This is a very old Islamic tradition, still alive in parts of Turkey. When a white blanket of snow covers everything - people go to the tops of mountains peaks and scatter seeds and food for the birds through the snowing season so as not to let the birds die of starvation. This deed was started by the Muslim caliph Umar bin Abdul Aziz and is narrated in various books of history and quoted as “Go and spread seeds on the tops of mountains - may the birds not die of starvation in a Muslim country.”

Okay, my sweet pampers. A new historical comedy just dropped. I KNOW it's not supposed to be historically accurate and it annoys me when common historical realities are presented as the most absurd thing compared to the modern world, but I can say that after the first episode I'm enjoying it a lot.

The people originally partly descended from Bamberg, Germany and moved to Greater Poland (Wielkopolska) in the surrounding villages of Poznań.

The villages unfortunately got destroyed during the Great Northern War, now their history remains in Poznań❤️

“[Costume designer Walter Plunkett’s] attention to details from the novel was exacting. Because Scarlett marries Charles Hamilton in haste and wears her mother’s wedding gown, Plunkett designed the gown to look about twenty years older than the gowns of 1861. Moreover, he first made the costume on the dress form of actress Barbara O'Neil (Ellen O'Hara) and then altered it to fit Vivien Leigh.” – Atlanta History: A Journal of Georgia and the South, Winter 1992

i've been trying to ignore this bullshit but i can't anymore and to say im fucking pissed would be an understatement. because i just got off the phone with my upset mother who can't believe what kind of a world her young daughters have to live in.

so for the past idk how many months now, on the first saturday of every month a group of men has been protesting by kneeling and praying for the return of tRaDiTioNal values in croatia, first only in zagreb but today in 10 towns across the country. the praying sessions are organised by a group called "Be Manly" (???) promoted by the ultracatholic retards from a group called Vigilare, who apparently got the idea from their ultracatholic retarded polish counterparts, Ordo Iuris. (the ones behind poland's abortion ban.)

i didnt find the english translation of the braindead kneelers' "wishes" but i really want people to see this. so the "manly" men are praying for the following:

For the homeland, peace and the conversion of the croatian people

2. For men - to become the spiritual authority of the family who will bravely profess and spread the catholic faith

3. For a life of premarital purity, for modesty in dressing and behaviour and the renewal of catholic marriages

4. For the end of abortion and the openess of marital couples towards life (whatever the fuck that means)

5. for authentic and uncompromising church shepherds and new spiritual callings

6. For the souls in the purgatory

7. for personal intentions

and even though these requests may not seem dangerous on their own, the people behind them and these protests definitely are - poland is the best example of just how far things can go. what these people say when they are interviewed is disguisting and i cannot believe that you can hear stuff like this in a european country in the year 2023. pater Božidar Nagy claimed that women should think about not provoking men with their clothing and that muslim women covering themselves is a good thing. and i don't know what kind of women pater has been looking at but i don't see them walking around half-naked. i have a lot more to say on the matter but i need to calm down first...
