Women in Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan are facing significant challenges in their fight for survival and equality, yet some self-identified feminists, known as TERFs, do not acknowledge or support their struggle and revolution.

People from first world countries who dismiss middle east's pain because "that's just how things are there" are way too comfortable sharing their lack of empathy
It's funny because the moment something happens to them they're horrified. They aren't used to tragedies, these things "aren't supposed to happen to them"
But our suffering should be normalised huh?

Despite Taliban banning female university education, this young woman is standing outside Kabul University this morning with the hope that she may be able to convince the Taliban to let her in. The Taliban barbwired the main gate of Kabul University and only allow male students to enter. Female students were turned away at gunpoint.  This is beyond cruel.

HELP MY AFGHAN FRIEND LEAVE AFGHANISTAN AND STUDY IN ITALY!!! 
This young man of 24 years is a very ambitious and promising scholar, unfortunately all his hopes have been truncated by the rise of the new regime. It is important to get him out of the country and help him reach a better future. I’ve been helping him through the application process to get accepted to an MA course in Italy, but now he needs more substantial help. Consider giving him a chance to continue his education.
The platform we decided to use is a Czech one (I’m Czech) and is the only one that allowed us to collect the money even if the goal is not reached. You can make any donation you want, any amount will be helpful, just be aware it is in Czech crowns: 
1 dollar = 24,30 Kč
1 euro = 24,61 Kč
!!!IF YOU CAN’T CONTRIBUTE FINANCIALLY PLEASE AT LEAST SHARE IT!!!!
Hello,
I’m A.*, an Afghan researcher, I graduated in Archaeology and Anthropology and have decided to continue my academic formation in Italy. I have applied to the prestigious University of La Sapienza (Rome) for a master’s in Cultural Heritage and I’ve already been pre-accepted to the course, which will start in October. Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of financial means right now to embark on this journey and I need your help.
As you may know, the situation in Afghanistan is not the best, especially for people like me. As a member of the Hazara (ethic) and the Shia (religious) minorities, I have been persecuted and my family threatened more than ever before. During my studies, I had the pleasure to work with and learn from international scholars, but you can imagine how this caused even more problems in the current regime. On top of that, my brother served as a soldier under the old government, which made it very difficult for the male members of my family to find a job and provide for our needs.
In the past years, I have dedicated my research to identifying and finding ways to preserve and revive women's dances from Central Afghanistan. Sadly, this is not possible for me anymore, I have been threatened by extremists who are following my family and me because they firmly believe I have committed a sin in encouraging women to dance, and for that, I deserve severe punishment. Threats like these prompted many friends and colleagues to leave Afghanistan and reach for a better future in other countries.
I’m committed to protecting and preserving the rich culture of my country and I would like to give my best in doing so, that’s the reason why I want to continue my education abroad. Unfortunately, this proves to be much more expensive than I have imagined. Up to now, I have been in contact with friends from Italy who guided me through the process of applying for the university and for the visa, now I need to prepare everything for my departure.
The student visa to Italy alone will cost me 80 euros, which is a very high amount when you consider that my family has been surviving on $3 a day this winter. In order to apply for the visa, it is necessary to show sufficient funds to stay in Italy during the period of study, which amounts to a minimum of €6,079.45 per year. Additional money will be needed for official document translations, stamps, and administrative fees. In September, if all goes well, I should be flying from Tehran to Rome in time to enroll at university. Airfare will cost at least 800 euros and health insurance 125 euros for the year.
These expenses are really difficult for me to cover in my current situation, so I am asking for your help.  The target amount of the fundraising is 6,000 euros in order to make all the necessary arrangements. I know this is a lot of money, but if you can contribute even a small amount to this sum, I would be eternally grateful for your kindness. Finally, please share this crowdfunding page with anyone you think might be interested in contributing.

Crochet Update

I'm making the fluffiest afghan in existence.
Tumblr media
This is what the pattern's image is lol. I'm working on the middle rn. It is so fucking fluffy.
Also I don't think I showed the finished scarf I was making 🤔
Tumblr media
This lil guy. Yes. It was very good practice.
Tumblr media
I've also been working on a double crochet scarf (?) with yarn thats so small it might as well be thread hfkshfkd. It has a rly nice texture & I'm enjoying the pattern that's showing on it. Nice and crisp. Very different from the undefined fluffiness of the WIP afghan lol, though they both use double stich crochet. The afghan is turning the double stitches into V stitches though, so there are holes in it. Such is the way of an afghan, I suppose 🤔
Everywhere I've seen has cautioned against using dark yarn as a beginner bc it's hard to see your stitches with it. And Yeah, it sure fuckin is, but I've been getting by through sheer stubbornness bc I Love the color black. So I am Making black things. As is my RIGHT!!!!

I can't apologise enough that my Berena Winter event fic still isn't finished, but I'm writing every night, it's just that I've gone off on a bit of a tangent at the minute and had to research traditional Afghan children's fairytales/ stories. For reasons that are ultimately negligible in the fic but I need for authenticity and peace of mind. Sorry 😂

well I talked to the vol coordinator about helping Ukrainian refugees. They don't have specific needs at present but may in future esp if more refugees arrive.
Mainly what they need is help with English and transportation

If a person is hungry, or hurt but society does nothing to help them that person has the solemn right to burn down that society.

I'm watching videos of Afghan women marching against Taliban oppression knowing fully well that they can be killed for this but still fighting and then read russian liberals crying that they can't protest putin because they'll go to jail.

OK, so my friend's mom was making afghan and ran out of the yarn she was using and it's apparently discontinued and is only sold in very limited places (Here's her vid explaining). Anyhoo, the yarn is called Big Twist Hush with the color being Birch, so if y'all know anywhere that has it please send a message to me here or to her tiktok so that we can get her that yarn and she can finish that afghan!!!

First Iran, then Afghanistan! This fight has to spread. Afghan women need our support and we will be there for them. No woman should live in oppression. 
On Friday, there was a suicide bomb attach in western Kabul at the Kaj education center in Dasht-e-Barchi, home to a large Hazara community. Death toll is now at 35, mostly girls. More than 82 people have been wounded. Here’s the full article on it: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/10/1/kabul-attack-death-toll-rises-to-35-mostly-girls-young-women
