A master post of Thomas Romain’s art tutorials.

There’s not enough space to post all of them, SO here’s links to everything he has posted (on twitter) so far : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. 

Now that new semesters have started, I thought people might need these. Enjoy your lessons!

whoever came up with the idea of painting your nails was so fucking right.......

HAPPY International Women’s Day! 

We’re proud to share the stories of strong, powerful women - most who are remembered for challenging the social norms of their respective time periods, and for making real changes in history. May their stories live on!  

Smart people are dangerous, more at eleven lmao

And this is another example of why the Democrats keep losing

Atesh Shakrami, Nika's aunt who has been detained for four days and has not been heard from; Nika lived with her aunt, who is also a skilled painter.

Nika's uncle was arrested yesterday during the funeral ceremony in Hayat al-Gheeb village, 45 km from Khorramabad.

Be the voice of this brave family..

friendly reminder that if u don't feel comfortable talking about the genocide that's happening in iran rn in the city of zahedan and sanandaj and god knows which city next, just becuz the whole uprising started with the brave women of iran burning their scarves as a fuck u to the islamic regime for forcing literally every fucking thing on them in their lives ,hijab included, whilst providing them zero social equality and rights, and yet u fear to be canceled bcuz of possible "islamophobia", when ur actual phobia must be of this regime and their version of islam that they force upon people, u are not only ignoring them but also siding with the mullahs and regime as they're taking hundreds of other innocent young lives as i type this down;

be the voice of the voiceless!

ps: the islamic regime has enough support from most of ur governments, so please try to not be like ur representatives, thank u so much <3

You probably have heard what's happening in Iran in the wake of Mahsa/Jina Amini's death and how the protests are turning into more than just head coverings and morality police.

You may wonder "What can I do?"

Currently there's no physical aid we can offer that movement. And honestly, considering the West's track record in meddling in that region, it's likely for the best.

However, what we can do is stay informed so as to either know *when* to find aid organizations or how to contact your reps. And importantly, to show Iranians that they have an audience that cares. Especially if you personally know Iranians/Iranian-*insert nationality* and/or Iranian orgs in your area.

Despite how fun it is to rag on Twitter here, it's pretty effective about current events if you have the right sources. Unfortunately since this site frowns on hyperlinking, I'm just gonna give screenshots of accounts.

Above all, I suggest the English version of 1500tasvir (original account is in Farsi). That compiles footage and such of what's going on.

If you want analysis, these ladies are knowledgeable points to start from:

Of course, exercise judgment and perform self care when consuming all this. Because it's really easy to get overloaded, and it's counterproductive to get burnt out.
