Circassian Day of Mourning (May 21)

On the day of the end of the Russian-Caucasian war of 1763–1864, on the day of memory and sorrow of the Circassians, we publish another album-manifesto from Jrpjej. In addition to music, the album is accompanied by a pdf-zine with our reflection on Circassian songs of the 20th century and their relevance today “Sefitse” is a line from the song “Quedzoqo Tole Tsiku.” In the Adyghe language, “se”…

I feel like there's a Zoom lecture in me, at least, on Historical Biases I Have To Explain At Length To People Nowadays. to name just a few:

Anti-Quaker sentiment

The fetishization of Adyghe/Cherkess/Circassian women

Opposition to left-handedness

That period when everyone thought lesbians were uptight stuffy prudes (or at least, "unmarried" women who were interested in social issues and intellectual pursuits, many of whom were in fact gay)

Her father is Tigrinyan, Tigrayan half Ciscaucasian, Circassian, Chechen and Georgian ꒰ Ciscaucasian ꒱ while her mother is Taiwanese.

She mainly has and comes from Ciscaucasian roots, on her Georgian side.

Some people don’t really believe that she is fully Tigrinyan, Tigrayan due to that side of the family having a LOT of Caucasian |  Ciscaucasian and Eurasian admixture, which doesn’t make them “True or Pure Africans”. ꒰ Some Highlander Ethiopian and Eritreans have an average of 50% Eurasian admixture, but her family has over 70% Eurasian admixture ꒱

She suffers for Oculocutaneous albinism type 2 or OCA2, where her skin color is a very pretty and light alabaster color, she can still tan but only lightly, as well as only making very light pigments.

She also suffers from Heterochromia ❪ all 3 types ❫ and Distichiasis, double rows or extra-long doll-like eyelashes.

She has a huge male fan base, with the majority or 99% of her fan base being male fans and within her fan base there is cult of attractive gay guys, guys, himbos | boytoys, gym bros and trophy husbands | boyfriends that are OBSESSED with her.

She only gains weight on her butt and chest and sometimes on her thighs with all the fat going in the right places but everything else is still skinny, she gains and loses weight pretty easily. That way when she gains weight, she still keeps her figure with it just being fuller think voluptuous.

Safina’s chest size has never stopped growing, ❪ big but perfect ❫ ever since she hit puberty and is still growing. But she has said that if it continues getting bigger to a point it's giving her back pain, she is going to have breast reduction surgery. 

Safina is known for being a sweet, compassionate and beautiful young girl but isn’t in any way very smart. A lot of people say what she lacks in smarts she makes up in her beauty and delightful personality.

Adyghe people traditional costume (Circassian men, women)

[max1461]

What *are* some crazy linguistics facts? The ones for which pretending it's just a normal feature of a language is coping?

Well there are some rare linguistic features, like for instance (claimed) presence of a voiceless bidental fricative in some dialects of Adyghe or the (claimed) OVS word order of Hixkaryana, but many of these are (1) actually somewhat complex or ambiguous in their attestation, and (2) only "crazy" to linguists who already know that they're rare. Like a priori there's no reason that a bidental fricative is crazy other than that is in fact very rare.

There are other things too, you know, sometimes a language will demonstrate some really ridiculous series of historical sound changes or something. But these are often even higher-context in their "craziness".

Language is frankly sort of boring unless you are a little bit autistic about it. People want to draw many social or philosophical or whatever conclusions from it, but the reality is that most facts about particular languages are incidental historical accidents with no broader implications (or, broader implications that come only in the form of providing evidence for ancient population movements or hinting at as-yet-indecipherable and therefore useless arcana of the human mind). But if you're into it it's really fun to learn about all the little intricacies. Gunpla type of academic field.

[dougielombax]

Just to be clear.

Insulting, mocking or belittling another people’s language is genuinely pathetic behaviour.

It helps nobody and only makes you look like a dick!

I’d know because I’ve seen no end of that shite from the DUP and other loyalist-adjacent morons.

Belittling, mocking and insulting the Irish language.

This obviously applies to all languages.

