"What I told you was to take her to see some wheezy, crusty old men trying to rekindle some former glory, not to take her to see some sexy, brooding, hokey-cokey-folky white boy with a guitar, all flushed with youth and whatnot. "

Between filming and documenting so much death and destruction, and working so hard to stay alive, Ismail Jood films Motaz Azaiza singing a song by famous singer faya younan. Ismail's caption said: "We try as much as possible to stay away from the atmosphere of war and try to create a pleasant atmosphere away from the suffering that we see every day."

The Song is beautiful, the lyrics go:

"Your eyes are my dream that will be // As big as the tired dream // As great as my country.

Your hands wave to the returnees // And bring bread to the hungry // I love your hands // I love your hands // And more and more... I love my country"

Words cannot describe how wholesome and beautifully human this is. Hoping they stay safe and sane🙏

James Wilby on Ismail Merchant for Stephen Soucy's documentary on Merchant Ivory.

"In my head, I thought he was the big bad wolf, you know, I remember when we saw the film, the first screening of the film, I had actually seen it before, but only in an editing room. I was sitting behind Ismail, I think. And when the credits rolled, and I just saw his shoulders doing that, and Ismail just, was tears rolling down his face, he turned round to me and went, "it's so beautiful, god!" But it was entirely genuine, this is a, you know, this is a man who wore his heart on his sleeve, and at that point, I went, "oh, this is not the big bad wolf," and he was immensely generous to me, and I became very, very, very fond of him."

Imagine being at the Paralympics at age 13 and winning a silver medal. Imagine being the only swimmer from your country at the Paralympics and being able to bring home a medal.

This silver medal is also the first medal that Bosnia-Herzegovina has won at the Paralympics outside of the sport of sitting volleyball.

I feel like if a non-Muslim heard about that one holiday us Muslims have where we eat either sheep or cow meat because one of our prophets almost killed his son before a magical, heavenly sheep descended for him to kill instead they would call us lunatics. Which is why I am making this very poor description of Eid-ul-Adha.

The Inku Language

"Inku is an Indo-Aryan language spoken, at least historically, throughout Afghanistan by four of the country's nomadic communities: the Jalali, the Pikraj, the Shadibaz and the Vangawala.

Each of the four groups speaks a variety with slight differences compared to the others. According to their local tradition, their ancestors migrated in the 19th century from the Dera Ismail Khan and Dera Ghazi Khan regions of present-day Pakistan. Such an origin suggests that Inku may be related to the Saraiki language spoken there, though nothing is conclusively known.

The total population of the four Inku-speaking groups was estimated to be 7,000 as of the end of the 1970s. There is no reliable information about their present state, though it is unlikely that many have survived the subsequent upheavals in the country, and according to the entry in Ethnologue, which however may not necessarily refer to this language, the last speakers "probably survived into the 1990s".

Linguistic materials about the varieties spoken by the Shadibaz, Vangawala and Pikraj were collected by Aparna Rao in the 1970s, but they have not been published or analysed yet.

The following is an extract of a text narrated in 1978 by a man of the Chenarkhel subgroup of the Vangawala:

The one thing I remember about you as a writer is in Till Then your oc Benjamin. Who the reader never meets. But I feel like I know him so well from Damian's dialogue about him. I'd never had that happen to me before.

Oh that's fantastic actually, thank you, I'm very pleased to hear that! It really makes me want to take Till-Then out of mothballs and get to the end.

It got shelved because I was writing it at a time when DC kept tearing down and rebuilding their multiverse system every year or so, and I reconceptualized how I was handling the timelines to comply with the new multiverse mechanics twice before I gave up.

At this point I feel like the story might have been left far enough behind by canon (and possibly fanon also) to be charmingly retro instead of just out of sync and behind the trend lmao. Also DC kind of gave up the pretense of having coherent rules so I can do what I want eh?
