I'm trying not to block people. But there's only so many times I can go 'give people the benefit of the doubt' and then click their blog and what's literally the third or fourth post on their blogs? They talk about middle eastern people like savages who can't control their violent urges. And of course, more than half of them are Americans. After posing for 20 years, the masks that temporarily went up when anti-war activists criticised the American war in the Middle East are slipping, some of you never really believed brown people to be your equals did you? Get the fuck off my blog.

Magritte realizing and revelling in the chance to Be Useful while she and Raf are living on Cortes Island--by getting the necessary BC licenses and bagging a white tail deer.

She makes Raf come along because he needs to help her bring the animal home, and also he's the only one who knows how to drive.

And Raf, upon fully coming to terms with the fact that there is now a carcass strung up and being bled in his shed is just like "...is this just a Canadian thing? This is just a normal thing people do, here?" And Magritte's like "yah!! I was like...four years old the first time my dad took me hunting for partridge." And then talking for hours about her hunting adventures with her dad when she was growing up. It has only been 3 years since her last trip with her dad, before she had to move out of her parents house--so not that long, at all. Her dad made her get her PAL the autumn after her 18th birthday--which saved her the trouble of having to go through that process by herself prior to moving to Cortes Island, at least.

Raf has...mixed feelings about staring his dinner dead in the eye before seeing it on his plate...until he actually gets to taste it; at which point, he decides it fine actually.

On Saturday, Bidzina Ivanishvili, the founder of the governing Georgian Dream party, who built his fortune in banking, metals and real estate in Russia, said that the people of South Ossetia, which broke away from Georgia in the 1990s and expanded with Russian support in 2008, should receive an apology for the war that eventually broke out.

His comments at a rally in Gori, a town that was briefly occupied by Russian forces in 2008, were quickly condemned by pro-Western activists and the opposition. They also highlighted how Georgia’s relationship with the West has deteriorated over the past months.

On Monday, the United States announced that it had imposed sanctions against two Georgian officials and two activists associated with a pro-Russian political group that it said were involved in violent suppression of protests this year.[...]

In a statement, Mikheil Saakashvili, who was Georgia’s president at the time of the 2008 war [and Governor of the Odesa Oblast in Ukraine from May 2015 until November 2016, before being stripped of Ukrainian Citizenship], called Mr. Ivanishvili’s statement “an unprecedented betrayal” and “an insult to the memory of the heroes who sacrificed for our country.”

“He asked Georgians to apologize for the invader,” said Mr. Saakashvili, who is serving a six-year sentence in Georgia on charges related to abuse of power that he says were politically motivated.[...]

In 2009, an independent fact-finding mission set up by the European Union found that the war was initiated by “a sustained Georgian artillery attack” that was not “justifiable under international law” but that “much of the Russian military action went far beyond the reasonable limits of defense.” The report also accused all sides, including separatist formations, of violating international humanitarian law.[...]

Mr. Ivanishvili, who entered Georgian politics in the early 2010s, promised a “Nuremberg trial” against members of the United National Movement, a pro-Western party that was in power during the 2008 war, after parliamentary elections next month.

After the elections, he said, “all the perpetrators of the destruction of the Georgian-Ossetian brotherhood and coexistence will receive the strictest legal response.” He called the opposition “criminals” and “traitors” who “in 2008 burned our Ossetian sisters and brothers in flames.”

“We will definitely find strength in ourselves to apologize,” said Mr. Ivanishvili, who is officially an honorary chairman of the governing party, but who is widely believed to be its shadow leader.[...]

In May, defying large-scale protests, the Georgian government passed a law that aims to limit the influence of pro-Western nongovernmental groups and media outlets in the country.

I'm obsessed. His italian is really good.

His pronunciation of condiments and shapes of pasta IS PERFECT. He knows Amatriciana, which is strange. No one (non-italian people) mentions it when it comes to Italian dishes. He also uses the double t in spaghetti. For me, he can have honorary citizenship

By the way, he's so real: spaghetti all'amatriciana and gnocchi al pesto are insanely good.
