Alas, this book accompanied me today. “My family settled in a place that was not made for them, but they called it home. How is that for a metaphor of Black life in America?” ; “On the revolutionary side, [blue] was a color of Black self-adornment in the face of disregard.”

Happy birthday to my most favorite philosopher, Gillian Rose. Thanks for making me realize that I’m capable of falling in love with someone over a good & challenging writing.

21 years ago, the government of Indonesia murdered Munir, Indonesia’s prominent human rights activist. He was a fierce critic of the Army’s rampant abuse in Aceh & East Timor. Baik-baik, orang baik.

Went to Central Jakarta today. I forgot it’s independence day. Too many people were failed by bad infrastructure & so noisy because of air shows. But the train is only Rp 80 (US$ 0.005) until tomorrow 🤓 and ofc: some me time @ Ragusa (another bad decision, it’s behind the Army Command Center!)
