saying F U to the regime again and again: a quick update on women vs IR regime

Famous Iranian actresses have been appearing in public without a mandatory hijab. This has been happening since the beginning of the protests. Last month, Kiumars Pourahmad, a well known Iranian screenwriter and director, committed suicide. He had a history of criticizing the regime's political decisions. At his funeral, some of the famous actresses attended without mandatory hijab.

You can see Fateme Motamedarya, Katayoun Riyahi, and Golab Adineh in these pictures from the funeral. Ms. Riyahi was one of the first celebrities who took her hijab off at the start of the Jina (Mahsa) Amini protest and for that she's been the target of IRGC harassment and has been to court.

Last week, in the ceremony of screening of the final episode of Lion's Skin (a persian crime show), actress Pantea Bahram participated without hijab. The manager of Tehran’s Lotus Cinema, where the ceremony was held, was fired for letting her attend without hijab.

Other than prosecution, the regime has blocked these celebrities' bank accounts. Basij and IRGC members have also attacked and harassed these women online and in real life.

Students on university campuses take off their hijabs. There's an installed version of morality police in universities that monitor students' styles. Female students must wear "appropriate" hijab and male students must wear "manly" clothes (one of my guy friends once was asked to go back home and change his shoes because they were red casual loafers. Apparently that's gay!). When you enroll in Iranian universities, the first thing you do is to go to the security office and sign an agreement that says you promise to follow the Islamic dress code. There are posters all over the campus that says things like "hijab is security" "respect the islamic hijab" and "not wearing appropriate hijab (tight short clothes, too much hair, makeup, etc) would result in legal action". So not wearing hijab on campus, where a lot of security cameras are installed and it's easy to identify you, is a big deal.

The regime's response to students taking off their hijabs is sending threatening messages to students' phones and increasing the security people. At the entrance of Universities, these security forces check people's clothes and if it's not proper they won't let you in. Some of the students wear the hijab at the entrance and take it off after they're in. They have warned our professors to not let non hijabi students sit in classes too.

One of my favorite trends in Iran now is when guys wear our hijab. These pictures are from universities. Guys wearing hijab make the security mad. This is a great act of solidarity with women against the obligatory hijab.

Some men have been doing either this or wearing shorts in public. The former is to ridicule the obligatory dress code and the latter is because wearing shorts in public is forbidden for guys too.

And women not wearing hijab in general. Though hijab is not our only issue, we want a whole new political system, one that is not theocratic or terroristic, hijab is something the regime won't back down from because it's one of their strongest oppressing tools. If they let us win the fight against obligatory hijab, I quote from a regime head, "people keep demanding more changes"!

So to put people against people to enforce the hijab law again, the regime has closed down many businesses (hotels, cafes, malls, bookstores, etc) for welcoming non hijabi female costumers. They have also warned taxi and bus drivers to not let non hijabi women in their vehicles.

Although not everyone is disobeying the hijab law (some believe in hijab, some don't want to pay the price), the number of women who take the risk and don't wear hijab in Tehran and many other cities is high enough that you feel encouraged to keep doing it.

Since you did latina can you do arab that would be so cute plsss i love your fics its my favourite fics i have ever read

AHAH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! *crackles knuckles and rolls neck* it’s my time to shine.

This list has a special place in my heart since I’m Arab. Idk why I didn’t do this sooner but….

here is a list of things I think would happen if Bucky dated an Arab!reader

disclaimer: credits to original creator/poster of image/gif. found on google/Pinterest

1. He would absolutely terrified of your mom and aunts.

You would warn him about them before you brought him home for the first time but nothing could prepare him for awaited him. The moment you stepped foot inside, your mom and aunt were upon him, touching, poking, grabbing, everything. They were all over him as he looked at you with wide eyes that begged to help him. You tried but your mom hit your hand with a sharp “khalas” as she leads him into the kitchen. Your dad is useless and backs away with his hands up when you look to him for help.

“Mami, bi sharafak. Give him some breathing room,” you gently demand as to not turn her attention to you.

