اینی که می‌گید‌ «از زمان مغول تا به حال، هیچ دولتی به اندازه ج‌ا ضدایرانی نبوده»، این درست نیست. مغول‌ها کلی خدمت کردند به فرهنگ و زبان و‌ هنر و حتی پایداری سیاسی ایران.

بی‌انصاف نباشید.

Evidently, for IRI’s “morality police”, morality is limited to women covering their hair, not the act of killing them in detention centres!

This sick urge to control women’s bodies is astonishingly persistent & the hill IRI is determined to die on… & die it shall! #Mahsa_Amini

Turkey and Azerbaijan are conspiring to destroy whatever rump state of #Armenia 🇦🇲 we have today after the Armenian genocide and their almost complete disappearance from their homeland between Ararat and Van.

#Turkey did that. Now they want to destroy Armenians in the Caucasus.

Horrifying and surreal to be planning a seminar about early 20th c. humanitarian campaigns for Armenian orphans and representations of the 1915 genocide as Azerbaijan makes military inroads into Armenia proper in the present.

History doesn't repeat; annihilatory logics endure.

هیچ چیزی غیر از فحش به ذهنم نمی‌یاد. بر بانی ظلم و ظالم لعنت. #مهسا_امینی

There is no Armenia 🇦🇲- Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 war! It’s an invasion copied from the Russian invasion of Ukraine (dictators are so unoriginal & predictable!). There are no two sides to this!

Being hospitalised is not that bad when you have good company. I spent first part of my hospice week engaging with brilliant narrative of Ntina Tzouvala I feel like I'm back at law school again - enjoying the theoretical engagements with the topic so close to my heart. Thank you!

برای من، ۲۵ شهریور همیشه میدون بوده. یعنی بچه که بودم، همیشه اون فسمتی‌ از اتوبان که ختم می‌شد به «میدون» ۲۵ شهریور، خیلی آرام کننده بود. سرعت بالای اتوبان می‌رسید به آرامش خیابونی که می‌شد توش راه رفت. و‌ البته هیچوقت نفهمیدم این تلاقی بی‌قواره خیابان‌ها، چرا «میدون» است؟

Schrödinger’s Immigrant: I had a fascinating convo with an acquaintance who told me that a certain (non-anglophone) academic dislikes me because as an immigrant from a non-European country, I speak better English than they do!!!

So, damned if you integrate, damned if you don’t!

someone said americans will invade your country and kill your people then 20 years later make a movie about how invading your country and killing your people made their soldiers sad
