Another story about the woman. Last night her son was so worried looking for her because she hadn't got back home. Right after she got back home, her son asked where she'd been, and she said, "Ora ko endi endi." meaning "Nowhere." She wasn't nowhere, she was busy fighting the pigs under the rain.

PLEASE READ THIS
There has been a riot happening in Indonesia, a riot of never-before-heard scale.
It is happening because of the unfair raise gotten by the people who works for the government, but, there are also a few anomalies (i dont know what word is best to express what im trying to say as english isnt my first language) spreading misinformation against chinese-indonesian people (im gonna call them chindo for short). Saying that they are the root of this whole problem, and this act as a fuel to a flame that is this riot. This is not the first time something like this happened, in 1998 a riot also broke out that impacted a lot of chindos (my grandma, grandpa, mother, aunts, uncles, and other relatives were a victim of this) as they were antagonized. A lot of stores were robbed, we can't defend ourself. PLEASE DONT LET THAT BE REPEATED. SPREAD AWARENESS
Im gonna show you some picture as more proof of this cruelty.

[Translated from top to bottom]
[7:15 AM, 8/29/2025] Hello everyone, theres been a news spreading on twitter. There are now police acting as normal people to target chindo, kids, and elderly people as a distraction (from the riot) like in '98 tragedy where civilians are attacking other civilians
[7:15 AM, 8/29/2025] There's already a lot of child victims getting tear gas thrown by those police itself, not incoicidentally
Guys, I am near pademangan. They are attacking chindos.

[Translated from top to bottom]
Andre Insomnia1989: GO INTO THESE CHINDOS STORE, ROB THEM IN THE MORNING
Harr!: YOU CAN ROB STORES BUT ONLY THE CHINDOS ONE
zax pluto: ROB THEM SO THAT ITS NOT THE POOR THAT SUFFERS!!!!!!
Again, I am telling EVERYONE that is reading this to SPREAD AWARENESS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. This racially charged hate crimes are not uncommon and will continue if left untouched.

I’ve been trying to keep irl and online separate as best I could and have discussed and shared news about this in other personal platforms, but as of now I’m afraid things have gone down horribly wrong here in Indonesia where I live. I’m also scared of the possible media censorships in this country in an effort by the govt to sweep things under the rug. hoping this will reach more friends out there because like many others I refuse to let the gov't keep this in the dark.
I won’t spam too much but just to give an indication of what’s going on in the doomed country I live in:
a motor taxi driver was ran over and killed by the police in a demonstration last night. his name is Affan Kurniawan, and he was only 21. he was not a participant but a mere innocent bystander who was brutally driven over. cctvs in the streets are shut down as per today, leaving many in the dark of the situations in the streets, aside from social media postings -- of which there are concerns of gov't censorship as well. I’m so worried for those who are joining the protests today onwards as well as the implications this will bring in the future.
details from another indo blogger
read more here
details of what the initial demonstration is about
(TL;DR -- the government stated that members of the parliament will receive a large sum of roughly around $6000/month from the country. this demonstration was a display of resistance to that. yet this is how the gov't and the police chose to respond -- with violence, whilst members of the parliament are enjoying their sanctioned 'work from home' day)
democracy in this country is not alright

Hello everyone, today will do another update on Indonesia, but it wont be like my other uodates bcause I am tired, angry, and scared with all the news around us that just keeps worsening.
[29/8/2025]
A while ago, the government dropped a news that the people of the parliament will receive a large sum of money support from the country, around 100 million rupiahs or roughly around 6000$, PER MONTH. While the people here are struggling to eat, teachers and lecturers, especially those teaching in rural parts of Indonesia ARE NOT PAID. Even if they are, they're barely reaching the minimum wage. All while the people of the parliament get paid a large sum of money for doing nothing and corrupting the country. These people are dancing and singing in the parliament house while people literally outside their places live crammed, barely making 180$ a month. And for Jakarta? That barely covers necessities.
A few days yesterday, angry citizens started moving. At first they swarmed and broke into the parliament house. Then a massive protest was held in front of the parliament house (mostly by college students). The people are mad. The police started spraying tear gas and high pressure water towards the crowd (classic move). Eventually, ojol drivers started joining the protest (think: uber, uber eats drivers that use cars and motorcycles). One person got killed by getting ran over by the police. ONE PERSON GOT KILLED BY GETTING RAN OVER BY THE POLICE, A 21 YEAR OLD OJOL DRIVER, PROBABLY A BREADWINNER IN HIS FAMILY. And a lot more victims of brutality and violence and missing people. It doesnt stop there as well, Karet station are getting shot with tear gas, where non protesters are trying to get on with life.
Please spread this, read this, our news canal are silent, there are no news canal in our country broadcasting this. I've seen an Australian news canal broadcasting these news but not ours. I'm scared for the lives of the people, I'm scared for my own, and I genuinely don't know what to do to help the people in ways that won't put my parents' life in possible danger. And as I always say, please educate yourself more about this matter. There are a lot of overwhelming news around, I can't gather them all alone in one post. Thankyou.

