Diese woche im Hau: Love is a Verb.
Liebes Publikum, was wäre, wenn das Lieben ein allgemeines Wohlwollen gegenüber anderen Menschen, Lebewesen, dem Planeten und sich selbst beschreiben würde, sowie die Bereitschaft, gemeinsam mit ihnen zu wachsen? Mit dem Festival “Love is a Verb”, das noch bis Sonntag läuft, denken wir das Lieben durchlässig und in der Dynamik des Tuns. Denn dem Lieben als Handlung wohnt politische Kraft…

Updated stream list
I've been getting a lot of questions/requests regarding possible streams and thought it might be helpful to catalog everything we've watched so far! I'll keep it pinned and updated moving forward.
Longtime crowd favorites (streamed at least three times) are marked with a single asterisk.
Why isn’t [specific actor/video] on this list?
The video is currently marked not for trade.
We haven’t gotten to it yet.
The footage does not exist or is too incomplete.
It isn't on a platform I can stream it from.
There's something particularly off-putting about the video or actor.
How can I get a copy of a video listed here?
There's a list of publicly available bootlegs here, and there are many other adaptations on the Phantom Retrospective channel. Otherwise, contact @glassprism (or another trader) for a possible trade, or check her website for info on which master(s) to contact.
For general stream info, please see the Saturday Streams FAQ.

Idk if you’ve answered this somewhere else but do you have a top three for designers and/or collections?
i haven't! i don't really have a top collection first because i have a terrible memory and it all blends into one general vibe after a while lmao and second because i cannot pick just 3 anyway, and i guess top 3 designers kind of change as time passes and new ones come and whatnot... plus there are so many good interesting designers it's hard to pick at all, like sure mcqueen is mcqueen, i'd die for mcqueen who wouldn't, even sarah burton's mcqueen was impeccable imo even if it wasn't as wild, i really love jeremy scott's work in moschino, it was insane and silly and so much fun and genuinely cool, and then westwood is... you know.. westwood, like who doesn't like westwood, you need to get something checked if you don't like westwood. i did a whole project on the punk scene and westwood when i was in fashion school, didn't even hesitate when they asked us to pick a designer and a style. i guess i'd pick those three as my all time favs.
current ones, i'm always looking forward to whatever harris reed is cooking every year, i would literally kill a man for thom browne if he asked, and i love the silly little fairytale world kate and laura mulleavy live in within rodarte even if sometimes it gets a little ugly, it gets a little dumb. notable mention not making it into the top 3 but still being great for simone rocha, robert wun and dilara findikoglu.
other than that, i also did a project on agatha ruiz de la prada and aesthetics and branding because i think she's so fun design wise and so specific, she's just doing whatever, that's a clown show she puts on every collection and frankly why not, what's stopping us! and sure elie and zuhair are great, it's practically the same collection every year too but who cares when they're so good at what they do.

The Hunger Games characters have some unique names based on many cultures we've lived in today.
What's your favourite character names from THG world? What's their names meaning?
Bonus questions :
If you're a fanfic writer writing about characters who lives in Panem, what's their name gonna be?
If you're a reader, what's a name you read in a THG fanfic that stuck with you?
Thank you, @curiousnonny
@wistfulweaverwoman has an AMAZING breakdown of Peeta's first and last name and the symbolism behind it. Please go read that post. I'm kind of obsessed with it.
Suzanne pays attention to where names come from, so for THG and her other series, The Underland Chronicles, fanfic authors have guidance in where to get names. For THG, Capitol gets their names from Latin/Roman influence. The Districts largely get theirs from their industry (Wiress, Thresh, Cashmere, Bobbin, Tanner, Reaper, etc.). District 2 seems to follow the Capitol with Latin/Roman influences (Cato, Sejanus, Marcus, etc.). The Covey get theirs from a name in a ballad and a color (which is explained in TBOSAS).
For District 12, quite a few Seam characters get their name from nature (Katniss, Gale, Primrose, Posy, Hazelle, Lil short for Lily, Spruce), while it's been my headcanon that the merchants get theirs from derivatives of Biblical names. I always associate Peeta with Peter before pita bread, Delly=Delilah, Madge=Margaret, Maysilee/Mayfair=Mary and though they're Seam, Sae=Sarah/Sariah, Thom=Thomas.
Long, long, long time ago before Peeta's brothers had the fanon names Rye and (some other bread-related name) I used the names Jam and Jonah to make them...Peter, James, and John. This was before Mockingjay released and I'd been hoping his brothers would live and they'd have a role in the rebellion, making the trio comparison apt. I'm still attached to these names though, even if his brothers didn't really do anything. Also in the now-deleted fic I wrote of Mr. and Mrs. Everdeen getting together, I named Mrs. Everdeen Ruth, after the Ruth in the Bible that left her family and people to live and care for her mother-in-law after her husband died. The story reminded me of Mrs. Everdeen leaving her family to marry Mr. Everdeen. I don't think anyone else has this more Biblically-oriented view of the townies of D12's names. And it could just be that a lot of English names are derived from Biblical names as it is and I'm stretching. But merchants do have a distinct lack of nature names in comparison to those from the Seam so I think there's something making their names distinct. A way of showing another divide between the two cultures in D12.
