You know that post about how angels and telephone towers are biologically compatible? That’s how I feel about overgrown plants and industrial machines.
I need to (remembers to not make casual suicide jokes in order to encourage a more outwardly positive mindset and healthy conversational environment in my day to day life) kill myself
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?”
Tomorrow, May 1 is the first day of my 15 day hunger strike!
During these next 15 days I am also planning to step away from social media. I have some gofundmes and posts queued while I won’t be online.
I am honoured to be hunger striking in solidarity with the people of Gaza who are being forcefully starved by Israel. I am also honoured to say that with the help of my friends we raised $5,748.14 for Anera through sponsors of our hunger strikes. As always, you can continue donating to them to help get food and water and resources into Gaza.
Many many many thanks to my beautiful friends on here: @stuckinapril @cowboyooo @nyansferatu @cherubxkisses and @junesariver who are all joining me and helped raise the bulk of the money donated to Anera for this hunger strike.
