Where do we go from here? Facts: when residents apply pressure, air quality improves. When we stop organizing, things go back to ‘normal’. This is a game of stamina, and persistence. Our life and activism must outlast their bottom line

@zedecksiew.bsky.social made some really cool drawings of us residents meeting with refinery management, including the door gifts - plastic water tumblers and succulent plants.
At least they didn’t give us *fire extinguishers*, like at the last meeting 🧯🧯🧯

Brian often makes me think about how Thich Nhat Hanh describes who can be relied on in society.
‘I don’t believe in the intellectuals very much’ - luv to be dragged by a zen master lol
I want to be like Brian - arguably, an intellectual who CAN be relied on, who shows up

Written by Brian Khow, a friend and comrade I met through a local branch of Parti Sosialis Malaysia. In our house we call Brian ‘Poot's Best Friend’, because he's the only stranger our anti-social cat, Poot, doesn't sprint away from 💨

Was introduced to buah kasai which grows everywhere in Batu Arang. The hard shell can only be opened by crushing one fruit against another! Good metaphor for solidarity in there.
Tastes like if rambutan and longan had a delicious baby

My favorite part of the cover art (by our dear friend Jun Kit) is this farting snail. In Malay, the word for snail is siput, and 'si' is a prefix used to call someone names, like si bodoh (dumbass), si pencuri (thief), etc. So si *poot* is a farter AND snail mwahahhaa
