Please read. We're not doing good over here. #indonesia

Dear friends,

An ojol (motorcycle taxi) driver was killed tonight in Jakarta
after being struck by a police car during the protests. His death
is more than an accident, it is the cost of living under unjust
policies. I can't stop thinking: it could have been me, it could
have been any of us.

The protests erupted after Indonesia's parliament approved a
scandalous housing allowance of Rp 50 million (= USD 3,100) per
month for each MP—while the minimum wage in Jakarta is only
Rp 5.4 million (= USD 330). How can we survive in a country where
lawmakers grant themselves luxuries worth nearly ten times the
salary of an ordinary worker?

But the fury on the streets is not only about parliament. It is also
about the reckless, cruel policies under President Prabowo
Subianto:

° Billions of dollars wasted on fighter jets and
submarines while millions remain poor and hungry.

° Rising food prices because of mismanaged imports,
crushing families who already struggle to eat.

° Authoritarian attempts to silence critics and shrink
our democratic space.

° Endless elitist perks for officials, while hospitals,
schools, and public transport are left behind.

This is why people are angry. This is why people are afraid.
Tonight, when an ojol driver lost his life, I felt that fear in my
bones. Because if the state refuses to protect us, and instead
protects only its elites, then none of us are safe.

Iam angry, furious that our lives are treated as disposable. I
am afraid—afraid that tomorrow, more people will die simply
for demanding dignity.

Task you, my international friends, please don't look away.
Indonesia is not only facing a crisis of policy—it is facing a crisis
of justice, of humanity, of democracy itself. Soread this
awareness. Let the world know what is happening here.

Because silence will only mean more lives lost.

Oh, okay, clearly God didn't feel I was angry ENOUGH yet-

Time for @sakarafox.bsky.social's cave foxes to be the Wantaelians' guests!
Kuveli loves riding Sakara's mare Pekka, so when Lani mentioned his motorbike and explained what it was, the kid asked for a race on a local country road! Plenty of fun—at 60 kph!

Art by the great @rimou.bsky.social!

An improvised race on a small brick road on Wantael Island in late Spring. Green fields and pastures, reminiscent of Ireland, Cornwall or Brittany. Blooming brooms and elderberries.

In a background: the ocean coast, an optical telegraph tower and a village with isolated houses. Sheep grazing here and there.

On the left, my fursona Lani, riding his orange motorcycle, with Kuveli, a young cave fox, as a passenger, euphoric with the speed. On the right, Sakara, a prehistoric fox, riding his grey mare Pekka, with my genet OC Taray as a passenger. Both have blue body paint on them. The viverrid looks overjoyed, likely from holding the fox tight.

True

Imo the thing that contributes to its "ugliness" is just the wall. Just give it some paint and it'll look much sleeker

Indonesian fundies would usually protest in front of the Armenian embassy in Jakarta, calling them "savages" for trying to defend Armenians in Artsakh. Where are they now, huh?

European polecats, the wild relatives of pet ferrets. These are really fun creatures to draw, so I enjoyed this a lot. ^^

You can find all kinds of prints and products with this design from my Redbubble store: www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1746...

#mammals #sciart #art #mustelid #polecat #ferret 🎨

An illustration of a pair of polecats with exaggerated ferret-like fur patterns. Their bodies and faces are light tan or cream color, and their legs, tails, necks and face markings are dark brown. One is studying a hollow tree stump and the other has just landed on its front feet after a leap, with the rest of its body still defying gravity.

"Drawtober 6 - Soil"

A burial scene of a random small Lupine pack from my fantasy setting. Many Lupines bury their dead wrapped in a decorated quilt, whereas Ursines for example prefer burial fires or cremation of their dead.

#furry #drawtober

a pack of anthro wolves (6 of them) gathered around a grave in a forest that is still open, with dead pack member at the bottom of the grave, wrapped in a blanket appearing as if they were just sleeping.

Nakamudra 🌹(COMMISSIONS OPEN!) @nakamudra.bsky.social · 3d

Ah, Indonesians in IG Reels are truly something.

A video of a Muslim family having their baby blessed by a bhikku. The comments are full of people screaming "TOLERATE, NOT COLLABORATE!1!1"

Well, the Constitution guarantees freedom of religion. They're not preaching their beliefs too, so who gaf?

Did a sketch of an Imperial Marine for my setting, a corporal in the 2nd. Flusskappe Colonial Brigade (the 'Einhorner Division'). Seen here with the distinctive facial shaving of combat-duty marines, to accommodate the use of a gas mask.
