The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.
Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”
being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five
I feel confident enough to post these now. A collection of all the existing posters after some edits from the other post that got 13k notes! These are full size/quality. Go nuts.
You may use them for wallpapers, tabletop campaigns, whatever. Consider tipping me or buying a print or sticker on ko-fi here! If you do use them, let me know what for, or send pictures!
Controversial Character Tournament Round 2: Tartaglia / Childe from Genshin Impact vs Pekorin from Kira Kira Precure A La Mode
(remember that these characters are fictional and your fellow tumblr users are real. i will block you if you harass others in the notes, please consider sending your unhinged harassment to my inbox instead)
Propaganda under the cut, may contain spoilers:
Tartaglia / Childe:
LOVE:
- "hes such a scumbag but also hes a goofball. hes not like the wanderer where hes relentlessly mean to you nor is he actually nice to you hes like an onion hes got layers and also made me cry at one point. also he dont need a redemption arc hes already aware hes fucked up guys. not to diagnose a fictional character but something is wrong"
- "i voted love but it’s complicated. i just think this guy is equal parts awful and lovable and if you spent one second in the fandom tags you’d get why he’s here"
Pekorin:
LOVE:
- "Please, she is just a little baby who wants to make sweets with her friends and do her best. People in the fandom dunk on her for not being the mascot of the previous series and because they feel like she 'stole' another character's chance at being a magical girl. I've had to endure seeing people call her 'creepy' and 'ugly' especially in her human form because... (checks hand) she's a little girl with a big forehead? Especially when this show was still airing, people were SO rude to this baby girl.
Listen! I know Kirapre fans love Rio. But can you really not understand why the character that most closely represents the target audience of the show got the chance to be a magical girl? Can you really not comprehend that? C'mon. Be nice to her. She's baby. She has LITERALLY done nothing wrong."
HATE:
- "Annoying little guy (this franchise has a lot of this problem). What was the point of her becoming a Precure?"
