wake up babe, new tumblr icon just dropped and it actually FUCKS

[aftabkaran]

Help us by spreading the news.

Be our our voice.

The protests in Iran may have started against the mandatory hijab law and wanting justice for Mahsa Amini's death but now it has turned into a protest _ a war dare I say _ against the whole regime. People are just fed up with the dictatorship of Ali Khamenei and want him gone! They are chanting things like "death to the dictator" and "death to the Islamic Republic" in the streets. And it's not something new it's just for the first time we've been able to raise our voices and make the world listen. The mahsa amini tag has been trending on Twitter for days and Iranians are still trying to keep it trending so please be our voice and spread the news. Let the world know the real face of our government.

People outside of iran are asking how they can help. I can suggest these options:

Be our voice, spread our stories. It's important to share what's happening in Iran as much as you can. The more people hear about it, the harder it gets for governments to deny it. Acknowledgment can be a tool here.

Have peaceful gatherings and protests in front of Iran embassy in your country of residence if possible. Obviously I don't want anyone to get in trouble but if you live in a country that allows freedom of speech and peaceful protests, do it. The sense of solidarity alone helps our courage.

Demand your government to un-recognize our government as legit. We do not know Islamic republic of Iran as our representative government, we wish other countries to stop shaking hands and welcoming Islamic republic politicians in international affairs. Iran's current government is not recognized by majority of people and it shouldn't be by other nations. You can demand this by just tweeting and posting about it.

Thank you in advance for any help you're able to do. We appreciate it.

Apparently the Iranian government has flown in Hisbollah militia from Lebanon to put down the protests in Iran.

This means massacre.

They are trained killers.

It also means the mullahs and Iranian military can wash their hands off the blood of their fellow citizens.

They'll let others do the bloody work.

Please don't stop paying attention to what's happening in Iran!

Keep posting, keep tweeting!

You probably have heard what's happening in Iran in the wake of Mahsa/Jina Amini's death and how the protests are turning into more than just head coverings and morality police.

You may wonder "What can I do?"

Currently there's no physical aid we can offer that movement. And honestly, considering the West's track record in meddling in that region, it's likely for the best.

However, what we can do is stay informed so as to either know *when* to find aid organizations or how to contact your reps. And importantly, to show Iranians that they have an audience that cares. Especially if you personally know Iranians/Iranian-*insert nationality* and/or Iranian orgs in your area.

Despite how fun it is to rag on Twitter here, it's pretty effective about current events if you have the right sources. Unfortunately since this site frowns on hyperlinking, I'm just gonna give screenshots of accounts.

Above all, I suggest the English version of 1500tasvir (original account is in Farsi). That compiles footage and such of what's going on.

If you want analysis, these ladies are knowledgeable points to start from:

Of course, exercise judgment and perform self care when consuming all this. Because it's really easy to get overloaded, and it's counterproductive to get burnt out.

4. If the car pulls up to you run in the opposite direction.

5. Walk with your keys in your hands and keep a key between each finger

6. If they put you in the trunk kick out the headlights

7. If you get lost find a woman with a child. Never ask a man for help (this one was drilled)

[bando--grand-scamyon]

That scream fire piece of advice is literally life saving

8. Watch your shadows and reflections, especially if someone is walking behind you. A split second notice is better than none and will help you.

[gaylittlepieceofsh1t]

- always tell someone where youre at and an approx time when youll be back

[witcheshaven]

Add text replacement words in your phone if possible. Something short and memorable that you can send quickly to people in moments of emergencies.

E.g.

[whatchagonnadoabooouuutttit]

I f ing hate that we need to reblog this, people suck, but this will save lives.

DO NOT SCROLL PAST

Being female fucking sucks but yes this shit is important for everyone

Also, do not walk close to walls. It will be easier for someone so walk past you and push you against it or corner you.

If your gut is telling you to cross the street or change your path, do it. Don’t risk it. Your body knows.

If you can, buy a large umbrella and walk holding it. Studies say that predators are less likely to attempt an attack on someone that could fight back. Keys around your knuckles is fine but you’ll need to get very close to do damage. Umbrellas are more precise.

Avoid wearing headphones if you are alone on an empty street. Look aware.

Again: Stay. Away. From. Walls.

Entering an uber alone? Call your father (or anyone you trust) and say “hey dad! Yep, I’m almost there, I’m sending you the route.” outloud. Then proceed to send them the route so they can follow the uber drive. This will most likely intimidate the predator.

If you see someone in an uncomfortable or possibly dangerous situation, walk up to them and say “Betty, oh my god, I haven’t seen you in so long!”. If she gets slightly confused, you can whisper and let her know you’re trying to help and that she should follow along. Walk together to another station or away from where you are. The man will most likely not follow. I have done this one 2 times and can be very helpful.

If you are unsure she needs help, you can pass her a note saying something like “hey, I noticed this man beside you is making you uncomfortable. If you’d like help, fake a sneeze right now and I will come up to you and pretend we are friends.” This is a long note, but its an example. Be discrete. If she follows along, proceed with the previous tip. This is helpful when you’re in a crowded train and you notice harassment.

Help your sisters. Trust them. Trust yourself. Be safe.

[goodgirl81]

If you ever feel unsafe or need help, anyone is welcome to run upto me and ask me for help! I’ll go all mama bear and keep you safe!!!