Bucky’s gentle smile and even kinder eyes warrant even more commotion from the herd of women around him. They finally let him go after thoroughly interrogating him about everything under the sun and he instantly finds you. Wrapping his arm around you and pressing a kiss to your hair, he whispers to you that you’re not allowed to ever leave him alone with them again. When you ask him why, all he mumbles is something along the lines of “some many questions and the touching.”

“Food?” You ask as a peace offering and he happily accepts it.

2. Whenever he’s around you, he literally doesn’t stop complimenting you.

Maybe it’s your perfume, maybe it’s the way you style your hair, or maybe it’s your outfit that day. No matter what, he is ALWAYS complimenting you.

You have about 40 bottles of perfume but there are few that he loves more and will ask if you can wear them more often. At first, he would just casually mention that he liked how you smelled that day but the longer you’re together, the more obvious he is about it. He goes from asking if you can wear the gold one to straight up picking your perfume out for the day. It’s become a little routine at this point; when you’re getting dressed, he’ll pick something out and help you put it on. You’re perfectly capable of doing it yourself but it’s an excuse to have him close and to feel his hands on you. His favorite and the one he picks the most is the one that your mom got you as a graduation gift. You asked him one day why he liked it so much and he told you that it was what you wore the day you two met. That and it smells like “oranges and summer.”

Bucky is OBSESSED with your hair, maybe more than your perfume collection. It’s usually blown out and styled so he can’t touch it but it’s all over when you leave it natural. Of course he’s a gentleman and will ask if it’s okay to play with it before fully twisting his hand into your curls. They’re almost like a fidget toy for him; he’ll toy with a curl when you’re cuddling on the couch. If you’re in public, he’s gently massaging the base of your neck and playing with the little ringlets that live there. If you need to wash it, he’s right there with all of your products in hand. If you need to put it up, he’s already behind you and gathering your hair for you.

3. If you’re Muslim, he would try so hard to understand your religion.

I genuinely don’t believe that Bucky knows anything about Islam prior to meeting you. It’s possible he met a few Muslims in the 30s and 40s since he lived in Brooklyn but he knows nothing about Islam.

To put it mildly, America is a very interesting place when it comes to the Middle East and Islam and a lot of the information he gets at first is contradictory. When he learns that you’re Arab and also Muslim, he tries to do as much research as he can but ends up getting pissed off and stops. He’s not frustrated due to a lack of understanding, he’s livid that new sources are allowed to say whatever they want and no one stops it.

The following convo is just one example of when this happens:

Aside from wanting to never use the internet again, he’d take the time to sit down and talk to you about your different holidays so when they come around so that he understands what’s going on. He’d buy an English translation of the Qur'an so he can read with you. You’ve offered to read yours in English but he’s adamant that he wants his own. It’s adorable really.

I think he would try really hard to learn Arabic so that he can understand Islam better but it’s a very diffcult language to master. What’s even cuter though is watching him study a word and you can see those big beautiful blue eyes scan it over and over again as he thinks about how to say it. You don’t even try to help him as you sit back and shamelessly watch him. Your Arabic lessons usually end with him whispering “تقبرني” (taqburni) against your lips.

Decoding Funeral Etiquette: What Every Guest Needs to Know

Navigating the complexities of funeral etiquette is essential as you pay respects at a funeral, a memorial service, or during the process of funeral planning. Understanding the basic principles, from what flowers to bring as a sign of sympathy to the appropriate attire for a funeral, burial, or cremation service, helps honor the deceased and support those in grief.

This article provides a comprehensive guide to funeral etiquette, including insights on how to express condolences, the significance of different funeral customs, and the dos and don'ts surrounding caskets, coffins, and memorial services. By considering these guidelines, you can approach these solemn occasions with sensitivity and respect.

Understanding Funeral Etiquette: Basic Principles

Importance of Empathy and Respect

Understanding and respecting the emotional state of the bereaved is fundamental in funeral etiquette. Displaying empathy, such as offering comforting words or simply being present, can significantly aid those grieving. It's crucial to approach each situation with sensitivity, acknowledging that this might be one of the most challenging periods in someone's life. Remember, it's not about saying the perfect thing but about showing that you care and respect their feelings and the memory of the deceased.

