I love my friends and books and am a nerd for languages and their history. Also movies, photography, sports and Billie the Cat.

I just checked and the audiobook really has been narrated by Grover Gardner! He seems to have been the go to reader for many epic American novels.

And for the people who do care, once a dictatorship is well on its way, it’s really hard to stand up to it. This is why it’s so important to stop it early, but that’s easier said than done. Not to excuse anyone who actively participated or agreed with the ideology wholeheartedly of course.

I wonder how many people didn’t fit into either category and were simply trying to get through daily life. It feels like the same thing is happening today - many seem to be shutting themselves off completely from both climate news and the rise of authoritarianism and the far right.

Have never heard of him tbh! That looks like a book that has been narrated by Grover Gardner.

I think blocking someone you know without any explanation crosses the line from self-care to unkindness. It leaves the other person stuck in their own head, trying to make sense of the silence.

This is more less the plot, It’s based on the novel by Caridad Bravo Adams (she wrote tons of telenovelas) and they just set it in the Atlantic coast of Mexico instead of in Martinique.

The story takes place in Martinique, starting in the late 1800s and ending with the 1902 volcanic eruption of Mt.
Pelee in St. Pierre. It describes the life in the Caribbean of a boy who grows up to be a pirate (while his half-brother goes to study in France), and the two sisters who fall in love with him.

It’s probably not for everyone (I mean, what is), but if you want to check it out, there are several versions, and the famous one is from 1993. It’s on YouTube. Also, give it a couple of episodes, it starts a bit slowly. youtu.be/96lYPu75sW8?...

And the movie really does have the better ending here.

Kind of shocked people have to pay for it in the UK though, it’s still free in Germany.

I’m having it right now and it’s absolutely terrible. I’d recommend getting the booster.

Watching hurling is incredibly calming.

First time I ever saw her was in The Fugitive Kind with Brando. Then, in the same week, The Secret of Santa Vittoria, one of the more hopeful anti-fascist movies. Not nearly enough of her Italian ones, though!

This scenario will only ever happen for me if Hiromi Kawakami wins the Nobel.

I like that people are taking back the frog.
