Butchering

Referenced nightmares, referenced therapy, referenced animal death [meat production], implied past trauma, an aro(?)ace’s poor understanding of romantic/sexual attraction

[Concurrent to The Mademoiselle]

Deitelbaum’s was a good place for East to start. It was usually quiet and slow paced, and Joshua - the manager - knew the Holloway Home well. Alister had been working there for months, and was more than happy to help train East. (It was only a matter of time before he moved on to a more permanent job - or at least, one he could pay his own rent with - and Joshua could use the extra hands.)

“Any questions about the slicer?”

“How often is it fully disinfected?” East had surprisingly good questions, as focused and serious as he was doing chores around the house. Alister was relieved Nate agreed it was time the guy got a job - he needed something to throw himself into other than dusting the common room or sorting the laundry.

“He always like this or just first day nerves?” Joshua happened to be there that morning, both to meet East and drop off meat fresh from the butcher. East was currently prepping the cutting boards, brow furrowed and eyes intense as he worked. Alister doubted he even heard them talking about him here at the front of the deli.

“You can see why Nate needed him out of the house - he’s just the same doing chores and stuff at home.” Tierney leaned against the counter, yawning. The sun wasn’t quite over the horizon yet - the deli would open soon, but they probably wouldn’t see customers for another hour or two.

“He’s a good worker.” Alister affirmed, taking a parcel of beef from Joshua. The older gentlemen looked…skeptical wasn’t the right word, perhaps politely concerned?

“Don’t let him over work himself - last thing we want is someone getting hurt.”

“We’ll keep an eye on him, don’t worry J.”

Joshua gave a long suffering look to Alister; Tierney wasn’t the pinnacle of professionalism, but he worked well with the customers. Alister sighed, glancing back at East - hair tied back and stuffed under a hairnet, gloves and apron spotless.

“I’ll let you know if there are any problems.”

—

East was a quick learner, which Alister was thankful for. He didn’t expect so many customers today - was there a holiday coming up he had forgotten? His second guess was that there was a wave of tourists passing through; he didn’t recognize many of the people in the deli.

Things were starting to calm down at the registers, enough that Alister considered stepping back to help East prepare the orders, when a new customer stepped up to the counter. Alister glanced at her and smiled, but his heart had already started to sink.

He had seen a few new immigrants come to the kosher deli, but Joshua usually handled their orders. So when the veiled older woman started to speak, Alister felt embarrassed guilt creep onto his face. He didn’t understand her - but he could tell she was pointing to the lamb behind the counter, and her tone was questioning. Both their frustrations were starting to rise when, to Alister’s surprise, he heard East’s soft rumble behind him.

“She’s asking how it was slaughtered.”

Alister nearly jumped, muttering a curse to himself. East was so quiet for such a large man, a silent shadow hovering over his shoulder.

“Oh. Uh - can - can you tell her it’s kosher, Joshua picks it up from the butcher.” Alister wouldn’t admit he was impressed by the sudden ease in East’s tone as he replied to the woman, the two having a brief back and forth. East’s face was uncharacteristically relaxed, tone almost confident - though, Alister couldn’t be sure, seeing as he didn’t understand the language.

“It’s halal too, right? No blood, killed clean?”

“Yes? Yes - I’ve seen them butcher sheep there.” Alister glanced back at he woman, embarrassment bleeding to curiosity. There were more and more Muslim immigrants with each passing year, but he should have guessed by her headwear she wasn’t Joshua’s usual foreign clientele.

Eventually it seemed East and the woman reached an agreement, and he translated her order to Alister before going to the back and preparing the meat. It was a bit later, during a lull when the shop was quiet, that Tierney dare broach the subject. It was their lunch break - the closed sign temporarily flipped while the three enjoyed a moment’s peace and some prepacked food in the store room.

“Why the hell didn’t you mention you were bilingual? Trying to get out of register work?” Tierney had wolfed down his lunch in minutes, idly waiting for the others to finish.

“Didn’t think it was relevant to cutting up meat.” East mumbled, eating his own sandwich in small bites as though savoring the blandness of ham and cheese.

“Where the hell’d you pick that up? You’re German, ain’t ya?”

“Work.” East stiffened, almost imperceptibly, but Alister could see his grip on the soft bread tighten.

“Right, soldier and stuff - damn. Figured you might know a few phrases and shit, not, like, be fluent.” Tierney rambled, but Alister quirked a brow at the revelation. Military certainly seemed to fit the way East carried himself. (And it could explain the nights Al lay awake praying that the poor bastard would sleep soundly for both their sake’s.)

“Nate never mentioned - ”

East cut him off, words clipped and cold.

“No. He didn’t.”

Alister winced at his tone, eyes flickering between East’s eyes and the floor. He didn’t seem angry, but he did seem agitated. On edge.

“Oh, sorry mate I didn’t mean to - “

“It’s fine. Just don’t like talking about it.”

The quiet that followed wasn’t the most uncomfortable silence Alister had sat through, but it was getting close.

“Thanks, by the way. For jumping in when you did. Worst thing when working the front is telling a customer no.” Alister sighed, cracking open a bottle of coke. Some tension seemed to bleed from East’s shoulders.

“No problem.”

—

A few days later, the woman was back, and East wasn’t there. (Alister almost regretted suggesting Nate find him a therapist - nightmares be damned he did not want to turn this sweet old lady away just because he couldn’t understand her.) But this time, she wasn’t alone.

There was a younger woman with her, and for a brief moment, Alister forgot his anxieties. He had known his fair share of beautiful women - he had childhood crushes, unreciprocated flirting, and a few short lived trysts. But he had to admit, this attraction was new. He couldn’t see the shape of her legs, hidden in the folds of a long black skirt, or the curve of her chest, hidden behind the thick plush of a winter coat. Ever her hair, wrapped and covered in a simple purple headscarf, was hidden from him.

And while he could see her soft lips, her dark eyes - that was not what enraptured him. It was her poise, the grace and confidence with which she carried herself. Like royalty, or a soldier leading the charge. He almost didn’t realize she was already standing at the register, speaking to him.

“Excuse me? Sorry, I’m not sure if you recognize her - my mother - “

“Yeah. The - the lamb the other day. I remember her.” Alister gave a shy smile to the older woman, who was muttering in her own language to her daughter. She glanced back at her mother, an embarrassed smile of her own creeping onto her face.

“Well, we just wanted to thank you - the lamb was amazing and she wanted to let you know she’ll be buying whatever meat she gets from here from now on.”

“Oh - oh it’s, it’s my job, ma’am - “

“Jasmine; my mother is Hanan.”

“Ah, well, nice to meet you both. Um, I’m Al.”

“So your name tag says.”

“Oh - right. Right, ah, well East - he was the one that helped, uh, translate between us - he’s not here today but I’ll be sure to pass it in to him. That you’re grateful.”

“We’d appreciate that.” Jasmine’s eyes were laughing at him, and Alister knew a blush was flushing his face pink. Why was he such a dunce all of a sudden?

Hanan whispered something to her daughter, and - he probably imagined it - but he swore Jasmine’s cheeks seemed to warm as her eyebrows shot up in surprise before she muttered a reply he didn’t understand.

“Well, um, we’ll take the same order as last time - please.”

“No problem, Tierney over there will ring you up and I’ll - I’ll get right to it.”

—

“You have no game. When was the last time you talked to a bird?”

“Can it, O’Hare.”

Iwa x stereotypical ca things but like as someone from ca

WELL. SINCE YOU ASKED.

iwa gets to uci in the summer so . . . he gets to feel the full blast of a southern california heatwave LMAO

his friends are GOBSMACKED when he tells them he's never seen a desert before. they promise to take him to joshua tree park or even all the way out to las vegas sometime

actually it'd just be hilarious for iwa to be like "hey why the FUCK do you guys have a desert called death valley" and everyone is just like "oh you know" [gestures vaguely]

also. the idea of iwa's uci friends going "oh man we absolutely HAVE to take you to little tokyo" is SO funny to me. iwa is like. "what. what the fuck is a little tokyo" and they drag him to that famous mochi shop and all the model kit hobby stores and iwa is like "OH MY GOD" bc of all their godzilla shit

and even though he makes a face at all the tacky souvenirs (seriously, who was actually going to buy a fake wooden katana for thirty dollars?), he has a lot of fun chatting with the older shop owners and learning about the tiny slices of asian-american history that california has to offer

man not to get dark but in that case. yeah they'd have to acknowledge the california internment camps and how NOT fun that would be to hear about if you're originally FROM that country. like. we talk about them a lot despite how little they're covered in our textbooks bc in ca there's a LOT of them. we had the most. i live right next to an old one. not something to be proud of.

fun fact for non-ca folk!! (and non-LA ca folk): there's an entire japanese-american museum in los angeles that covers the history of japanese-americans in california and also has a lot of info about what they went through during ww2. i would highly recommend checking it out if you're ever in town, especially if you're a type to claim to respect the culture just bc you consume the media. just saying.

