It's nice to sit on the beach with nice weather like this during the noon. I took this photo when my friends from Manado Dinding Community and I were surveying a place to be used as a summer camp location in late July 2025.
Manado Tua Island at noon. It is a volcanic island in the Celebes Sea off the northeast coast of Sulawesi Island. The island is located in Bunaken National Park, a marine park. You can see a small fishing boat near the horizon in this photo.
Twinkle was a quite underrated British singer in the 1960s.
If you want to see the legal status of sex work, you can see the map here: https://www.nswp.org/sex-work-laws-map This map is very comprehensive in mapping the legal status of sex work
Sex work is first and foremost and income-generating activity that encompasses diverse workplaces and working arrangements. This work exists all over the world and throughout history. They have to be criminalised, protected and regulated.
Sex workers, like many other workers in informal sectors, are often excluded from social protection systems like safe works conditions, maximum work hours and minimum wages. The criminalisation of sex work and failure to recognise this as work make them excluded and it results in the systematic violation of their human rights.
Happy International Sex Workers' Day, 2 June, 2025. Today marks 50 years of this celebration. The Global Network of Sex Work Projects (NSWP), as the international organisation that advocates the health and human rights of sex workers, currently have 369 members (local sex workers organisation) in 111 countries.
Happy Pride Month, June 2025, for all my queer friends!

Hopefully, if one day Israel recognizes sovereignty of Palestine and then Indonesia recognizes sovereignty of Israel, I hope that can change Indonesian people's sentiments towards Israel, which mostly bad.
Thank you to President Prabowo Subianto for giving a signal that Indonesia may establish diplomatic relations with the Israel only if Israel recognizes sovereignty of Palestine. Of course this is quite controversial but it is the only way.
I will change the name of my main Facebook account (this one) from "Sofia Rina" to "Sofia Florina" on 1 June, 2025.
Ah, I'm lucky I never deleted all emails from Academia.edu, there are many valuable journals and papers that I haven't read yet.
Would you guys miss me if I didn't post anything?
