Those in italics have five or more pieces of usable visual, written, or audio propaganda already. If you have any visuals like photos or videos, or if you have something to say in words, submit it to this blog before round one begins on June 25th!

If you don't see a name you submitted here, it's because most or all of their career was as a child/they were too young for the cutoff, their career was almost entirely after 1979, or music was something they only dabbled in and are hardly known for. There are quite a few ladies on the list whose primary career wasn't "recording artist" or "live musician," but released several albums or were in musical theater, so they've been accepted.

Ramadhan ke-17 : Dampak Prilaku Kita

Relate sama kejadian beberapa waktu yang lalu? Saat anak yang menganiaya seseorang akhirnya punya dampak panjang sekali. Mulai dari keluarganya, ayahnya, reputasi lembaga tempatnya bekerja hingga dugaan kasus korupsi dari ayahnya. Perbuatan si anak ternyata punya efek berkelanjutan ke depan. 

Saya jadi ingat konsep butterflay effect-nya Edward Lorenz. Bliau meteorolog yang nemu konsep bahwa perubahan kecil dalam angka desimal (misalnya 0.506 menjadi 0.506127) bisa menghasilkan perbedaan prediksi cuaca yang sangat besar. Salah satu ceramahnya yang populer adalah “ Does the Flap of a Butterfly’s Wings in Brazil Set Off a Tornado in Texas?”. Sesuatu hal yang terlihat kecil ternyata bisa berakibat pada dampak yang amat besar. 

Ibn Qayyim-ilmuwan islam- punya karya tulis judulnya Ad-Daa’ wa Ad-Dawaa. Membahas secara gamblang bahwa dosa itu punya dampak signifikan dalam kehidupan manusia baik jangka pendek maupun jangka panjang. 

Oleh karenanya hati-hati atas setiap amal perbuatan yang sedang kita jalani saat ini. Kata mas Gun “ Jawaban atas pertanyaan anak-anak kita adalah apa-apa yang sedang kita jalani saat ini”

Kelak, saat anak kita seusia kita mereka akan banyak membutuhkan jawaban dari setiap pertanyaan-pertanyaan. Jawabanya adalah apa yang sedang kita jani saat ini Jadi, hati-hati saat memperlakukan orang lain, hati-hati saat merespon emosi, hati-hati saat bicara, hati-hati saat berinteraksi dengan lawan jenis, hati-hati saat mau bergunjing, hati-hati saat memanfaatkan waktu luang, hati-hati saat jatuh cinta. Jangan sampai ketidakhati-hatian kita dalam berprilaku dan beramal punya butterfly effect terhadap anak-anak kita kelak.

Jadilah orang tua yang baik

17 Ramadan 1446 H | 17 Maret 2025

*Tulisan ini adalah bagian dari project kecil : 29 hari menulis yang sudah berjalan sejak 8 tahun yang lalu. Tulisan-tulisan sederhana ini  akan diterbitkan setiap hari selama Ramadhan 1446 H, bertepatan tahun 2025. Selamat membaca, semoga lingkaran kebaikan ini senantiasa terus bertunas:)

TURISIAN.com - Kota Bengawan Solo,  dengan segala daya tariknya, kian mantap menduduki posisi teratas dalam daftar kota pilihan untuk menikmati hidup saat pesiun (slow living). Lingkungannya yang sehat, aman, biaya hidup yang ramah di kantong, serta infrastruktur yang memadai menjadi beberapa alasan kuat. Tak hanya soal persepsi, fakta ini diperkuat oleh survei yang dilakukan Kompas dan Goodstat, belum lama ini. Kota seluas 46,72 kilometer persegi ini dinobatkan sebagai destinasi utama masyarakat Indonesia untuk menghabiskan masa tua. Bukan tanpa alasan, Solo memang menawarkan ketenangan dan kenyamanan yang sulit ditandingi. Solo yang Ramah Lansia dan Praktik Slow Living Sementara itu, Pengamat Tata Ruang dan Tata Kota Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), Murtanti Jani Rahayu, menegaskan bahwa tata kota Solo mendukung gaya hidup lambat. “Jalanan di Solo relatif teratur, sehingga ramah bagi pengendara maupun pejalan kaki,” katanya. Meski kemacetan kadang terjadi, hal itu dinilai hanya di waktu tertentu. Secara keseluruhan, kondisi lalu lintas masih jauh lebih nyaman dibanding kota besar lainnya. Selain itu, ruang publik yang banyak dan nyaman seperti Manahan dan Balekambang memberikan tempat bagi warga untuk melepas penat. Sedangkan, transportasi publik seperti Batik Solo Trans (BST) dan feeder juga menjadi nilai tambah. Dengan rute yang menjangkau hampir seluruh pelosok kota, transportasi ini dinilai andal dan terjangkau. “Pasar tradisional di Solo juga berperan penting, bukan hanya untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pangan, tetapi juga sebagai ruang interaksi sosial,” tambah Murtanti. BACA JUGA: Grebeg Sudiro di Solo Hadirkan Berbagai Event, Ada Festival Lampion Oase di Tengah Kehidupan Serba Cepat Begitu apa yang disampaikan Sosiolog UNS Solo, Akhmad Ramdhon. Ia melihat tren slow living sebagai respons terhadap kehidupan perkotaan yang serba cepat dan penuh tekanan. “Budaya kota besar yang menuntut segalanya instan sering kali menimbulkan kejenuhan dan rasa dehumanisasi,” ujarnya. Dalam konteks ini, Solo menawarkan alternatif. Meski modern, kota ini tetap mempertahankan kearifan lokal dan tradisi yang kuat. Event budaya, makanan lezat nan murah, dan moda transportasi yang mudah diakses menjadikan Solo sebagai tempat ideal untuk menghabiskan masa tua. “Solo adalah kota yang memungkinkan Anda menikmati hidup dengan ritme yang lebih lambat. Namun tetap relevan dengan kebutuhan modern. Ini adalah kombinasi yang sulit ditemukan di tempat lain,” tutup Akhmad. Maka tak heran, Kota Bengawan Solo menjadi magnet bagi mereka yang ingin menjalani masa tua dengan tenang atau sekadar menemukan harmoni dalam hidup lambat. ***

