Marjane Satrapi, creator of Persepolis, died today. She was revered by many Iranians for her artwork & advocacy; 2026 has been a rough year for us.

It probably doesn’t need yo be reiterated but please stop hate watching things for clicks. You only make it worse for everyone and everything by feeding the beast you claim to detest.

Corporate fascism is here.

Studios will do anything but greenlight new and original ideas.

The word “sellout” has kinda lost its meaning lately but I think we all need to bring it back full force to describe artists who sell their soul to corporate AI-slinging garbage machines for a fat stack of cash.

Regarding the internet blockade in Iran finally being gifted after 88 days. By Parsa Garrett on Instagram.

Call me crazy, but I don't think you should get your political takes from a guy who named his "news" organization after the perpetrators of the Armenian Genocide and spent the 2024 Election doing MAGA apologism.

All this bullshit with data centers being built that use more water and electricity than entire cities wouldnt happen if STEM and Business people were required to minor in humanities. Or just didnt treat humanities classes like jokes/easy.

NASA just dropped more than 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. It'll take me a few days to go through them all, but so far it's one stunner after another. Link: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... Credit: NASA/Artemis II Crew (h/t @jonostrower.com)

Finding out that Shoe0nHead and Hasan Piker are beefing with each other.

SpaceX launched another missile (I think) and the trail it left looks like the roadrunner from Looney Tunes.

Any "leftist" who still tries to claim that Trump & Kamala were "equally as bad" is either racist or coping to hide their subconscious understanding that they were wrong (most likely both).

Over 50% of American adults can't read above a 6th grade reading level, and this is an absolutely catastrophic civil rights crisis with implications for every facet of individual and collective life, including processing political statements by politicians, doctors, and so on

Zohran Mamdani has achieved enlightened centrism after collabing with Obama.

This Earth Day, I wanted to bring awareness to the beautiful Lake Urmia of Iran, which is now 95% dried up. This can be attributed to the larger issue of water scarcity in Iran as a result of the Islamic Regime's corruption and mismanagement of resources.

General George Washington required Continental Army soldiers be inoculated for smallpox. We would not have won independence if he hadn’t. You dumb chucklefuck.

Screenshots from a Tiktok/Reels video I made showing the very normalized slut-shaming against Iranian women online, not only from conservative Muslims (which is expected), but also from quite a few so called "leftists" who seem to make exceptions in their support for women's autonomy.

every superhero movie should run with a PSA about how all the cool shit they’re about to see is based on the work of freelancers unsupported by the companies that have exploited their work for decades

#portfolioday I have to offer the indie-animated pilot that I've been working on the past 10 months. I will eventually make a fundraiser for it, but for now, please take a look at this introduction I made for it on NYE 2025:

Putin is having quite a run.... - Loses Syria - Cuba, Venezuela may be slipping from his grasp - Iran and its regional proxies have taken a pounding - Orban falls, bigly - Ukraine grows more powerful, Zelenskky more respected - Trump like Orban is being repudiated at home Will take the wins...

Congrats to Peter Magyar and the people of Hungary for removing darling of the far right Viktor Orban from office; the latter's loss is a blow to Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, and authoritarianism in general. Freedom is contagious, so let it spread!

I'm really sorry for putting this up again but I haven't been called to work in almost a month without work, I still have some payments to deal with and finding work has been getting harder by the day. So any help would mean a lot to me. Thank you ko-fi.com/rsdream12/go... #mutualaid #helpsky

I continue to be proven right: another white leftist mocking the Iranian accent (I see this often).

So, I hadn't been on Bluesky for a couple weeks or so and I come back to see that I suddenly gained over 400 new followers? Where did y'all come from lmao (thanks for following me regardless, but I'm confused)??

All three sides, and this, my dear readers, is the problem.

A photo from the No Kings protest shows one person holding a sign referencing the Handmaids Tale while someone nearby waves the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the country that the book was based off of. Beyond parody.

"Disney is now in talks with over a dozen companies to implement AI."

We should have listened to the pussy-hat wearing, resist liberal wine moms when they warned us about how violently racist and misogynistic Bernie Bros were. Just like they were right about Russia, Tulsi Gabbard, etc. they were right about this too.

Iranians are the dictionary definition of stuck between a rock and a hard place, trapped on all sides by three governments that have their own agendas and do not care about Iran and its people.

Being a 1st gen Iranian-American Millennial is weird. Growing up in the 2000s and even in the 2010s, the racism I'd face was from people on the right. But now, in 2026, I also see that from people on the "left". I don't think I've ever felt more unwelcome, even more than in the post 9/11 era.

Being a contrarian doesn't make you a "free thinker". Rejecting one form of propaganda in favor of another is not critical thought. If you were actually immune to propaganda, you wouldn't have to keep telling people you were.

Tankies just 3 months ago: "The Israel-backed Jolani is attacking Kurds, we told you he was bad!" Tankies now (based off an unverified claim that the CIA is arming Kurds to fight the Islamic Republic):

Lemme get this straight. By your logic, Graham Platner is an innocent snowflake who did a whoopsie by platforming an actual Nazi and Kat Abughazaleh is history’s greatest monster for thinking Putin shouldn’t be allowed to shove Ukraine into a woodchipper. Do I have that right?

People who spent the past two months engaging in atrocity denial regarding Iran and downplaying the violence and oppression of the Islamic Republic are now pretending they care about Iranian lives.

There is no "right way" to advocate for Iran's liberation against the brutally oppressive Islamic Republic in the eyes of Caitlin Johnstone and other "anti-imperialists" like her. I've never posted anything pro-Israel or pro-war in Iran, and I still get accused of being a "Zionist warmonger".

Before there was Epstein, before there was Diddy, there was Khomeini.

Post-rain sunset.

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart 1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks 2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

We don’t owe them anything. They spent a decade ignoring obvious evidence implicating the most guilty while fabricating insane accusations against the innocent.

Today's unusual sky.

The Islamic Regime rules with Sharia in Iran, while their children live westernized lives in western countries, all on wealth stolen from the Iranian people. Art by @siavashbuffi on Instagram

Bad Bunny is one hundred times the American that Trump is.

When Tankies say that the Islamic Republic must remain in power in Iran because they're "fighting western imperialism" even though they're massacreing Iranian citizens in the thousands.

Same sky. Same time. Different corner.

This was me at the Free Iran rally in Los Angeles last Sunday. This past week has been difficult as an Iranian in the diaspora. Iran needs liberation, we cannot let the deaths of those we have lost (est 12,000 so far, probably more) to go to vain. FREE IRAN 🟢⚪️🦁⚪️🔴

Today, this artist, Noval Noir, was painting a stunning portrait of Renee Good at the site of where she was killed

Far Right: Supports ICE but opposes the Basij (Iranian version of ICE) Far Left: Opposes ICE but supports the Basij Two sides of the same coin.

A reminder to certain leftists when talking about Iran 👇
