University news that I haven't been updated on these past few weeks: from Marinduque State College (IIRC), it's now a legit bonafide University as of today, all with cheers and shouts, for the betterment of students, profs, staff, and other local stakeholders alike.

At kahapon, may idinaos na pista para sa wikang #Cuyonon sa Coli ng Puerto Princesa; paggising ko nga sa kama'y iyan ang nabungad ko sa ingay ng radyo namin sa labas.

Mukhang masaya't kapupulutan ng aral roon, kahit na hindi ako makapunta roon.

'O, mukhang Undas na naman, at ang mga namayapa... hanap nila'y katarungan sa katiwalian, o mga bulong ng kapayapaan para sa lahat.
Kahit pa bulaklak na akma sa kanilang mga dating katauhan, oks nga raw.

no, this is not in indonesia #tootsea #fedisea

a forbes article on #tourism in #bali #indonesia which makes angry, but alas it provides at least insides into the history of premium tourism on the island and it names the perpetrators #tootsea #fedisea

ok boosting this bc it features artists of southeast asian origin and it is indeed a feature without well-known only-for-the-hype-questions

anyway, it is still the #residentadvisor which can go to hell tbh

daun pisang (banana leaves) also great as a substitute for plastic bags for meals #mytoots #tootsea #fedisea

indonesians have been working in japan's health sector for a long time now and many, really many of those who do come from rural areas far away from bigger cities #tootsea #fedisea

this is feby indirani's short story (cerpen or cerita pendek in indonesian) called «rencana pembunuhan sang muazin» (the plan to kill the muezzin), published in 2017:

thinking of bali means to think of western foreigners misbehaving in many ways ...

in general, foreigners have changed bali for the worse in general into a place that is neither livable nor affordable for locals who are not only stuck in the middle income trap, but depend wholly on the tourism industry which requires locals to import almost everything

@ncoca@social.coop to be clear: the path of iias today was already visible >10 yrs ago #TootSEA #fediSEA

@ncoca@social.coop which is even more outrageous if you look at iias as a self-styled research institute from the netherlands

on the other hand: the iias is part of the plan to eradicate any serious research activity on asia in the netherlands, so the bs article on xinjiang does not come unexpected #TootSEA #fediSEA

a friendica group works quite similar to a facebook group > you can post sth into this group & the group will automatically reshare your post > the same applies to all comments to your post

all you have to do is (1) become member of a friendica group & (2) tag the group name in your post

here is an example of an existing friendica group: https://venera.social/profile/fediversenews

i.e. a friendica group is about getting & staying connected > friendica groups are open to everybody in the fedi regardless of the very software in use > so e.g. you can be a mastodon user or maybe a pleroma user & still post into the group

even more fun: friendica supports activitypub, but also other protocols, so it is perfectly possible that you may have a conversation with someone who is on the diaspora* network or else

a highly criminal billionaire from #indonesia gets a 15 yrs sentence & he has to pay more than $2.7 billion in fines > that's great news from #SouthEastAsia #TootSEA #fediSEA
