Anyone else see this? Perhaps the most beautiful film I've ever seen. One woman plays most of the characters as both men and women so it relates in that way, but it's more bi than anything else.

Wow Aoife.  Just watched it on YT and it is one of the stranger one's I have seen in a while.

 

We were searching for a place of refuge for our love, but instead, the road led us to the land of the dead.

You abandoned us and went away, but we the living wrapped you in a coccoon so in your new world you would burst out like a butterfly.

 

That resonates with me, but I don't know why.

Wow, yeah, that's a good one. So cool you watched it! Totally unique language. I think finally seeing it really opened me up to this new place of acceptance.

I'm so happy for you!  That is so important in your journey of self awareness.

@Aoife I was very surprised to see your post about The Color of Pomegranates. Would you believe that was my favorite movie for a long time? I traveled to St. Petersburg, Russia in 2004 and while there learned about Georgian cuisine. Legend has it that when God was creating the world, he took a dinner break. While eating, He tripped over the Caucasus Mountains and some of His heavenly food fell to the ground that became Georgia. If you get the chance to dine on Georgian food, you may believe this is a true story! Anyway, I quickly became enamored with Georgian culture and my zest somehow led me to encounter the film The Color of Pomegranates (because Georgian is one of the languages spoken in the film). I acquired a copy on dvd and it was my background ambiance through most of grad school. I also made friends who appreciate art films watch it. I remember my favorite scene is where the men are folk dancing - I remember the music they danced to. Thanks for the memory - I love that film & I'm glad you enjoyed it too!

I'm so glad this has gotten the response it has! I have not had the chance to try much Georgian food, but it's one I really want. Every bit of Armenian cuisine I've had has been great, so that's a great start.

I'd love to try Armenian food. I bet it's amazing. Before I departed from Russia, I purchased two cookbooks and and have since spent many years enjoying cooking Georgian (and other Russian and Caucasian) recipes from them. (Lol, Caucasian cuisine sounds funny taken out of context.) 

 

Georgians evidently are known to break out in polyphonic singing. Please enjoy this video of some Georgian men singing in an airport. I also like how they show affection for one another. One of the men dances beautifully in the video too. https://youtu.be/i4rx8NF67vY

lol, at Trader Joe's they started selling Ajika powder and sometimes I want to bring it out just to "caucasian up" whatever I'm eating.

      Are VPNs banned?

      By Avra · Posted

      Ha, that's funny - I swear this is the one I used to use in high school to get around school blockers and play games. 😅🤦‍♀️   Though I'd be wary of using a free VPN today, if your only intent is bypassing censorship, I guess it works. Proton VPN also has a free tier with a limited selection of countries/servers. I feel more comfortable recommending them as they actively try to fight censorship with new evolving VPN protocols, and they protect your privacy. They are also directly funded by their paying customers. So there is really no downside to using their free tier over another free VPN that may not have the same goals/values.

      That sounds pretty accurate. I'm just glad I don't use Windows anymore, as I basically consider Windows itself a virus/malware. Backups can absolutely save you from some types of malware like ransomware. However it's ideal to just not get infected by having smart browsing habits. It's been said, and very accurately so, that the best antivirus is you - even the best antivirus isn't 100% accurate in detecting bad stuff, if you go out looking for that stuff or browse carelessly.   I guess if you don't care and/or don't have sensitive data on your PC, then that's fine I suppose. I personally care a lot - personal accounts, private messages, and even my very presence on this site aren't necessarily things I want to be public knowledge. 🤓🫠

      Yes he is. Sorry it has taken so long. One sick kid and the other has needed my attention more than usually.

      Appeals Court: State Health Ins Plans (Medicaid) Must Cover Trans Care

      Once again the Biden admin ignores Congress and issues a regulation that can be quickly changed. It would be much wiser if they worked a bill through Congress that became law.

      I think that is the camera on the floor. Of course the kids aren't picking up after themselves oh well. He sure is big for only being 6 months old.

      @Birdie @Adrianna Danielle    @Willow    Big news today. We're moving to WA. My wife is taking a job and I am most likely losing mine, so it's adventure time. I'm supposed to be a risk-seeker (Aries, ENTP, etc.) but this is hitting every klaxon and alarm in my brain, but it's going to make my wife and kids happy and it will be a place to make new friends as me without the 45 years of binary baggage. There are tech jobs all over Seattle, which we'll be near, and it's a decent State for trans rights (I don't know how it compares to MN, which is a refuge state). So wish us luck! This could be the best thing ever or rocky as hell, who knows!

      I know the feeling. I had to replace the dishwasher, fridge, stove. The only other issues that could pop up is the washer and dryer and the microwave oh I forgot the toaster.

      That's the hard part of online relationships, they really never get to see the whole you. You either have to create a persona that will carry the day until they get to see you for who you are, or be open and take the risk because it's really easy for them to disconnect because there is little to no bond.   You have to share pictures of your puppy! I am not a dog person, but I can appreciate them in jpg format! My kiddos would love to have a pet, but we're all allergic in some shape or form and my wife and I are like, "no." :D
