A nice read.

my favorite Indonesian word is "orangtua" (parent), which is not only gender-neutral but also singular-plural-neutral too. bam, nobody knows whether you come from a single-parent or a five-parent household.

today is international Appreciation of Friends Who Are Busy AF and Still Use Proper Grammar+Spelling+Punctuation in their DMs day

It's incredible thinking how many of us stand on the shoulders of giants who make free software.

seeing other translators have to grapple with RTL, umlaut/special chars, fonts, etc. make me super grateful for the fact that Indonesian is 100% Latin alphabet

Bung Shapiro dan Bapak Peterson MENGHANCURKAN president republik indonesia JOKO WIDODO dengan FAKTA dan LOGIKA

Fictional candidates Nurhadi and Aldo got into the Guardian, presented as a voice and consequence of dissatisfied and stressed young voters.

Reading it, I suppose it could also look like we want a liberal candidate -- someone who supports LGBT rights, marijuana, etc. But a candidate like that isn't only nonexistent, but also unthinkable in today's Indonesia.

So we created a fictional candidate instead.

It's no longer a question of which presidential candidate is the lesser evil, but whether to abstain or not abstain.

Fuck this shit.

It's debate night.

I'm not watching. I'm just so exhausted from trying to keep up with both of the candidates while stuffing myself with Nurhadi-Aldo memes ... I'm not watching. I feel kind of guilty about that, like I'm not taking the democracy seriously or something.

I'll catch up later via YouTube or the newspaper or something I guess ... but not today. Just exhausted. Just sick of everything.

TIL computational origami is a thing. I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!

Haga's theorems are some of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

A nice read.

next experiment: find out whether you can actually create a whip cream lookalike with milk and agar.

Chocolate-flavored egg yolks cooked in a bain-marie taste surprisingly decent. Not too soft, rather chewy, and still retaining that egg-ey flavor.

I, however, have discovered that I'm not terribly fond of steamed meringue. (To be honest? Ew.)
