Finally finished my latest article for #WikipediaAsianMonth, though since it's now December in Asia I think I missed the deadline to enter it in the contest.🥺

This mass arrest episode kept coming up in my last few biographies, and actually it ties into about 8 other biographies I've written on #Wikipedia over the years about Indonesian #communist figures. Actually almost any communist they could get their hands on in 1951 was detained, including my friend's grandfather.

A right wing Suharto era Indonesian general meeting behind closed doors with the CIA, it's just like old times😐

@CedarTea I've worked in libraries for 25 years and I find them essential but also tbh I kinda miss the diversity of library worker and scholars from twitter who would openly rag on them and problematize many aspects of them😆 📚 some of us are on here but not enough

How can I now get rid of this cardboard box and wrapping paper which appears to play a key role in my cats' daily life.
I put it up while vacuuming and forgot about it and they cast it to the floor again so they could resume sitting in it. #kittens #TuxedoCats #AnimalFriendship