(there's lots of small museums in ethnic enclaves all over LA!!)

also. the missions. the fucking missions. someone has to explain to iwa that the missions suck and yet we're all forced to learn about them like they weren't colonial figureheads of ca history and that they were just a fun place to teach the indigenous people of ca how to be "better". how fucked up was that oh my god

the squad takes iwa shopping. sounds boring, i know, but they go to the rich tourist places like the grove or the americana at brand. more fun fact time: every time i go there, i never shop. it's just to hang out and look around bc half the shops are name brands and the other half aren't my style LMAO. the only place i'm willing to spend money on is the farmer's market bc food or barnes & nobles

koreatown for kbbq. how could i leave that out. they go for kbbq and korean shaved ice and probably hit up karaoke after, too

(could they go karaoke in little tokyo? yeah. but ktown <3)

squad argues whether or not to take iwa up mount griffith and to the observatory. "parking sucks there - " "this is LA, where does parking NOT suck?" and honestly? better up there when it's warm at night in the summer than freezing your ass off in the winter, in my opinion. so they go, and they lean over the balcony and watch the city shine like a river of stars below, and iwa's never really been to the big cities at home all that much but it makes him a little heartsick all the same

hiking!! there are definitely some athletes in the squad. they take iwa to trails all over. is it a pain in the ass during summer? definitely. but it's fun and it's hard work and they even catch a rattlesnake in action once (true story from me LMAO)

no beverly hills. just. no.

FOOD TRUCKS FOOD TRUCKS FOOD TRUCKS. WE HAVE SO MANY OF THEM. you know how new york has like hot dogs and the halal guys? we have taco trucks. a lot of them. you can also find fruit stands, elote stands, grilled sausages, and and lots of others!!

not to give myself away but. the 626 night market. i'm from the og area where it started, so if you recognize that then honestly? kudos to you. it's spread out since to orange county, so irvine squad can definitely take iwa there.

okay, lesson time: 626 Night Market is an Asian-inspired night market and, no, it is NOT cultural appropriation bc it was started in an Asian-majority community with a focus on supporting Asian businesses. Anyone can apply to have a stand in it, though, and it's really expanded since the og days. Lots of Asian-American artists have performed here as well!!

speaking of performances - the raves. dear god. and the clubbing. and the music festivals. holy fuck. i'm getting a headache just thinking about it. idk why summer is like the prime time to hold all the shit that can get you dehydrated in 90+ degree weather, but that is a thing here. they drag iwa to a couple clubs, maybe one music festival bc that shit is expensive

also. the beaches. they probably take a trip to like . . . san diego or something and watch the sunrise. just for fun, they take iwa to la jolla and show him the sea lions.

BOBA EVERYWHERE. SO MUCH BOBA. it wasn't like that when i was younger, but i swear nowadays you're never more than ten minutes from a boba shop in any urban area of southern ca. uci squad probably has a fun time showing iwa all the different boba shops, and while they ARE regulars at some, it's really fun to explore, yknow?

god okay this was so much and i could write SO MUCH MORE. but i want to end with them finally taking iwa to joshua tree national park, and he's already stunned by how VAST the desert is, the sheer emptiness and flat sand and the scorching heat. it's nothing like miyagi, he thinks, nothing like the mountains that block out the sky and stand firm

and the stars. holy shit. iwa looks up at them and the only thing he wants is oikawa tooru to be right there with him. oikawa has always been on his mind the entire time, wherever iwa went. but this - this is when iwa realizes that love thrives even if you're miles away

#I STAYED UP LIKE AN HOUR AND A HALF WRITING THIS #JESUS FUCK #@any non californian who reads this please tell me if you googled every single time something you didn't know came up LMFAO #god if you can't tell that i both love and hate california then i did something wrong #home is such a fucked up place sometimes #iwaizumi hajime #oikawa tooru #uhh very minor:#iwaoi #haikyuu #haikyuu!!#haikyuu hcs #sou says stuff

Hummingbird- what are your muse's comfort objects, comfort foods, comfort objects, etc?

Comfort Objects: 1. Stuffed animals - dragon, cats, one plushie cowboy. 2. Clothing - a ratty t-shirt that says "TOP PUN" from Lena, a worn, ratty crocheted scarf that's been used for years from Ana. Various bits and pieces from friends over the years. His dog tags with his name, Gabriel's and Ana's. A broken tungsten ring from where he'd proposed to Vincent, kept after they split up.

3. His pictures- Jack has an entire album carried in the depths of his bag. It ranges from some of his childhood photos containing his sister and mother (his father's face is scratched out, violent and damaging.). They include Vincent and Joshua, faded dates and I love you's written in ballpoint ink. They include the Strike Team and Fareeha, happier times, and happier places. The most recent ones are candid photos of Ana and himself integrating into the populace of Egypt. They're older, worn- and a bit more tired. But he likes to think he can still find their young selves in old bodies. Comfort Foods:

1. Falafel- thanks to Ana, most halal foods are good for him. He likes to go meatless occasionally, especially when he's the move. Anything high protein works for him. 2. Tater Tot Casserole - a staple from the Morrison household from when he was a young boy before his mother died, and continued after as something the eldest Morrison child could make for his sister after school. 3. Vanilla Milkshakes- the first thing he bought himself after the Crisis, the taste of sugar and milk and cream after MRE's, and the high adrenaline from being on the battlefield made him break down crying at the counter. His therapist told him to find an anchor that would help during his panic attacks. This was the most non-combative.

Even now, he still associates the taste with relief. With safety. Comfort Scents:

1. Sandalwood - something his mother would light during the afternoons on Sundays after Church. It was their time, while his father was out doing errands, or working the field.

2. Peach Blossom - It's a scent he associated with his first real date after he joined the Army. The scent of magnolias after he'd been stationed in Georgia for training, the way peach blossom petals had carried on the wind down the thoroughfare in Savannah. He'd never thought he'd see something so trite be so beautiful.

3. Cinnamon - It isn't just about Gabriel, though he's associated with that scent too. It's the smell from Christmas when the entire Strike team would bed down in one busted ruin or another. Someone would produce hot chocolate, someone would have pilfered flour or other ruined supplies. Cookies would be made over an open fire. Milk spiced with powdered chocolate and cinnamon with a touch of kalua. It's a warm reminder, chasing the chill of loneliness from his bones on the worst of nights.

From Food Insecurity to Food Sovereignty: How UConn Students Can Mobilize Our Meal Plans

In March of 2020, the University of Connecticut’s United Student Government (USG) hosted the first ever “Husky Market,” a pop-up food pantry which distributed about $2000 worth of food to students who waited an hour in line in anticipation of getting food before it ran out. The funding for this food pantry came from USG’s budget “by essentially using student fee money in order to pay it directly back to the students (1).”

Was this story heartwarming, or dystopian? The price of college has become so astronomical that a significant number of students cannot regularly afford groceries. The student group USG decided to reallocate some of our student fees back to our own students, but this effort was limited. Even with plans to expand the Husky Market pantry in the future, this will always be a limited resource in terms of a true solution to student food insecurity.

The US Department of Health and Human Services defines food insecurity as “The disruption of food intake or eating patterns because of lack of money and other resources (2),” while the US Department of Agriculture categorizes food insecurity into two subgroups. The first category is low food security, defined as, “reports of reduced quality, variety, or desirability of diet. Little or no indication of reduced food intake.” The second category is very low food security, defined as; “Reports of multiple indications of disrupted eating patterns and reduced food intake (3).”

According to a recent student-led food insecurity research project at UConn:

“25% of respondents had faced worries within the past year that they would not have enough food to eat because of a lack of money or other resources.

45% of respondents were unable to eat healthy or nutritious food because they lacked resources.

30% of the survey respondents had to skip meals.

31% percent faced a time when they were hungry but did not eat because they did not have enough money.

Over 50% of respondents said that they would occasionally or frequently use a food pantry if there were one available on campus and they didn’t have enough food (4).”

So how do we put an end to food insecurity and hunger on our campus? Through efforts toward food justice. Food justice is not just about opening food pantries to provide immediate, yet short lived, relief from food insecurity. Food justice encompasses the food system as a whole, as well as all of the factors in our society that create, perpetuate, and are impacted by food insecurity. In the introduction to the book Food Justice Now! Joshua Sbicca describes food justice as:

“All ideas and practices that strive to eliminate oppression and challenge the structural drivers of all inequities within and beyond the food system. Food justice also advocates for the right to healthy food that is produced justly, recognizes diverse cultural foodways and historical traumas, and promotes equitable distribution of resources, democratic participation, and control over food systems (5).”

