The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.

Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”

I also think it's worth it to try out different types of greens, like I always thought of salad as being all lettuce and kale, but it turns out I really like arugula and mizuna.

i mean this in the gentlest way possible: you need to eat vegetables. you need to become comfortable with doing so. i do not care if you are a picky eater because of autism (hi, i used to be this person!), you need to find at least some vegetables you can eat. find a different way to prepare them. chances are you would like a vegetable you hate if you prepared it in a stew or roasted it with seasoning or included it as an ingredient in a recipe. just. please start eating better. potatoes and corn are not sufficient vegetables for a healthy diet.

It's dangerous because of the way it obscures misogyny, and it's also dangerous because it encourages people to think of some mental illnesses as "the bad people disorder" (and if we're talking about how bigotry causes abuse, ableism is a big one), and because it encourages people to sort the world into fixed categories of "harmful" and "harmless" people. In so many different ways, it serves to "other" people who do bad things, to distance yourself from the causes of anything harmful.

there was a tiktok I made a while ago basically saying "your abusive ex boyfriend is more likely a misogynist than a narcissist" and while most people agreed some said I was victim blaming(?) and that I couldn't know what their ex is like, and while obviously I don't, every fucking person describing their narcissistic ex is describing a typical misogynist. ask yourself, is this behavior you associate with narcissism directed at women or does he treat his male friends the same way? is his general functioning in life impaired?

many people don't seem to know this, but a mental disorder is NOT based on symptoms alone, it's based on how much the symptoms actually impair you in daily life. most people could look at a list of mental disorder symptoms and identify either themselves or someone else with them. as far as a narcissistic personality, we all know people who appear more self absorbed than others, but this is typically subclinical narcissism (presence of narcissistic traits without significant impairment of functioning) which is not a disorder. there is also a misunderstanding of what npd is. a narcissist is not a supervillain invincible to emotion. npd is a defensive reaction to trauma that lead to deep insecurity and fear of being seen as weak or vulnerable. so narcissists aren't actually "in love with themselves" at all and often are diagnosed when seeking help for other issues such as substance abuse resulting from their struggles.

this focus a lot of abused women in online pop psychology have on narcissism is particularly concerning because it completely glosses over misogyny which is literally a huge factor in violence against women. people really only know misogyny as a surface level thing. they don't know it can lead to family annihilation, for example, and is one reason most family annihilations are committed by the husband. it's always "this man is a sociopath" "this man is a narcissist" when the man's behavior is driven by ideology. I am so fucking tired of everything being tied to mental illness and left at that. you know what this leads to? courts "fixing" abusive men by...giving them anger management therapy. guess what? it doesn't fucking do anything because the problem isn't mental instability leading to anger, it's targeted, purposeful abuse. we are getting nowhere

a wonderful little fellow from Stieven Van der Poorten for REFUGIUM! I first fell in love with his work from encountering his paleo artwork -

The balance between scientific attention to detail and his natural cartooning powers bring his stuff to life in an excellent manner...

Take a look at his stuff here

And, of course, if you'd like to get a copy of our ever-growing guidebook/graphic novel, REFUGIUM, take a look at the campaign here

Everyone posting about The Sympathizer is talking about Robert Downey Jr. (he is doing a good job but I do not feel like this show should be about him) or Hoa Xuande (I love his character SO much but I did not enjoy his performance), but everyone is sleeping on Duy Nguyen as Man . . . why does IMDB say he's only in one episode, knowing the plot of the book that doesn't seem like it can be right. If they wrote him out of the ending I'm gonna be so upset . . . but there are two other explanations that seem plausible.

Whose dick do I have to suck to get people to watch "The Sympathizer." It's based on my favorite spy novel and I am preparing to be SO abnormal about it.
