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?”
help a broke disabled trans lesbian pay for transportation, groceries, and medications!
so I'm still job hunting, but I need to restock on my meds before too long, and I know these posts can be annoying so I wanna try and limit how how often I ask for help in the coming month, so with that said I wanna try and cover with this post my meds, transportation to and from interviews, and groceries which I'll need to take care of later this month as well. pretty much I wanna make sure that I can have everything covered for the coming month ahead of when I need it so I don't have to make a new post asking for help whenever I have another interview or when I need to get groceries.
reblogs would be greatly appreciated, and any little bit shared to help me reach my goal for the month would really help out a ton!!!!
My friend Mona has asked me to share her story with you all.
Here's the link to the evacuation gofundme. They're very close to their goal. They legitimately only have less than 10k USD left to go before all 9 of them can evacuate.
“If you can’t write, don’t!” Wow. Just wow. Literally half the characters in this fandom are “poorly written” but we still love them. Anyway. Please remember that is fandom is meant to encourage creativity and fun. No one is good at writing their first few tries and you’re not “unintelligent or a stupid child” like that post said because you’re not perfect at it. Keep trying. Keep being creative. Keep having fun. Keep finding comfort in these characters and in this fandom like we always have. One of the reasons the characters have a lot of depth and personality is because the fandom took them in and gave them that. Whether people want to acknowledge that or not.