Is UConn creating food justice? In some ways, yes. For example, kosher and halal foods are offered in our dining halls, which is an important factor in providing our student body with culturally relevant food (6). On top of that, UConn has the Spring Valley garden, which employs student workers to grow and produce a small amount of the food offered in our dining halls (7). Furthermore, many of our dining halls are green restaurant certified, working to recycle food waste into fuel, using energy and water-efficient equipment, and donating leftover cafe items to local food kitchens (8). However, UConn as a whole still invests in fossil fuels, and though the school has announced plans to become carbon neutral by 2050, student groups like UConn’s chapter of Fridays for Future (FFF) have accused the administration of hypocrisy as the school has not committed to divesting from fossil fuels. These students feel that the University of Connecticut is not adequately addressing the climate crisis (9) (10). In an October 2019 letter to the UConn community, President Thomas Katsouleas stated that he has committed to, “working toward the governor’s goal of a 45% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 (11).” The language here is tricky. UConn’s president has committed to working toward the goal-- but has he committed to meeting that goal? This is one of the areas where FFF takes issue with the administration’s approach to climate action.

In short, UConn’s food system has some just aspects, but it leaves a lot to be desired. The sheer cost of meal plans on campus (residential meal plans cost an average of $6,012 per academic year (12)) is enough to assess that, no, UConn does not make food financially accessible and therefore is probably not living out a model of food justice.

UConn residents of suites and dorms are required to purchase expensive meal plans on top of their residential fees. All residential meal plans are unlimited, but only for the student who owns the meal plan. Students may swipe others into the dining halls using what are called “flex passes,” which come with all residential meal plans. The amount of flex passes on a student’s meal plan ranges from 35 to 75 swipes (12). Based on my own experiences and conversations with students, as well as anecdotal reports like this one, it seems that many students have dozens of unused flex passes by the end of the semester (13). Each semester, hundreds, if not thousands, of pre-paid meals in the form of flex passes go unprepared and uneaten, existing only as a number on a screen. So where is our money going? It’s not feeding us, and it’s not paying for the supply, production, or labor that goes into the meals, because those meals do not physically exist. Unused meal passes are common at colleges across the country. So common, that the organization Swipe Out Hunger partners with 120 college campuses across the country to hold “swipe drives,” where students are asked to donate their unused meal swipes to fellow students or local hunger relief organizations (14). UConn hosts “Give a Meal” programs, which tend to occur at dining halls one day out of the semester during a 3-hour meal window. Students are allowed to donate one of their flex passes to the cause, and for each flex pass, $2.50 is donated to local hunger relief organizations (13).

The money students pay for their meal plans far exceeds the amount that they elect to “donate” during these swipe drives, as a flex pass is valued at $7 (12). And although UConn students often have many leftover flex passes at the end of the semester, they are only allowed to donate one pass. It seems that more money is being made than resources are actually distributed. Can we trust the university with our resources? Will it be up to students to take control of where these resources are actually going? Should students pressure the university to donate the full value of unused flex passes to hunger organizations? How can we as students fight food insecurity effectively?

Food sovereignty group Nyeleni expands upon food justice principles of sustainability, health, and culturally appropriate food by asserting that food sovereignty is, “The right of peoples… to define their own food and agriculture systems.” Food sovereignty applies to indigenous people, laborers, and oppressed peoples globally (15). We can learn from and apply food sovereignty to our UConn student body and surrounding community, but it is important not to appropriate the movement from those it was created by and for. The principle of food sovereignty should guide us in our efforts toward food justice in our UConn community and beyond, fighting for the rights and the food security of the workers who grow and prepare our food. Students of color are especially vulnerable to food insecurity; poor, working class, trans and gender nonconforming students are all among minoritized student populations who report the highest incidence of food insecurity (16). The student workers’ movement Everyone Eats But UConn brought attention to these issues this past spring and summer when student workers were suspended without pay unexpectedly due to COVID-19. Through student testimonials, it also became clear how students with disabilities as well as students with disabled family members were especially impacted by abruptly losing their student employment incomes (17). Many of UConn’s student workers work in Dining Services and are a direct part of our campus’ food system, and they were some of the students who were most impacted by the shutting down of our dining halls (18). The students who are the most vulnerable are often the students who are the least protected by the institution.

It’s our job as a student body and university community to assert our demands, work toward food sovereignty, and protect one another, especially those of us who are most vulnerable. A lot of us are already sharing resources with one another without thinking much of it. It’s a commonplace for students without meal plans to find friends and classmates who can swipe them into dining halls via flex passes. While I was a commuter student, I relied on friends for swipes, and while I was a resident, I freely offered swipes to friends, classmates, and occasionally even strangers. If the university is not paying unused flex passes back to students, and is barely paying them forward, should we as students create a system to take care of each other, organizing a platform where we can quickly connect to other students in need of meal swipes and meet them at dining halls to swipe them in? Is this a way to take control of our own food sovereignty? If we redistribute our swipes to one another, so that no flex passes and meal swipes go unused each semester, we can make sure that the resources that are meant for our community actually benefit our community. The university should not be pocketing our cash while our community is hungry. Isn’t it our duty to “Protect Our Pack?”

Michigan: All the meat in Dearborn schools is now halal, i.e., sharia compliant... at taxpayer expense

You may not be concerned with McDonald’s India going full sharia as noted in our last post, but America is not far behind. Is your school openly, or stealthily, serving sharia to non-Muslims?

As announced on the Dearborn schools website:

Dearborn Public Schools is overhauling its school menu this year! Students are in for a more diverse menu, more options every day, more fresh produce, and more made-from-scratch meals.

Parents will see menus that are easier to find and understand – right down to being able to look up possible allergens and even carb counts online for every dish.

The changes come after the district hired Southwest Foodservice Excellence (SFE) to help oversee the food service program. The company has provided nutritionists and chefs to help transition the district to a program with a much more expansive and fresh from scratch menu, including training the District staff on how to cook these meals. In addition, SFE will help improve food service operational, procurement and financial tracking systems and reinforce nutritional and safety protocols. SFE works in 150 school districts around the country offering several employee management models. In Dearborn, District employees will continue to run and staff our kitchens, working in close partnership with SFE.

Students will see dramatic differences in this year’s menu, staring with more made from scratch meals, promised Joshua Bain, SFE senior general manager of food service.

...

All the meat served in Dearborn will now be halal. Before some schools offered all halal, while other had a mix, which contributed to confusion about which menu was being served at which school.

...

Last school year, Dearborn Public Schools began offering free lunch and breakfast to all kindergarten through 12th grade students across the district. The meals were provided through a special community qualification program offered through the U.S.D.A. school lunch program. Dearborn served 2,050,258 school lunches last school year, up from 1.8 million the previous year. Breakfasts increased to 684,049, up from 646,901 the previous year.

...

SFE’s fees, and all other food service costs, are paid for from meal sales and federal reimbursements. General fund dollars are not used for food service.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Considering a large number of Dearborn students receive “free” meals and whatever is not covered by meal sales is funded through “federal reimbursements,” the author can spin the source of funds any way he wants. However, the source of the funding is the federal government and the federal government derives its funding from U.S. taxpayers.

You, the U.S. taxpayer, are funding sharia law in the U.S.

Check the school’s online menu - we didn’t find any typical breakfast or lunch pork products like ham, bologna, salami or bacon - forbidden in Islam. See if you find any.

Crowdfunding Terrorism Through Islamic Halal Food Certifications

To add on to my bit about Erica and Joshua, I think that they were actually really compatible with each other and perfect on paper, so when things were going well they were going really well. Like they’d team up on assignments and in gym and stuff and were completely unstoppable. They probably practiced fighting together and snuck off campus to go on adventures/dates. But at the same time I can totally see him sometimes being manipulative or possessive of her. But because of his personality and the whole model student golden boy thing no one noticed how toxic he could be.

I absolutely agree with the first part, but I don't think they "teamed up" a ton, mostly because they would want to keep the relationship secret. Based on Murray's surprise that Joshua had a thing for Erica in SC, it doesn't seem like it was common knowledge, and this is a school where top secret government information in lunchtime gossip.

On the other hand, I don't think the relationship was all that toxic. Given that this was probably right around the time that Catherine and Alexander were getting a divorce, I feel like Erica would have been really on edge and wary about relationships, constantly looking out for red flags. I think what really sent the relationship on a downward spiral (if it had that at all prior to his death) was Joshua avoiding Erica and not talking to her as much because since she was such a good spy, she'd probably pick up on the fact that something was going on.

