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

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. 

To support the fight for Niloufar’s freedom, visit the SAR page linked above and select “Take Action” or sign the ongoing petition, available here: https://www.change.org/p/call-for-release-of-niloufar-bayani-and-environmental-conservationists-detained-in-iran?utm_content=cl_sharecopy_35524276_fr-FR%3A7&recruiter=43431080&recruited_by_id=e7b37430-6a01-0130-6579-3c764e049b10&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial&utm_term=07acd98e58714c3391e14c301b09027b&share_bandit_exp=initial-35524276-en-US

Many scholars including Niloufar Bayani and the conservationists of the Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation continue to be held at Evin Prison. It has now been 2105 days since their arrest! They are just one groups of brave, talented, intelligent people are unjustly imprisoned at Evin.

Though it has been a year since the fire at Evin, prisoners still continue to be tortured, mistreated and subjected to extended isolation (8 months in Niloufar's case, before she was even charged.)

Please spread awareness of the immorality of Evin and the regime behind it, and consider signing the petition to call for Niloufar and her colleagues' release.

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!

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.

I hate the fact that the drawing looked better without coloring

Twinkle and Niloufar in a drawing together.

Twinkle is the doodle oc and my pfp (20)

Niloufar is my phone oc (19)

Isn’t epic that I finally have a name for Niloufar :3

They’re my crossover and joke ship btw

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!

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.

2081 Days

It has been 2081 days since the arrest of Nilofaur Bayani and the Persian Wildlife Heritage Fund.

Houman Jowkar

Niloufar Bayani

Sepideh Kashani

Morad Tahbaz (released in September 2023)

Abdolreza Kouhpayeh

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.

Ninjago friends i need your help. I made these fucks and decided to make an entire realm they come from. Any suggestions for names for the species or realm?

Some notes about them:

- immortal, they don't die of old age. Incredibly hard to kill and often will simply reform unless remants are tainted somehow.

- reality and mind benders, even weak ones are fully capable of creating pocket dimensions.

- shape shifters.

- they don't all look like the ones I showed! Jadu, Niloufar, and Nima are just part of the royal family (also includes the queen and king, who are anciet and. Very scary). They can come in most any form, colors, or size.

Thats all please give suggestions 🙏
