Iranian Government Is Attacking And Killing Their Own People Also Aiding Russia's Genocide Against Ukrainians

An incredibly powerful video. Two women, one secular and one religious, both stand against the regime of Iran.

Please share the amazing courage and dignity of these women.

the total number of detainees during the nationwide uprising in Iran is estimated at 6,000.

in this post I will talk about some of them.

(tw:beating) this is Armita Abbasi. she is 20 years old, she was last seen in a hospital after her arrest because she was reportedly beaten with a baton. her whereabouts are unknown.

this is Saeed Heleichi, an Arab poet and activist. he was arrested on October 19.

this is Soheil Khoshdel, a 17 yo protester who was arrested and sent to a correctional center just because of protesting.

this is Samane Asqari, a children rights activist. the police officers introduced themselves as employees of water department so they can enter her house and arrest her.

this is Badi' Khaze'i. he was arrested alongside his friends. after realizing that he's a follower of Baha'i religion, the police transferred him to Evin prison of Tehran which is 792 miles away from his hometown.

Elnaz Rekabi, a climber who refused to wear the hijab in a competition is reportedly under house arrest.

(tw: beating and torture) this is the moment of Hossein Ronaghi's arrest. he has been arrested several times over the past 20 years. this time he was arrested for being interviewed by an anti-regime broadcasting station. he was violently taken away by the police in front of a courthouse. he was going to turn himself in but he was still beaten by the police. both of his legs are broken and he has been tortured for days without any treatment. he's also on a hunger strike.

this is Atrin Azarfar. she's a Kurdish graphic designer who was arrested on October 19. her whereabouts are unknown.

this is Fatemeh Sepehri, a political and women's rights activist. she was arrested because of her interview with an anti-regime tv station. she has been kept in a solitary confinement since September 21.

this is Niloofar Hamedi, a journalist who reported Jina Amini's murder and shared a photo of her parents. she's been arrested for doing her job.

say their names, talk about them.

Yes, Spain!!!!

Ao3:*is down for a couple of hours*

Me: I CANNOT ENDURE THIS TORTURE, HOW AM I TO SURVIVE THIS LONG WITHOUT MY BELOVED, MUST I RETURN TO THE DARK AGES?!!?

Me: The Dark ages it shall be, *opens fanfiction.net* I shall endure the pain and suffering graciously until my beloved is healed.

Just a hunch here, gop. But I think being 14 and married to a gross older man or dying in a mining accident is a bigger threat to a child than hearing about trans people.

hello i do not know if this has been shared here already but snowflake is a system that allows you to access censored websites and applications from all over the world. And if you are in a place where the internet is not heavily censored, you can help someone else do that by adding a simple web extension to your browser (which is super easy, safe and takes maybe 2 minutes) or just keeping this webpage open. Further information on both how to bypass censorship and how to help can be found here. And here is there support channel regarding Iran in particular. Please help and share this if you can!

after eight years, I finally updated my huge Historical Fashion Reference & Resources Doc! Now in the form of a MUCH more easily updated Google Doc with better organization, refreshed links, and five more pages of books and online resources.

I know tumblr hates links, but it’s worth it for a doc that I can now update with far more regularity going forward! RIP to the original, you did your duty for far longer than you should have. 😔🙏🏼

Know what I’m salty about?

In all my art classes, I was never taught HOW to use the various tools of art.

Like yes, form, and shape and space and color theory and figure drawing is important, but so is KNOWING what different tools do.

I’m 29 and I JUST learned this past month that India Ink is fucking waterproof when it dries. Why is this important? Because I can line something in India Ink and then go over it with watercolors. And that has CHANGED the ENTIRE way I art and the ease I can create with.

tldr: Art Teachers: teach your students what different tools do. PLEASE.

people agree with like every criticism of capitalism until you actually use the word "capitalism"
