The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.

Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”

Writer friends, tell me how many WIPs and how many UFOs you have. I have 2 WIPs and [redacted] UFOs (jk it’s around 16 across my three main fandoms)

I know some rad fuckers.

I fucked up getting dressed and I hope the neighbors didn't see me. I walked my dog with my shirt backwards and my shorts inside out. Didn't notice till couple hours later bc walk caused severe pain and bruising. I feel like I looked nuts. So ashamed. I wish my partner could be my caretaker full time. I need more help than I have

We are going to a dance festival next month. I'm excited. One thing my mom did that I actually support is she had us do one year of dance each and one year of band (more if we wanted with band and same with dance if money allowed). We were already inclined in fine arts. She said we didn't have to do more but that this was necessary so that we could appreciate all the skill and effort put into the performances. Those experiences while traumatizing with band bc the flute really fucked my nerves still really helped me appreciate things like dance.

I'm trying to fill my calender with events to help with agoraphobia. I'm gonna go to the Cinco de mayo street festival and be there all by my self! It's a really close bus ride to my house but this will still be a big step. Then I'm going with my partner at the end of the month to the African arts festival. I really want to go to the Scottish festival in the middle or the month but that already has ticket prices and it would be a 2hour 22 min bus ride with a total of mile walking. My partner could drop me off but even with that I don't think I could manage that level of ride anymore in my current state after a day of walking around. So I'll probably have to wait and see if i can go next year. I miss the time where I could take 2 of the rides without much of an issue

This war has to stop. Israel is stopping aid from getting into Gaza and people are starving.

My dog licked and nuzzled her new squeak toy before cuddling with it to sleep. Can't recommend enough having a camera on caged animals. Safety reasons first most but also to catch cute moments like these

Triple paste, my love

There's a bunch of adhd advice out there that's like "people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done" and it's like well what if I don't want to be stressed out all the time in order to function

Something I don't understand. I've had friends and have friends that when it comes to art will look at people worse than them to give them confidence and make themselves feel better. I dont get how that works. I look at people better at me to get excited at where I can go. Like I've already been where someone with a lower skill is at? So how does looking at their work help me?

I got my dog some chew toys and I was testing which she liked and which to return when I got to a bright yellow squeaky toy. She seemed to like me squeeking it but didn't want to bite it. However when I took this one to the return pile she followed me and when I looked at her she sat down while staring at it. She knows she has to sit if she wants something so this also let's us know when she's trying to get something. I put it down and she gingerly picked it up and carried it deep into her crate. She's displayed a similar behavior to another squeaky toy. A stuffed duck. She's very careful with it and will occasionally be found curled up with it. I wonder why she does this. She clearly values squeaky things a lot and if afraid of destroying them. I've never seen a dog act like this. Did she have squeaky toys but break them and her past owner not replace them? I'm not sure but now that I know she values them I'll be sure to get more for her collection

unavoidable that you will be the villain in someone else's story. You will be painted in an unfavorable light. You will be the irredeemable one. and all of this will happen despite how nice you might usually be or how kind or how respectful or how warm. and you will just have to move on.
