I look up and see those shoes hanging, swaying in the cold breeze, right beneath the red light. It's strange how something so ordinary like a pair of shoes and a traffic signal can stir up this deep, aching feeling. That red light feels like a warning, a call to stop, as if life itself is telling me to pause, to think. It's a reminder of all the moments I felt held back, caught in place, waiting for some green light to push me forward.
Those shoes, left behind, feel like an echo of all the dreams left hanging, all the hopes stalled at a red light, unable to move. I think about how often I've stood at my own crossroads, stuck in hesitation, uncertain of what lies beyond if I just go. The light remains red, the shoes dangle, and life feels suspended, caught between here and the unknown.
Yet, maybe there's a kind of hope in that waiting. Maybe, just like at any light, there's a promise that it'll eventually turn green. Maybe we're all just waiting, holding on, believing that one day, we'll be able to step f… 0 reply

Say her name: Ahou Daryaei. Say her name out loud: AHOU DARYAEI.
Her name is Ahou Daryaei, a PhD student in Tehran, who defied Iran's violent gender apartheid with unmatched bravery. On November 2, 2024, after the morality police tore away her headscarf and clothes, she chose to remove the last layers herself, sitting outside her university in protest, a stark statement against repression. Her quiet defiance became a voice for countless women silenced under oppressive laws.
Harassed by Basiji militia, beaten, and arrested, Ahou was left with severe head trauma and is now held as "insane", the punishment for courage under tyranny. In a world that glorifies oppression and brutality as "freedom fighting" and labels bravery and dissent as madness, those who dare to stand for justice are silenced, tortured, and erased.
This is not justice, it is an appeal to conscience. Stand for Ahou Daryaei. Stand for the people of Iran. Let not courage die in darkness.
Women, life, freedom. 2 replies

If it fits, I... Wait, no, that's not how this works, is it? What was I even thinking? Shouldn't have started by shoving my head right in like some rookie.
Now here I am, staring through the world with glass walls like a fish in a bowl. Ugh, humans are totally gonna love this, pff. They'll probably take photos, laugh, and say I'm "cute." Oh, sure, laugh it up. Meanwhile, I'm over here contemplating the existential dread of being a cat, an apex predator, trapped... in a tumbler.
And it's not like they're gonna help me out of here any faster, either. Nope, I'll be stuck till they're done with their little "aww" session. Just meowonderful. 0 reply

Hey, hey, it's World Vegan Day! 🌱🌈 @demirtaseydi @aysunsuren
Yup, one whole day where we get to politely remind y'all that plants are, indeed, food. To my non-vegan friends, yeah, I know you've got that one "But… bacon!" card ready. But let me tell you, nothing tastes as good as knowing no one had to suffer for your dinner.
Today's not about judging, though. No lectures here, promise! Just a friendly nudge to think about how that burger got on your plate and maybe -just maybe- try a veggie one? No, it won't turn you into a kale-chomping robot, I swear. But it might make you feel a bit more connected to this planet we share.
So here's the deal: just for today, think of it as a "cheat day" for compassion. Step into our world. Try something green (and nope, green M&Ms don't count) 💚 0 reply
