This is absolutely incredible. Thank you for producing this, for making Kassem's voice and story known. I'm going to make a donation to you guys right now. Thank you for sharing these stories.

It make you realize how good we have it and how petty some of our problems are. Also how you can’t believe the media you have to hear it from people that were there.

The courage of two convictions: Nicolas Sarkozy

Sun Sets West

Roots Run Deep (Michael Anthony and B. Smiley Deep Remix)

The widow-queen of the Mongols, Mandukhai, seizes the reins of her own fate, entreating the spirits of sky and earth to help her in her quest to reunite her broken people and return sovereignty and glory to Mongolia. Oh, and she also marries a 7-year-old, which is a little strange, but makes sense in context.

Time Period Covered:
1470~1480 CE

Major Historical Figures:
Mandukhai Khatun [ca. 1449-1510]
Dayan Khan (Batu Mongke) [1462-1543?]
Gen. Une-Bolod [?-?]
Ismayil Taishi [d. 1486]

#237 - Yuan 18: Mandukhai, Warrior Princess

Peu représentées en littératures, au cinéma ou dans les séries, les histoires d’amitiés entre femmes sont tantôt perçues comme futiles ou pleine de rivalités et de trahison, tantôt comme dangereuses et violentes, ou encore suspectées de lesbianisme. Cet épisode interroge les mécanismes qui empêchent les amitiés féminines d’advenir. Mais aussi la puissance qu’elles permettent et la portée politique qu’elles représentent. À travers une grande histoire d’amitié, entre Avril et Alenka, qui se sont mariées pour célébrer leur relation, devant leurs familles, il y a quelques mois.

There are more tigers in captivity in America than wild tigers in the entire world. The exact number of captive tigers in this country isn't known, because many of them live in people's backyards or unaccredited zoos, and the legality of their ownership varies widely by state and even by circumstance. We travelled to Louisiana to see a 550-pound Siberian-Bengal tiger who lives at a truck stop, and the man who's fought very hard to persuade Louisiana lawmakers he's not a criminal.

Le dirty talking ou dirty talk : en français, le parler sale. Les trucs un peu hard qu'on (se) dit au lit. La sexualité étant un espace hautement culturel, on a même réussi à codifier le dérapage – il s'agit d'être explicite mais pas trop, de se dire des cochonneries mais pas trop. Maïa Mazaurette donne quelques conseils de bon sens illustrés de sons réjouissants.

Sex and sounds (n°4) : Dirty talking

Kassem Eid had spent two years living in a city under siege.  After he and his neighbors took part in the protests during the Arab Spring in 2011, Syrian President Bashar Al Assad began to punish towns like Kassem’s. His forces bombed them, surrounded them, and starved them. That’s when Kassem decided to fight back.

Thank you so much to Kassem Eid for sharing his story with us. Kassem was recently accepted into Columbia University. You can check out his new book, “My Country,” out now. Find him on twitter at @qzakarya.
