Srebrenica dani sjećanja channel - survivor stories with English subtitles 

FAMA methodology channel - has many short videos and lectures 

Lectures

Establishing the facts - Jean-Rene Ruez 

The place of the Srebrenica massacre in the Bosnian genocide - Marko Attila Hoare 

The role of the UN - Hasan Nuhanović 

Genocide memorial day lecture (role of the UN) - Hasan Nuhanović

Nesmireni snovi 

And here is a lengthy but detailed and well written text on why a documentary called “A town betrayed” is really not a good source to learn about what happend in Srebrenica. 

This is in addition to a list I already made with documentaries about the war in Bosnia in general.

And there are also posts about Višegrad and Prijedor separately.

i really love the phrase “with all due respect” because it doesn’t specify how much respect is due. could be none. bitch.

Did I already reblog this? Dunno

But the best crazy!❤

#BookChallenge2021

So here is the #BookChallenge I put together for the year, muxing up categories from several Book Challenge lists I spotted on the net, such as POPSUGAR Reading Challenge or the Reading Women Challange. It counts 30 books as I will hopefully read a few more?

I put together one that could provide me a mix of pushing me out of my comfort zone/broadening my horizons and a very much deserved in this crazy long night self-indulgence. 

I am sharing it, even if it’s a bit late for this kind of projects but what is Time during a pandemic? The passage of time has been long lost ever since… Anyway! I am sharing this hoping to provide useful/intersting tips or - who knows? - inspiration to do this or a similar challenge to fellow bookworms and not. I added flags on certain categories so you know what to expect, that is where to find queer content or where to set sails. After all, in a time where travelling is pretty much not an option, a book can a be the best airplane ticket to fly around this big troubled world forgetting the current chaos…

“Do you think there is the possibility of you and I? In this lifetime, is that too much to hope for? There is something so delicate about this time, so fragile. And if nothing ever comes of it, at least I have known this feeling, this wonderful sense of optimism. It is something I can always keep close to me—to draw from in my darkest hour like a ray of unspent sunshine. No matter what happens next, I will always be glad to know there is someone like you in the world.”

— Lang Leav, Someone Like You

the found family trope will forever be the greatest trope to come out of fiction i’m sorry, there is just something about random people meeting through extraordinary odds and progressively learning to know and love each other despite their countless flaws and differences and go on to form an unbreakable bond that is just so exceptional.
