Good luck with your contributions to these topics, but please add "social justice through a white people's perspective" , "participatory planning for white people", and so on.

These white people in academia are talking about participation, social justice, and similar topics, and they can't even understand how they should use Middle Eastern names in the first line of their emails. They didn't even ask AI! Thanks for excluding me and making me feel bad.

I'm not using the word "citizen" so much because cities have more stakeholders than just "citizens," such as non-humans, even. Residents can be more than citizens; however, official documentation makes me stressed because I feel I have to use a language that I don't believe.

Too much assignments but I'm enjoying I guess.

The Caspian Sea's shrinking is palpable. T-T

Every system discriminates. I'm stuck waiting for something that, if I were a different person, I'd already have.

Yesterday I was writing about how nice it is that I can see the sky. This morning, my glasses broke.

Finnish is way harder for me than German or French, but it aligns with my gender identity so much more.

One of my most beloved places is gone. Lake Urmia vanished in just 40 years under this government. Imagine erasing 13 millennia of life, beauty, and memory. I'm grieving.

بیشتر اوقات نجات‌دهنده، آب‌بازی یا قدم زدنه یا افراد رندومی که یادم میره اسمشون رو بپرسم.

آنقدر دارم اذیت میشم که نمیتونم توصیف کنم.

Can't sleep most nights lately. Just scared war might happen again.

تمام حس‌های بد ممکن رو دارم الان.✅️

Woke up at 6 with a question I keep asking myself:
Should I keep trying now, when our future and lives don't matter to politicians - when I could die, be homeless, or lose everything I've built tomorrow, next week, or next month?

بخشیدم و رها کردم.

I don't understand when some people ask why we didn't revolt during the Israel-Iran war. In the Women, Life, Freedom movement, I felt brave and could imagine a better future, but during the war I was only thinking about the moment - and how to survive.

Singing songs for kids when they hear missile sounds, buy new markers and watercolors, eat ice cream, and finally connect to email without a VPN.

I missed my Duolingo lessons, my sessions with friends, and all the things that made me feel alive.

After five days without internet in the war, I came online. In the darkness and sound of missiles I kept repeating, "I'm not alone." But when I finally connected, I understood: we're alone.

آره، مراقب خودت باش😭😭

سعید حالت چطوره؟

The only thing that I'm scared of is the war. I couldn't sleep yet. It's seriously a war - I'm not sure if we survive.😭

Morning coffee, breathing, and making beautiful maps.

من اومدم نرو.

Sending emails to professors about visa rejection is the saddest academic experience I've ever had. Just focusing on Europe now. Hope it gets better:((

Didn't enjoy Dubai much: 1) Malls are designed to keep you shopping - no benches, exclusionary vibes. 2) No eating/ drinking in public? Felt more restrictive than welcoming.

صبح بیدار شدم و با مامان و مامانبزرگم چایی خوردم و خندیدم.
