The surest signs yet that ordinary Iranians want to rejoin the wider world COMMENT: Iranians yearn for a time before the 1979 revolution when their country was not isolated, sanctioned and permanently at odds with the West

“There are protests in #Iran again, as there were in 2019, 2022 and 2023.

@nussaibah.bsky.social’ sharply observed satire on aid workers in Iraq – #Fundamentally – is unlike anything you’ve ever read before. Fresh, clever and incredibly funny, it explores themes of love, family, religion and the quest for belonging. #booksky What's your #favouriteline?

Don't read #fundamentally. It's SHIT

Sad to report that I would advise you not to waste your time/money on #Fundamentally
If it had been a serious novel without the attempts of comedy and chick lit sex and drugs, it would’ve been a lot better

Sadly , despite the hype , #fundamentally is underwhelming atm