My name is Moataz, a journalist from Gaza.
My story!
Imarried Huda on June 22nd. I was very happy with her. I photograph humanitarian issues for the world. The war started and we were exposed to a deadly attack that we miraculously survived.



We became homeless, without food or drink. My wife was crying. I set up my tent for the first time after displacement on November 1st. We sought refuge with all the relief organizations, but no one helped me. We are now awaiting the birth of our first child after a long wait. Huda is pregnant... I tried to search for safety by any means, for me, my wife Huda, and our eagerly awaiting son, Malek! 😭


We were surprised by the new displacement and the terrifying sight of the bombing. We lost everything we owned for the second time, we took refuge in Rafah, I tried in every way to provide healthy food for my wife and our expectant child, but we were surprised for the third time by a major attack that made us leave without any food or shelter, Huda is eight months pregnant and we were displaced for the fifth time, this time is the worst, Huda and I stayed for five days sleeping on the burning sand of the sea. We did not taste food for five days, 💔


...
Vetted by "gazavetters 527"
we were forced to sell sweets to save and pay the price of the tent. The date of birth of our first child, Malek, came, while we were preparing our tent to receive him, the place next door was bombed. Huda saw the remains, she lost consciousness, Dr. Ghassan requested an emergency delivery, Malek, our first child, died, I cried bitterly, and she entered a state of blood poisoning. All I want from you is to help me to save my family and Huda and restore my hope in life, from now on you, my family, I want to reach my goal, any donation. Help me save my family, if you can't please I just want to cry💔🥹🙏

You Can Help Hammad Save His Family🍉‼️🫶🏻
VETTED BY ASSOCIATION; Hammad was referred to me through Safaa and her campaign (vetted by 90-ghost)
This campaign is created on behalf of a very valuable and dear friend of mine, Hammad A., who is dealing with devastating tragedy and loss that none of us in the empirical core could possibly begin to imagine.
Hammad is one of the most thoughtful, considerate, and hard-working people I know -- and while he has tried his best to provide for his family under these immensely difficult circumstances, he now needs our help to keep him and his family alive.

Picture this: Your life has been turned upside down instantly; everything you have worked your whole life for -- gone in an instant. Everything you once knew turned to rubble and destruction. Your home, where you grew up and created childhood memories with -- gone. Your job, where you dedicated your energy and effort into building a career you loved -- gone. The most basic necessities we take for granted -- warmth, fresh air, the ability to move around freely and safely -- ripped away from you.
These are only a few of the difficulties that Hammad and his family have been facing for over 464 days.
As you understand by now, there is only so much resilience the human body can endure, and the urgent need to do anything you can to save your family is the exact reason Hammad has allowed us the opportunity to help him and his family be freed from the immense suffering and stress they currently face.
His tent was recently flooded, damaging the little items that he had after losing everything, and destroying the little shelter he and his family had to protect them against the harsh elements.


Hammad needs your help NOW.
Even the smallest amount is so highly valuable in lifting a margin of stress from the weight of this tragedy off the shoulders of Hammad and his family. Your contributions to these lifesaving funds are invaluable.
Chuffed has a waiting period for processing and transferring funds. If you want your donation to IMMEDIATELY be sent to Hammad, paypal is linked below.

astronomy club sent up a weather balloon w a gopro in it last friday. put in three packs of fruit snacks so they could have a giggle over eating fruit snacks that had been to space.
balloon went up into inner space, about 90,000 feet. came down right near the dinosaur park. a few physics teachers drive out to get it, crack it open on the way home to start watching the footage.
fruit snacks are missing.
multiple sources confirm that fruit snacks were put in balloon and sealed in with duct tape. physics teachers check entire balloon. no fruit snacks.
physics teachers watch footage. all 7 hours of it. right in the middle of footage, there are about 8 minutes of visual and audio static when balloon is in orbit. no other interference with balloon recorded.
conclusions: ???????

the secret to organising any kind of trip with your friends is to become the benevolent dictator. do NOT wait for everyone to provide a consensus on things before you book anything. do it and then ask for feedback after. do not ask people what they would like to do just tell them what is happening and let them all nod along like the sheep they are. this is the ONLY way to coordinate a group of adults in their 20s/30s

Truly crying because Safaa, one of the Palestinians I help fundraise for, crocheted this doll of Zetian from my book Iron Widow. Safaa used to have a crochet business that supported her family, but they lost nearly everything and now have to take shelter in rubble. She crochets these dolls with what scarce supplies she has left in hopes of bringing the children around her some happiness. It's my wish that she'll be free and able to send this Zetian doll to me one day, so please chip in to her campaign so she can afford food and other critical resources. Her parents both have diabetes and haven't had proper treatment in nearly two years, not to mention her father lost an eye. Any little bit helps! Please share her campaign widely!