#challenge30haribercerita

5 Januari 2025

Aku ternyata gak konsisten cerita huhuuu

Btw aku bakal ringkas ya 5 hari kebelakang apa saja yang terjadi dalam hidupku.

Aku lupa hari apa dan tgl berapa, yang jelas Ridwan bawa mantan temen2 kantornya ke rumah, mereka makan2 dan karokean di rumah, ridwan seolah gak mau aku ada d rumah itu, dia terus bertanya aku mau keluar gk hari itu. Aku awalnya emang niat keluar tapi males karena blm gajian d tambah panas banget d luar. Akhirnya aku bilang kalau aku gk keluar, tapi tenang aja aku gk akan keluar kamar kataku.

Selebihnya hari hariku d isi dengan kegabutan, kadang tidur, atau cuma leyeh2 dan nonton film atau liatin ridwan chatan sama si inge inge tuh, kayaknya itu pacar barunya, dia selalu senyum2 kalau lagi chatan sama si inge2 itu. Dan seolah dia gk mau aku tau apa yang dia bicarakan dengan si inge, setiap dia akan bales dia selalu menghindar dari ku. Kalau kamu tanya apakah cemburu? Ya! Tentu saja aku sangat cemburu dan takut sekali kehilangan ridwan, normal gak sih aku merasakn ini, maksudnya pada dia yang bukan miliku wkwk

5 hari kemarin juga ada hari dimana aku mencoba menjawab beberapa pertanyaan yang memancing untuk mengetahui diriku, tapi ternyata aku sangat tidak mengenal diriku, aku bahkan tidak tau mesti jawab apa ketika ditanya nilai apa yang ada dalam hidupku? Aku kebingungan.

Kemudian ada lagi sejarah dimana aku menuliskan semua energi negatif yang dalam diriku ke secarik kertas kemudian aku membakarnya, dengan niat seiring kertas itu terbakar maka hilang juga semua energi negatif dalam diriku.

Tapi tentu saja proses ini tidak instan, apa aku langsung berdamai dengan diriku? Tidak dong, bahkan sampai tadi aku kesusahan bernafas saking takutnya aku kehilangan ridwan, dan saking aku gak relanya ridwan deket dengan perempuan lain.

Setiap habis sholat aku selalu minta sama allah untuk melindungiku dari perasaan2 negatif ini karena jujur ini amaaaaaat menggangguku, bahkan sampai nafsu makanku hilang, aku gk tau harus seperti apa lagi melewati hari hari ini, kata org aku harus menerima emosi ku sebelum aku berdamai dengan semuanya. Tapi aku tidak tau cara menerima emosi ku, aku baru bisa untuk jujur atas apa yang aku rasakan, namun tetap saja hal ini seolah akan membunuhku dan sangat membuat ku tersiksa dan menderita.

Btw aku udh bikin jani dengan psikolog ku, tapi dia bisanya nanti hari rabu. Aku gak kuat menerima emosiku nya dari sekarang.

Oh iya semalam aku lagi vc sama rausan kemudian ridwan manggil ngajakin makan d luar, dan masih dengan ketololan ku, aku meng iyakan ajakan dia dan matiin vc rausan.

Semalam juga ridwan datang ke kamarku, dia ngecas hp nya, sambil tiduran dan aku tidur duluan. Kemudian dia beranjak dari kasurku dan keluar kamar. Ternyata aku masih tidak nyaman dengan sikap yang itu, aku merasa ditinggalkan, merasa d jauhi.

Padahal kemarin dia tidur d kamarku sehabis nonton dan makan martabak, padahal malam itu d kamar panas bgt, aku bahkan berharap dia gk nginep d kamarku, supaya aku gk kegerahan, besok nya kita langsung ke sekolah, btw dia balik lagi ke tempat kerjaku, karena di tempat kerja sebelumnya dia d putus kontrak. Dengan niat baik aku membolohekan dia ke kantorku lg, padahal ini resikonya besar sekali, aku akan ketemu dia tiap hari, dan kalau lg gk baik itu akan memengaruhi mood ku bisa sampai seharian, aku kasiannya sama orang yang kena imbasnya. Tapi gmna ya soalnya kadang aku jga gk bisa mengontrol itu. Aku tau aku salah tapi....

Sudah beberapa malam aku memimpikan ridwan dan si inge, bangun2 aku takut dan benci sekali dengan si inge, dan tadi pagi aku mencoba untuk mengalihakn pikiranku dengan mencuci piring, tapi aku tidak kuat ternyata dan anxiety ku kambuh aku nangis cukup lama karena gak kuat sekali.... Aku coba mengalihkan pikiranku dengan baca novel, aku blm tau inu akan berhasil atau tidak .

See u letter
