Hanno ucciso l'1% della popolazione per eliminare meno del 5% dei terroristi.

A me sinceramente della sorte di Hamas non frega nulla.

Per i palestinesi condivido la pietas che si concede a qualsiasi civile innocente (come con gli ucraini).

Ma quello che trovo insopportabile e offensivo è questa pretesa israeliana che io come europeo debba qualcosa a loro, o che debba per forza parteggiare per loro a causa di una supposta colpa collettiva dei nostri padri per crimini contro i loro padri.

Che debba dargli supporto incondizionato e miliardi, che debba rinunciare al mio benessere per loro, che debba soffrire conseguenze Economiche e sociali e criminali come il terrorismo in Europa.

Non è la descrizione di un rapporto alla pari, ma al contrario di un rapporto malato tra uno schiavo e un padrone.

Vi abbiamo dato tutto quello che volevate.

Arrangiatevi e non rompeteci più il cazzo.

Point of View

Akhir2 ini sempet beberapa kali liat video dengan nuansa sama. Judulnya "PoV anak rewel suami marah2 tapi saldo ATM 5M". Ada beberapa versi yang dibuat sama orang2. Pesannya sama, bedanya paling ada di angka M nya ; ada yang 5M, 2M, 3M, dll.

Singkat cerita video itu memperlihatkan ibu2 lagi gendong/nemenin anak yang lagi tantrum. Sambil full senyum tanpa jeda. Nah yang menarik, di kolom komentar hampir semua sepakat sama PoV tersebut.

Di awal mungkin kita juga secara refleks membenarkan hal tersebut ya. Termasuk saya. Sempet ketawa juga. Apalagi di kondisi yang lagi benar2 sulit dalam hal finansial. Merasa relate dan ada temennya.

Sampai saya tertegun oleh salah satu komentar "Akhirnya terkuak ya rahasia gentle parentingnya Nikita Willy"

Saya nggak tau... Apa sayanya aja terlalu nganggep serius konten yang niatnya mungkin hanya guyon ini?

Tapi di lubuk hati terdalam.... kok saya merasa direndahkan ya sebagai perempuan.

Mengasuh dan mendidik anak dengan penuh kesabaran itu kan sebuah keharusan. Karena anak adalah amanah dari Allah yang harus dijaga sebaik mungkin. Lagipula, Allah juga telah menciptakan fitrah seorang perempuan itu penuh kasih sayang. Ssetidaknya kadar/potensi kelembutan perempuan terbukti lebih besar daripada laki2.

Tapi dengan adanya konten seperti itu --dan banyak yang setuju, maka sama saja dengan perempuan mengkerdilkan dirinya sendiri.

Padahal seorang ibu, terlepas dari kondisinya (ekonomi) seperti apa selalu bisa menjadi mulia karena tugas yang diembannya.

Padahal seorang ibu, atas segala pengorbanan dan jasanya, tak kan bisa terbayar oleh saldo rekening berapa-M pun!

Baru sanggup lemah lembut ketika segalanya melimpah.

Baru bisa bersabar ketika rekening unlimited.

Baru mau senyum ketika punya semuanya.

Seriously, ini sama sekali tidak lucu :( emang boleh hubungan ibu-anak setransaksional itu?

Jujur yang saya khawatirkan, banyak ibu2 yang seolah mendapatkan validasi atas sikapnya yang kurang patut pada anak dengan dalih "Ya iyalah, gw kan bukan Nikita Willy yang gak mikir besok mau makan apa"

Semoga memang hanya saya yang terlalu serius terhadap konten bercandaan ini.

Semoga ibu2 yang menonton konten tersebut paham bahwa kaya raya bukanlah syarat untuk menjalankan peran terbaik sebagai ibu.

Karena apapun dan bagaimanapun kondisinya, naluri seorang ibu, selalu ingin melakukan dan memberikan yang terbaik untuk anak2nya.

Captured in a moment

I wish you could see how I see the world. I wish you could know how I see it... But I myself can barely voice it...

I struggle voicing my thoughts, I can barely write a journal entry. It's truly pitiful, that a soul like that aspires to write stories.

Even poetry at times feels like a chore, when I put pen to a paper, words leave me, left behind is a sore throat.

And then there are moments like today. I am sitting on a train station, waiting for my train to come. And I see a boy. He was walking around, pacing back and forth. In his hand a small bouquet of flowers, purple, whites and greens. And then I saw a sparkle in his eye as he looked at a girl he loves. I swear that smile could light up a room. He adored her so much, I felt the warmth of his heart.

They shared a smile, he held her the bouquet. They shared a kiss, together, hand in hand, walked away.

I took a picture of them in my head. Went to my mind palace.

A white room full of polaroid pictures. All moving, captured moments. Hung upon lines of string, with fairy-lights lighting the room.

I wish you could feel the moments how I do. I wish I could tell you, how I feel them. I wish you could see the moments the way I do.

But in the end I can only capture them for myself.

