NoViolet Bulawayo's "We Need New Names" is one of my favorite #novels of all time.

I too grew up in a broken country and then immigrated to the #USA and lot of things and emotions described in this book was very familiar.

in this video, I discuss this #book - With no spoilers!

In this video, I discuss "My Name Means Fire: A Memoir" by Iranian author Atash Yagmaian—a powerful and disturbing account of growing up in Iran. Yagmaian’s story reveals what life was like for a girl in a conservative society shaped by political repression, social control, and cultural expectations.
This memoir explores identity, trauma, family, religion, and the hidden realities of everyday life in Iran.

So #Lutheran Bishop scolds the authority and the authority stops all payments to Lutheran charities, calling it illegal and this is not bothering American #Christians and #Evangelicals? Will we see Sen. Josh Hawley outraged? #doge #maga

Today I posded on my #Georgian language TikTok 3 minutes video, which was a digest of news of what has transpired in the USA over the past five days. I was just reporting the headlines, basically.

And they muted my sound and the reason was, that 3 minutes and 38 seconds were exceeding limit - I have 10 minutes video limits on TikTok BTW.

News about this administration is being censored globally!
