Merry Christmas and happy Holidays proper! Like per tradition we celebrated the holidays on the 24th and it was a pleasure like always. I just adore Christmas and the jolly season. We visited some relatives and ate good Christmas food, then shared some presents.

We got this wooden sign for our parents that you can attach to a wall with a metal leg. You know those wooden signs that usually hang next to shops or taverns outside? Exactly like that. Our parents have this big cottage on their yard that was used for boat repairing back in the day, but it was converted into a hangout place where you can listen to music, sing karaoke and have a few drinks between family and friends.

Me and my little brother gave our Christmas gift to my older brother much earlier this year, it was a used Nintendo Switch with the new Zelda game, and that was in the summer when it released. A very early gift indeed. For my little brother we got a zombie head ashtray. He's a smoker and really enjoys zombies.

I in turn got a South Park themed t-shirt from my brothers, and from my parents we all got a mutual gift that was this weird bucket that has lights and can play music. You can put some ice in it and store drinks there and then listen to music via Bluetooth. You can also use it in the sauna as a water bucket, or a "kiulu" how we'd call it in Finnish. Although I wouldn't trust taking an electric device like that to the sauna, I know it's meant for it, but I'm not sure I trust it. In the manual they even advice to fill the bucket with cold water so it doesn't heat up to much in the sauna.

I hope everyone had (or will have) a good Christmas! Or whatever you might be celebrating at this time of the year.

last night T and i were in the sauna and i started pouring cool water on him from the kiulu with my hands and i was suddenly struck by the gentleness of my own act and the thought that all the couples that came before us have done that too. i'm also thinking about my mother preparing me the water in all the saunas with no running water and no electricity, and the fresh smell of beer when my dad and grandfather drank a single sauna beer outside the cottage sauna at the end of a summer day. when i fell into the nettles and my parents got warm water from the huge water stove in the sauna and sat me in a bucket. a place for healing and love.

"A geologist has warned that the increase in tourism-related projects in Kundasang can lead to landslides reminiscent of what recently happened in Batang Kali, Selangor." Ooookkk 😢

"He said a landslide was only one of many disasters waiting to happen in Sabah’s many tourist destinations, including campsites in popular locations such as Kiulu, Kota Belud and Bundu Tuhan."

Kiulu??? I have to call my friend.

I usually leave interpretation of my stuff up to the beholder but I guess most people lack the context to do that (and Twitter mutuals have long awaited for an explanation about indigenous Sabahan beliefs from me anyways) so here's my take:

Momolianism is a modern name given to the official narrative of the mythology believed by Sabah's indigenous groups, the Kadazandusun. In reality, these groups are linguistically, culturally and spiritually diverse, but the creation of "Momolianism" as a cultural symbol was a necessary step to bind these groups in a pact of solidarity. While the official narrative is polytheist—with two creator gods Kinoingan and Suminundu as well as their two children, god-turned-Satan Ponompulan and goddess Ponompuan, the latter of whom was sacrificed when the Kadazandusun were famined and thus gained the name Huminodun—the version espoused in this work is essentially monotheistic, akin to what is believed by the Dusun of Ranau District and the Rungus, among others.

The idea of the Creator being cosmic is due to the fact that many indigenous groups believe he lives above Earth. Words that describe His abode include libabou (the seventh and highest of the heavenly layers), kagayaan "stellar space" and kadawangan "vast upper space, perhaps galaxy". The use of the image in the background is a visual play on the phrase "cosmic eyes", imagining the cosmic eyes as two galaxies. It touches on the seemingly extraterrestrial transcendence of the Creator who however is also frequently anthropomorphized.

Minama'al is another name for Kinorohingan which literally means "One who Created" in the Kuamut Sungai language. Similar epithets used among other groups include Minomorun (same meaning) and Kinopuunan "Beginning" (cf. Paluan Murut Aki Kinapuno "Grandfather Beginning").

The final excerpt is actually not a reference to the traditional Creator in the original text but is instead taken from a journal article by a Jesuit reflecting on his initiation into the Murut world of spirits as a legitimate way to encounter the Catholic understanding of the Divine. It is an intentional Abrahamization of the indigenous idea of the Creator, acting as an added drop of reality into the work and representing the constant dynamic discussion in the modern age between the structures of Momolianism and Christianity as two lived and living traditions within a shared space (the Kadazandusun community).

Finally, in the centre, Anthus is drawn with their bleeding upper half supported by white strings (interpretable as leftover muscle from their forearm, or just silly white ropes; whichever you fancy). In light of the prior explanations, this can be viewed as them receiving divine punishment. This is the original intent of the title sogit songinan namatai i.e. a fine of one corpse. Traditionally, the worst penalty (sogit) under native law was death or torture by various ways but this was abolished when civil law took precedence in the lives of Sabah's indigenous peoples.

It could also be viewed as Anthus experiencing unnecessary worldly torture in the hands of others (acting as a sogit sacrifice) with the text and background being a reminder that somuli (in Dusun) or olumaagan (in Rungus)—a concept not unlike Dharmic karma—exists and that the Creator will do unto us how we do unto others.
