"It doesn't help your credibility to exaggerate, most employers wouldn't literally work you to death" like, I used to work in distribution. If booking a truck driver for back to back shifts until they fall asleep at the wheel, crash, and die counts as being worked to death, I have personally met employers who've worked employees to death and gotten away with a slap on the wrist. It may not be universal, but it's a hell of a lot more common than a lot of us would prefer to think.

The FAA had to explicitly make rules about how long pilots have to have off between shifts, and how far away from their home you can pin their home airport, because it doesn't mean shit that someone has 10 hours between shifts if they have a 2 hour commute each way. They had to make these rules because multiple passenger airplanes crashed because the pilots were exhausted from tight scheduling. Employers won't just work you to death, they'll take a hundred random customers with you.

Happy belated Workers’ Memorial Day, celebrated April 28th

I feel like there's two worlds: one where Iranians heard the news that Khamenei is dead and immediately started celebrating like there's no tomorrow, and one where the rest of you shook your heads sadly, mimed zipping your lips because it's so sad that our longtime brutal heartless dictator WAS KILLED, and looked away politely. I'm going nuts.

#my feed on here and on Insta is a dizzying mix of the two things #street party in Tehran followed by a formal condemnation of /memes about Iran/ followed by a giggling Iranian who cannot believe their luck #followed by /heartbroken for Iranians I hope they can forgive us/ FOLLOWED BY IRANIANS CELEBRATING #what is happening? we're alive we're here (well some of us. the internet is now cut again in Iran.).#listen to us when we say we're glad!

Oh, it's very quiet over here, I see.

We're not happy that Iranians have their first reason to celebrate a future without fear? We are not cheering along with the crowds in Tehran's streets and shouting from millions of apartment windows in that tangled smoggy metropolis?

Holler along. Come on. Don't be frightened for us. We see a future ahead now.

#47 years of hatred. he and his predecessor murdered millions. There isn't a family without scars of loss in all of Iran.#come celebrate Khamenei's death with me. I have very little heart left but to see my people dancing and crying with joy? I feel that #I feel it all right now.

MY HONEYS

MY DEARS

#HE IS DEAD AND I AM OVER. THE> MOON.#PLEASE GOD LET THIS BE REAL. LET ME NOT WAKE UP.#KHAMENEI IS DEAD. YES HE FUCKING ISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS #idk what to do with myself I'm literally shaking and ice cold I'm so fucking...... I'm so happy man it's unreal.

I've had one of my biggest dreams come true today. The head of the beast was cut off.

#I hope it was messy AND painful. I was hoping we could give him to the mothers of the children he's killed but this will do fine.#the shadow over my life is one head shorter. I drink your health to the fall of the Islamic Republic! may it be quick!#(yes I am also shit-scared for my family. of course I am. but that's nothing new is it.)

th3pwettiesgf

before they cut off our internet completely i just wanna say don't listen to those anti war mfs. they only gonna try and spread lies about us being scared and that we don't support war but the truth is, we've never been this happy to see the downfall of the islamic republic and we're gonna welcome the usa and israel help with open arms

#I love you stay safe #just had a minute-long call with my ma! the sweetest thing is to be able to share in your hope (and now joy!) even for a minute.

WE ARE FREE OF KHAMENEI

🥳

#THIS. IS. NOT. A. DRILL.#oh this is the sweetest thing to me #oh my god who to call who to tell I need celebrations we have to have a party

I don't know what to do with myself I want to scream and sing and get all of my neighbours to cheer with me. I know they will be dancing into the night, police be damned, bullets be damned, at home.

I'M SO HAPPY IT FEELS LIKE I@M ALIVR

#HE IS DEAD AND GONE.#he has hurt his last innocent person and executed his last youth.#I hope they can't recover more than smithereens of him to pretend to weep over. I hope he decays without ceremony.

NRVER MIND I@M BACK

HE'S GONE HE'S GONE HE'S FGONEEEEE HE'S DEAD

Long may he rot, my god, he's gone and I can't believe my luck.

OH MY GOD, they finally pulled that monster back into hell like we promised ourselves we'd do for years. He's dead. He's DEAD.

I feel like I'm breathing with new lungs

Shaking shaking shaking

KHAMENEI-YE ZAHHAK, KESHIDANET ZIRE KHAK. THEY FUCKING GOT YOU AT LAST, YOU FOUL SOULLESS GHOUL.

#I'm so happy. I'm so happy my god I didn't know I could be this happy.#Iran's streets will be absolute mayhem tonight. the celebrations can't be contained. hell I can't be contained!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#I've wanted him dead all my life. his smug words have killed hundreds of thousands. you can't understand. but I'd like you to try.#GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I'm logging out.

I recommend i) staying away from the news and continuing to keep your mouths shut (like you all did so nicely all through January, back when we actually needed your eyes and your voices) about Iran if you're not Iranian, and ii) picking up Iran International as a news source if you Muuuust Know because 8 months ago I was laughing on a balcony, frightened half to death as bombs fell, hopeful that at least this regime would come to an end at the end of that nightmare (so much for my crushed dreams of 2025), and now, today in fact, people are doing the same, laughing and chanting "We'll pull our dictator under the soil!", and huh. Strange. None of your "oh those poor dear helpless frightened Iranians" news outlets who suddenly woke up today are saying anything about that, are they?

