A String of Words, From Our Homeland
A String of Words, From Our Homeland Arum, a young high school girl from a small town, was known as a fluent wordsmith. She had a unique gift for weaving words that could touch the hearts of anyone who heard them. Since childhood, Arum had deeply loved her regional language, rich in meaning and local wisdom. This love was passed down from her parents and grandparents, who were traditional karawitan (gamelan) artists in their region. Traditional dance movements, the melodies of traditional kawih songs, and the sounds of gamelan filled Arum’s days, as her family owned a studio and performance hall used for training. It’s no wonder that the blood of traditional art flowed through Arum, including her love for the regional language that served as the medium for every cultural performance.

My Ideal Man
I rarely or if ever divulge details about my love life, but this story is perfect for me to do just that. It's been nearly six years since I was in a long-term relationship and at one point, was engaged to be married. Dating has drastically changed over the years, but as for me, I'm still looking for that special man to spend the rest of my life with. As someone who has Autism, it has been difficult for me find a man to date or be in a relationship with, because some assume that my disability is a burden to them. When they hear the word disability, they assume that they'll be taking care of me forever. Despite my disability, I have a job and live a regular life. So no, I'm NOT a burden. My expectations of finding an ideal partner aren't outrageous or unreasonable. Once you have finished reading this story, you'll know a little bit about the things I expect from a man.

Velma Was Always LGBT, Stop Pretending She's Not
When I called out a wave of cancellations of shows that featured massive amounts of representation of marginalized communities, one of the many things I said at that time was that there were two shows that I was the most fearful for: Chucky and Velma. I wish I could be wrong about something for a change. Sure enough, both shows had been cancelled since I wrote that piece. While the Chucky cancellation angered me more, I want to focus on Velma, because I've been sitting on this for many months.
