Does anyone have any recommendations for venues that have free live music in Helsinki in February? Like pubs where young people do gigs?

important ! In recent years especially this year I’ve noticed a lot that the internet language picked up so many Islamic phrases and, from a muslim perspective, it makes the internet a little more welcoming. the thing is, a lot of the time with Islamic phrases you have to be careful about when and where to say them they hold their own weight and demand their own respect so here is a list explaining each phrase and some notes about it.

In sha allah

It means “ If God wills “. Muslims say it because we’re unaware of what future holds it’s actually blasphemous to claim to know the future, so saying so means “ If it’s the will of god it will happen if not it won’t “ and you’d say it about future events. side note, it’s also a polite way of saying No. for example, someone asks you to do something and you say in sha allah. Technically you’re not saying yes or no, and if it’s not in god’s will it won’t happen.

Ma sha allah

It means “ this is what god intended “ and it’s a compliment. Saying so is like saying WOW! But it’s also kind of a prayer of protection? If I see someone with pretty hair I should say “ Ma sha allah your hair is very pretty “ the ma sha allah protects the person from the evil eye. By saying that I’m also saying I’m not jealous I’m genuinely enamored and I don’t wish any harm to go to it.

Astagfurullah

it means “ to god I repent “ or “ from god I seek forgiveness” it’s usually used when you make a mistake but people also use it when they see something bad or when they want to avoid saying something bad. Like once my card refused to work and I’d say that so I won’t say any curse words and to calm down my anger

wallah/wallahi

okay this one is important. This one shouldn’t be used so lightly. It means “ by god’s name “ and it’s basically swearing in Allah’s name. You are only supposed to say it if you genuinely mean what you’re saying. It’s such a heavy word that I only say it very rarely and if you say it and don’t follow up on what you said you have to fast for three days as repentance.

One more note is that with the name of Allah you should also be careful it’s not supposed to be written on papers that’ll get stepped on or lightly used in art because it also has its own weight it’s regarded heavily. Like even in home decorations it should be elevated and not overshadowed. If I have to throw away a paper I have to sit down and color over the name of Allah or burn the papers so it won’t get thrown in trash.

another note is that those phrases aren’t Muslim exclusive. Some Arab non-Muslims use them as well. This is only my explanation from a Muslim perspective.

Another another note is this is what I can remember at the moment but if you have additions or enquiries let me know

Kaixo!

Do you have any recommendations for Basque poems/literature about the civil war? It would (unfortunately) need to be in Spanish as I would like to base my essay for my Spanish Literature class off it (Spanish lit as in literature in Spanish).

Kaixo!

I could recommend you De Gernika a Nueva York pasando por Berlín, the story of the exiled first lehendakari or Basque president.

Also the diaries of José de Arteche - which I haven't read myself - collected first hand during the war were published in two books: El abrazo de los muertos and Diarios de un vasco en la posguerra.

I'm sorry I can't give you more resources, maybe some reader can help🙏

[bees-on-the-knees]

Thankyou so much!!

It took some time and research, but I finally tracked down and put together a playlist of the full soundtrack for Madagascar: The Musical! The actors and (maybe, I'm not entirely sure) some of the lines might be different in this playlist than in the current incarnation of the musical, but overall it should be largely the same (from what I can tell these versions of the tracks were from the 2011 incarnation titled "Madagascar: A Musical Adventure" and not the one from 2018 onwards titled "Madagascar: The Musical". Either way I listened to the whole soundtrack and it sounds like I remember it though).

I had the pleasure of seeing the musical last summer while it was on tour, and it was amazing! The songs are incredible, but even just listening to them doesn't do the play justice. The costuming and puppetry was stellar, and I only hope I can see it again someday. The musical is definitely a must-see for any Madagascar fan.

Madagascar: The Musical Soundtrack

Also if anyone has any questions about the musical let me know and I'll see if I can answer them!

[twilight-blossom]

I just did a quick perusal of the Coptic resources on this site, and it has all the resources I’ve personally found worthwhile and then some. These are resources that took me months, if not years, to discover and compile. I am thoroughly impressed. The other languages featured on the site are:

Akkadian

Arabic

Aramaic

Church Slavonic

Egyptian (hieroglyphics and Demotic)

Elamite

Ethiopic (Ge’ez)

Etruscan

Old Chinese

Old English

Ugaritic

For the love of all the gods, if you ever wanted to learn any of these languages, use this site.

Okay, this is pretty incredible. A 3D artist, consulting scholars and archaeologists, worked for a year and a half in Blender to create a reconstruction of pre-Columbian Tenochtitlán, complete with the surrounding landscape. It’s staggeringly beautiful, and—at least to me—gives a wonderful impression of the city as a place where people worked and lived and worshiped

Ok… opening paragraph Ch2 of INAO needs a teeeeeeny rewrite 😂

[stokesy55]

It's changed so minorly, it has zero effects on the story, but here we got for anyone who is interesting in two paragraphs of change and some insight into the 2019 CWC celebrations from Benny's book :P

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

I'll likely go into more detail in Ben's version because boyo it was a treat xD
