im learning how to make my own batik and i'll never ever complain about the prices of batik tulis ever again. if anything the price of batik tulis is criminally underrated (Rp 750K ++ / 45 USD), because each line is gonna be WAXED INDIVIDUALLY

(8) People are getting shot, not with rubber bullets but with LIVE AMMO. Several groups tried to send first aid items to YLBHI (legal aid institute), but the military BLOCKED US. People are hearing gunshots all over the city. They turned off TikTok Live to prevent info exchange. (GRAPHIC IMAGES)

(7) On 30th, the masses raided Sahroni's (an MP's house) (it's kind of funny tho cos they raided his bathtub and underwear too)(and those things are paid with our taxes) but the cops and military used this as an excuse to escalate things. Remember the media blackout? It's for this moment.

(6) Protests went on from 29th to 30th, and some mercs/provocators burned down bus stations. Not only that, there are broadcasts to attack Chindos(Chinese Indonesians) and repeat the 98 tragedy. This is such a heinous tactic to exploit our collective trauma, tho thankfully most people called it out.

(4) On the night of 28 August 2025. An ojol (rideshare motorcycle driver) was delivering food. He was just doing his job. Then the police, in tactical vehicle, MOWED HIM DOWN. it WASNT an accident. there are videos going around from inside the car saying 'just hit him'. (GRAPHIC VIDEO BTW)

(3) Then they announced that the MPs are given Rp 50 mil/month pocket money in addition to their salary. Minimum wage in Jakarta is Rp 5mil/month, and in some places it can go as low as Rp 2.1 mil/month. People were rightfully angry, and protests broke out

(2) Honestly the rage has been building ever since they made a human rights violator a president. Raised taxes, cutting healthcare & teachers' wages, destroying Raja Ampat & the Indigenous people there in favor of nickel mining. Also the politicans mocked us while they're draining us.

(1)🚨ALL EYES ON INDONESIA🚨
It's 0.41. A.M. Local time. First they cut off the power in Kwitang & Senen. Then the snipers came. And now they're using live bullets.
Just 3 days ago the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission silenced the journalists to not broadcast the protests.

There's a lot of Discourse over Macron's visit at #Borobudur re: the TEMPORARY installation of chairlifts. Lots of people are worried of the structural integrity over the 1,200 y.o. temple, and some are celebrating the inclusivity. As a disabled Buddhist Indonesian I have two words to say: fuck you.

As any transmasc I sometimes have an impostor syndrome AM I MASCULINE ENOUGH
the answer is always yes especially when our own masculinity has been colonized
