Kaget liat UMR di KL cuma RM1,500?? How to make a living here with this salary? It’s not even Rp5mio, not really different with the minimum wage in Jkt with slightly higher living cost

Indons are childish af. Rupiah anjlok, MBG carut marut, kunker LN presiden ga punya urgensi, tapi malah persekusi queer community. Malaysia jg sering ditimpa queer scapegoating, tp warganya mulai pinter untuk malah kritik otoritas kurang kerjaan. Grow tf up

yesss, ini penting bgt

di pride month ini, teman-teman queer dan ally bisa baca tulisan gue dan Dr. Abby Gina Boang Manalu di Jurnal Perempuan tentang queer temporality dan pengalaman waktu di luar struktur yg cis-heteronormatif 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Pacaran, ada ekspektasi nikah. Habis nikah, ada ekspektasi punya anak. Habis itu, ada ekspektasi “sukses” sebagai keluarga. All this dan tetep ada kemungkinan cerai jg. Ketika pasangan queer menjauhkan diri dr eksp. heteronormativitas, hubungan jd lebih ada esensinya menurut gue

Gue dan partner sempet ngomongin ini. Akhirnya kita sepakat: ga perlu dibawa ke mana2. Terus bertumbuh dan hadir di kondisi apapun harusnya yg jadi tujuan

Lagipula kalau ikut “what’s next?” gaada habisnya, ga sih?

Sebagai part of LGBTQ+ kadang aing bingung tiap menjalin hubungan romantis tu tujuan akhirnya untuk apa dan mau dibawa ke mana?

Apalagi aing sadar bahwa di Indonesia ini nilai heteronormative-nya masih sangat kuat, bahkan mayoritas masyarakat juga masih homophobic –

Prabowo Subianto is centralising power, marginalising opposition and spending beyond Indonesia’s means. He could undo 20 years of economic and political progress https://t.co/XiM5hgMhyi

“when i launched my book club, it wasn’t in a cozy café. it was in a reading group at downview women’s prison. i’ll never forget what one of the women shared with me: ‘perhaps if i’d read more books when i was younger, i wouldn’t be here now’.”

Was in a Berlin museum and found this Egyptian map drawn by a German geographer in 1859. Guess what’s also in the map? Palestine. And we don’t even need to decolonise the knowledge as this is coming from a Western scholar. It’s always has been (and will always be) Palestine
