This photo fills my heart with hope

I can’t stop looking at this photograph of two young people in Iran, taken amid the recent protests. The two of them holding hands, the woman without a hijab — simple acts that are illegal, but now form part of the revolution. The future is young and free 💛 #zanzendegiazadi

Dear @jayrayner1 can you recommend a London restaurant that involves dressing up but doesn’t break the bank? 15 year old son wore suit to a wedding last month and wants excuse to wear it again

[Persian Poetry in English @PersianPoetics]

Persian is a gender-neutral language.

In place of he or she, there is a neutral “ū” (او).

Persians say “humankind” (bashariyat, بشریت) not “mankind.”

When speaking of men and women, Persian speakers mention women first. (1/4)

[Pupak Navabpour @pupak]

Love my equal head @marksimpkins

[Persian Poetry in English @PersianPoetics]

The Persian word for “spouse” is “ham-sar” meaning “equal head” or “equal rank.”

In Persian, “wo-man” (zan) is not an extension of the word “man” (mard).

Iranian women do not adopt their husbands’ last names. (3/4)

Just been arrested and cuffed covering @JustStop_Oil protests at M25 services for @LondonNPictures for aggravated trespass and suspected criminal damage. First time in 35 years working as a press photographer. Not asked for my press card. @surreypolice

On this day in 1953, the US and Britain orchestrated a brutal coup that deposed Mohammad Mosaddegh, the popular Prime Minister of Iran, beloved for his progressive and pro-worker reforms, because he sought to restore national control over the country's oil reserves.

44% of white working-class students and 37% of black students enter uni with only BTEC qualifications. Cutting these will have a huge impact on social mobility and our economy. Email your MP now and ask them to attend the #ProtectStudentChoice parliamentary debate 18.07.22 4:30pm

Every time there’s beautiful space news, I’m reminded of when NASA JPL didn’t let me in to interview their scientist when I was there w VICE in 2017. They wouldn’t even let me film outside w a NASA sign in the background bc I’m born in Iran. What a vibe. And y’all I love space 🛸