Whether it’s Tibetan, Irish, Welsh, Syriac, Ukrainian, Polish, Scottish Gaelic, Armenian, Tamil, Arabic, Māori, Romansh, Chuvash, Tatar, Coptic, Nubian, Mari, Karelian, any of the Amazigh languages, Udmurt, Kurdish, Guarani, Amis, Aymara, Buryat, Georgian, Navajo, Hopi, Adyghe, Chechen, Basque, Catalan or anything else.

Any other language.

It’s textbook bigotry.

Be rid of it

[gerardwaygirlmoments]

Likewise.

Hence why I plan on learning Syriac.

Like I said.

Outside of the Assyrian communities very few people speak it, aside from maybe some Maronites and some Indian Syriac Christians in Kerala.

Plus I figure I may as well learn something what with me being an Irishman what can’t speak Irish.

In addition to Syriac I also have plans to learn Armenian.

And perhaps even Navajo, Basque, Chuvash, Georgian and Adyghe (a Circassian language). Hypothetically…

My dream is to learn a million languages but I really doubt that’ll happen. I’m gonna try to get Hebrew down and after that I think I can get Arabic. Idk what other Semitic languages there are but I can probably get then. Idk what after that if anything.

I should’ve started with Spanish or something but I’m Ashkenazi Jewish so I have more cultural connection to Hebrew. Also considering languages from my European heritage (German, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Yiddish) but idk.

I also have a friend who’s Armenian, which is neat. We’ve only talked about that once tho and I probably don’t want to push her on that.

Seven Snippets Seven People Tag

Thanks for tagging me, @talesfromaurea! :D

Here are seven snippets from the denouement of The Unfortunate Moth (major spoilers, obviously):

1.

"Are you telling me that a professional killer was hired to murder Mrs. Langdale?" the doctor asked.

Yo-han nodded. "I know, it sounds improbable. But there are certain important facts that prove it. First, the similarity in the murder weapon and the way the murder was committed."

Tremaine ventured to say, "That ain't proof, though."

"Not on its own. Second, the assassin's apparent invisibility. Third, the music."

"Hey!" Tremaine yelped. "Are you tryin' to pin this on me?"

Yo-han took a deep breath and forced himself to remain polite. "Not at all, I assure you. I simply mean the assassin was familiar with the piece of music and knew when it would be loud enough to cover a shot.

"Fourth, where did the money go? Obviously the assassin has expensive tastes, or is spectacularly careless. I doubt he gave it all to charity. Could he, perhaps, have lost most of it in gambling?"

Under cover of surveying all of the suspects, Yo-han kept a close eye on one of them in particular. Now for the first time he saw a flicker of alarm beneath the mask.

"Fifth, the hole in the wall.

"Sixth, he cannot have regular employment or he would never be able to travel the world like this. Yet he can't be completely reliant on the money he earns from killing, or the irregularity in his finances would have been discovered before now.

"In short, we have a murderer with a fondness for gambling, a knowledge of disguise, music, and carpentry, and no steady job. That description would fit an actor very well. Don't you agree, Mr. Colman?"

2.

If Yo-han had thrown a bomb at the gathered suspects he could hardly have caused more uproar. Tremaine and the doctor jumped as if they'd been stung. The captain dropped his pipe. The guards looked back and forth from Yo-han to Colman. Király leapt to his feet with an expression that suggested someone was about to get punched, and he hadn't decided yet if it was Colman or Yo-han. Miss Patton turned to Colman with a bewildered frown.

Colman himself returned Yo-han's stare without flinching and without any apparent emotion. He said nothing, simply raised one eyebrow and waited. His face was blank but there was something in his eyes that suggested he wanted to smile sardonically.

3. 

An officer was waiting outside as he had asked. Yo-han took the box from him and went back to his chair. The officer locked the door again. Colman watched with his head on one side and a mildly puzzled expression. Everyone else looked bewildered. Király had sunk back down into his chair, but looked like he was ready to leap up again at a minute's notice.

"Do you recognise this?" Yo-han asked.

"Certainly," Colman said. "It's my violin case."

A chorus of indignant exclamations interrupted here. "That's not a violin case!" "Do you take us all for fools?" "Violin? Yeah, and I'm the Emperor of Mexico."

4.

"I admit, I gamble far too much," Colman said. "But I am quite capable of making money through acting or music. I don't need to go around killing people."

