Flashing Lights Warning ⚠️
Heard about the protests in the country of Georgia and how the cops were using rubber bullets, water cannons and tear gas and more
Then a dude (who I call Firework Man) pulled up with a firework minigun and it brought to mind some metal gear music
EDIT: Update, I have come to find out that the individual in the video was in fact Firework Woman 👍

Today marks one year anniversary of 2022 Iranian uprising against the oppressive Islamic Republic regime. An uprising that started with the brutal murder of a young kurd woman, Mahsa Jina Amini, for "inappropriate hijab".
For the past couple of weeks, the regime has prepared their forces to beat down any new movement immediately. The streets of Tehran and many other cities are lined with anti riot forces and police cars. In Saqez, the home city of Amini family, they've stationed the army around the city to massacre people in case they try to start another wave of protest. Mahsa's father has been arrested alongside some family members of other last year uprising martyrs.
There has been small protesting gatherings in Iran in the last two days, there has already been some arrests and violent crackdowns on protesters. I hear people chanting from my neighborhood homes. The government would commit as many bloodbaths as it takes to secure their position, but you can't beat people into obedience when they hate you from the bottom of their hearts.

Maybe the problem with Christian fiction is that it's non-denominational. People are just "Christian", with no effort put into showing what practicing that religion looks like for them specifically. No indication that there are other Christians who could have different beliefs. No wrestling with differing ideas and the struggle of how one should live out their Christian faith. And that makes it unrealistic and unrelatable.
#me reading any christian historical fiction set in england: why are none of these gentry anglican??#they ARE all anglican and if they are not it is extremely plot and character relevant you can't just have them using evangelical buzzwords#but i'm also thinking of this because i started another charlotte yonge book#that is by far my favorite of the things of hers that i've read#because it has characters who have different upbringings and religious opinions#instead of just 'here's a bunch of high church anglicans judging people who don't live up to their victorian standard'#you have the very high church anglican rector whose wife is worldly but still a very good person#the girl raised in a very strict protestant family who is more scrupulous than the anglicans but is still recognized as a good person#you have people who are trying to work out the nuances of different issues#and that makes it so much more realistic and so much easier to integrate into the story#(the politics though are hilarious)#(most of the classics that survive are the ones that were 'ahead of their time' in politics)#(so it's equally fascinating and refreshing and a bit infuriating to see one that is very very of its time with regards to women's rights)#('why did this woman get up at the meeting and explain her very good ideas for rebuilding after the fire? she should have had a man do it')#(meanwhile i'm just screaming 'why on earth SHOULDN'T she???')#(it's almost enough to make a feminist of me)

update on Toomaj Salehi, the Iranian rapper who supported the protests in '22 and '23. His lawyer has told the press Salehi has been sentenced to death today. There's still the possibility to appeal, which they will. However, it's not an anomaly. More protesters have been sentenced to death. (source)

Average historian denies all gay relationships statistic false!
No-Lesbians Ruth Franklin, who lives in an archive and denies any possible sapphic interpretation of Shirley Jackson’s work 50 times a day, is an outlier adn should not be counted
#biography#Shirley Jackson#seriously “a rather haunted life“ it is so good in most ways#but this woman seems to be like. Personally offended that anyone could possibly read anything sapphic into any of Jackson’s novels#I get it; she wrote that whole document freaking out that someone interpreted Hangsaman as#‘about lesbians’#but still there are a number of things she wrote where it takes an incredibly stubborn reading to not at least see that interpretation#(And I’m not fully sure that document was so much about objecting to Sapphic interpretations of her work#(as it was being upset at the idea of her central theme is not coming across in favor of other themes she’s considered less important#(besides which it gets into some incredibly interesting introspection about why she is “afraid of a word [lesbian]“#in ways that have a lot of people saying “the lady doth protest too much“

Sonya Massey, a black woman was shot three times, one being a fatal headshot in her own home for holding a pot of hot water, when she had called in the police for a prowler outside of her house.
she was shot. in. her. house. for saying "i rebuke you in the name of jesus". that's all. it took less than five seconds for Sean Grayson to whip out his pistol. said attackers partner offered first aid but he refused it because "it's a headshot, she's dead".
because no one can testify against you if they're dead.
the cops name is Sean Grayson, and he should never be able to leave prison.
this was not an "incident". this was a murder. do NOT let people forget her name.
BLACK LIVES MATTER!
tw below for gunfire. the death however is off camera and not visible.

#blm#black lives matter#diggstalks#heavy subject but my heart is fucking breaking over this#i don't have to suffer like that woman because i have the privilege of being mixed#and not being as darkskinned#but it's still fucking nauseating#that woman was a mother. she had a son.#she's dead and for what??#for fucking what#she's just dead and she didn't have to be#it's fucking disgusting#i have to talk abt it#I'm gonna look into local protests#my hearts breaking over this#im not religious but why would a god let this happen to his believer#Youtube

As an Iranian person
Nothing in my life is more shameful and pitiful and embarrassing than seeing people who support the corrupt government of my country without knowing the slightest thing
Just go search (mahsa amini) or something
So that you might be a little ashamed of your behavior and support of an dictator

Couldn’t defeat the rapist cheeto through votes? Kay. Murder it is!
#im sorry but people who didn’t vote are just as culpable. you disguise inactivity as protest and expect progress#a coward is worse than a loser ^^ and you failed your peers worse than any right wing dick sucker#for trump supporters. I hope you have a poc loved one . a queer loved one. a loved one who’s a woman.#a loved one who’s an immigrant. a loved one who’s a minority. I hope you love them and I hope they love you. and I hope you lose them.#I don’t want anything bad to happen to them. I want you to lose them tho.#I truly don’t think you’ll understand otherwise#us elections#us politics

Claudia Black and Ben Browder being captains of their own ship since 1999.
ComicCon 2009 Wintercon 2019 Wintercon 2023
#farscape#john x aeryn#claudia black#ben browder#the show's creator did plan for it to be a love story btwn John x Aeryn#but Ben and Claudia wanted to have as much input as possible to make sure it stayed that way#and the show was very collaborative so they did have a lot of input#and they made a lot of really great acting choices#in 2019 Claudia said there had been a storyline that didn't sit well with either of them#because they felt that John and Aeryn only had their hearts on each other#but it sounds like they were bringing in another woman for John to have a thing with ig#idk if they're talking about Jenavian in LATP#but I know Ben protested against that#but he didn't win that time ugh#the vid from 2019 is mine#sorry for the camera work#i was trying to film with my phone but also making sure I was in the moment#and actually watching the panel with my own eyes and not through my phone screen#so sometimes it went off-center#my gifs#my gifs: farscape

Blogging this as I fall asleep but as a dedicated cat dad I do, in fact, brush Taiga's teeth every night before bed and
I snapped a picture of the process today
The primordial look of horror and protest - xD
#arcana brainbroth rambles#cats of tumblr#pain#agony even#shes actually just a super talkative kitty#we love a woman who makes her voice and opinions known#she doth protest indeed but shes overall pretty chill with the moritfying ordeal of at home dental upkeep#i talk to her every thirty minutes as she walks by meowing at the top of her lungs like#baby#i see you. i love you. i hear you. i do not understand you.#am i listening to your opinions? yes. do i intend on disregarding them? unfortunately also yes.

There have been reports after reports of gas poisoning at girls schools in mostly Qom, a religious city that is important to the regime. The weird thing is that the poisoning is only happening in girls schools (students are separated by gender at school). Many believe it might be intentional and the regime is trying to keep girls from coming to school by making it unsafe for them.
