This Earth Day, I wanted to bring awareness to the beautiful Lake Urmia of Iran, which is now 95% dried up. This can be attributed to the larger issue of water scarcity in Iran as a result of the Islamic Regime's corruption and mismanagement of resources.

Secretary of War Pete Hegs... • © • 39m The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.
General George Washington required Continental Army soldiers be inoculated for smallpox. We would not have won independence if he hadn’t.
You dumb chucklefuck.
Screenshots from a Tiktok/Reels video I made showing the very normalized slut-shaming against Iranian women online, not only from conservative Muslims (which is expected), but also from quite a few so called "leftists" who seem to make exceptions in their support for women's autonomy.
every superhero movie should run with a PSA about how all the cool shit they’re about to see is based on the work of freelancers unsupported by the companies that have exploited their work for decades
#portfolioday I have to offer the indie-animated pilot that I've been working on the past 10 months. I will eventually make a fundraiser for it, but for now, please take a look at this introduction I made for it on NYE 2025:
Thank you!
Since June, Ive been working on my own indie animated pilot. I'm a bit behind, but I'm starting to make progress again: bsky.app/profile/samu...
Putin is having quite a run....
- Loses Syria
- Cuba, Venezuela may be slipping from his grasp
- Iran and its regional proxies have taken a pounding
- Orban falls, bigly
- Ukraine grows more powerful, Zelenskky more respected
- Trump like Orban is being repudiated at home
Will take the wins...
Congrats to Peter Magyar and the people of Hungary for removing darling of the far right Viktor Orban from office; the latter's loss is a blow to Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, and authoritarianism in general. Freedom is contagious, so let it spread!
I'm really sorry for putting this up again but I haven't been called to work in almost a month without work, I still have some payments to deal with and finding work has been getting harder by the day. So any help would mean a lot to me. Thank you

I continue to be proven right: another white leftist mocking the Iranian accent (I see this often).
So, I hadn't been on Bluesky for a couple weeks or so and I come back to see that I suddenly gained over 400 new followers? Where did y'all come from lmao (thanks for following me regardless, but I'm confused)??
All three sides, and this, my dear readers, is the problem.
A photo from the No Kings protest shows one person holding a sign referencing the Handmaids Tale while someone nearby waves the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the country that the book was based off of.
Beyond parody.
"Disney is now in talks with over a dozen companies to implement AI."
We should have listened to the pussy-hat wearing, resist liberal wine moms when they warned us about how violently racist and misogynistic Bernie Bros were. Just like they were right about Russia, Tulsi Gabbard, etc. they were right about this too.
Iranians are the dictionary definition of stuck between a rock and a hard place, trapped on all sides by three governments that have their own agendas and do not care about Iran and its people.
Being a 1st gen Iranian-American Millennial is weird.
Growing up in the 2000s and even in the 2010s, the racism I'd face was from people on the right.
But now, in 2026, I also see that from people on the "left".
I don't think I've ever felt more unwelcome, even more than in the post 9/11 era.
Being a contrarian doesn't make you a "free thinker".
Rejecting one form of propaganda in favor of another is not critical thought.
If you were actually immune to propaganda, you wouldn't have to keep telling people you were.
Tankies just 3 months ago: "The Israel-backed Jolani is attacking Kurds, we told you he was bad!"
Tankies now (based off an unverified claim that the CIA is arming Kurds to fight the Islamic Republic):
Lemme get this straight. By your logic, Graham Platner is an innocent snowflake who did a whoopsie by platforming an actual Nazi and Kat Abughazaleh is history’s greatest monster for thinking Putin shouldn’t be allowed to shove Ukraine into a woodchipper. Do I have that right?
"The Islamic Republic isn't attacking civilians!"
Meanwhile, the reality:
People who spent the past two months engaging in atrocity denial regarding Iran and downplaying the violence and oppression of the Islamic Republic are now pretending they care about Iranian lives.
Yep. They hate on the "Great Satan" yet all of their children live there.
I'll end it with this: we Iranians owe you nothing. We don't owe you perfect victimhood, a perfect revolution, or any explanation. If you have a problem with that, the block button is right there.
#FreeIran
These people don't hate us because a small minority of people bring Israeli flags to our protests, or because some Iranians support American intervention; they hate us for not being the perfect little pawns for their own agendas. Typical western savior mentality.
These people are bigots who view Iranians not as human beings with autonomy, agency, and lives/dreams of their own, but as sacrificial pawns for their political agendas.
Most are rarely as honest as Samirah Khan is in the below screenshot, but this is what they truly believe:
There is no "right way" to advocate for Iran's liberation against the brutally oppressive Islamic Republic in the eyes of Caitlin Johnstone and other "anti-imperialists" like her.
I've never posted anything pro-Israel or pro-war in Iran, and I still get accused of being a "Zionist warmonger".
These same people will then boast about how they're "always right" but "too early" as if there aren't multiple, consistent documented examples of them being wrong.
