Was trying to find a song for my playlist in Gujarati but YouTube Music's search feature is, um, kinda random. Returned among other things the wonderful song Ya Sudahlah by Bondan Prakoso & Fade2Black
#Indonesian rescuers raced to evacuate thousands of people Thursday after a #volcano erupted five times, forcing authorities to close a nearby airport and issue a warning that the crater collapsing into the sea could cause a tsunami. Mount Ruang's crater flamed with lava against a backdrop of lightning bolts overnight after eruptions pushed an ash column more than a mile into the sky and forced authorities to raise their alert to the highest level.
So I bought this #rantang at the local #Indonesian store yesterday, and filled it up with food to celebrate the end of #Ramadan with my girlfriend. The weather was kinda bad, so no outside picnic as we originally intended, though.
Just so you know there is an Indonesian phrase for expressing gratitude that’s exclusively meant to be said by foreigners and they all just know it the moment they talk to locals.
The phrase is Terry McKasey. And the response when someone says this to you is Terry McKasey Cam Bali or just Cam Bali for short. Sometimes saying Summer-summer also works.
The six-episode series will present Ellyas Pical's journey, a child from Saparua, Maluku who has succeeded in achieving glory in a #WorldBoxing event and is the pride of #Indonesia.
The strong bond established between journalists from Malaysia and Indonesia to form a strong foundation can serve as a bridge to connect the people of both countries and become a major component in resolving conflicts that may arise.
Hi everyone! I'm Detha, a new member of Beige Party-goers with #AuDHD from #Indonesia, #TootSEA.
I'm currently in my late-20s and a #polyglot — I speak three languages fluently: #Indonesian, #Javanese, and #English. I've also been learning #Japanese, currently trying to memorise Hiragana and Katakana letters.
Other than that, I love reading #manga a lot. Currently I'm making it my mission to read older mangas from my childhood, like #DetectiveConan and #Hellsing. I like reading in general, just not "actual books" haha — my attention span can't handle it.
I guess that's what I can think of for my #introduction for now. I have a lot more scattered interests though, so you'll be seeing more of it on my account.
Thank you to @theropologist for accepting my request to join this instance, and nice to meet you all! Beige-bless :bb:
My latest biography for #WikipediaAsianMonth, I actually came across this guy by chance because he shares a family name with someone I was already researching, and he kept appearing in results.
Urbanus Pardede (c.1903-19??) was an #Indonesian journalist and #Communist Party activist from the 1920s until at least the 1950s. He was interned in Boven-Digoel camp from around 1928-30 and the injustice of his case was even discussed in the Tweede Kamer in the Netherlands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbanus_Pardede
Bolby explained that raising the Palestinian flag, especially in #Gaza is forbidden by #Israel . Thus, watermelon became a #symbol of #resistance . "Watermelons have the same color combination as the Palestinian flag," Bolby said.
The #TYPO3#CodeOfConduct is short and sweet at 157 words — and available in 17 languages. 🇺🇳 More translations are very welcome! (Contact me if you want to add one.) https://typo3.org/coc
Lie On Moy (born 1884 in #Padang, Sumatra) was one of the first Chinese #Indonesian women journalists and published translators, although very little is documented about her life. She was the wife of Lauw Giok Lan, himself quiet a well known journalist and translator.
My second #Wikipedia biography for #WikipediaAsianMonth is about Tiffany Tsao, an American-born writer and literary translator based in Sydney. She has won awards over the past decade for translating some #Indonesian works into English, including of Norman Erikson Pasaribu and Budi Darma.🤔 📝 📚
And, may I add she is one of those figures who I miss from the more diverse and eclectic world of twitter pre-Musk, who often commented on issues of translation and culture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiffany_Tsao
When Dian was six she narrowly escaped a #tsunami of boiling mud that completely submerged 16 villages under a moonscape of grit, leaving 60,000 people #displaced . #Lapindo - an #Indonesian drilling company, had unleashed a violent, unstoppable flow from the earth's depths, estimated to continue for another decade. Shot over six years, GRIT witnesses Dian's transformation in to a politically active teen, as she and her mother take on the perpetrators. https://youtu.be/5fx_A2wvBG4?si=pVOHX9ZrO4m-MLYU #AsianMastodon#SEA
