it’s always a good time to stop and smell the roses.
Indonesian election's quick count is showing some really predictable and depressing results. After a lot of scandal and cheating manoeuvre l, it seems like we're going to have a president that looks forward for normalisation with Isr*el
