Cat reliefs "Tisya" and "Pusya" on Borobudur Temple and a relief of a cat with prayer beads on Mendut Temple (both in Central Java) share the theme of deception in their roles; similar to Tevildo, a fay-cat and the early version of Sauron. 🧵1/3

The Z!onist president would rather spend tax money on this than on rebuilding flood-affected areas, education, and many, many more urgent matters. And I'll say it again: 🇮🇩 is not a Muslim nation. Muslims are the majority here, that's all.

i've been saying this like a broken record, but the reason i grew up loving reading and then started writing is because reading was inexpensive and my family was poor. it was a rare, affordable form of entertainment. the library in conjunction with mmpbs made it possible.

The post-Me Too era has really taught me that the underlying issue with the persistence of sexual violence isn’t exactly women’s credibility, as the “believe women” slogan suggested, but rather with rape’s moral status. It’s not that people think it doesn’t happen. They think it doesn’t matter.

Lot's of discussions on AI today. But maybe it could help generate ideas for stories? I have several notebooks filled with ideas. Ideas are not the problem. It's writing a great story that takes time. But maybe it could be used to make an outline of the story from an idea? Nope. Hell no.
