nil"This apple goddess is the keeper of orchards and fruit trees. Unlike many other agricultural deities, Pomona is not associated with the harvest itself, but with the flourishing of fruit trees. She is usually portrayed bearing a cornucopia or a tray of blossoming fruit. Despite her being a rather obscure deity, Pomona's likeness appears many times in classical art, including paintings by Rubens and Rembrandt, and a number of sculptures."

nil"The tyrant is only as powerful as his followers allow. Self reflection is essential; looking inside to experience real power, (being empowered) rather than outwardly (having or resisting power over). But ignoring the tyrant is not enough. We must also challenge (or stop giving responses that energize ) his followers. For it is there that the core of his power lies and where change must start."

Some people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted." - Frank Herbert, Chapterhouse: Dune.
#EuroMovieNight begins at 16:30 UTC (The usual time). Come and join us then, we'll be watching Run Lola Run (1998) and About Time (2013).
Run Lola Run (1998) "Lola receives a phone call from her boyfriend Manni. He lost 100,000 DM in a subway train that belongs to a very bad guy. Lola has 20 min to raise this amount and meet Manni. Otherwise, he will rob a store to get the money. Three different alternatives may happen depending on some minor event along Lola's run."
About Time (2013) "At the age of 21, Tim discovers he can travel in time and change what happens and has happened in his own life. His decision to make his world a better place by getting a girlfriend turns out not to be as easy as you might think."
"If women could make babies with each other, we wouldn't need men and the world would be such a more beautiful place"
Hard pass. This woman doesn't really understand that women can be really cruel to each other and they would just take on the roles she likely despises in men.
