Hello! I just refreshed my pinned tweets. I usually share all things Tolkien, folklore, folktale, and sometimes just RT cute arts or cats. Below are examples of the types of things I like to tweet!. This one is about Tolkien's essay on fairy stories.
On 8 March 1939, J. R. R. Tolkien delivered a lecture at the University of St. Andrews, which was published as essay "On Fairy Stories", in which he argued that fairy tales are not just for children, describing what it means to enter this realm. 🧵1/8. 🎨: J.R.R. #Tolkien

Relief of Borobudur Temple in Magelang, Central Java, depicting kinnara and kinnari, half-bird creatures associated with music and love. The kinnari is Manohara, beloved by Prince Sudana, a bodhisattva, going through tribulations before their love was accepted. #FolkloreSunday

Happy #Caturday to the resident cat at Museum Tekstil Jakarta who, for a very obvious reason, is not allowed inside. Sorry, kitty. (Photos taken last year)

Akulah Vivian (I Am Vivian) is a 1977 Indonesian film by M. Endraatmadja, describing the story of Vivian Rubianti Iskandar, the first trans person in Indonesia legally recognized by the state as their true gender. She gained the recognition on 11 November 1973. #WyrdWednesday

Ever fixated on a song so much you kept playing it daily for months? For me, it's "Dalaa Dalouna" by Palestinian singer Mohammed Assaf. I realized this is one of those social distancing-era music videos. I hope these performers are safe, wherever they are.

Last Saturday (12 July 2025) was "Tumpek Uye" in Bali, the day of honoring and sanctifying animals, a part of the worship of Rare Angon, an incarnation of Shiva as a shepherd. Locals make offerings, praying for the animals, and giving them extra treats or toys. #FolkloreSunday

Judul asli novel "Dunia Tanpa Cinta" oleh penulis Palestina Susan Abulhawa adalah "Against the Loveless World"; dari esai tahun 1962 oleh aktivis kulit hitam James Baldwin. Terjemahan Indonesia oleh Yunita Candra Sari bagus. Terima kasih @bentangpustaka sudah menerbitkannya.

After RuPaul and Desy Ratnasari, Oscar Wilde and Doraemon is truly the wildest collab in this queer poetry collection, and I'm here for it.

Queering Sapardi Djoko Damono and clashing Desy Ratnasari with RuPaul are the last things I expected from this book, but honestly, work. Listen to the Stonewall Jukebox playlist or the entire Kai Mata discography for full effect.

Mohammed El-Kurd quoted Irish poet Padraic Fiacc on the first chapter of "Perfect Victims and the Politics of Appeal". The full video of him reciting Fiacc's "Soldiers" was uploaded by Irish Artists for Palestine YT, as it reflects the way the world see Palestinians.

Statement like "There were people there, but they had no history" is a tale as old as time.

My new books just came! They are: a collection of Indonesian queer poems, two Indonesian translations of Palestinian literary fictions ("Against the Loveless World" and "Minor Detail"), and anthology of essays reflecting on the ongoing, enduring protest Aksi Kamisan.

Have to say that using "cruising faery" for a writing about queerness in actual faery stories is a cheeky one. I love the "queerness negotiating with society" angle in the tales of Farmer Giles, Niggle, and Smith. And please ignore the orange supernatural apparition in the back.

"Tolkien and Alterity" (ed. Christopher Vaccaro and Yvette Kisor), is an anthology that explore Otherness in Tolkien's works. I love "Revisiting Lobelia", "Cruising Faery: Queer Desire in Giles, Niggle, and Smith", and "The Orcs and the Others". #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday
