Lesbian angel, inspired by butterflies.

Last year's version was more abstract so I tried to make the butterfly shape more obvious with the redesign.

here's a little news: they've cut off our internet connection like they did 3 years ago when the entire Bloody Aban situation was going on, and I'm one of the few lucky people with a tiny bit of access to come on here and literally BEG you to spread the word. people are on the streets getting killed. a 10 year old girl was shot, several teens are dead. women are being shamelessly fucking beaten (in Mahsa's case, to DEATH) by the same people who cry over historic islamic women being tortured or misbehaved a thousand years ago. do not stay silent.

CAN YOU HEAR US??

The protests in Iran may have started against the mandatory hijab law and wanting justice for Mahsa Amini's death but now it has turned into a protest _ a war dare I say _ against the whole regime. People are just fed up with the dictatorship of Ali Khamenei and want him gone! They are chanting things like "death to the dictator" and "death to the Islamic Republic" in the streets. And it's not something new it's just for the first time we've been able to raise our voices and make the world listen. The mahsa amini tag has been trending on Twitter for days and Iranians are still trying to keep it trending so please be our voice and spread the news. Let the world know the real face of our government.

To everyone asking what's the point of sharing content about the protests in Iran and the killing of Mahsa Amini:

THE PEOPLE IN IRAN ARE BEGGING US TO SHARE THEIR PICS AND VIDS AND POST HER NAME!

Isn't that reason enough?

And do you know why they beg us for our attention?

BECAUSE IT'S MUCH HARDER FOR A GOVERNMENT TO KILL ITS CITIZENS WHILE THE WORLD IS WATCHING

Be their voice, say her name!

You really believe the Iranian government would cut access to social media if it didn't matter?

Nika Shakarami was nearly 17 years old when she went missing during a protest rally on september 20. when she was found, dead, 9 days later, her family was not allowed to see her head when asked to identify her body. she was filled with injuries including a smashed nose and broken skull.

another teen girl, 16 year old Sarina Esmailzadeh, was also killed. she was reportedly hit repeatedly in the head by the police.

since the start of the protests 15 days ago, it is estimated 300 were killed and 15,000 people were arrested.

the fight for democracy and freedom in iran continues. do not forget about iranian women!

Help us by spreading the news.

Be our our voice.

hey dear people, i'm an iranian girl. i want to talk about life in iran, so you can gain some perspective and understand what we're going through.

from the age of seven we have to wear a hijab to attend school, we have to study the quran and islam. we can't go to the same school with amab people. we can't criticize the government or talk about the leader and these are considered crime in iran. there is awful awful oppression against minorities. they treat followers of other religions so badly, there aren't enough resources for them to study their own religion. one minority group that they treat so badly are followers of Baha'i religion. some years after the islamic revolution they ex3cuted 10 bahaii women, one of them was Mona Mahmoudnejad who was 17 years old. a few months ago they ruined a bahaii neighborhood, also they can't go to work or have insurance. they also ex3cute atheists.

other than religious oppression there is gender inequality. afab people are considered half a person, so their income, their testimony and their blo0d money are less than an amab person. also there are laws about compulsory hijab. (i just want to mention that amab people have it bad too, there is compulsory military service and they can't attend universities if they don't do military service).

and let's talk about queer rights. you probably know what they do to gay people. a month ago they wanted to ex3cute two queer rights activists. we don't know what happened because they probably can't have a lawyer. people often think that being a trans person is easy in iran because you can have surgery covered by insurance. unfortunately i don't know enough about the surgery but i've heard that it's still really expensive for an average person. other than that they don't consider non-binary people as trans and they force gay people(amab people mostly) to transition. something that i want to mention is the role of compulsory hijab in dysphoria.

lastly i want to talk about political groups. they arrest people for political beliefs and there are literally thousands of people in the prisons because of that. everyday i hear that some person is arrested for saying that they don't want the government.

i've faced some of these oppressions and i struggle with religious trauma and i'm only 16!!! so i want people to try to raise awareness and help us overcome the government. right now cellular network has been shut down and i can only use wifi, but they cut off the wifi in big cities. they are k¡lling people in the protests. they shot Amir Fuladi, a 15 yo boy. you can find more information on twitter, search the hashtags #مهسا_امینی / #MahsaAmini / #IranProtests / #OpIran

if you have any questions please feel free to ask <3
