What’s the latest on #BiDi scripts? Am looking for an up to date resource or set of resources to put together an introductory lecture for a course on #Persian #manuscripts this summer. My knowledge is now a few years behind.

#moviereview of #YamaRauff's #ForTheLivesOfOthers:

»Rauff follows activists protesting the killing of animals and the industries that commodify their bodies. Yet the film’s focus quickly widens. The structures of power, operating under the banner of law and democratic order, are shown to defend precisely the systems the activists oppose. Despite the ethical clarity of the protest, society at large aligns itself with these structures. In this sense, the film closely echoes Michel Foucault’s account of disciplinary power: a form of control that acts upon bodies and minds simultaneously. « — https://8am.media/eng/hidden-cages-a-film-that-challenges-both-mind-and-society-reading-for-the-lives-of-others/

Can anyone tell me how to write this Persian/Farsi word in the English alphabet?

#askfedi
#persian
#Farsi

Thanks for any help 👍

Apologies, I wasn't very clear in the op. I got the word by translation from 'Mastering' but wondered how the result would be 'written for pronunciation' in the English alphabet, having seen various other Persian/Farsi words notated in English in dictionaries etc.

I am still not explaining myself very well! 😂

Auf meiner Suche nach Ablenkung bin ich nach vielen Jahren wieder auf diese #BRAVOtv Serie/Neuauflage zufällig gestoßen. Die Serie habe ich in meiner Zeit in den USA (lange her) gesehen und auch genossen.

  Jetzt, heute, schaue ich da ganz anders hin!

How you can help send the devilish Mullah regime in #Iran to hell from your cosy home:

2. React to videos documenting the massacre of the population.

3. Complain to the media and politicians, who poorly report or take action
