    Lately conversations around the #Uyghur issue have been making rounds again on Indonesian twitter, so I wanted to repost some things I learnt from an Uyghur friend. Scepticism is healthy, but when it comes to discrimination & persecution, ALWAYS listen to those affected too.

    Showed this to my husband and he said if it happened here she could lose her job 🙃 It’s not about disagreeing & refusing to do abortions but the judgemental attitude & lack of empathy. Imagine her patient’s seeing her making this kind of content about them, I’d be traumatised!

    Indonesian Muslims: “the correct spelling/transliteration should be *exactly* ‘In-Syaa’Allah’ and ‘Maa-Syaa’Allah’, forget a single letter & God will not be pleased with you” Meanwhile my Arab friends while texting: “inshaliha” “alhumdolehah” 😅🤦🏻‍♀️😅

    Gini ya rasanya di negara yg wakil rakyatnya sadar punya konstituen 😅 Kemarin dukung inisiatif aktivis Afghan-Australia kirim email ke MP (anggota parlemen) utk advokasi isu Afghanistan. Dibalas dong sama 2 MP! Padahal bukan WN atau PR. Tapi segitu responsifnya ke konstituen 😳

    Australia baru aja meloloskan regulasi yg memberikan pekerja hak utk tidak dikontak (“right to disconnect”) terkait urusan pekerjaan di luar jam kerja, dan melindungi pekerja dari sanksi kalau tidak merespon kontak dari atasan di luar jam kerja 👍

    Kami menyadari betapa pentingnya keseimbangan antara kehidupan kerja dan pribadi. Setiap pekerja berhak atas waktu istirahat dan privasi di luar jam kerja, tanpa diganggu oleh urusan pekerjaan. Dalam kasus di mana atasan membangunkan karyawan pada tengah malam untuk merevisi

    Salut dg istri mas, hebat sekali! ☺️🙏 Tapi narasi seperti ini sebetulnya harmful buat kesejahteraan profesi2 tertentu (nakes, guru dsb). Bukan soal merasa diperbudak. Kerja keras, pengabdian, ikhlas = perlu! Tapi menuntut hidup layak itu jg hak & tidak mengurangi pengabdian. 😊

    VOLUNTERISM. Istriku seorang dokter, dia Kepala Klinik PMI (Palang Merah Indonesia) di desa kaki Gunung Sindoro. Praktis tdk digaji; honor tak sampai Rp 2 juta; kadang kerja sampai malam. Dia tdk buka praktek pribadi. Dia senang bekerja sukarela. Kami tidak merasa diperbudak.

    Baru tahu kalau @aniesbaswedan kirim surat ke Kemenkes mengusulkan vaksinasi utk pencari suaka & pengungsi di Jakarta. He’s not my fave but credit where credit is due — ini langkah yang patut diapresiasi. Terima kasih, Pak, semoga segera ditindak Menkes. 🙏

    Sejujurnya geng anti-childfree yg berisik *maupun* geng childfree yg sotoy/insensitif mengomentari parenting & keputusan orang2 yg memilih punya anak (apalagi sampe eugenik) itu sama-sama ngeselinnya sih. Saling menghormati pilihan beranak orang lain nggak susah kan yaaa 😊

    Dengan banyaknya respon kebencian thdp serangan teror yg tragis di #Christchurch NZ, termasuk statement2 ngawur spt “dunia diam saja krn korban2nya Muslim”, ada baiknya juga kita melihat (dan belajar dari) besarnya dukungan & solidaritas utk saudara2 Muslim kita di seluruh dunia.

    How come ITB graduates have such a romanticised view of Bandung, as is also the case of UGM grads with Jogja, and I just don’t feel the same way about Depok??????

    My #Uyghur friend had to seek asylum when she was doing her Master’s abroad. She hasn’t been able to speak to her family for YEARS. I asked her what she wants to tell Indonesians about Uyghurs and she said: the persecution of Uyghurs is a human rights issue, NOT a religious one.