#it's just so much more interesting to me if it was an actual good relationship y'know?#i have a pretty solid idea of how the relationship played out #very little canon basis for everything in it #and could get refuted in sspx no problem #but it makes sense to me #spy school #erica hale #joshua halal #jerica

even wearing a veil that a family member wore in the past sequin dress for prom@^&*()

A veil is an important part of traditional wedding attire. It is one of the accessories that is often dropped in modern weddings, jsweddenladress20107 which makes it the perfect 'something old' to incorporate. Just by having a veil you are already drawing on a classical wedding tradition that has been around for generations. Give your veil even more meaning by purchasing one that's made with antique lace, from an era you admire, or even wearing a veil that a family member wore in the past sequin dress for prom. You can also style veil with some unique accessories like jewelry ?C so find some ideas and browse these jewelry pieces. I bought two identical white paper bags and filled one of them with all these items and passed it to her best friend (who happened to be an ex-colleague of mine) to hold on to, while I kept the other identical white paper bag. At the same time, Hanan was overseas for a modelling competition, and I was due to fly up with her parents to meet up with her once the competition was over. I brought one of the white paper bags, hidden in my luggage, overseas with me.

Joshua: Probably after everything had ended! In all honesty, Soh Fia and I achieved what we envisioned our wedding to be like ?C an event where we could mingle and meet with all our close friends and family in one same location. We were walking around the whole venue throughout the entire reception and wedding which shocked some people because they thought we were supposed to make a big march-in entrance royal wedding dresses. We preferred to maximised the time and catch up with everyone instead! However where is lalamira located, not all wedding or home Feng Shui taboos have truth in them, like the one on not wearing a pre-owned or secondhand wedding gown. 'It is okay to wear a pre-owned or secondhand wedding gown as long as you feel that it is the piece for you mother of the bride dresses that hide belly,' the team at Yuan Zhong Siu Feng Shui Consultancy reassures. 'After all, most brides choose to rent their gowns these days, which makes the gown they wear pre-owned anyway.' It's not enough to just choose the delicious dishes ?C you have to consider your guests' dietary restrictions too. A vegetarian aunt will not eat the best-tasting Wagyu beef in the world. Muslim guests will not touch non-halal food. Make sure you let your guests know that they can state their dietary restrictions when they RSVP. That way, you can arrange for alternative meals during your banquet.

Peipei: Whenever people ask us, we tell them that Keat proposed on our trip to Yogyakarta, Indonesia, last June. He basically took out the ring in our hotel room and popped the question. It was nothing fanciful. I said, 'Yes,' we took some photos, and we went to sleep immediately so that we could catch our morning flight the next day! THE LOOK: Feminine & functional winter wear! The one thing I dislike most about contemporary winter gear is that it loses the art of dressing like a lady red carpet prom dresses. My puffy jacket from LL Bean is great for winter at its worst, but nothing beats a classic belted swing coat with a fur collar and matching hat, as seen above!

Menjadi minoritas

Gue disini akan menulis pandangan gue sebagai minoritas di tengah kaum mayoritas. Karena tulisan ini akan terdengar sarkastik, ada baiknya buat lo yang punya sumbu pendek mendingan gak usah dilanjutin bacanya. (Gue yakin lo tetep aja baca sih, tulisan tadi mah cuma biar lo penasaran aja..) Tulisan gue ini sangat tidak bermaksud menyudutkan siapapun bahkan apapun. Gue sangat benci isu SARA (Lagipula masa iya minoritas menjelek-jelekkan mayoritas 🙄) Gue dari dulu gak peduli siapa Tuhan lo, agama lo, apakah lo LGBT. Gue bahkan gak peduli diteriakin CINA! SIPIT LO! Kenapa? Ya karena memang gue Cina, masa iya gue marah. Aneh aja. Sipit? Nyet coba lo pandang baik-baik mata gue, setidaknya gue belo lah (compare sama ernest prakasa) Gue selalu percaya pas lo mati nanti gak akan tuh ada yang bikin survey di atas, ''mas, agama sampeyan opo?', 'situ kok sipit? Pasti wong cino ini! Atau Hindu ya mas? Terus suku pedalaman? Wah minoritasnya double nih! Lah kalau kayak gitu malaikat pada diskriminatif amat. Semua gue temenin. Karena gue percaya, berteman sama perampok gak melulu menjadikan lo bagian dari mereka. Berteman sama cina gak berarti lo jadi cina (Bagian ini sebenernya bikin gue ketawa sih, biasanya temen gue yang sering ngobrol sama cina pasti terhanyut dengan cara kaum cina berbicara, Lo orang, dia orang.. iya gue orang kok bukan sebangsa mikroba) Gue akui gue kaum minoritas. Nyaman gak jadi minoritas di Indonesia? Gak tuh. Walaupun gue selalu terdengar seringkali mengejek beberapa ras (bahkan ras chinese sendiri), gue terkadang merasa gak nyaman jadi minoritas. Terlebih lagi kalau sudah bawa-bawa agama. Setahu gue, tertulis hampir di semua kitab suci bahwa Allah, Al Masih, Tuhan, Khalikah Raya siapapun nama Tuhan lo, beliau sangat tidak suka apapun yang berlebihan. Mungkin ada baiknya, teman-teman yang terus berkoar penuh emosi coba hidup sebagai minoritas. Hidup sebagai minoritas ada serunya juga kok. Belajar sabar - kalau tidak sabar, kami akan dimaki mungkin dipukuli di jalan. Belajar tahu diri - minoritas ya harus tahu diri, jangan belagu. Belajar bertahan hidup alias survive - Ada sebuah quote yang gue ingat tentang ini, Saat pilihan seorang manusia adalah bertahan hidup, maka ia mampu melakukan apapun. Belajar untuk ikhlas - dianggap sebelah mata? Gak masalah Dan beberapa hal lain. Coba lo sekarang bayangin apa jadinya lo sebagai kaum minoritas tiba2 pindah ke negara baru dan jadi kaum minoritas. Yakin lo merasa nyaman? Coba cari informasi sebanyak mungkin melalui smart phone lo deh. Banyak banget kisah sedih dan bikin emosi tentang kaum minoritas di luar sana. Jadiiiii, bagi gue selamanya jadi minoritas itu gak akan pernah enak. Emang lo pikir asik gitu lagi dengerin lagu favorit lo di jalan sambil nyanyi keras-keras ada yang teriak depan mobil lo, 'ganyang lah, bakar lah, bunuh lah ras ini, ras itu karena darahnya halal' Mau klakson nanti dibilang gak sopan, gak diklakson lo juga buru-buru. Mau nontonin mereka, gak ada seru-serunya nonton orang teriak-teriak mengenai kebencian Terus kalau sampe bikin mereka marah? Tinggal teriak deh, minoritas gak usah nyolot! Terus sebagai minoritas cuma bisa nunduk deh karena takut. Buset, ini tuh tahun berapa sih? Bar bar amat lo pade. Sebagian orang teriak bela NKRI berasaskan Pancasila. Lantas dengan teriak kayak gitu lo mewakili sila ke berapa? Coba baca sila ke 2, kemanusiaan yang adil dan beradab. Lantas mana letak adil dan beradab? Kita ini Indonesia! Bukan Cina, bukan Arab atau bahkan Amerika. Baca sila ke 3, persatuan Indonesia. Jadi ya stop saling menjatuhkan dalam bentuk apapun. Mengutip kata dari Joshua Suherman yang bagi gue sangat masuk akal, gue bersyukur menjadi minoritas. Mungkin kalau gue jadi mayoritas, gue juga akan jumawa. Ini mungkin ya. Lagipula, gue juga gak mau jadi mayoritas. Menjadi mayoritas itu menakutkan. Mayoritas yang baik haruslah bisa menjadi kakak bagi adik-adiknyabyang minoritas. Bersikap melindungi, menjadi panutan, adil, tegas, intelek, dsb. Bukan sebaliknya. Oleh karena itu gue gak mau jadi mayoritas. Gue bangga jadi Indonesia, cuma gue gak mau berlebihan. Orang-orang terdekat gue tahu gue selalu support brand local. Selalu ada tempat buat brand local dalam hidup gue. 90% baju gue made in Indonesia. Karena gue selalu suka kreasi anak bangsa. Kalau lo besar di era 90an lo pasti inget era dimana satu Indonesia rela pulang cepet, bolos kerja demi dukung timnas badminton yang waktu itu kebanyakan diisi Chinese. Tiba-tiba aja gitu kita bersatu dan bagi gue aneh. Aneh? Lah iya. Masa lo gak mau dukung karena mereka minoritas? Nyet, doi latihan tuh sampe muntah darah di siksa pelatihnya tanpa dipublikasikan media. Mendingan lo dukung aja, gak mau dukung karena mereka minoritas ya gak masalah. Lo tinggal pake baju timnas lawannya dan dukung mereka. Hidup tuh simple jangan malah dibikin ribet. Rajin amat bikin hidup ribet? Udahlah mari bersatu tanpa bawa-bawa ras, agama apapun itu yang notabene hanya akan merusak. Lagian apa sih yang lo dapet kalau sampe benci ras tertentu? Naik gaji? Dapet tiket terbang ke Amerika? Kagak bakalan. Lantas ngapain ngerepotin diri sendiri? Terlintas di benak gue quote dari seorang motivator kece bernama Dale Carnegie When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity. Salam, Gue Indonesia

In the Trump era, one U.S. Muslim investor tries a louder voice

By Ross Kerber | BOSTON

Shareholder activism is rare in Islamic finance, but one wealth manager has staked out new territory as the most outspoken voice among Muslim investors in the United States.