Social Norms and Expectations

Funeral etiquette also involves adhering to certain social norms and expectations. These include arriving on time, dressing appropriately, and maintaining a demeanor that reflects the solemnity of the occasion. It's important to engage in gestures of respect such as signing the guest book, participating in rituals, and offering condolences to the family, which underscore your support and respect for the bereaved and the deceased.

Cultural and Religious Considerations

Every culture and religion has its specific customs surrounding death. Whether it's the immediate burial practices of Islamic traditions, the shiva in Judaism, or the wearing of white instead of black at Hindu funerals, being aware of these practices can help avoid misunderstandings and display deep respect for the bereaved's cultural and religious sentiments. When in doubt, it's advisable to ask questions discreetly or do prior research to ensure that your actions align with the expected practices.

Deciding What to Wear to a Funeral

Common Attire Guidelines

When you're deciding what to wear to a funeral, it's generally best to opt for conservative and respectful attire. This typically means business-type clothing that wouldn't be out of place in a serious professional setting. For men, a suit with a collared shirt and tie or smart slacks with a sport coat are considered appropriate. Women can choose a suit with a skirt or pants in a dark, solid color, or a conservative dress with a sweater or blazer. It's important to ensure that any skirts or dresses are of an appropriate length, ideally reaching the knees.

Variations Based on Culture and Family Wishes

Funeral attire can vary significantly based on cultural norms and specific requests from the family of the deceased. In many Western cultures, dark colors like black, navy, or gray are standard. However, some families may request more specific attire to reflect the personality or preferences of the deceased, such as asking mourners to wear the favorite color of the person who has passed away. It's also not uncommon for cultural differences to influence attire choices; for example, white is traditionally worn at funerals in Hindu and Sikh cultures.

Appropriate Colors and Styles

While black remains the most traditional choice for funeral attire, other dark colors such as navy, charcoal, or dark green are also acceptable and can be a respectful alternative. It's advisable to avoid bright and flashy colors, as well as overly casual items like jeans and sneakers. The focus should be on subtlety and respect, not standing out. When in doubt, opting for muted tones and simple, unadorned styles will generally be appropriate. If you are uncertain about the dress code, especially if the funeral might have unique elements like a celebration of life service, don't hesitate to ask the family or the funeral director for guidance.

How to Offer Condolences and Support

Choosing the Right Words

Offering condolences sensitively begins with choosing the right words. Simple expressions like "I am so sorry for your loss" or "You and your loved one are in my thoughts and prayers" are universally appreciated and can convey your sympathy without overwhelming the bereaved. Personalize your message based on your relationship with the person; for example, mentioning a cherished memory can show genuine care and connection. Remember, the goal is to express support and acknowledge the loss, not to provide explanations or diminish the pain.

Appropriate Actions and Gestures

Actions often speak louder than words when offering support during a time of grief. Practical gestures like sending a sympathy card, making a phone call, or offering to help with daily tasks can significantly alleviate the stress on the bereaved. Consider specific offers of help, such as preparing meals, assisting with funeral arrangements, or simply being there to listen. These actions demonstrate your commitment to providing support and show that you are there for them in any capacity they need.

The Impact of Presence and Listening

Just being present can be one of the most powerful ways to support someone who is grieving. Your presence at a funeral or memorial service signifies respect and solidarity. Listening is equally important; allowing the bereaved to share their thoughts and feelings without judgment can offer immense relief. Be patient and provide a comforting presence, whether that involves engaging in conversation or sitting in supportive silence. This approach helps the bereaved feel understood and less isolated in their grief.

Guidelines for Bringing Children to Funeral Services

Age Considerations

When deciding whether children should attend a funeral, consider their age and understanding of death. Young children may not grasp the concept of permanence associated with death, which can lead to confusion. For children aged 5 to 7, who start to comprehend the finality of death, attending a funeral can be part of their grieving process and help them say goodbye. Always ensure the decision is age-appropriate and consider the child's emotional maturity.

