(UPG) lady nyx is super into fleetwood mac
Jessica and Jay are siblings (twins) that’s my headcanon :)
Guys should I write a marble hornets fic that’s jalylex-centric that’s a Chicago Musical AU
Hey I’m back with the Chicago Musical AU polls. Now we need to figure out who’s going to be go-to-hell kitty and you will pick from these characters
I know I’m a little late to this one, with Carlee Russell.
It’s sickening that when a young, conventionally attractive nursing student goes “missing” and is revealed to be faking, we still give her sympathy and care that should go to women who are in true peril. It’s sickening that 64000+ black women are missing and nobody put the same time, care or effort into finding them or sharing their stories.
These are people’s sisters, daughters, friends, wives, cousins, colleagues, these are women with lives and communities and hopes and dreams. The sad reality? So shockingly many of these women will never be found alive. They’ll never come home. They won’t get to come home on their own volition like Carlee did, they won’t get to go home safe and sound. Their stories won’t get the same coverage that Carlee got. Say their names, remember their faces and share their stories.
Carlee was in no shadow of a doubt struggling with something to fabricate her own abduction. I wish she found another way to deal with it, instead of this.
One woman’s fabrication took so many resources from women who truly needed them. It’s sick.
made by me❤️🩹🏰
their parallels are so personal to me
Elica LeBon effectively describes the context of current events in Iran in this TikTok video. As she said, this isn't something that started only a few months ago; Mahsa Amini's death was just another boiling point that has become the point of no return. These are the feelings of Iranians.
Please share.
I just saw a news article refer to the Iranian protests as "anti-hijab protests," and while I think most people realize this, I wanted to write a post about this anyway. I'm not Iranian, and if there's something I misunderstand, I'm open to any Iranian correcting me. But here's what I've gathered from posts by Iranians:
The protests are not "anti-hijab" protests. That is an oversimplification that is so simplified it's incorrect. The protests go beyond the hijab issue. Iranian women are forced to wear the hijab. If they don't wear it they can be beaten or even murdered. If they speak out against, they can get beaten or murdered. If their families spread the word about what happened, their families could be murdered. Children have been murdered.
Mahsa/Jina Amini's murder was the catalyst for the revolution, but it wasn't the root cause, and nor is the hijabs in and of themselves. The people of Iran are protesting because they're sick and tired of living under an oppressive regime their whole lives. They're fighting for the right to wear a hijab or not wear a hijab as they please...and not be murdered because of that choice. They're fighting to end the oppression of women and the country in general. They're not "anti-hijab."
This is Sepideh Gholian. She is a worker’s activist who lead the workers of Iran’s sugar factory in their strike. The workers hadn’t been paid for seven months and were shot at when they protested for their rights.
Islamic republic of Iran sent 30 MEN to arrest this woman and she is in jail to this day as are many other workers who were arrested in that strike 5 years ago.
This is Sattar Beheshti. Iranian worker and blogger who was imprisoned for speaking about the condition of workers in Iran and died as a result of torture. The government said he had sustained unexplained head trauma-exactly like Mahsa.
These are only two examples. If you are a communist-leftist of any kind and you do not speak up against islamic republic of iran shame on you. You don’t give a shit about workers you just belong in an anti-American circlejerk online.