Working from an office in Falls Church, Virginia, Bashar Qasem was the only Islamic financial representative among religious shareholder advocates who sent a letter in February to protest U.S. President Donald Trump’s travel ban.

It was only one of a number of such moves since 2015, when Qasem’s Azzad Asset Management firm started weighing in on issues like worker safety, climate change and lobbying disclosures.

This direct advocacy will test whether many U.S. Muslim investors will support the sort of faith-based shareholder activism common among other religious groups even as many cite safety concerns or have experienced bullying.

Qasem said his clients seemed to welcome his growing public role. Most are Muslim, and about half are immigrants. “Most of them, they feel it’s about time,” said Qasem, who grew up in Jordan, moved to the United States in 1987 and became a citizen in 1996.

So far Qasem’s strategy appears to be helping to differentiate his firm at a time when the popularity of cheaper index-tracking products is rising.

Azzad’s assets increased 11 percent in 2016 to $487 million at year-end. Growth included $5.7 million into the firm’s mutual funds, the third consecutive year of inflows.

By contrast, the Amana family of mutual funds, which Morningstar says is the largest in U.S. Islamic finance at $2.9 billion of assets, has had three years of investor withdrawals, which it blames partly on the rise of passively managed products.

Laila El-Haddad, who writes about food and Palestinian politics, said Qasem’s outspokenness helped draw her to his firm. “Given the choices between two Islamic investment companies,” she said, “we would definitely opt for the one taking this approach.”

TESTING INVESTORS’ FAITH

Funds involved in Islamic finance are sometimes classified as “Sharia-compliant,” or adhering to religious precepts such as avoiding investments in alcoholic beverage companies and businesses making or receiving interest payments.

Qasem said he preferred the term “Halal investing,” referring to the Arabic word for “permitted” investments.

Islamic finance assets stood at $2 trillion worldwide in 2015, up from $1.7 trillion in 2012, according to the latest Thomson Reuters data.

The much smaller $4.6 billion U.S. Islamic finance sector, however, has grown little in recent years. Only a few institutions, mostly community banks, have significant Islamic lending practices.

Ibrahim Warde, an adjunct professor at Tufts University’s Fletcher School, said the slow growth reflected both U.S. regulations that make some Islamic products difficult to offer and some Muslim financial executives’ desire to avoid drawing attention, given the public mood.

“There’s this question of keeping a low profile,” he said.

Sheraz Iftikhar, managing partner of New York wealth manager Arch Global Advisors, said his clients, who are mainly Muslim, had not changed their investment strategies lately.

“It’s too early to see a change in Muslim investor sentiment,” said Iftikhar.

Typical of Qasem’s recent efforts is a measure that Azzad co-filed in January, calling on Google parent Alphabet Inc to adopt “Holy Land Principles” that would lead U.S. companies doing business is Israel to hire more Palestinian Arabs.

Azzad spokesman Joshua Brockwell said Alphabet told the firm it would hold a vote on the measure at its annual meeting.

Azzad has also co-filed a shareholder resolution calling on Exxon Mobil Corp to disclose more about its spending on lobbying. Brockwell said the oil company would probably oppose the measure, as it did last year.

Spokesmen for Alphabet and Exxon declined to comment.

In addition, Qasem signed on to a Feb. 1 letter from the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility and other groups, urging business leaders to use an upcoming meeting with Trump to speak out against his ban on travelers from a number of Muslim-majority nations. Courts have since blocked the restrictions, and the U.S. Justice Department has appealed the rulings.

While the ban jarred Qasem and some of his clients, he expressed optimism about U.S. economic growth prospects, given Trump’s agenda of tax cuts and infrastructure investments. Higher interest rates could also help Azzad’s holdings in low-debt companies, he said.

“After all,” Qasem said of Trump, “he’s a businessman.”

The Fall 2017 Restaurant Opening Guide: Boston Proper

It was a delicious season

Fall 2017 was an exciting season in the Boston dining scene. There were many restaurant openings, including a number of expansions of well-loved local restaurants. Moody’s Delicatessen, for example, expanded from Waltham to Back Bay; Union Square’s Ebi Sushi got a Fenway sibling, Sushi Kappo; and Lolita Cocina & Tequila Bar expanded from Back Bay to Fort Point.

The season also included the expansions of a few high-profile out-of-towners, such as Portland’s Eventide Oyster Co., which got a sibling spot (with a slightly different concept) in Fenway; New York’s extraordinarily popular food cart and restaurant empire, the Halal Guys; and a massive New York-based music venue and restaurant with a focus on wine, City Winery.

Here’s the rundown on all of the fall 2017 restaurant openings in Boston proper, listed by neighborhood.

For fall 2017 openings in other nearby areas, consult the full index or jump directly to one of the following guides:

Greater Boston (including Brookline, Newton, Watertown, and more)

Cambridge and Somerville

North Shore (including Amesbury, Salem, and more)

MetroWest and Central Massachusetts (including Framingham, Worcester, and more)

This guide was initially published on August 23, 2017; it was updated periodically through the end of fall 2017, and the date of the most recent update appears above. Something missing? Email [email protected].

Jump to:

Allston

Wayne Earl Chinnock for Our Fathers Delicatessen

Food at Our Fathers Delicatessen, which opened in Lower Allston this fall.

Crepe & Ice Cream 89C

77 Harvard Ave., Allston, Boston

This dessert-focused shop serves Thai-style ice cream rolls, ice cream-filled crepes, bubble tea, and more. (There are also savory crepe options.) The name might refer to minus 89 degrees Celsius, the coldest recorded temperature on Earth (Antarctica, 1983). Opened: Late September 2017

Our Fathers Delicatessen

196 N. Harvard St., Lower Allston, Boston

This “modern Jewish deli inspired by old school tradition but firmly rooted in new school ways” comes from the group behind Franklin Cafe, Tasty Burger, and Citizen Public. It’s in the Continuum building in Lower Allston. One side is for takeout, while the other side is a restaurant and full bar — with nightly dinner until 1:30 a.m. There’s a lot of gin. Opened: December 12, 2017

Sushi Factory

140 Brighton Ave., Allston, Boston

In the longtime Redneck’s space — which, more recently, was briefly home to Kirin Teppanyaki & Wok — there’s now an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant from the owner of Hi B3ar Ice Cream Roll nearby. Opened: Mid-November 2017

Back Bay

Provided

A spread of food at Dig Inn, which expanded to the Prudential Center this fall.

Citrus & Salt

142 Berkeley St., Back Bay, Boston

Jason Santos has turned Back Bay Harry’s into more of a sibling of one of his other restaurants, Buttermilk & Bourbon — but where Buttermilk & Bourbon focuses on New Orleans-inspired cuisine, Citrus & Salt takes its cues from coastal Mexican. The Citrus & Salt menu features a number of similar items to Buttermilk & Bourbon, but with a South American twist. And there are Dole Whips — with optional rum. Opened: November 27, 2017

Dig Inn

800 Boylston St., Back Bay, Boston

Very close to its existing Back Bay location, this fast-casual New York chain with a penchant for local sourcing is now open inside the Prudential Center, serving customizable grain bowls and more. Opened: October 18, 2017

Moody’s Delicatessen & Provisions

500 Boylston St., Back Bay, Boston

Joshua Smith is expanding his meat empire in a few ways these days, including a Back Bay version of his popular Waltham deli. The new location is similar to the original, with the addition of some lighter options, such as grain bowls, avocado toast, bagels, and daily flatbread specials. Plus, he’s adding a couple of adjacent spots to his existing Waltham space. And a holiday season pop-up on Newbury Street. And a California location. Keep an eye on Moody’s; it’s going to be everywhere. Opened: December 11, 2017

Poke Bento and Beard Papa’s

827 Boylston St., Back Bay, Boston

In an unlikely partnership, a new poke spot has teamed up with Japan-based cream puff chain Beard Papa’s for a location that offers plenty of raw fish and sweet desserts. Opened: Early October 2017

Brighton

Facebook

A weekly special at the Somerville Flatbread Company location. The local chain expanded to Brighton this fall.