Preparing Children for What to Expect

It's crucial to prepare children for what they will encounter at a funeral to reduce anxiety. Explain the setting and proceedings of a funeral, including the presence of a casket or urn, and the types of emotions they might observe. Use simple, truthful language to describe the sensory experiences they might have, such as the scent of flowers or the sight of a loved one in a casket. Preparing them for the variety of emotions they will witness, from sadness to laughter, helps normalize the experience.

Behaviors and Activities for Children

Offering children a role in the ceremony can help them engage with the process and express their grief. Suggestions for involvement include reading a poem, singing a song, or participating in a tribute during the service. For younger children, provide quiet activities like drawing or soft toys to comfort them. It's important to give children the option to participate or observe, ensuring they feel safe and supported throughout the event. Always have a trusted adult ready to take them aside for a break if they feel overwhelmed.

After the Funeral: Continuing Support for the Bereaved

Follow-Up and Check-Ins

After the funeral services conclude, it's crucial to continue offering support as the bereaved navigate through their grief. The initial flurry of activities surrounding the funeral may give way to a profound sense of solitude for the bereaved. Regular check-ins can make a significant difference. A simple phone call or message to let them know you're thinking of them can be very comforting. It’s thoughtful to offer specific assistance, such as helping with groceries or inviting them for a coffee or a meal, which can provide both practical help and a reason to step out.

Meaningful Gestures of Support

Small acts of kindness can have a big impact during the extended healing time. Consider sending a "Thinking of You" card a few weeks after the funeral or on the anniversary of the death. These gestures remind the bereaved that they are not alone and that their loss is remembered. Practical support, like dropping off a meal or helping with household chores, can also be invaluable, reducing the day-to-day stress on someone dealing with intense emotional pain.

Remembering Important Dates and Anniversaries

Dates that mark anniversaries, birthdays, and holidays can be particularly challenging for those who are grieving. Reaching out during these times can show enduring support and companionship. A thoughtful note or a call on these significant dates acknowledges the continuing impact of the loss and can help the bereaved feel connected and supported. Sharing memories or stories of the deceased can also be a comforting way to honor their life and help keep their memory alive in the hearts of loved ones.

Conclusion

Navigating the waters of funeral etiquette is more than just adhering to traditions; it's a profound way to express our compassion and respect during times of loss. This guide has traversed the essential aspects of funeral etiquette, from the attire that befits the solemnity of the occasion to the sensitive offering of condolences and support that recognizes the unique pain of bereavement. By embracing these guidelines, we ensure that our presence at these significant moments reflects our deepest respect for the deceased and our heartfelt support for those they leave behind.

The significance of these practices extends beyond the immediate gestures of empathy and respect; they foster a sense of community and shared mourning that is crucial in the healing process. As we continue to support the bereaved in the days and months following the funeral, our actions reaffirm the enduring nature of love and memory. In honoring these traditions and embracing the role of comforter with grace, we not only pay our respects but also contribute to the collective journey of healing and remembrance.

FAQs

Exploring the Modern Elegance of Women's Open Abayas

The open abaya, a contemporary twist on traditional Islamic attire, has become a symbol of modern elegance and versatility in women's fashion. This garment, often characterized by its loose-fitting, flowing silhouette and open front, offers a blend of tradition and innovation, reflecting both cultural heritage and modern sensibilities.

Historically, the abaya is a traditional piece of clothing worn by women in many Muslim-majority countries, designed to cover the body in a modest manner. Traditionally, abayas are closed and wrap around the body, but the open abaya introduces a fresh perspective on this timeless garment. This modern adaptation retains the core principle of modesty while allowing for greater style flexibility and personal expression.

One of the key features of the open abaya is its versatility. Unlike its traditional counterpart, the open abaya can be easily layered over other outfits, such as dresses, skirts, or trousers. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for a variety of occasions, from casual outings to formal events. The open design also allows for creative experimentation with accessories and footwear, enabling women to express their individual style while maintaining modesty.