Meco Velez Shares Her "Point Of View" In Six Seductive Movements Meco Velez arrives with "Point Of View" EP carrying the confidence of someone who has already survived what she's singing about. This six-track debut EP functions as both confession and declaration – a carefully orchestrated reversal of traditional power dynamics that positions the singer firmly in control of her own narrative. The Puerto Rican and African American artist has previously established herself with tracks like "Dark" and "Speed," but "Point Of View" represents a quantum leap in artistic sophistication. "All That" opens the collection with the confidence of someone who knows exactly what they bring to the table. Velez flips the script on traditional power dynamics, transforming from potential victim to calculated player. The production pulses with intention while her vocals carry the weight of someone who's learned that vulnerability can be weaponized. When she declares her intentions about wanting everything he has, it's not desperation – it's strategy. The swagger in this song is part of a larger talk going on in modern pop music, where female artists are taking back stories that have usually been told from male points of view. Think of how Doja Cat reconstructed desire in "Woman" or how SZA made uncertainty feel powerful in "Good Days." Velez works in the same area, but her style is unique, combining the confidence of the Caribbean with the drive of Californians. "Pulse" serves as the EP's centrepiece, and rightfully so. This track captures something primal about attraction – that moment when desire becomes so intense it manifests physically. The atmospheric production creates space for Velez's vocals to breathe and seduce simultaneously. She's not just singing about wanting someone; she's painting the physiological response to that want. The visual component of this track, mentioned in the press materials, suggests an artist who understands that modern music consumption is multimedia. The collaboration with Big Baby Gucci on "Thief In The Night" introduces an interesting dynamic. Rather than the typical call-and-response format many duets employ, both artists explore the same emotional territory from different angles. Heartbreak becomes a shared experience rather than a gendered one. Gucci's perspective adds depth without overshadowing Velez's narrative control. The track feels like a conversation between two people who've been hurt in similar ways, finding solidarity in their shared confusion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0x6mwXo4nEc&list=OLAK5uy_n_99qGmsuyGu979X3ZrNm7BRcciGVSU58 "Addicted" ventures into territory that many artists approach with kid gloves, but Velez handles it with surgical precision. The song explores the frustration of wanting someone beyond the boundaries they've established. It's honest about the messiness of human connection – how friendship can feel insufficient when deeper feelings exist. The production supports this emotional complexity with layers that build and recede like the push and pull of the relationship she's describing. "Forbidden Fruit" might be the EP's most sophisticated moment. The biblical reference isn't accidental – Velez is playing with themes of temptation and moral complexity that have fascinated artists for centuries. The moody production creates an atmosphere of tension that mirrors the internal conflict she's expressing. This track demonstrates her ability to handle nuanced emotional territory without losing the pop sensibility that makes her accessible. The EP concludes with "Fantasy" a disco-pop confection that feels like stepping into sunlight after spending time in emotional shadows. The shift in tone isn't jarring; it's earned. After five tracks of exploring complex relationship dynamics, this final song offers release. The shimmering production and euphoric energy create the magical space Velez intended – a place where complications dissolve into pure feeling. What makes "Point Of View" particularly compelling is how Velez balances commercial appeal with artistic integrity.

These songs work as individual singles while contributing to a cohesive narrative arc. [caption id="attachment_60375" align="alignnone" width="1600"] Meco Velez Shares Her Point Of View In Six Seductive Movements[/caption] The EP format allows her to explore different facets of desire and power without the pressure of filling a full album. Each track serves a specific purpose in the larger story she's telling. The production throughout maintains a consistent aesthetic while allowing each song its own personality. The pop-R&B fusion feels natural rather than calculated, suggesting an artist who's found her sound rather than chasing trends. Velez's vocal performance adapts to each track's needs – assertive when the moment calls for power, vulnerable when the story requires it. "Point Of View" positions Meco Velez as an artist worth watching in the evolving Latin pop scene. She's not trying to fit into existing categories; she's creating her own space. The EP suggests someone who understands that authenticity in pop music comes from being specific about your experiences rather than trying to appeal to everyone. This collection refuses to apologize for its boldness or soften its edges for broader appeal. She's not just making music; she's making statements about what it means to be a young woman navigating desire, ambition, and identity in 2025. The EP leaves you wanting to know what comes next, which might be the highest compliment you can pay to any debut project. https://open.spotify.com/album/2UJoPHo62q53cRMlVaQznb?si=ijgbpR7nSfCkgWQMOuslGg

Sometimes, even at work, it helps to confront an opposing point of view.

The way people view you.

Good morning. 🌿🍃🍂

26 February 2025

I spent several minutes searching for this morning's photograph, and once I finally found it, I wondered why I thought it was so special. I had been tempted to post it several times over the past weeks but wanted to save it for a morning post. Perhaps I was viewing it through different eyes. The out-of-focus leaves and glistening dew had obviously captivated me at the time. But this morning, I'm not seeing the magic. Maybe I have a split personality. Let me check. Nope, it's just me in here, all alone. Sometimes, I guess you have to look at things differently to appreciate what is happening.

kosong

kalo kosong adalah isi dan isi adalah kosong, maka tidak ada yang absolut di dunia ini sebenernya. semua tergantung dari sudut pandang. baik buruk sekalipun.

kecuali

kalo sudah bicara hukum, di mata Allah. selesai. nggak ada lagi ruang diskusi. karena hukum apapun yang telah ditetapkan, itu sudah yang terbaik. terbaik untuk mengatur manusia.

lalu bagaimana dengan sudut pandang?

jika tidak masuk ke ranah hukum, maka semua boleh berpendapat. semua boleh ngasih masukan dan saran. sereceh apapun itu.

kebebasan berpendapat. selama itu sopan dan relevan.

hidup punya kebebasan untuk berbicara ternyata menyenangkan. bisa mengutarakan pikiran dari sudut pandang 'saya' ternyata melegakan.

tahu bahwa tidak semua hal 'saya' bisa diterima.

tapi ternyata punya 'keberanian' untuk melakukan itu, membuat kita merasa menjadi lebih 'manusia'
