I rarely bring politics into discussion here, not because I am not deep into politics, but because I feel this isn't the space for it.
But this must be said. As a woman, as an Arab, and as a lesbian. What is happening in Iran is one of the most terrifying events I have ever seen in my life.
Deaths are mounting, with hospitals and morgues under extreme strain. They are completely in the dark. Internet blackouts, phonelines are cut, access is almost impossible. They need doctors, they need food, they need resources.
And we have no way of knowing the stats, and that's terrifying.
Some of you might feel a little uncertain on what to do when it comes to a situation like this because you are unfamiliar with conflicts, and would rather stay out of it. And I think that’s incredibly smart to do, because believe it or not, nothing is worse for the Middle Eastern people than a Westerner that revolts without knowing what they revolt for.
This is not an attack on Islam. This is an attack on the monsters that slaughter and punish women, homosexuals, and children for not following along. Thats dictatorship. Not Islam.
The Iranian regime must fall. Today.
Iran needs us.
Think critically.
Love you all
Please be safe, Bella, I am thinking of you every waking moment.
Love, Tzi <3