The open abaya is available in a wide range of fabrics, colors, and embellishments, reflecting the diverse tastes and preferences of modern women. From lightweight chiffons and soft silks to more structured crepes and wools, the choice of material can significantly impact the overall look and feel of the garment. Additionally, open abayas come in various colors, from classic blacks and neutrals to vibrant hues and intricate patterns, offering a spectrum of options for different seasons and occasions.

Designers have embraced the open abaya's potential for innovation, incorporating elements such as embroidery, beading, and even intricate lace details. These embellishments can elevate the garment from a simple cover-up to a statement piece, making it suitable for special occasions such as weddings, religious celebrations, and formal gatherings.

Whether worn for religious reasons, cultural significance, or simply as a style statement, head scarves can transform an outfit and express individuality. This article explores the myriad ways to wear head scarves, their historical and cultural significance, and tips for choosing the perfect scarf to complement your style.

The Historical and Cultural Significance of Head Scarves

Head scarves have been worn for centuries across various cultures and civilizations. They serve as symbols of modesty, religious devotion, and social status, while also being practical accessories for protection against the elements.

1. Ancient Civilizations

In ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome, head scarves were worn by both men and women for protection from the sun and as a mark of social status. The material and design of the scarves often indicated the wearer’s wealth and rank in society.

2. Religious Significance

Head scarves hold deep religious significance in many cultures. In Islam, the hijab is worn by Muslim women as a symbol of modesty and faith. In Christianity, nuns and some sects of orthodox Christians wear head coverings during worship. Jewish women may wear scarves or wigs as part of religious observance.

3. Cultural Symbolism

In various cultures, head scarves are worn during significant life events such as weddings, funerals, and festivals. They are also a symbol of cultural identity and pride, with different regions boasting unique styles and methods of tying scarves.

Styling Scarves on Head: A Versatile Fashion Statement

The beauty of head scarves lies in their versatility. They can be styled in numerous ways to suit different occasions, outfits, and personal preferences. Here are some popular methods for wearing head scarves.

1. The Classic Wrap

The classic wrap is a timeless style that is both elegant and simple. To achieve this look, drape the scarf over your head with one end longer than the other. Wrap the longer end around your head and tuck it under the shorter end at the nape of your neck. This style is perfect for both casual and formal occasions.

2. The Turban Style

The turban style is a chic and trendy way to wear a head scarf. Fold the scarf into a triangle and place the middle of the long side at the nape of your neck. Bring the ends to the front and twist them together, then wrap them around your head and tuck the ends in securely. This style adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit.

3. The Headband Wrap

For a playful and youthful look, try the headband wrap. Fold a long scarf into a narrow band and wrap it around your head, tying a knot or bow at the top or side. This style is great for keeping hair out of your face and adding a pop of color to your ensemble.

4. The Loose Drape

The loose drape is perfect for a relaxed and bohemian vibe. Drape the scarf over your head, letting the ends fall loosely around your shoulders. Secure the scarf with a brooch or pin at the side for added flair. This style works well with flowy dresses and casual wear.

Choosing the Perfect Head Scarf

Selecting the right scarf is crucial for achieving the desired look and ensuring comfort. Here are some tips for choosing the perfect head scarf.

1. Fabric and Texture

Cotton: Cotton scarves are breathable and comfortable, perfect for everyday wear. They are easy to style and maintain.

Wool: Wool scarves provide warmth and are great for colder weather. They come in various textures, from smooth to chunky knits.

Synthetic Fabrics: These are versatile and often more affordable. They can mimic the look and feel of natural fabrics like silk and wool.

2. Size and Shape

Square Scarves: These are versatile and can be folded in various ways to create different looks.

Rectangle Scarves: Ideal for wrapping and draping, rectangle scarves offer more length and styling options.

Triangle Scarves: These are easy to style and provide a unique shape that is perfect for turban styles and loose drapes.

Patterns: Floral, geometric, and abstract patterns can add visual interest and make a statement.

Hand Wash: Delicate fabrics like silk and wool should be hand washed with a gentle detergent.
