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?”

while I do agree with the core idea of pointing out that one big originator of the trope of white haired tragic corruption arc villains in animanga is elric, it does feel like a lot of those discussions undercut their central point by not mentioning that a big part of it is literally just "manga is printed in black and white, and if you don't have the time for hatching or the resources to apply screentone, hair will be either black or white"

if you kinda default to "hair coloured black will appear black" when colouring, then the natural extension of that is more likely than not "hair that's left uncoloured will appear white (or blonde)"

wakaba shinohara makes me fucking insane. you are the main character’s best friend and you know it. you do your best to keep her from harm and still you fail because she is the main character, and you don’t even know the extent of what she’s going through, and you’re not around for long enough to find out because you’re the main character’s best friend and the story doesn’t need you to know. but you know her like no one else does, if only in words. you know when she’s had a fight. you don’t know why she’s wearing something different today but you know it isn’t good. you know how to cheer her up, but you don’t know why it isn’t working. she gets a funny look in her eyes and then she’s sorted it out on her own, but she thanks you anyway. one day, something happens to you and you finally feel seen and important and special, and then once you’ve been hurt again you realize that you’d fallen into the arms of a different main character, and you can never be a protagonist on your own: your specialness lies in your proximity to special people. you fight her in the arena above the forest, and she refuses to draw her sword. you forget it the next day. time goes by and things are so boring for you, and it’s too quiet around here, and you wish something exciting would happen, a fight or something, wouldn’t that be exciting? a fight? you’re the main character’s best friend and she’s escaped the story but you don’t know it, and you wait a while at the door of the tower she’s never explained to you, as the sun sets, peaceful, quiet, and you don’t know she’s gone for good, you don’t know you’re soon going to forget that too. you wanted to do your math homework together.

“If a society puts half its children into short skirts and warns them not to move in ways that reveal their panties, while putting the other half into jeans and overalls and encouraging them to climb trees, play ball, and participate in other vigorous outdoor games; if later, during adolescence, the children who have been wearing trousers are urged to “eat like growing boys,” while the children in skirts are warned to watch their weight and not get fat; if the half in jeans runs around in sneakers or boots, while the half in skirts totters about on spike heels, then these two groups of people will be biologically as well as socially different. Their muscles will be different, as will their reflexes, posture, arms, legs and feet, hand-eye coordination, and so on. Similarly, people who spend eight hours a day in an office working at a typewriter or a visual display terminal will be biologically different from those who work on construction jobs. There is no way to sort the biological and social components that produce these differences. We cannot sort nature from nurture when we confront group differences in societies in which people from different races, classes, and sexes do not have equal access to resources and power, and therefore live in different environments. Sex-typed generalizations, such as that men are heavier, taller, or stronger than women, obscure the diversity among women and among men and the extensive overlaps between them… Most women and men fall within the same range of heights, weights, and strengths, three variables that depend a great deal on how we have grown up and live. We all know that first-generation Americans, on average, are taller than their immigrant parents and that men who do physical labor, on average, are stronger than male college professors. But we forget to look for the obvious reasons for differences when confronted with assertions like ‘Men are stronger than women.’ We should be asking: ‘Which men?’ and ‘What do they do?’ There may be biologically based average differences between women and men, but these are interwoven with a host of social differences from which we cannot disentangle them.”