Flatbread Company

Boston Landing, 80 Guest St., Brighton, Boston

The Amesbury-based pizza chain expanded to Brighton’s new Boston Landing development for its 15th location, and like the Somerville and Salem locations, it has a candlepin bowling alley attached (seven lanes on the ground floor and two upstairs in an area rentable for private events). The restaurant features lots of local beer and spirits. Opened: November 19, 2017

Kohi Coffee Company

Boston Landing, 80 Guest St., Brighton, Boston

This Provincetown coffee shop has expanded to the new Boston Landing development in Brighton, just down the street from the aforementioned Flatbread Company. Opened: October 12, 2017

Purr Cat Cafe

167 Chestnut Hill Ave., Brighton, Boston

Boston’s first cat cafe. There were numerous delays in the opening process, and the young cafe’s social media presence was marred by drama, but owner Diane Kelly kept her promise to open the doors this fall. Currently, though, the cafe does not have a partnership with an adoption group, and Kelly does not have staff available to pick up food from area restaurants for patrons to eat at Purr. In its current form, Purr is a place where people can come and play with Kelly’s own cats for $15/hour. Opened: November 18, 2017

Charlestown

Facebook

Tangierino transformed into Madera 83 this fall.

Boston Juicing

283 Main St., Charlestown, Boston

Boston’s obsession with juice continues with a new shop in Charlestown that serves cold-pressed juices, smoothies, “healthy alternative snacks,” and teas. Opened: November 26, 2017

Madera 83 Tapas Bar and Kitchen

83 Main St., Charlestown, Boston

Tangierino has been reborn as a tapas bar (under the same ownership), with Townsman alum Matthew Leddy as chef. And yes, the hookah bar remains. Opened: October 12, 2017

Chinatown

Facebook

Kaisen don at Tora, now open in Chinatown.

Gong Cha

44 Harrison Ave., Chinatown, Boston

This is the first Massachusetts location for this Taiwan-based chain of tea shops, which serves a wide range of bubble teas and other beverages. Opened: November 2017

Tora Japanese Restaurant

20B Tyler St., Chinatown, Boston

Tora focuses on kaisen don (sashimi-topped rice bowls) but also serves poke bowls, soups, sushi, and more. Opened: November 16, 2017

Dorchester

Provided

Nonna’s pie at Zia Gianna, now open in Dorchester.

Zia Gianna Caffe and Bakery

1739 Dorchester Ave., Dorchester, Boston

With a focus on Sicilian cuisine, this Italian restaurant features espresso, Italian pastries and desserts, Sicilian street foods, sandwiches, and more. To start, Zia Gianna is open for breakfast and lunch, but ticketed dinner events are on the horizon. Opened: November 25, 2017

Downtown Boston

Facebook

A dish at Grainmaker, now open downtown.

Barracuda on the Fly

55 Bromfield St., Downtown Crossing, Boston

Barracuda Tavern’s food truck spinoff got a brick-and-mortar location in the former Pedro’s Tacos space, serving Key West-inspired seafood. It’s open for weekday lunch only. Opened: October 2, 2017

Casalinga

151 Hanover St., Haymarket, Boston

Taking over the location of the short-lived Lulu’s Kitchen, Casalinga features a massive pasta menu that includes 30 sauce options, plus pizza, sandwiches, and more. Opened: October 16, 2017

Dunkin’

147 Tremont St., Downtown Boston

Just...Dunkin’. One of the first and only local Dunkin’ Donuts to get rebranded as simply Dunkin’ for some reason. A similar location will open in Quincy in January. Opened: December 14, 2017

Golden Goose Cafe

65 Atlantic Ave., Waterfront/North End, Boston

Affiliated with Golden Goose Market nearby, this cafe serves breakfast and lunch and seats around three dozen. A seasonal patio could open at a later date. Opened: Early October 2017

Grainmaker

91 Summer St., Downtown Boston

This restaurant draws inspiration from Southeast Asian street food, serving a menu of warm grain bowls, salads, and “street signatures” and allowing customers to select a main protein and a variety of different flavor combinations. Owner Chris Freeman hopes to open 10 locations in the Boston area in the next three or four years; this one is the first. Opened: October 2, 2017

The Popover Lady at Boston Public Market

100 Hanover St., Downtown Boston

This Melrose-based business now has a stall at Boston Public Market, serving up sweet and savory popovers (and popover sandwiches), along with scones, pies, and other baked goods. Opened: Late November 2017

Sweetgreen

225 Franklin St., Downtown Boston

Another location for the DC-based salad chain. Located in Post Office Square, this one is optimized for customers who order online or via the mobile app to be able to get in and out quickly. Opened: December 15, 2017

people in the SS universe, sry that was vague -t1sb

so I think the way it's going to get handled (because it will be handled, mark my words), is he'll show up at the end of a chapter and in the next chapter Ben will say something like "I thought you were dead," and Joshua will say something along the lines of, "You also thought I was dead when I fell into a put in West Virginia, and then I wasn't dead. You have a poor track record when it comes to these things."

As far as how it's actually going to get handled, I don't think people are going to have much of an emotional reaction to it beyond annoyance and general fear, because they didn't have much of an emotional connection to Joshua. I also don't think Erica's reaction is going to get covered much, but I could be wrong, but it did hit Ben in SSGS that Erica and Joshua had actually known each other, so there is a chance that it could get covered since Mr. Gibbs seems to have considered it at least a little bit.

The best way I think it could get handled while keeping everything still in Ben's POV (or, at least, how I would handle it) is Joshua shows up, Erica finds out, and gets a little bit more distant. Ben doesn't realize right away because the mission has them split up (due to the more road trip/on the road nature that the book summary seems to present), but he does notice. It hits him again that Joshua and Erica had something, and he has no idea what it actually is. Erica seems a little bit distracted and off her game (not by a lot, but Ben's been on enough missions with her to know what it looks like). I feel like they should get into a fight somehow and Ben mentions how weird Erica’s been acting since Joshua showed up again (again, it was just a little bit, but Ben knows her well enough by now to notice) and is a little stressed because assassins are after him and says something like “sorry you’re upset your ex is back in town but you need to have your head in the game” and Erica’s like “maybe there are thing that you don’t know about, have you considered that,” and Ben’s like, “yes I have considered that, but have you considered that you never tell me anything! Sometimes I feel like I barely know you!” (kind of have it a running theme that Erica does have a life outside of being a really talented spy, and that she doesn’t like talking about it). The argument stops there for whatever reason, and then when emotions aren’t running as hot anymore, they talk about and Erica gives the backstory between her and Joshua (giving us some firm canon answers) (and not because Ben makes her or anything, but because she’s dying to be able to talk to someone who might understand, and Ben might be her best bet). Anyway, it’s a very sweet moment, and Ben gets very angry inside and Joshua.

#ginger answers #erica hale #ben ripley #joshua halal #spy school #anyway i have decided to commit that Joshua will return #and either i'm going to look really dumb or really smart #we'll see come september

Venezia 76: annunciato il programma della 34° Settimana Internazionale della Critica

Nuovo post su italianaradio https://www.italianaradio.it/index.php/venezia-76-annunciato-il-programma-della-34-settimana-internazionale-della-critica/

Venezia 76: annunciato il programma della 34° Settimana Internazionale della Critica

I titoli selezionati dalla commissione (presieduta dal Delegato Generale della SIC Giona Nazzaro e composta da Paola Casella, Simone Emiliani, Beatrice Fiorentino e Roberto Manassero) sono i seguenti: Jeedar El Sot / All This Victory, thriller storico/politico ambientato in Libano, con risvolti visionari; Partenonas / Parthenon, primo film di fiction del documentarista lituano Mantas Kvedaravičius; El Principe / The Prince diretto da Sebastian Muñoz, melodramma ambientato in un carcere, nel Cile di Salvador Allende, con protagonista Alfredo Castro, frequente collaboratore di Pablo Larraín (che potrebbe invece presentarsi nel concorso di Venezia 76); Psykosia / Psychosia di Marie Grahtø, un progetto particolarmente interessante, descritto come una via di mezzo tra Dario Argento e Lars von Trier, un elogio della follia; Rare Beasts, esordio alla regia di Billie Piper (Penny Dreadful, Doctor Who), una commedia acida e graffiante; Sayidat Al Bahr / Scales di Shahad Ameen, fiaba dai toni feroci per una giovane regista saudita; l’italiano Tony Driver di Ascanio Petrini, del quale si dice: “commedia all’italiana decostruita, amara e impossibile, fuori norma, per parafrasare Adriano Aprà, impossibile da classificare e sull’assurda inutilità delle frontiere”.

Oltre al concorso, sono stati presentati anche gli eventi speciali, con Bombay Rose di Gitanjali Rao, che sarà il film di apertura, un prodotto di animazione artigianale da segnare immediatamente nel programma personale del festival. A chiudere invece c’è Sanctorum di Joshua Gil, che declina il linguaggio di Narcos in chiave metafisica.

