Thank you to Donald Trump for not bombing Iran. We must move toward a world where no country ever bombs another country.

Prof. Homa Hoodfar has been released from prison in Iran - thank you, Iranians, and all who helped gain her freedom.

@LesbianReviews Thanks for mentioning Moon At Nine! Too many stories like that in Iran and too many other countries.

Women - wear what you want to on the beach and everywhere. Swim, run, dance, celebrate who you are. Stupid men, mind your own business.

Iran should release Concordia professor Homa Hoodfar from Evin Prison - the Iranian people probably want this, too.
