Dear mutuals, followers, and random strangers: I have something to ask from you

18th to 25th February 2024 there will be a global strike for Palestine.

I understand things have been extremly depressing and you feel hopeless and so do I. But we cannot stop. I will not be silent and neither should you. Please, fight. Fight for our fellow human beings in need.

How do you support the stirke?

1. No purchasing of any kind. Online, irl, local shops, supermarkets - nothing. Make sure to gather necessities before the strike like food or higene products.

2. Don't go to work/school.

3. Speak up about Palestine and for the following week talk ONLY about it. Use your voice to support palestine people, artists, journalists etc. Don't engage in any other content and use social media only to talk about Palestine.

4. Educate yourself on palestine culture, make food and art related to palestine and post it online. Don't let Palestine die.

5. Donate. This is incredibly important.

6. Call/send letters/email your representatives about the Palestine.

7. Educate others. Organise meeting in your local library or school to talk about palestine culture.

8. Put up flyers that will inform others about situation in Palestine and encourage others to fight.

9. Go to a protest (make sure to read throughly how to do it proprly)

10. Stay safe. Don't do anything that will put you in a dangerous situation. You are important too. Take care of yourself.

11. Reblog this post. The more people know, the more can help.

There are probably more I am missing. You can do something. Please consider joining us.

There is no place for political imprisonment in a functioning, democratic society.

Evin Prison in Tehran, Iran is no ordinary prison. Since 1972 (for 50 years! Half a century!!) it has been the primary site for the housing of Iran's political prisoners. Due to the number of intellectuals, students and other elite members of the intelligentsia housed there, Evin Prison is commonly referred to as “Evin University”. Many (my own mother included) used to say “Evin prison could declare independence” (because they have everyone. From diplomats to doctors. From journalists to students.). Many of the prisoners there are more fit to run the country than the current leaders.

Evin‬⁩ is no ordinary prison. Many of Iran’s best & brightest have spent long stretches confined there, where brave women & men are denied their basic rights for speaking truth to power. The regime is responsible for what happens to those inside right now.

Political prisoners aren’t the only innocent people there. There are innocent journalists, poets, filmmakers, artists, activists and LGBTQ+ people unjustly held in that prison. All because they want basic rights. All because they want to be treated with basic human decency.

As of 3:00 pm (EST) October 15, the Evin Prison has been on fire. Many who live nearby say they heard gunshots days prior to the fire. At least 4 explosions have happened so far and there will be more.

Two days ago Mehdi Hashemi Rafsanjani, son of the former president and an Iranian elite “businessman” Aghazadeh, was released from the prison on a break and was to go back after two days. He was told not to. After two days of him not being there, the prison burns down with explosions and gunshots that can be heard from streets away. Coincidence? I think not. Even though they “arrested” one of their people, he wasn’t there when Evin caught fire. The elite will never get hurt because they ARE the regime.

Tehran is taken over by the scent of blood and smoke.

The Islamic Republic is responsible for all those lives unjustly behind bars. Tonight they commit arson in the name of arson. They will attempt to say it didn’t happen or that it was an accident. A gas leak or some other lie. They did this just like they did everything else. Here’s just to name a few:

Cinema Rex Fire (1978), Sanchi Ship (2018), Metropol Building Collapse (2022), Flight 752 (2020), Massacre of 1988, Plasco Building fire (2017), Violent raids on the dormitory of Tehran University (1999), the continues hate crimes (rapes, conversion and killings) or non-muslims, not to mention the amount of people who’ve died due to poverty and/or in protests.

Just days ago, government forces attacked an intermediate school in Ardabil, Iran. A pre-school aged girl was beaten to death (at her school, in front of her peers) for engaging in protests.

For the Islamic Republic Regime of Iran, it has always been geniuses vs. guns.

There is nothing we can do but to spread the word. To spread awareness. To make Iran-related hashtags trending again.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would use my Tumblr account, which is meant to be for me to interact with people in different fandoms all in good fun, to talk about something like this. I feel so terrified and helpless. Pease repost!

ATTENTION WOF FANDOM

A group of idiots are paying for nsfw art of wings of fire and trying to make it so that it shows in the images result if you type wof in google

While many fans are adult or older teenagers, the book series is still targeted at children, kids still pick up theses books and new fans keep coming

We need to make sure they won't find porn just for typing some random character or ship name. If we want the fandom to stay strong we have to protect younger fans too

Those assholes apparently don't know how to draw and are just commissioning artist to do it, meaning that they have to wait for their paycheck while we can, as a group, create more art that they can commission

They aren't a big group

We can do it. We have to do it.

We are searching for anyone willing to help, even if you think you can't draw that well, even if you can't draw everyday, we need you

⚠️⚠️ARTISTS⚠️⚠️

I’m saying this here as well, but this time I will try to be more clear so there won’t be any misunderstandings 👍🏼

we (me and @colorfuldreamjester lol) are looking for an artist to collaborate with us on our comic as a reference sheet artist. THIS IS NOT A COMMISSION!

we are poor and won’t be able to afford more then a chicken McNugget, we are just looking for silly goobers to help us with reference sheets because I am too messy to create one 💪🏼💪🏼

this is nothing too serious as well, I mean, we are both professional procrastinators and, @colorfuldreamjester can confirm, I don’t make pressure about the assignment getting done quickly (we choose quality over time, and I mean a LONG LONG time LMAO)

If you are not in to help, would you be so kind to repost so we can get to more people? Thank you!

stay tuned for Anima Seekers guys 💪🏼💪🏼 I SWEAR THAT THE FIRST EPISODE WILL BE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER (if we find a character sheet artist)

#art #looking for an artist #please help us #Anima Seekers #We are literally a mess #We need your help #PLEASE #GUYS #comic #comic art #comics #artists

Today my therapist introduced me to a concept surrounding disability that she called "hLep".