La selezione si presenta ricca non solo per provenienza delle opere stesse, ma anche per quello che riguarda i temi e i generi, così come sottolinea Giona Nazzaro: “I film scelti sono opere libere. Lavori capaci di mettere in discussione lo stato delle cose. Vengono da luoghi specifici, per andare incontro al mondo: India, Iraq, Libano, Lituania, Messico, Cile, Regno Unito, Danimarca, Italia. Non sono prodotti audiovisivi interscambiabili con infiniti altri. Una selezione di film che s’affaccia volentieri sul fantastico, ibridandosi con il thriller, il fantasy e l’animazione.”

Ecco il programma completo:

CONCORSO

JEEDAR EL SOT | ALL THIS VICTORY di Ahmad Ghossein Libano, Francia, Qatar PARTENONAS | PARTHENON di Mantas Kvedaravičius Lituania, Ucraina, Francia EL PRINCIPE | THE PRINCE di Sebastian Muñoz Cile, Argentina, Belgio PSYKOSIA | PSYCHOSIA di Marie Grahtø Danimarca, Finlandia RARE BEASTS di Billie Piper Regno Unito SAYIDAT AL BAHR | SCALES di Shahad Ameen Emirati Arabi Uniti, Iraq, Arabia Saudita TONY DRIVER di Ascanio Petrini Italia, Messico

EVENTI SPECIALI Film d’apertura BOMBAY ROSE di Gitanjali Rao Regno Unito, India, Francia Film di chiusura SANCTORUM di Joshua Gil Messico, Qatar, Repubblica Dominicana

LA SELEZIONE SIC@SIC 2019

CONCORSO AMATEUR di Simone Bozzelli FERINE di Andrea Corsini FOSCA di Maria Chiara Venturini MONOLOGUE di Lorenzo Landi, Michelangelo Mellony IL NOSTRO TEMPO di Veronica Spedicati LOS OCEANOS SON LOS VERDADEROS CONTINENTES di Tommaso Santambrogio VERONICA NON SA FUMARE di Chiara Marotta * EVENTI SPECIALI Cortometraggio d’apertura PASSATEMPO di Gianni Amelio Cortometraggio di chiusura DESTINO di Bonifacio Angius

Di seguito, invece, il bellissimo manifesto:

Christelle Halal, autrice della magnifica illustrazione, ha dichiarato: “La Settimana della Critica di Venezia è sempre stata una sezione che mette in luce i registi del futuro con un’enfasi sulla diversità. Volevo trasmettere con questa immagine quella sensazione di creazione senza vincoli di etichette, genere o nazionalità. Questi corpi galleggianti si dirigono verso una luce splendente, abbracciando un futuro più luminoso in cui tutte le barriere sono crollate”.

IDLES - GREAT [5.45] Are hamsters halal? Let us know in the comments.

Ashley John: "Great" reads exactly like the 15 spiraling texts I send to my best friend late at night every time the news cycle churns out something new to be mad about, even including the hollow shrug at hope to close it out. [2]

Joshua Minsoo Kim: Fires out the gate like something a la The Jesus Lizard but quickly opts for something more contained, building up tension until the very last second. The thick bass line and cyclical drums build a vortex that's fit for soundtracking a mosh pit, but it also resembles the headache-inducing frenzy that is life post-Brexit. There's much delight in the arrangement and mixing, but the sardonic lyrics are just as amusing. Of note is the rhyming of "hamster" with "hand sir" and the interpolation of David Cameron's "We're all in this together" remark. The latter concludes the song with a grievous reminder that while not everyone is ignorant, all of us are suffering for it. [5]

Alfred Soto: The bass growl is the star, the climax as rousing as it needs to be, the spelling not a hot trick. [6]

Ian Mathers: I've been known to be a little cynical about punk rock in recent years despite (because?) growing up on it and loving lots of it. Or maybe that's not quite it; maybe it's that lots of it seems to be pretty negative about the world and while I both get and respond to that, plenty of the genre seems mired in it in a way that just feels tiring to me. But Idles make me feel like that problem is more minor than I thought, because all it takes is a song or two (the even more posi "Danny Nedelko" in Idles' case) from a band that provides both the energetic rumble I want and the big, hopeful open heart I apparently need to make me feel like maybe this is the only thing I want to listen to for the rest of the week. Mind you, as the lyrics of "Great" make clear, that heart isn't to be confused with some sort of milquetoast, self-defeating tolerance of intolerance, but even when being cutting here something just feels different with Idles and it feels damn good. Listen to more jungle! [10]

Cédric Le Merrer: I guess I can get behind using the power of The Fall's Caterpillar track basslines to deliver I can't believe it's not brocialism sentiments -- seriously I've been assured Idles are sensitive feminist guys so let's all believe this for now. As far as this very obvious project goes, it is executed well enough. [6]

Tim de Reuse: A thrilling bassline ties together lines that occasionally cutting deep (A highlight that I will surely be appropriating: "The wombic charm of the union jack"). But chanting "G R E A T" letter-by-letter doesn't work as a lyrical device, and the celebratory IV - I chord progression of the chorus undermines the dry British disdain that the verses build so effectively. [5]

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: The beat that Talbot and Co. conjure up, an energetic, burbling thing driven by a faux-jungle bassline, is good enough to cover for the verses' pop-polisci. What doesn't need to be covered for is the eminently sincere anthemic stab of the chorus and the outro, which are as pure of a expression of musical hope as anything I've heard this year. [7]

Maxwell Cavaseno: You know The Fall aren't that Great and neither is this song to be fair, but I suppose points have to be awarded for emulating less thoroughly emulated boring bands when trying to make Big Statements about society. Unfortunately, you can take points away for being 1) Monotonous grinding masquerading as groove 2) tiresome snide sarcasm and 3) boastful self-celebratory booming choruses to show off one's being smarter than the chodes. If you were the kind of person who ever thought at some point in your life "Golly, I wish I could have Fucked Up back Stephen Colbert" but make sure it addressed UK Politics, then I have something for you. [1]

Taylor Alatorre: I'm sure most media consumers in Britain are as tired of reading about the causes of Brexit as Americans are of reading about the rise of Trump, so you'd think there wouldn't be much demand for the aural equivalent of a Jonathan Freedland column. There is a way to tackle broad political topics without being overbroad in scope, and it's not through sketching phantom avatars of working-class ignorance that can be knocked out in one rhetorical punch. The cleanest jab lands at the end, with a nod toward Britain's possible future as a low-wage Thatcherite reverie. That prospect alone is worthy of an entire concept album, not just a snappy couplet. [4]

Edward Okulicz: If this had a chorus that wasn't spelling, it might be an 7. And if it had come out just after Leave won, it might be an 8. I love how the song starts like it's been incompletely taped or dubbed from another source onto a tape and there are some good lines, slogans ruing the victory of other slogans, but I can't get past how these give way to something as banal as spelling out the word "great." Strictly as an observer from a colony, the UK seems like a deeply flawed institution, but they have some good pop songs, a history of protest and the bacon bap. So there's hope. [6]

Vikram Joseph: Thunderous freight-train bass and sloganeering choruses might not bring much new to the punk table, but Idles wring tension from the constant high-wire they walk between bile and wit. Their last single, "Danny Nedelko," positioned their eponymous British-Ukrainian pal as an immigrant everyman, reclaiming the echoes of the football terraces for left-wing activism. "Great" goes further, brazenly goading Brexiteers with the opening line "Blighty wants his country back," followed shortly afterwards with the glorious "Islam didn't eat your hamster." The chorus, and the through-gritted-teeth outro of "We're all in this together," are thick with sarcasm. Is it going to win anyone over? Of course not, but fuck it -- this is, as Idles' album title declares, an act of resistance. There's been a fixation on the need for the left to understand exactly why gammon-faced white septagenarians want to drag us back in time; Idles, thankfully, do not care. Let them have blue passports for the remaining ten years of their lives; let us, at the very least, have our vitriol. [8]

