Hi, I’m Wanda
Welcome! I’m Glad You’re Here.
I’m Wanda, a disabled Indonesian Muslim woman. I write about empire, faith, political theology, gender, disability, family, survival, and the systems that teach people to mistake obedience for peace.
My politics are not built around labels. They are rooted in my duties as a Muslim: amar makruf nahi munkar, enjoining good and forbidding evil. If I have to describe what that looks like in praxis, it may resemble what others know as anarcho-communism or anarcha-Islam, rooted in tawheed, justice, mercy, and refusal: refusal of empire, refusal of patriarchy, refusal of respectability, refusal of every system that demands women’s silence and obedience for peace.
Nobody is above me but Allah SWT; nobody is below me but the soil where my body will rest when the time comes.
I write. I build infrastructure. I coordinate mutual aid. I refuse to translate my existence into liberal comfort.
What I Do
- Write essays and analysis, mainly in English now, for self-protection as repression in my country keeps regressing toward the New Order era. My work covers trauma, Islam, gender, neurodivergence, and resistance, grounded in history, theory, and lived experience.
- Build and maintain mutual aid infrastructure: a hub archiving urgent campaigns and weekly checkpoints.
- Develop independent technical infrastructure: this website is federated via ActivityPub, and I built a custom bridge plugin when existing tools failed.
- Speak from the Global South without a Western gaze. I don’t centre imperial comfort, nor do I launder power as neutrality.
Mutual Aid as Practice, Not Charity
I coordinate the Mutual Aid Hub, a living archive of urgent campaigns shared through community networks. I run weekly Mutual Aid Checkpoints, currently rebuilding through decentralised platforms and newsletter-based organising. This work is not charity. It is survival infrastructure; it runs on solidarity, not donors.
To sustain it, covering living costs, healthcare, rent, and up to 25% redistributed to mutual aid, the community target is $500/week. Here’s how you can help me sustain this work:
- Pledge your support monthly through Liberapay, Ko-fi, Karyakarsa, or Patreon to help meet the $500 weekly goal.
- Donate directly through this page or through the other listed alternatives.
Technical Infrastructure
This site is federated via ActivityPub. You can follow @posts@wrzky.com from any Mastodon app or fediverse server.
I built this myself, including a custom bridge plugin when the original plugin failed. The site is not dependent on corporate social media. It is independent infrastructure for independent organising.
Where My Work Lives
- Website: Mutual aid amplification for now, while mutualaidspace.org is still under construction, Knowledge Hub archive, infrastructure updates, and long-form writing. Federated via @posts@wrzky.com.
- Patreon: Early access to essays, podcast series, and membership-based support.
- Fediverse: Bite-size commentary, prompts for longer essays, and mutual aid coordination. Find me at @wrzky@kolektiva.social.
- Threads: Previously active, now permanently banned for political content. The work continues elsewhere.
What You’ll Find Here
- Long-form essays on politics, political theology, neurodivergence, and decolonial feminism.
- Mutual aid roundups and infrastructure updates.
- Analysis that refuses to separate the personal from the political, spiritual, and theological.
- Art, poetry, and occasional chaos occupying my mind.
Podcast
On hold for now. It will return when capacity allows.

Framework
My work is grounded in anti-imperialism, anti-Orientalism, decolonial Islamic feminism, and mutual aid as liberation. I do not perform respectability for empire. I do not translate my existence into liberal comfort. I build. I write. I sustain. And I refuse to beg for permission to exist.