#Iran's complicated I get it but collectively you aren't lifting a finger or turning your heads to listen to Iranians in the diaspora #also I hate that talking about this brings Zionists to cheer me on. leave me the fuck alone. Palestine should be free. Iran too.#if Israel is bombing the IRGC regime's leaders: JUST BY FUCKING ACCIDENT it is also what we needed from the global community.#that the most heinous colonising arm of the modern imperialist expansion is helping along what we advocated for (regime change)#is comedy worth crying over. it's all too goddamn bad that it has to be Israel of all places doing something to help us #and I'm not stupid enough to think it's anything other than self-interested motives driving Israel and the US.#NEVERTHELESS we need them right now. whatever happens next we need regime change now.#we have ended up needing them bc we asked and screamed and begged for help in 2022 and nobody answered.#the EU is just now mumbling about putting the IRGC regime on their list of terrorist organisations. we demanded that 4 years ago.#4 years ago and the response was ohhh... well can we be sure... we don't want to antagonise them... we might be able to negotiate with them #soooooo.... yeah. Iran Intl. even though they're uncomfortably Israel-friendly. bc it's more accurate than CBS or BBC or Fox or whatever.

#Iranian New Year coming up this month #may it bring great changes and a fresh start for us 🌸🌷🪷🌻🌺

This is about Iran and what's happening, as an Iranian who loves their country and wants to live freely and without fear someday.

#sorry. no energy to write this out again #I do this every time something kicks off in Iran and people (quite naturally) prefer listening to the narrative of the big news outlets #instead of to diaspora Iranians who are outside of Iran largely bc we had no other choice. we're the same people as the ones in Iran!#I left in September 2025 under threat of airstrikes and fresh from the 10-day war and I am telling you: this is what we choose.#between being damned to live in fear indefinitely under the IRGC regime and a quick brutal conclusion with any other end result #we choose the second option #I did not sit helpless under the sounds of explosions with this grim conviction last year for you to talk over me or my countrymen.#we are all. as a country of 90 million. at the end of our collective rope. so let us choose America and Israel's self-interest #which happens to temporarily align with what we want (total regime change). we'll figure the rest out after.#PLEASE. okay? please. let us have agency and a voice bc it concerns us.#and if you insist on watching the news about Iran: try Iran International bc that's what we watch in Iran.#they're Israel-friendly which I don't like but their news is as current and accurate as you can get re: Iran.

Israel is bombing Iranian civilians and gleefully put out press release calling it a 'pre-emptive' attack while Iran has been negotiating for weeks. 'Pre-emptive' strikes don't exist in International law. International law doesn't exist either it seems. What exists is Israel, a made up terrorist limb of the cancerous American state and it feeds the capitalist appetite for blood and oil.

The U.S. and Israel are attacking Iran, with President Trump confirming "major combat operations" after a failed effort to pressure Tehran i

Please go ahead and read my tags. I don't have the mental energy to do this song and dance yet again, esp when the Internet's down in Iran again, but I'll screenshot and post my tags as their own post too. That's my contribution to what's happening, as an Iranian, and then I'm blocking all posts about it for my sanity.

#listen listen I know you all mean well I FUCKING KNOW YOU MEAN WELL #thank you for paying attention alright #but you've got the wrong end of the stick once again #what time is it? it is once again time for me to jump up and down at exactly 1mm tall while nobody listens #but that's how Iranians always feel when things kick off.#okay here we go: I know it's hard to believe yeah? but we're okay with this.#the strikes in Iran (unlike Israeli strikes in Palestine) are much more controlled and targeted #they aren't perfect mind. but it's not striking with the aim to get at civilians #they are wiping out people we WANT gone. people we have protested against for decades #please I know black and white thinking is the default here and if Israel is the bad guy then Iranians have got to be victims of them #but we're victims first and foremost of our own government. the government who executes and disappears and tortures Iranians.#recently we've been protesting against this regime since 9 January. the most widespread protests ever since 1979's regime takeover.#y'all weren't interested in tens of millions of Iranians getting their voices cut off when the IRGC regime deadened the internet for 20 day #I didn't see wailing and worrying about the poor darling Iranians and what's going to happen under the cover of darkness then 🫤#this is actually something we could benefit from as unbelievable as it sounds alright? I know it sounds insane.#I hate Trump. I despise him and Netanyahu. Please understand though that we have one of those at home: Khamenei.#and we want him gone at any cost. and I do mean any goddamn cost. he's killed enough of us.#the regime in power (who call themselves an Islamic regime but don't adhere to the basics tenets of religion or human decency) has killed #enough of us.#Jin Jiyan Azadi.#Woman Life Freedom.#Do you hear me??????#Can you hear me?? Are you listening???????? A free Iran is more important than life to me.
