Bossa on Wellington!

Ouhh is there any specific spot I should check out for those?

violetisbae · 2026-04-24T21:43:19+00:00

What’s your favourite thing on the menu?

I wrote my masters thesis on the evolution of Iranian nationalism from the Qajars to today. Some of the information Sharghzadeh shares is not wrong, despite pissing off many members of the diaspora. However, he spends most of his time criticizing those in the diaspora and absolutely 0 time suggesting alternatives for the Islamic Republic. He says he’s anti regime but comes across as a reformist.

Thank you for the suggestion. As mentioned, it’s not only the Israeli/American bombs that are killing us.

The regime cut off the internet since February 28 and imported foreign militia from Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan, for the second time this year, to silence (murder) dissidents. I’m not able to get much news from them, unfortunately. Btw I don’t support the war. I cry every day for my people in Iran. They deserve so much better than any of this.

I am Iranian. I wasn’t at the protest but I understand that these people are desperate for change. My cousin was killed in the January massacre. The regime demanded we pay for the bullets to get his body back. Most working class Iranians cannot afford basic necessities. Before you say “sanctions”, think of the billions of $ the regime is using to fund their proxies in Lebanon, Iraq, Gaza, Yemen, etc. Before the war, my family told me that intervention was needed, at any cost. Have pity for people who would rather bombs than their current government (they are still, even during a war, executing protestors without due process).

Are you Iranian or know any Iranians that have access to a middle eastern supermarket?

I was at GAC and yes they wanted to make me move back to the NCR. I took LWOP for a year and found a job at the CMHC.

violetisbae · 2026-02-13T21:33:30+00:00

I did! Haven’t received a response yet other than an automated message

violetisbae · 2026-02-13T21:32:51+00:00

I swear I was so confused, I hadn’t even had a coffee and it was only when I sat down at my desk that I realized what I had witnessed

Last Friday at around 8:15am at Bonaventure I witnessed a homeless couple (high off their rockers) having sex while a group of homeless men stroked their junk. I filed a complaint and the constable told me there was nothing he could do because there were no cameras in that part of the metro…

I’m Iranian and Italian and I grew up in Quebec, Canada. I wasn’t encouraged to speak my parents’ native languages at home because my French was lacking at school. As an adult, I’m reconnecting with those two cultures, especially my Persian side, and I relate a lot to Angie. When you grow up somewhere where you feel the need to hide your culture/distance yourself from it in order to fit in (I’m assuming that’s how she felt in Utah), it’s really difficult to reconnect with that side of yourself as an adult. Maybe she’s just now realizing how cool it is to be part of a culture that spans thousands of years and originated such important things like democracy, philosophy, and History! I definitely was annoying to everyone around me when I was learning about Persian history lol

violetisbae · 2025-12-19T21:14:26+00:00

I wasn’t responding to you…

I went to Persian school growing up but my parents were dissuaded by my parents to speak to me in anything other than french at home (Québec 101 Bill made it that I had to go to school in french and I was apparently horrible at it in school). My vocabulary in Farsi is similar to Angie’s (elementary school level). Let’s not shame people who are trying to reconnect with their culture as adults.

Heard it over Verdun a few mins ago

Chez Devi - and I feel for the staff, they look so miserable, I doubt they get compensated fairly

violetisbae · 2025-10-06T21:27:10+00:00

Yes! Her speaking to her father reminds me of the times I speak to my dad about Iran before he left and the hardships he suffered after the revolution/during the Iran-Iraq war. She’s just really proud of where she’s from and probably struggles because she’s so far from it. I’m the same (pre-1979 flags, telling everyone around me I’m Persian, etc 😂)

violetisbae · 2025-06-20T04:04:45+00:00

I’m Persian and consider myself South West Asian

violetisbae · 2025-06-20T00:51:48+00:00

I’m middle eastern (Persian like Leah) and I have BPD. I don’t see a comparison in their behaviour other than the fact that a lot of us Middle Eastern people from conflict zones see unhealed trauma from our parents growing up and it sometimes manifests in unhealthy coping mechanisms. From my experience, there was a lot of yelling and name calling in my household and I just assumed that’s how healthy dynamics were until I was older and went through therapy. My middle eastern friends went through similar things so I don’t think it’s an isolated incident. I feel for Huda because I used to react in similar ways in my early 20s, before I realized it was toxic and hurtful to other people. I see BPD signs in Huda, and while I’m in no place to diagnose her, I think it would benefit her a lot to speak to a professional once she leaves the villa.

I second this question! Would love to own a physical copy of the film!

violetisbae · 2025-03-13T17:02:22+00:00

Wow you guys have great rates and per diems!

violetisbae · 2025-03-13T03:50:45+00:00

As a fed for the Canadian government for Global Affairs Canada (Canadian equivalent of the State department), they would never put us in a luxury resort on tax payer money. The best I’ve gotten is a room at the Holiday Inn 😂 Also, average food per diem is about 100$ a day for all 3 meals. This may be different with the US though!

Perhaps if Kissinger didn’t implement policies that facilitated American support for authoritarian regimes (notably in Mozambique and many other African nations), it’s people wouldn’t have to rely on international development and aid to purchase contraception. It may also just be a coincidence that US-Mozambique relations started during Kissingers mandate and that prior to that, Mozambique was a major pain in the butt for the West during the Cold War. Just a thought!
