Aesthetically pleasing study session? Not really, because I'm just stressing about a deadline and an unexpected job interview. Sometimes there's no romanticising life because you just have to get shit done.

Slow evening studying session. Bit of gilmore girls in the background, some candles and I've got a cup of tea brewing...

The days are rainy, my evenings are filled with warming dinners, scented candles and gilmore girls, and the studyblr is back. Boy do I love autumn.

🎵 Death with Dignity - Sufjan Stevens

extremely fucked up that the only way out is through

[resqectable]

“Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.”

— Albert Camus, from Notebooks, 1951-1959

I know that it's hard to hear about innocent people dying. I know it's hard to care about politics especially if it's from other countries or if it doesn't affect you. it might be depressing for you to hear about these things happening but imagine living it. it's our last chance to win this fight, if we don't the internet is gonna stay limited, more people would die from poverty and police brutality, they will be more strict about the hijab and more afab people would be arrested. maybe you're asking yourself what can I do about it? maybe you're thinking that it's none of your business and sharing posts won't do shit. maybe you're right, at the end of the day it's our revolution, it's our fight. and I swear that we're trying our best to overthrow this brutal dictatorship.

but they're killing people, using minors as police, using schools and ambulances to hide police forces, they are breaking into people's houses and beating and arresting protesters. so I beg you to talk about it and share the news. the only reason that they haven't shut down the internet completely and haven't killed 1500 people like in 2019 is that the world is watching us, the world knows about us. after 44 years of oppression and fear and violence finally our voices are being heard. so don't let people call it a color revolution, don't let them call it islamophobic to burn a veil. these are some tactics that the government use to silence iranian people. so just ignore it and get your news from iranian people instead of so called "leaders" of the protests.

help us if you can, be our voice.

Quick PSA,

You can fight for a woman's right to wear a hijab and also fight for another woman's right to NOT wear one if she doesn't want to - and you'd still be fighting for the same thing, a woman's right to choose.

You're still fighting for her freedom.

"Down with Khamenei (the Supreme leader of Iran)"

Graffiti painted in Tehran, during the ongoing protests following the death of Jina Mahsa Amini, a 22 year old Kurdish woman who was murdered by police in Tehran after she arrested and beaten for supposedly incorrectly wearing a hijab.

Women,life,freedom

[aftabkaran]

Why are Iranians protesting in the streets?

For freedom.

The internet in Iran has been cut off. Please help us by spreading the news.

[deathriddenwoman]

Iranian security forces has killed at least 41 people, most of them women, for protesting the opression and subjucation of women in the name of Mahsa Amini. 💔

[heavenhatesme]

As an Iranian girl, I want to tell you, Mahsa Amini's hijab was much more decent than my own everyday outfit. It might've been me, my mother, my sister, my friend or anyone.

Then they kill 100 more to prove they didn't kill 1? Where is the justice in that? Who can we go to when the police is the murderer?

As a feminist, as a human, send our voice across the world. We're fighting, and this time, we are not giving up!🇮🇷🕊

[nothingbutloveforyou]

as a persian girl i really wish that everyone informs themselves about the protests in Iran !!! people have no internet access, are being killed and beaten to death on the streets. the whole political system is a joke and a threat to human rights for all people in that country. it is my duty to use my voice for these people who aren't able to do so and i hope you do the same!!!

this is a women's rights issue and a human rights issue.

It’s one of those nights. I wanted to take aesthetically pleasing photos but you know what? Sometimes academia is late night study sessions with a glass of wine, some jazz and some dead flowers.

Memento mori, and stuff.

The academic year has officially started. Last year was a little rough, but this year I have a new study plan, new courage and fresh motivation.

I think this semester will be good, I hope everyone else on studyblr feels the same.
