dibalik segala alasan seolah ada keterpisahkan hal yang publik dan yang personal. padahal hal personal dan hal yang publik harus berjalan pararel. kedua penting, keduanya pokok.

bahkan saya teringat dalil feminis

personal is political….

I wished it was!
I’ve been (subtly) trying to get the point forward for months now, so ..it has been a long wait. At least PMS only happens once a month.

Basically this was about me being ‘trapped’ in the wrong circle of bloggers.

@ all

Blogging politics, toxic negativity and its overall competitive nature. Beuh, cape ah! Life’s hard already, so why make it any harder?

Apakah blog saya sepi? Yes! Malah lebih parah sepinya, because I’ve stepped out of that I-rant-on-your-blog-you-rant-on-my-blog circle.

But I am happier. So tell me, what matters most in life?

However, please differentiate between traffic in Web 2.0 sense, and traffic in the communal sense. What I’m referring to is ‘traffic’ in a real life sense. Simply put, this is not me building a community just for the Journal. This is me finding communities that relate to the Journal’s content. When I say ’sepi’, it’s because I can’t find those that understand what it takes to write in THAT niche! Only very few people could understand how serious these subjects are. And how serious it could be for me, as a person with a real name, real life, out there.

Sheesh. The next thing I know, I’d be posting cooking recipes in my blog. Just for what people assume as traffic.

To make this easier to understand, please google the phrase: cyber activism. Cyber activism also has been using blogs as the media. Given the choice, cyber activists-to-be would prefer to be appreciated as cyber activists, rather than bloggers. Why? With all due respect, maybe because some content are just too damn heavy, too damn diplomatic, or too damn refined for (the majority of) bloggers.

As a matter of fact, why don’t Pesta Blogger create a new category of blogging: CYBER ACTIVISM? I bet there are great young bloggers out there that are also concerned with politics and social issues in the country or even internationally, right? And I am quite sure that these bloggers have better content and resources more than I do.

In addition, please note that activism is obviously not just a topic for female bloggers, it’s for the mass.

PS: About part-time bloggers. I’d like to clarify that the Journal is not a monetized blog. We don’t do AdSense tips or internet marketing niche in general. It has AdBrite banners (on pages, not posts) and one Amazon widget but only because they look cool.
Thanks before.