Yo-han ignored him and lifted the violin out. He set it carefully on the table. "Thank you, Mr. Király. Your suitcase gave me an important clue." He ran his fingers along the velvet lining that framed the space for the violin. "All of you can see this case is far larger than it needs to be. What is all that extra space used for?"

One corner moved when he touched it. Yo-han prised it up. The velvet lining came away. A chorus of gasps followed.

A gun lay in pieces in the hidden compartment.

Colman didn't react with anger or despair or even the slightest hint of embarrassment. He sighed and nodded as if he wasn't really surprised. His voice was quite calm as he asked, "What gave me away?"

"When Miss Patton asked what Adyghe is, you said it's a language similar to Russian. You claimed you only speak English, yet you have heard of an extremely obscure language and know where it's spoken. That made me think. I had already deduced Jughashvili's killer must have been good at disguises, so who better than an actor?"

5.

Yo-han continued, "Then of course you showed me your drawings. They made me realise you were interested in set design, which would include some knowledge of carpentry. Enough to know where to saw through a wall without hitting the wiring or pipes, perhaps.

"Any remaining doubt was destroyed when you sent Miss Patton that drawing this morning. I consulted a dictionary of flower meanings. Lilies of the valley, tulips, orchids and hyacinths have one thing in common: they all mean regret. When used in a bouquet they mean the giver is apologising for something."

Colman winced. He turned to stare almost wildly at Miss Patton. "I never meant to put the blame on you. I thought you'd have an alibi. I was an idiot but I didn't deliberately frame you. Everything I've told you is true. I do think of you as a friend. Believe that if you believe nothing else."

Miss Patton stared at him. Her lip trembled and she clenched and unclenched her hands. She raised one hand sharply, but let it drop without striking him. Abruptly she got up and walked over to the other side of the room. She leant on the windowsill and stared out at the sea. Colman watched her, then slumped back against the settee. He looked genuinely distraught as he stared at the floor.

It occurred to Yo-han that the man was more upset about losing a friend than about murdering two people.

6.

Colman shrugged. He looked up and gave Yo-han a sarcastic smile. "No cell will hold me. I'll walk off this ship and you will never stop me."

"Believe that if it gives you comfort," Yo-han said dryly.

7.

Yo-han had brought his luggage off the ship and was waiting near the passport check-point to meet Miss Patton and Mr. Király when they disembarked. He idly watched the passengers milling by. Some he recognised, some he knew by sight only, some he didn't know at all. One mousy, non-descript young man brushed past him.

"Good day, Mr. Seo," the man said.

Yo-han returned the greeting automatically. The man had passed him and was showing his passport to the officials before his words — and more importantly his voice — registered.

Yo-han's head snapped round. He was just in time to see the man walk through the gate. He stopped and looked back. There was nothing particularly memorable about him, any more than about the dozens of similar young men all around. Then he straightened up and tilted his head to the side. Even from a distance Yo-han could see he was grinning.

Leopold Colman waved cheerily and disappeared into the crowd.

Yo-han started forward. He opened his mouth. The words to alert the officers were on the tip of his tongue. Then he closed it again. Colman was long gone.

Tagging @diphthongsfordays, @enchanted-lightning-aes, @eccaiia, @blind-the-winds, @fearofahumanplanet, and anyone else who wants to do this! :D

Ored Recordings: May 21st, Again (Abkhazian and Circassian Music from Turkey)

May 21st. Again. For several years now, almost every May 21st, we release a statement that speaks more clearly about memory, colonialism, defiance against repressive mechanisms, and resistance to assimilation. For the Circassians, this day is a day of mourning, marking the end of the Russo-Caucasian War in 1864, the loss of independence, and the mass expulsion from their historical…

Where to Buy Sand for Construction in Russia

Дробилка инертных материалов предлагаем полный ассортимент: песок, гравий, щебень, отсев, гравийно-песчанные смеси. В наличии и под заказ.

There are many places in Russia where you can купить песок for construction. The major areas are Maykop Nerud, Olympstroy, Severstroy, and Novosibirsk. Each has its own unique characteristics and is an excellent option for a variety of construction projects.

