tutto passa

Let's make this show popular with the ToA folk

Like. I think I kind of know why. A myriad of sociopolitical reasons, including self-interest and racism and ignorance and misguided 'enemy of my enemy' thinking about the Islamic world vs bastards like Trump and Netanyahu. But I'm still appalled. None of that can justify turning a blind eye or cold shoulder to the worst massacre in modern Iranian history. And the Iranian people have suffered a lot of massacres! Mostly at the hands of their own government and police force!

I've been seeing and reblogging so many posts about the ICE situation in the USA (which makes sense, because almost half the users of this site live there), and... listen. That gives me a nice point of comparison. What's happening in America, with Trump and ICE and all of that, that's awful. It's horrendous. It makes my blood boil. It is the tip of the iceberg. What the Islamic Republic is doing in Iran is the entire frozen mass around the North Pole. On every front, it is worse. Totalitarianism? Oppression? Corruption? Unjust policing? Religious extremism? Misogyny? Homophobia? Environmental devastation? Economic divide and insecurity? Abuse of power? Name an issue you have with Trump, and the mullahs are doing it a million times worse. That's why I'm so disappointed that he's the only world leader who said - even temporarily - that he would provide the foreign aid that is urgently needed. He and Supreme Leader Khamenei (that is his real title) are cut from the same vile cloth!

So if the USA makes my blood boil when I live in the UK... you can imagine how I feel about Iran, my father's homeland. I'm going fucking crazy.

Yes, it is essential that people pay attention and spread the truth of the Ugly Shitstorm of America, in order to hopefully prevent that nation from going further down its dark path. The Islamic 'Republic' is at the end of that same path. It is a textbook dystopia. The rulers and servants of this regime have been starving, terrorising, brutalising, imprisoning, torturing and murdering countless citizens, both for protesting against it and for literally any other reason, since 1979. That's when my dad left at fifteen, when his parents sent him away to get out of there as the shit hit the fan. Right now, my grandparents are over there. Right now people are in crippling poverty, with a terrible water shortage due to the regime's management and environmental exploitation. People are being slaughtered. Gunned down in the streets. Locked away in horrific conditions. Children are being raped and executed. This is all routine.

What's different this time is the unprecedented scale and unity of the protests. This time, maybe, just maybe, some real positive change might actually be accomplished. But probably not without any outside help.

I love that nobody is the same. humans are meant to be unique. unique personalities and appearances. we are meant to be our own person. we are all created differently through generations and generations of equally unique people.

I think everyone is beautiful in their own ways. no matter their race, ethnicity, nationality, age, etc. there is no such thing as an ugly human being.

unless you’re a terrible person. because that will eventually catch up to you through your physical appearance. it’s said that hate ages you by years!!!!!! an ugly soul will always reflect!!!!!!!! so remember it costs nothing to be kind and respectful 💗💗💗.

I think everyone is lovely despite who they love. whether you’re gay, straight, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, etc. I love love. if you know anything about me it’s that love is one of the most important things in my life. and being bisexual myself, being able to love more than one gender is absolutely an amazing feeling. I love spreading love & receiving love and that will never change. and I hope none of you change!! never try to change who you love.

if you love men, great! if you love women, great! if you love non-binaries, great! if you love any gender, I am GLAD that you do!!!!! even if you’re not interested in romantic love, there’s always platonic love. and self love!!!! self love is one of the most important things ever!!! keep sharing your love 💖💖💖.

love is one of the most important things about life. love will always prevail everything. whether it’s platonic or romantic. so no, I sure as hell do not give a fuck who you love because guess what!!!!! love is love!!!!!!

and I do not give a single fuck if someone looks different from me. because at the end of the day, they’re human just like me. at the end of the day, they’re just someone trying to get through life the same way we all are.
