South-Eastern Poland, December, 1662 - three teenage girls of different faiths form a short-lived but memorable travel friendship

(from the left: a Tatar mercenary's sister, an Arian refugee and the daughter of a travelling Karaite Hakham. history notes under the cut)

the Arians, or Socinians, or as they called themselves, the Polish Brethren, were a radical branch of protestantism that constituted one of many religious minorities of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. their doctrine rejected many foundational Calvinist doctrines (such as predestination, divine nature of Christ, the trinity, etc) and preached principles of pacifism, separation of church and state, and equality between the genders. during the 1660s, when Poland-Lithuania was under attack by protestant Sweden, Arian men were banished from the country under threat of death - in 1662, the law was expanded to include Arian women, too. the Polish Brethren would not survive as a religious movement after exile.

Karaites are an ethnic and religious group of (most likely) Semitic origin, which have formed communities in Eastern Europe as far back as the 10th century. the Karaite faith split from Rabbinic Judaism probably around the 1st century bc. Karaims don't recognise Oral Law as legitimately binding and spiritual leaders/scholars, called Hakhams, have more of an advisory than authoritative role. Karaite communities in the Commonwealth suffered exceptionally heavy losses in the 1650s as a result of armed conflicts. today there are around 340 Karaites living in Poland and 200 or so in Lithuania, where the Karaim language is now used for liturgy, as opposed to the traditional Hebrew. despite the Karaite people Semitic origin, the Karaim language emerged in Crimea, from the Turkic language family, being derived from the now-extinct Kipchak - Karaim shares this origin with Tatar, Siberian Tatar and Crimean Tatar.

Tatar is an umbrella term for many different ethnic groups originating from 12th century Mongolia. Tatar settlers, polytheistic as well as Muslim, first came to Lithuania in the 14th century. as they started to be an integrated ethnic & religious minority of the Commonwealth, they came to be known as Lipka Tatars. their contribution to Polish-Lithuanian history mostly has to do with warfare, in which the conflicts of the 1600s are an important episode. today, there are 10-15 thousand Lipka Tatars in Poland, Lithuania and Belarus.

SUMMARY: Twin boys move to a new house with their mother after she has face-changing cosmetic surgery, but under the bandages is someone the boys don't recognize.

The mod has seen a few reviews of this and it looks really interesting but it’s just not something she’s gravitated towards compared to others on her watchlist.

let it be said i saw the unhinged ronaldo anon while actively seeing things that weren’t there in the dark. do you know how hysterical my giggles were. “oooo you’re pretending to be european oooo you don’t belong in football fan circles oooo im gonna call you a dumb bitch and a desperate whore don’t you feel bad about yourself” bro i was facing down the hat man’s shorter and weirder cousin. i was putting in contacts before 2am. i fully had a moment of panic in my sleeplessness that the sun wouldn’t come up today. i am infinitely untouchable on this day of all days

good afternoon. I went to work with four hours of sleep. My baba and I have couscous each friday as the best Jummah Moroccan tradition requires. But today ain't friday but I came home to best couscous ever made anyway bc my baba is the king of couscous and he always makes it to make me feel better. Now I'm in bed ready for my nap reading all these beautiful articles on how potter is the best manager in the world. and the most caring. But don't worry I'm Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.

spooky tuesday is a (now not so new!) podcast where we’re breaking down all of our favorite slashers, thrillers, monster movies and black comedies on the new scariest day of the week.

it's so unfair that we only celebrate mommies one day out of the whole year, so we here at spooky tuesday are taking the initiative to up the ante. this month, we're proud to present mommy issues may, a four-week slate of episodes dedicated both to mommies with issues and those who have issues with their mommies (because we're inclusive like that). and you know we had to start off strong, which is why we're covering goodnight mommy (2014) for our first episode. this austrian horror flick is from the same team that went on to make the lodge (2019), so you know it's going to be fucked, and it also features the ~spookiest~ thing of all: identical twins.

give spooky tuesday a listen on apple podcasts, spotify, iheart radio, or stitcher