YahuSHA - SHA contains the Hebrew root, yaSHA, meaning Deliverance. THE MESSIAH'S NAME IS FOUND 216 TIMES IN THE TANAKH (Old Testament) Yahusha found 216 times: - YUD-HAY-UAU-SHIN-AYIN, rendered in the KJV as “JOSHUA” YahuSHA - SHA contains the Hebrew root, yaSHA, meaning Salvation or Deliverance. So, "Yahusha" is the only proven acceptable transliteration. The Son of YAHUAH, has His Father’s Name with a Shin and an Ayin added to the end.Shin means "Tooth" and Ayin means "Eye". So in the death of the Son, the law of an “Eye for an Eye, and a Tooth for a Tooth” is fulfilled. Making the true name of the Messiah/Savior, in Hebrew, His own language Yahusha pronounced (Yah-hoo-shah). The Name "Yahushua" is found 2 times in (Deuteronomy 3:21 and Judges 2:7), but in each case they are referencing the person named Yahusha that they are crying for help because of his death (one was Yahusha (Joshua) of Nun), so, this is why the "shua" was added to the end of the name. "SHUA" means "to Cry out for help", making Yahushua an incorrect transliteration for the Name of the Messiah! Strongs #7769 - shua. יהושע - YAHUSHA י Yud - Produces a "Ya" sound. In pictographic Hebrew, it is in the image of a hand reaching down, The actual Hebrew word “yud” means: “arm or hand, work, throw, or worship" ה Hay - A Hebrew vowel letter that produces the "Ah" sound, Image: Man with arms raised and is the shape of a window (in Heaven). Means: Look, Reveal, Breath ו Uau - As a Hebrew vowel letter it produces an "oo" (u) sound (like in #7307 Ruach). The Image of a arm reaching down through the window and means "nail", add, secure, or hook. The Uau is also the number 6, the number of man.(Yahusha came as the Son of Man) ש Shin - Produces the "sh" sound. Shin means "tooth, sharp, press, eat, two and symbolizes the Spirit, the Spiritual Fire, The Flaming Sword. ע Ayin - Silent without a vowel point, but indicates an "ah" sound at the end of"Yahusha". Ayin means "eye, watch, know, or shade. It signifies the Source and the Nothingness out of which everything has emanated. Hebrew names can be translated; they make a statement, like Yahusha = "YAHUAH is Salvation" or Deliverance. Halal Aryun shal Yahudah (Praise the Lion of Yahudah/Judah YAHU SHA=YAHUAH'S SERVANT = He Will Not Cry Out=(SHUA) Or Raise His Voice=YAHU SHA=Deliver YAHSHA YAHU=Isaiah=In Hebrew It Means YAHU/SHA=YAHU Saves=It Does Not Say (YAHSHUA/YAHUSHUA YAHU) YAHUCANNAN/JOHN 5:43 I Have Come in My Father's Name, and you Do Not Accept Me; but if Someone Else Comes in his own Name, you will Accept him. “YAHUSHA” WAS PROPHESIED In YASHA/YAHU/Isaiah 62:11 we find a most amazing statement, which properly understood can open our understanding, YASHA YAHU/Isaiah 62:11 reads, Behold, YAHUAH hath proclaimed to the end of the world, “Say ye to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, THE DELIVERANCE/Salvation come; behold His reward is with Him and His work before Him.’” “His” points back to Salvation and describes Salvation as a person. The Hebrew root word used here is yasha and means salvation, liberty, deliverance, free, to be safe, deliver. Therefore, YAHUAH Salvation, or YAHUSHA, was to come to set at liberty, deliver, free and cause to be safe, the daughter of Zion. YASHA YAHU/Isaiah 42:1 "Behold, My Servant, Whom I uphold; My Chosen One in whom My BEING Delights. I have put My RUACH Upon Him; He will Bring Forth Justice to the Nations. 2"He Will Not Cry Out or Raise His Voice, Nor Make His Voice Heard In The Street. MATHATHYAHU/Matthew 12:18-19 Behold MY Servant, whom I have Chosen; MY beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put MY RUACH on Him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles. 19 He shall not Strive, nor Cry; neither shall any man Hear HIS Voice in the Streets. YASHA YAHU/Isaiah=YAH Saves=YAH Delivers MATHATHYAHU/MATTHEW 1:21="She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name YAHUSHA, for He will Save/DELIVER His people from their sins." There is a Major Problem with any of the shua endings of the Savior’s Name. Shua (H-7769) is a term that means to scream or cry out. Although many feel that shua somehow means salvation; it does not. Sha(H-3467) is a primitive root (written as Yasha), and is the masculine form of shua. Sha means to make free, deliverer or Savior. Shua and Sha are truly enemies! Notice the names Al-yasha (ALISHA/Elisha the Prophet) and Al-yashua (Elishua son of DUUD/David). ALISHA/Elisha’s name means, “Alahym is Savior,” while Elishua means “Alahym of supplication.” As you can easily see, there are huge differences between shua and sha.Although the Strong’s Concordance lists sha as yasha, it is found throughout Scripture as an individual word for salvation. Shmu’al Byth/II Samuel 22:3 makes frequent use of the sha root. My Mighty One is my Rock, I take refuge in Him, He is my shield and the strength of my salvation (yasha). My High Tower and my refuge, my Savior (masha), from violence you do save (tasha) me. Dabarym/Deuteronomy-33:29 uses the sha root alone for salvation, opposed to yasha BARUKH are you Yashar’al/Israel! Who is like you? A people saved (sha) by YAHUAH, the shield of your help, and He who is the sword of your excellency! And your enemies are subdued for you, and you tread down their high places.There are hundreds of scriptures showing H# 3467 (sha) stands as an individuaL YAHUSHA (יהושע) vs. Yeshua (ישוע)Yeshua (the Aramaic Y’shua) is the alleged Jewish Messiah and can only be a real word in Modern Hebrew by way of Jewish influence of the language. Where does the Jewish Yeshua come from? Since we know the spelling of the Mashyach’s Name is yd ha uu shan ayn יהושע, what is the Hebrew spelling of Yeshua? The spelling of Yeshua is yd shan uu ayn ישועand is pronounced Ya-shua. Yashua/Yeshua doesnot contain the Yahu יהו portion of the Father’s Name (Yahuchanan/Matthew 5:43). Yashua (H-3442) only appears in the Hebrew text 29 times. The definition posed to us by H-3442 is ‘he will save,’ but I have already shown that the shua suffix does not mean salvation: it means to cry. The actual definition for Yashua/Yeshua is ‘he cries.’ The King James Bible renders Yashua/Yeshua as Jeshua and there is no reference in any of the Hebrew texts that this name was ever associated with Mashyach. The Jews pronounce ישועas Yeshua because, with their vowel pointed system, they assign an ‘e’ behind the yd to avoid the repetition of ‘Ya’. This in turn renders Ye opposed to Ya. Yashua/Yeshua came into existence after the Hebrews returned from captivity in Babylon, and obviously, the language had undergone a few changes. Azara/Ezra 2:1-2 introduced us to the name Yashua/Yeshua for the first time. Azara/Ezra 3:2 shows that Yahusha/Joshua the son of Yahutzdak’s name was now written and pronounced as Yashua/Yeshua. Though the pronunciation and written characters of Yahusha(Joshua’s Hebrew name) changed to Yashua/Yeshua during captivity by men, his name was given inits pure form (YAHUSHA) when the prophesy was foretold in ZakarYah/Zachariah 6: NO PROPHESY OF THE MASHYACH EVER INCLUDED THE BABYLONIAN SPELLING OF Yashua/Yeshua. There is no reason for us to take the name Yashua/Yeshua and apply it to anything dealing with YAHUSHA.YAHUSHA (יהושע) vs. Yahshua (יהשוע)Some refer to the Jewish Yashua/Yeshua as Yah-shua. Yahshua is spelled yd ha shan uu ayn יהשוע. The implication made here is that the Jewish Yashua/Yeshua should be pronounced as YAHshua because of the yd י, but the yd only makes the ‘Ya’ sound. We would need to apply ha ה to get יה ‘YAH’. Yahshuadoes not contain the Yahu יהו portion of the Father’s Name (Yahuchanan/John 5:43).The spelling of Yahshua יהשוע is not found anywhere in Scripture and does not exist in any Hebrew literature. If you can find the Hebrew spelling of Yahshua יהשוע, legitimately, in any ancient text: I offer you $1,000 and a public apology for teaching falsehoods. Every letter of the Hebrew language is essential for giving words life, Hebrew is a living language. When we breakdown the weird spelling of Yahshua, ha ה and shanש are back to back: הש (Hsh). In Hebrew, two consonants together would give a full sound. Ha and the shan הש would make hash, so at best Neh 8:17 And the entire assembly of those who had come back from the captivity made booths and sat under the booths, for since the days of Yeshua son of Nun until that day the children of Yisra’ĕl had not done so. And there was very great rejoicing. Yeshua son of Nun was Yehoshua son of Nun was Yahoshua son of Nun YASHA YAHU/Isaiah 42:2 English Standard Version He will Not Cry aloud or lift up His voice, or make it heard in the street; YASHA YAHU/Isaiah 42:2 New American Standard Bible "He will Not Cry out or raise His voice, Nor make His voice heard in the street. YASHA YAHU/Isaiah 42:2 King James Bible He shall Not Cry, nor lift up, nor cause HIS voice to be heard in the street (PLEASE DO NOT YOUR HOPE,TRUST, OR WORSHIP THE FALSE NAME Jesus Christ; IT'S OF THE DEVIL AND EVIL SPIRITS) "BARUK HABA BASHEM YAHUAH OUR ALAHYM" (BARUK ATAH YAHUAH OUR ALAHYM, THROUGH HIS YACHIYD YAHUSHA HAMASHYACH; FOREVERMORE...
