Yes, his name is Gorm Meister.

His name was going to be Niloufar, but I forgot that was his unofficial name before telling my buddy that his name is Gorm.

Imaginary maroon coloured stamp of Niloufar Hamedi and Elaheh Mohammadi, journalists who broke the story of Mahsa Jina Amini's death. Decorative borders of the stamp show their names, the word Iran, 2022-2023, and Woman Life Freedom. They have been in prison since 2022 and have stood closed-door trials for accusations of spying that have been condemned internationally.

“In my 15 years of professional activity, I only stepped on the path of reflecting people's voices and improving their lives. [...] I have had no connection with any foreign government, and I am proud to stay with the people to be their voice." - Elaheh Mohammadi

The Falling Star by Marcel Antonio (2014)

They should not have fastened— her lids—each time I licked the inner star of her thighs but they did come together, they did come into each other, those black lashes.

Niloufar Bayani

We are a group of university students who are working with Scholars at Risk to raise awareness about imprisoned scholars across the world. We are currently focusing on the case of imprisoned Iranian environmental activist and conservationist Niloufar Bayani, who has been detained since 2018 on charges of espionage. She is being held in a women’s prison in Iran, and has continued her environmental advocacy while imprisoned, surveying other political prisoners on the climate disaster, holding climate seminars and publishing a manuscript on climate literacy amongst her fellow inmates and at large. She and her fellow prisoners also released an open letter to the Iranian government, calling for climate action. Despite her circumstances, she has continued to advocate for climate action by the Iranian government, and the safeguarding of Iran’s environment. 

If you are interested in the perspective on the climate disaster of a highly knowledgeable conservationist, Iranian woman and imprisoned scholar, consider reading her manuscript.  

More information on the her scholarly work, the circumstances of her imprisonment and how to support SARs efforts to free her can be found here: https://www.scholarsatrisk.org/actions/niloufar-bayani-iran/#Niloufar%20Bayani 

Information on her detained colleagues and updates on her case can be found here:

The imprisoned women’s open letter and demands for change can be found here: 

Those already involved in climate advocacy, please continue to do so. Even if Niloufar is not freed, by continuing to push for environmental safeguards and climate action, we are supporting the cause she has dedicated her life to. 

If you are not currently involved in climate advocacy, Niloufar’s work is a great place to start to educate yourself on the climate crisis and what we should be moving towards. It is here for you if you are interested.

Aged to Perfection

by Niloufar Lamakan 

A 1 star review

Publisher ‏ : ‎ One More Chapter (February 7, 2025)

Publication date ‏ : ‎ February 7, 2025

Print length ‏ : ‎ 401 pages

"Sophia is determined to grow old disgracefully and refuses to be invisible. She craves fiery passion and steamy romance, not targeted ads for funeral plans. After a heart-shattering breakup, she ditches love to date a new man each week for a year.

As she flirts, fumbles and sips fizz through an array of encounters, from an opera buff in a cape to an orgasm whisperer, she discovers it's never too late to rewrite your own love story, even if it's not the one you expected…"

I liked the idea of a 60-year-old woman diving into the dating world again. I didn't care for the diary format, a la Bridget Jones, plus taking it by the time of day, who writes a diary that way. I never connected emotionally with Sophia which made it impossible to get into the plot. If you don't care about the characters you can't care about the story. I picked up the book and put it back down a few times, I skipped around the story hoping to find a spot that held my interest. I guess the premise of sex and the single woman wasn't for me.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The conservationists who were monitoring the Asiatic Cheetah population were imprisoned by the Iranian Government in January 2018. They were charged with espionage for using camera traps to track the cheetah population. 9 conservationists remain imprisoned, while the co founder of the Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation, Kavous Seyed-Emami, died shortly after in prison.

It is absolutely tragic that Pirouz has passed, and that the people who were fighting to protect his species and could have helped, remain imprisoned.

Death of Pirouz

Not-So-Fun Fact, given the context of this story: Pirouz (پیروز) is Persian for "victor" (or "victorious," depending on how it's used in a sentence).

Pirouz (the sweet little baby pictured above) was the last surviving Asiatic cheetah cub born in captivity in Iran, and he passed away on Tuesday due to kidney failure. Besides the fact that he [obviously] was a precious baby, everyone is angry and heartbroken by his passing, because he had become a symbol for the revolution. Shervin Hajipour had even alluded to him and the delicate nature of his existence in his GRAMMY-winning song "Baraye."

This reflects another dimension of the pain and suffering caused by the regime. With their blatant disregard for environmental issues and tendency to suppress environmental activists, it is not much of a surprise that this tragedy also took place. (And this isn't even taking into account the suspicions that they had a hand in his death.) While there is still a great deal that remains unknown, considering that one of his siblings also had died due to health complications, it's probable that he and his siblings were not bred in the best conditions. Furthermore, it's highly likely that limitations in resources prevented them from receiving the care that they needed, despite their caretakers' best efforts.

As for Pirouz himself, I'm absolutely heartbroken, and I cannot stop crying right now. Sadly, he is another victim of the regime. I just hope that his last moments weren't painful. From the perspective of the revolution, I hope that his death does not signify the death of potential victory for the revolution, considering the meaning of his name and his status as a symbol.

Now, let's fight for Pirouz in both senses of the word as used in this post: The poor baby himself and the pirouzi (پیروزی) (i.e., 'victory') of the revolution.

7 of the PWHF conservationists remain in prison today: Taher Ghadirian, Sam Rajabi, Houman Jowkar, Sepideh Kashani, Amirhossein Khaleghi, Abdolreza Kouhpayeh and Nilofaur Bayani.

Morad Tahbaz was released recently on the 18th of September 2023, and Kavous Seyed-Emami, co founder of the PWHF died in custody on the 8th of February 2018.

Amnesty International cites evidence that the conservationists' trial was unfair, due to the use of torture to extract false confessions. Nilofaur was sentenced to 10 years and 4 months in prison, and she attests that her confession was extracted with torture, and she later retracted her confession.

This is actually for all my Jewish Mutuals. Especially @cephalopodvictorious @captainlordauditor @the-ships-to-rule-them-all and like jewishlivesmatter but everyone

The golem is too small - but the children who make him, who hand him to their baby siblings to hold who have shaped him with small hands - they make a friend. From the very first children of exile, little ones yearning for their home - they wished for a friend - these small babies - toddlers with halting steps and little tiny children. And so he is shaped to them - to be held.

From all soils but home, he is reshaped - small hands and prayers and hopes - little wishes along with them - from Shiraz to London to Aksum to those that remain in Yerushaláyim - children add buttons, beads, colours and love - the warmth of small hands no matter what happens.

The Golem wishes he was large, that he could protect them - but he can be with them, all the children who are lost to an endless ancient hate - a hand to hold at the end, perhaps a shield from pain.

He lives in a bright place - filled with paints, with colour and toys and he will protect it always and always - though he is very small, he can protect this place now, this little haven and the little ones who pass through the doors.

Here are the references that I used!!

The first was used as the pattern in Nilou’s outfit and the rest for the border. Lotuses hold a lot of significance in Iranian culture and are believed to be a sacred flower that signifies the transcendence of the soul + many other things. Nilou has a lot of lotus motifs in her character, starting by her name which is derived from the word Niloufar (lotus/water lily). She’s a beautiful character and I really loved doing this!
