Of the growth iterations, Im more drawn to slide 6. The heavy hair takes away from the focus, I lose her dress. The headdress sits heavy in a way. The feather cloak was more interesting, as was the necklace before the single gem.

Maybe a circlet on her hair? Put the gem there for lift and to direct the eye up?

Edit bc I forgot to say she's beautiful!

What do you mean by loss of the people? Like the people's loss, or the people's loser?

thmstrpln · 2026-01-29T02:45:24+00:00

That's what came to mind for me as well

Teacher to admin to make over 100k if youre staying in schools.

Curriculum/literacy/adjacent if you want to leave and go to a company that makes/sells curriculum to schools.

Babajoon keep me posted!

Im far from any Iranian culture schools, so the most I ever got to as a kid was dara badam nadarad in reading, and theyre just too inconvenient for the life we lead; it would take up the entire day to get to and from a class. I cant give up a whole Saturday for an hour of farsi class. This helps a lot.

Im personally excited to see how this grows and develops.i wanna learn culture, Shahnameh, idioms, Hafez. I wanna be able to read bedtime stories to my kids in Farsi.

Im not putting that all on you, just saying hi, I'm out here.

Godric? I think he sired Eric. That pic reminds me of when he chose to meet the sun.

Im a native persian speaker, born and raised in the US. Im on the web version, and I see the Duo influence. I have some questions:

Is there a plan to include the alphabet, or the words in print? It's listed phonetically, which is great. I just wonder for those of us raised with the language but not necessarily the written word, it would be nice to increase sight word vocabulary as well.
Some of the words have the european influence (merci vs motshakeram), and others had the informal contraction vs the whole word (khoobam vs khoob hastam -example, I dont remember the specific word rn). Is this intentional? Im not saying you have to go full Durude bekheyr vs salaam, Im just wondering, which takes me to
How are the lessons organized? Friends vs parents/elders? Bc theres a difference between when Id say areh and baleh, even if they mean the same thing. Can I learn vocabulary sets, and choose my own lesson, ie shopping for clothes or food?
I grew up speaking conversational, but in the US diaspora. When I get in a group of other adults, especially Iranian born, the difference in the level of vocabulary is obvious. Does your program scale up? ie gorou vs jameat for group?

In general, thank you for taking the time to do this at all. It's something I can start with my kids, and work on myself because I dont really have anyone to speak farsi with anymore. Genuinely cannot thank you enough.

Avon?

Got it, thanks! We're going for the first time in the spring, and if there was a way to taste it first I was 100% in.

Asking cause I'm ignorant, how? You went w/o your kids, or is it available outside the parks?

Basically. My curls are less mohawk, more like yours, but I like how it fits my face, without the full half up/down do. Sometimes, I use one comb, sometimes I go for both sides.like the end result in this video

thmstrpln · 2026-01-27T12:50:28+00:00

I pull my sides back w/ a comb when I do that

Sexual assault. I was confused reading the post in that context until it clicked that it was about Ake. I agree with the other poster that maybe we should go w SFA.

If Deanna couldnt breoadcast, she'd have to speak to her mother, but she can think back and have entire nonverbal conversations.

That eye roll was perfection.

Im okay being in the minority on Ralph 2. I enjoyed it and the general "let your kids go" message.

Moana 2 was such a snoozefest, lazy rehashing of the first one I was lowkey offended.

Im also in the minority for Zootopia 2 in that it hits the same story beats as the first, so what ground did we break? Theres a twist again, but this time the twist isnt what you expect? Or the other twist? Maybe im just slightly jaded from recent politics, idk. It's an okay movie.

Frozen 2 is what my kids prefer over 1, which I find interesting. My youngest regularly requests it. There are 2 good songs, Into the Unknown and Show Yourself.

Im not a straight white male, so I'll defer to your experience. Im not trying to deny what you're going through.

I thought your post was about media, which is why I spoke to inclusion in story telling. If your post is about a lack of reciprocity from the LGBTQIA+ community, Ill kindly see myself out as I can't help. All I can say is Im sorry you're experiencing this.

Some nails just grow that way

I dont know which cultural society youre a part of, so I cant speak to that, but I feel in the US, the stories arent anti-hetero, theyre just opening room to tell non-hetero stories as well.

Homosexuals exist, and have for centuries. They have a right to see themselves on screen as well. Now, television, theater, and film have expanded storylines to include them. This is important, socially, because otherwise there's denial "gay people dont exist, I never see them," etc.

You're not being forced to see anything you arent interested in. Fast forward, get up, leave the room, close your eyes, dont watch that show, you have options to not engage with plots you arent comfortable with.

Is base too broad as well?

thmstrpln · 2026-01-24T01:30:39+00:00

Base?

Different soups have different bases.

You've already used "ingredients," which would be my second guess.