Maykop Nerud

Maykop Nerud has established a new quarry in Russia. The project has a long-term supply of 10 million m3 of sand and gravel. The project will use these materials to create a lake for recreation and fishing. The site is about 115 km from Sochi.

Maykop is located on the right bank of the Belaya River, which flows from the Kuban River. Its climate is temperate continental with warm summers and mild winters. The area receives significant rainfall during the summer months. The average temperature is between minus 0.5 degrees Celsius in January and plus 22.8 degrees Celsius in July. Maykop has excellent transport links, with intercity buses connecting with neighboring cities. Buses also operate intracity routes.

The Maykop area's history stretches back to antiquity. The region was a stop on the Great Silk Road. The Adyghe people first separated as separate ethnic groups in the 12th century. In 1557, Ivan the Terrible married the daughter of a Kabardian prince, which resulted in the Adyghe tribes becoming part of the Russian state.

Severstroy

You can buy sand in Russia for construction projects. There are many places where you can purchase it. For example, the city of Severstroy produces elements for the construction of the Moscow Metro. This plant has strict standards for sand quality. It is also used in constructing the special road for Formula 1 events in Sochi.

The Maykop Nerud quarry is located in the southern part of the country. The process of mining the material here is almost dust-free. The materials are transported to Sochi, 115 km away. This area is home to many projects for the Olympic games, including the 2.5-km tunnel complex, the Bolshoi Ice Palace, and the Severstroy plant.

Olympstroy

Olympstroy is a state-owned corporation in Russia that buys sand in the Black Sea region. According to an audit conducted by the government watchdog, the company's bosses set up conditions that led to unjustified increases in costs. This is part of a series of reports that the company has not responded to.

The cost of the road connecting the mountainous venues to the sea venues is $9 billion. The state-run railroad company, Russian Railways, has won the construction contract. The company is led by Vladimir Yakunin, a former KGB general and comrade of President Putin. He awarded the subcontract to a private company, SK Most, which holds a stake in Millennium Bank, a bank once headed by Vladimir Yakunin's wife and which supports Vladimir Yakunin's church activities. Today, it is jointly owned by Russia Railways and its subcontractors and is chaired by Vladimir Yakunin's vice president.

[nimbus-tatze]

dunno about other indigenous folks, but recently i've been talking to more of our adyghe youth and it became clear that many dont want outsiders to know all that much about us actually. We just want to connect amongst ourselves and it results in somewhat exclusionary behaviour (there is a whole conversation to be had about this actually, but that would be too much for this post). I mentioned this video a youtube history channel made about us and it was met with :/ faces.

Makes me curious about how the youth of other indigenous people view stuff like that.

[chingizhobbes]

Do you know anything about migrations to the Black Sea region in turkey between the 1800's and the very early 1900's? My great grandmother had told my mother that they migrated from the caucus area, but we don't know where. My family ranges from snow white to peach colored btw. Thanks in advance.

just venturing a guess, but you're probably looking at circassian/adyghe and other North Caucasus victims of Russian conquest and genocide in the region around the period you're asking about. circassians are stereotyped in turkey and the Levant as being blond and beautiful people. whether or not that's true, they're a lot fairer skinned/haired than most other black sea region residents.

[weedle-testaburger]

Oh wow. I forgot about that. And I’m glad you’re doing okay too. As I said I’m doing a cosplay trial later this month for the con I booked for January. Also, I’ve been considering looking into other languages. Not just Armenian and Syriac like I suggested but a few others. Mainly Adyghe, Navajo, Chuvash, Ossetian, Georgian, Basque and Tibetan. These ones have piqued my interest, admittedly I’m not sure why (part of it is due to my fascination with unrepresented peoples like the Tibetans). WDYT?

Sounds good, and hope that and the con go well too! Ik the feeling with other languages, I wish I knew more too though tbh my interest is more to do with ones I might be able to get a lot of practical use out of like French, Spanish or Japanese. Obviously I agree preserving languages like those is really important too though!

[felgueirosa]

White xaldos will be like indigenous people exist in europe too!!! Like ummm.... the irish???

If u live in europe i promise you there is at least one group that lives in some part of your country that has had their land taken from them. They are probably a small group and they are probably not so well known outside of the region. Not everything falls into your lap. Sometimes you have to actually make an effort to learn about the land you live on
