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?”
we all know gus is an english nerd, with the spellingg bee episode and how much he corrects shawn with grammer. however i propose: he obsesses over literary analysis because of the Autism™️. he wants to be able to tell what people are thinking in real life that they dont directly say. does this work? who knows. not me
he DEFINITELY owns a train model of some sort. its probably in the psych office
he has a stupidly complicated fake-drawer thing in his desk, in which is a lock-picking set to hone his skillz. shawn has stolen it multiple times to break into places and gus has no idea
instead of harry potter (i shudder even typing the name) he obsesses over wings of fire. bc fuck you thats why (dragons r cool) (hp is not)
he carries around those icebreaker mint things literally everywhere. maybe its in his sample case or smth
okay so his special interests are: trains, wof, safe- and lock-picking, english, autism, and dinosaurs. he is fully aware that most of these are 'stereotypical' autism interests, and sometimes he feels bad about it. and then he remembers that No One Else Matters and everythings good again
his relationship with shawn is the kind where he just feels more and more happy being with him and never realizes that hes in love with shawn. this is the only reason canon shawngus didnt happen/j
I think it's so interesting that Shawn isn't just a silly stupid character all the time and most certainly has an almost dark undertone to his character sometimes. I can't explain it but under all the smiles, the jokes, the teasing he seems to have a far more bitter and irritable personality. You can see it a lot i think if you rewatch the first episode compared to where i am rn for example in season 3/4 even.
"she would be so silly. she would be a girl in the world being silly. the show would be so fun and idk i feel like it would just improve everything about her. plus it would probably make her happy for like once idk. something about her relationship with her dad would get fixed idk how to explain that tho. she’s babygirl your honor and i love her" - @vampirerodeo779
