This Pride, let's remember our roots. Pride started as a riot against discrimination, oppression, and police brutality. Our rights are being taken away, and the only way we'll get them back is to stand up for ourselves.

Es hängen jetzt sogar Schilder dort:

On day 3 when I finally figured out how to play this game, Fishing Village was finally accessible to cross. I still remember this when I started taking Harry & Kim to this village (after facing Harry's mental breakdown on his MC on the coast), I found this old lady with little bubble speech appeared. At first I thought my eyes tricked me because I wasn't expecting anything to come up in my native language but curiosity got me - I waited for the bubble speech to appear again.

Suddenly the SEApride in me bursting lmaooooooooo. LIKE HOW IN ANY NUMBER OF STATISTICS COULD CALCULATE THE LIKELIHOOD THIS FOLK SONG FROM RIAU, INDONESIA (THE VERY SONG AND CORE OF MY CHILDHOOD... SPENDING MY TIME TO REMEMBER EVERY NOTE OF THIS SONG FOR MUSIC CLASS) SUDDENLY PICKED AS HER IDLE BUBBLE SPEECH?!??! THAT'S SO COOL??!?!?!?!

And even though the version is different (esp. the whole lines), it's still recognizable.... and kinda sad too if we correlate the certain lyrics to Harry's condition. I'll try my best to translate them in EN.

In original lyrics (the local folk music book & school taught me), the whole song goes like this:

First verse:

Soleram, soleram Soleram, anak yang manis (Soleram, the sweet child) Anak manis janganlah dicium sayang (One shouldn't kiss that sweet child) Kalau dicium merahlah pipinya (If you kissed them, their cheeks redden)

Second Verse -> This is where the lyrics kinda relevant to Harry Satu dua tiga dan empat (One, two, three, and four) Lima enam tujuh delapan (Five, six, seven, eight) Kalau tuan dapat kawan baru sayang (If dear mister found new friend)

Kawan lama, ditinggalkan jangan (Don't abandon/forget your old friend)

Oh... the fact that Harry lose his memory, forgot who he was and his partner Jean... even whole Precinct 41 and yet he and Kim met, the other half-brother from Precinct 57 and established the funny camaraderie you'd ever seen in detective rpg game....

I'm not sure what "soleram" means (I'm not from area where this song is originated), but finding a character who just sings this song brought a smile to my face while I'm busy ratatouill-ing & frolicking with Harry & Kim in new area lol...

P.S. If you are curious to how the song sounds like,,,, I present you Indonesia folk song medley from Hololive ID hehehehe ("Soleram" starts from 5:37)

it's a major honour just to be on this list - MICHAEL ROSEN???! HELL YEAH??!

Amnesty named me People’s Human Rights Champion for exposing a scandal in British healthcare. My team and I found abuse, neglect, conversion therapy, and deaths, all ignored by NHS managers.

This was a group effort. Thanks to the crew, fact-checkers, lawyers, journalists, and the team at Nebula who helped bring this scandal to light. And to my friend Jess O'Thompson from the Good Law Project for collecting the award on my behalf!

*doom music starts to play* I actually kindof like scheduling these kinds of appointments now...

but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu

I made this transparent PNG the night he died in preparation for one of the many ways I was going to memorialize him--a surface rug in his likeness that I planned on laying directly in the line of his favourite sunbeam. And I uploaded that PNG here, because this is the website where people post their cats.

I was not expecting the reception I got. Many people have pointed out that this post has more reblogs than likes, and how insane that is in 2025 when reblog culture is at an all time low. I didn't even talk about the fact that Burger passed away in the original post, it wasn't a tearjerker reblog bait or anything like that. People just loved Burger that much, in the same way I fell in love with him at first sight. He was such an ugly kitten.

Anyways, it's really special to me that so many people have reblogged my best friend. I made this PNG to memorialize him in a completely different way, and you all wound up doing just that in ways I never even imagined.

Thank you. Wherever he is, I know the sun is shining.