Which is when you - in this case, you are a disabled person - ask someone for help ("I can't drink almond milk so can you get me some whole milk?", or "Please call Donna and ask her to pick up the car for me."), and they say yes, and then they do something that is not what you asked for but is what they think you should have asked for ("I know you said you wanted whole, but I got you skim milk because it's better for you!", "I didn't want to ruin Donna's day by asking her that, so I spent your money on an expensive towing service!") And then if you get annoyed at them for ignoring what you actually asked for - and often it has already happened repeatedly - they get angry because they "were just helping you! You should be grateful!!"

And my therapist pointed out that this is not "help", it's "hLep".

Sure, it looks like help; it kind of sounds like help too; and if it was adjusted just a little bit, it could be help. But it's not help. It's hLep.

At its best, it is patronizing and makes a person feel unvalued and un-listened-to. Always, it reinforces the false idea that disabled people can't be trusted with our own care. And at its worst, it results in disabled people losing our freedom and control over our lives, and also being unable to actually access what we need to survive.

So please, when a disabled person asks you for help on something, don't be a hLeper, be a helper! In other words: they know better than you what they need, and the best way you can honor the trust they've put in you is to believe that!

Also, I want to be very clear that the "getting angry at a disabled person's attempts to point out harmful behavior" part of this makes the whole thing WAY worse. Like it'd be one thing if my roommate bought me some passive-aggressive skim milk, but then they heard what I had to say, and they apologized and did better in the future - our relationship could bounce back from that. But it is very much another thing to have a crying shouting match with someone who is furious at you for saying something they did was ableist. Like, Christ, Jessica, remind me to never ask for your support ever again! You make me feel like if I asked you to call 911, you'd order a pizza because you know I'll feel better once I eat something!!

Edit: crediting my therapist by name with her permission - this term was coined by Nahime Aguirre Mtanous!

Edit again: I made an optional follow-up to this post after seeing the responses. Might help somebody. CW for me frankly talking about how dangerous hLep really is.

#hlep #original #mental health #my sympathies and empathies to anyone who has to rely on this kind of hlep to get what they need.#the people in my life who most need to see this post are my family but even if they did I sincerely doubt they would internalize it #i've tried to break thru to them so many times it makes my head hurt. so i am focusing on boundaries and on finding other forms of support #and this thing i learned today helps me validate those boundaries. the example with the milk was from my therapist.#the example with the towing company was a real thing that happened with my parents a few months ago while I was age 28. 28!#a full adult age! it is so infantilizing as a disabled adult to seek assistance and support from ableist parents.#they were real mad i was mad tho. and the spoons i spent trying to explain it were only the latest in a long line of #huge family-related spoon expenditures. distance and the ability to enforce boundaries helps. haven't talked to sisters for literally the #longest period of my whole life. people really believe that if they love you and try to help you they can do no wrong.#and those people are NOT great allies to the chronically sick folks in their lives.#you can adore someone and still fuck up and hurt them so bad. will your pride refuse to accept what you've done and lash out instead?#or will you have courage and be kind? will you learn and grow? all of us have prejudices and practices we are not yet aware of.#no one is pure. but will you be kind? will you be a good friend? will you grow? i hope i grow. i hope i always make the choice to grow.#i hope with every year i age i get better and better at making people feel the opposite of how my family's ableism has made me feel #i will see them seen and hear them heard and smile at their smiles. make them feel smart and held and strong.#just like i do now but even better! i am always learning better ways to be kind so i don't see why i would stop

I used to think they were exaggerating when they said it could’ve been anyone but they aren’t. My 17th birthday is in 19 days. My mom keeps saying how whenever I’m in pain I call for her and to think how much Nika must’ve called for her mom as she was brutally beaten and murdered.

This is Nika Shakarami from Tehran, Iran. She should’ve been 17 today.

Just days before her birthday she went protesting with thousands of others in the streets of Tehran but didn’t return to her family that night. She was taken by government forces. After 10 days of being missing (that is 10 days that a mother didn’t know of the whereabouts of her teenage daughter, 10 days that a father didn’t know if his baby girl was alive), her dead body was found. Her nose was smashed and her skull was completely destroyed. She was identified by a birthmark and her family wasn’t allowed to see her face at first.

The government is claiming she “fell from great height” but if that was true why wouldn’t the government hand over her phone? Why would all her social media present (on Instagram, Whatsapp, Telegram) been removed as if she never had any?

I’ve heard her family is being forced to lie about her situation on national TV. Her family wasn’t allowed to hold a burial ceremony but even not doing that wasn’t enough as her body was stolen by the government and buried 40km away from where she was meant to be buried.

Please share this post. Share her story. Don’t let her be one of the many whose story was never told. Don’t let her be forgotten. Help this post reach a bigger audience.
