if you had any doubts about the illegitimacy of the islamic regime , just go see the iranian people’s reactions to the death of their socalled president (whom they didn’t even vote for). We have been making jokes ever since the news of the possible helicopter crash broke out and now we’re remembering all the innocent people who were murdered by the regime in the last four decades and feel a bone deep satisfaction about Raeisi’s death. He was responsible for ordering the execution of 10,000 Iranian dissidents in 1988. He had so much blood on his hands. I hope he suffered in his dying moments and remembered all the suffering and deaths he had caused. I hope the rest of them will have violent deaths.

Crossing my fingers, wishing for every other dictator to fall from the sky, one by one. May we have a cause for celebration until the last one of them.

Gonna make a prayer circle to manifest this

as a POC I can’t overstate how much I appreciate this, the third one especially who has this look that has lost so much hope, you can see her eyes swell in real time post transformation and it just goes to show that looking good makes us feel good

it warms my heart to see so many reblog this from me, yet unless you’re Black? (with little exceptions) I don’t think you all really get it, so let me really paint the story here.

the thing about Black hair is that it is varied, like incredibly so. some of us luck out and get what we dub “Good Hair”, hair that is normally not as tightly curled and manageable with a little to midrange amount of effort. But many MANY of us have natural hair that is tough and thick, the curls are small, sometimes very tightly wound, it makes brushing and combing damn near impossible on top of other hair care methods. short as well as braided hair isn’t always desired but for many of us we have no choice, it’s just easier to maintain it that way, it is a sentence, not a style.

keep in mind that hairstyle is a statement, especially when you’re Black, your hair says so much about you in this community in particular. we also have the fact that our standard is held against White standards of beauty, and that is a whole different conversation involving privilege, systemic racism, and internalized hatred—like bitch, this has LAYERS!

take the age into account here for all these women, but in this case I’m specifically talking about the third. now, these are all educated assumptions, but you know where those tears are from? she’s had to live with this hair her whole life! and you just KNOW she’s tried everything!—heat, curling, straightening, perms, softeners/relaxers, HUNDREDS of products that make hundreds of promises, and many of these risk taking out the natural oil and proteins in hair which is a death sentence for Black hair. she had given up hope that anything good could ever be done I’ll bet. that transformation did more than style her hair, it gave her years upon years of hope; Listen to Black folk when they tell you, it’s more than just hair.

this man is doing more than hair, he’s changing lives…I just hope he knows that.

I wish this guy would meet my downstairs neighbors. They literally torture their hair with all manner of products that smell like literal poisons, with heavy-duty fumes that come up through the floor. Every day. And I have to smell and inhale them.

I just wish there was some natural, less chemically harsh and dangerous way for them to get the results they are spending hours every day trying to get. It's not healthy for them, or for me...the fumes all come right up through the floor.

Sometimes the smell of chlorine or peroxide, or formaldehyde or whatever thing they are all using that particular day literally burns my eyes and irritates my lungs to bad I have to leave the room...this morning I was awakened by it at like 7:30...it woke me up out of a dead sound sleep.

And I am on the floor above...there really is no escape...it sets off the winix air purifier all the time, so I know it ain't "non-toxic". And speakin' as an old hippie, I used to love the '70s afro look...it seemed so natural, and now it seems like it's all about anything BUT "natural".

And I never understood, but even non-black girls with curly hair always hated their curls...my late sweetie bein' one of 'em. I asked her to just let me try something after she washed it one time, and it because how she wore it from then on. I just got whatever she was using as "product" and got it on both hands and just scrunched her curls so they maintained their integrity, and told her not to touch it. They looked beatiful! Curls are meant to be curly! Hell, y'all may not remember but even us hippie white guys used to get PERMS so we could have curly hair too!!!!! I paid a helluva lotta money to get them curls! lol...shmd...how am i so fuckin' old? how?

“In the Cathedral Primada de Colombia the lights go out, in the background, a row of women with a punt on their heads sing verses that echo up to the ceiling. The praises are songs that are from different areas of the Colombian Pacific creating a bridge between the dead who leave and the living who remain.  

There are nine women that make up the Oro y Platino group, all born and raised in Condoto, Chocó, a municipality three hours from Quibdó, the department’s capital.

The praises are songs that bring together a large number of people around the death of a loved one. According to the age of the deceased, the songs tell stories told by a leading voice and a responding women’s choir.

The tradition, which goes back to the colony, in which the slaves sang celebrating that the dead would no longer be a slave, has lasted from generation to generation.”

Ebrahim Raisi had a helicopter crash, and rest assured, if he proves to be dead, Iran's internet will be cut off again. I don’t care how many news reports you see about Iranians being devastated by his death; we are not. We are the happiest we have been in a long time.

I feel like people are failing to grasp the fact that presidency in iran has turned into a lapdog position the supreme leader grants his biggest fascistic goon every 4 years. It cannot get worse than it already is because the president is not the one behind any of the big decisions anyway, at least not as long as khamenei is alive

The amount of jokes made by Iranians in the last couple of hours about the president's possible death is beautiful. I love my community.

Iran's president Ebrahim Raeisi is missing and is possibly dead after helicopter crash. He was directly responsible for the mass executions of Iranian political prisoners (majorly left wingers) during the 80s. Around 30 thousand people were executed at the time without proper trial. He was a criminal by international law. And I hope he burns in hell along other IR political figures!
