Happy winter solstice! Or as Iranians call it, Shab e Yalda (meaning Night of Birth) or Shab e Chelleh (meaning Fortieth Night) Iranian months have forty days, so in my mind these mean “night of beginnings” and “night of endings,” which I think is neat! Other neat things about Chelleh: 🧵

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9
