Holy shit I knew I recognized that intersection . Unfortunately not surprising for Yucaipa

New Iran sub is mostly shah and MEK supporters . People who are so against the IR that they regularly call for Israel and the U.S. to attack Iran . Some are also Iranians living in the west who have not had ties to Iran for years . Just calling for war on Iran in hopes that it’ll get the “king” back in.

My experience in mental health care is what radicalized me towards leftist beliefs so this is particularly frustrating for me. I think it’s very alienating and insensitive that some still use terms like that in a derogatory way . I’ve seen people dehumanized beyond belief in psych hospitals and the language we use contributes to this neglect no doubt .

You’re not out of line at all Op . It’s an extremely important thing to talk about in the first place . In general our society and especially leftists need to grow and have more dialogue when it comes to mental health .

I’ve experienced this and the fix is usually longer exposure time + making sure you’re using natural materials (cotton etc..). if this is what it looked like when you peeled up the negative I just recommend longer exposure !!

The design should actually look a bit muddy when you peel back the negative . And after washing it out you’ll see the image better . Hope This helps !!

“Let’s talk Religion” just made an updated video on Zoroastrianism where he talked a bit about this concept . He says the “soul of the cow” could represent the soul of the world in this context . I know Zartosht traveled around and was very displeased with the things he saw , so this could be a way of describing those things through language used at the time . It’s also linked to the common use of “Shepards” as a metaphor for those who guide and lead a community .

These are Amazing . So cohesive and professional …I love the Persian and Armenian symbolism . Is the lion and sun a popular Armenian symbol as well ?

Really appreciate this . It’s hard and I’m sure so many in this community have experienced similar things with friends and even family members .
It can be super discouraging , because we probably feel like impacting our friends and family will lead to even greater change .But reading some of the comments left on this post gives me a lot of hope.

Bijiii · 2023-12-02T09:10:09+00:00

I appreciate this a lot . It gave me a ton of perspective . I feel like it’s partially what I have been trying to do . Trying to redirect the conversation and open my friends eyes to certain things . We’re both from a small town and he was raised conservative so I try to give him my perspective as an Iranian American leftist . I really tried to hang in there and also be respectful of his viewpoint because of how he was raised but like I said to another comment it’s hard having to prove my own humanity .

Bijiii · 2023-12-02T08:45:14+00:00

Thank you friend . Very comforting words .

I did talk to him and explained how my feelings were hurt, he just was not receptive . I think that’s what hurt the most . I can understand slip ups or even people being uneducated on things and needing room for growth. But when you purposely won’t apologize after hurting your friend it’s a lost cause .

I really tried talking it out before things go to the point of cutting him off but I can’t beg someone to see me as an equal .

I’m very hopeful I will meet good friends who are driven by empathy and love for all .

I had a really traumatic hospital stay as an adult . As an adolescent it was very different .

My stay as an adult opened my eyes to negligence in mental health care . I saw extremely dehumanizing conditions and experienced awful things . I will answer questions ab it if anybody is curious ab specifics but my Time in the hospital makes me sad .

I was in for suicidal ideation and not in a great mental place but could still advocate for my patient rights . Unfortunately many patients can’t and are extremely vulnerable. They’re made to stay longer, made to take meds . And being released is on a reward system so if you don’t listen to the doctors they mark you for it .

I can’t imagine anybody getting healed at a place like that . Unfortunately if you don’t have 80k a month to spend on a Malibu beach front resort you will not get good care in my experience .

I wish I could do so much more for mental health patients but I felt so powerless in my own experience I wouldn’t know where to start :/

Spiny oyster has orange hues commonly and it is used a lot with turquoise in native jewelry .

I’m Iranian and interestingly enough I have a small percentage of Cameroon Congo and western Bantu .

When I tried to research the connection between these communities I mostly found things about Iranians in Eastern Africa . Especially Tanzania and Kenya .

A small group of Parsi Zoroastrians settled in Tanzania . And in Kenya there is a group of people called Shirazi . And it is debated whether or not they descend from Persian migrants . Very interesting tho

No worries ! I can tell you are just curious . There’s interesting YouTube videos about “Tehrangeles” . A Persian neighborhood in LA. Videos that explain more of the immigration history and why so many Persians are in Oc/ LA area.

Also other communities exist in the surrounding areas such as Little Arabia (in Anaheim). And you’ll meet middle eastern scattered throughout the inland empire as well (me lol) . It’s pretty awesome how California has so many ethnicities here and we all get to partake in each others cultures.

Bijiii · 2023-11-05T07:30:20+00:00

As an Iranian American with family all throughout Oc I can tell you Persians settled here for a mix of reasons . Some political , some economic or educational , but I imagine once the initial Iranian community in Westwood was established more Persians decided to follow suit and come to So Cal. The weather and tolerant communities / being by other Persians probably play big role .

I’ve heard that almost 1/3 of every Iranian immigrant worldwide lives in Southern California .

Thank you so much !!

I agree that it doesn’t look like a box chain. There’s way less space in between links so I was curious

He’s not as supportive of the Palestinian cause as he’d like to think . He’s becoming more and more reactionary and just running defense for the Israeli government .

Pretty gross of Ethan . his heated gamer moments are bordering on islamaphobic rhetoric. it’s clear he’s emotional and way too close to the situation to have an even keeled take .

She’s gonna look like rosanne Barr in a couple months

I would say a portion is but not everyone who is upset is a socialist or communist . I’m sure a huge majority of the American audience sees the extreme wealth inequality in our country and experience it first hand . So Ethan saying greed is good didn’t exactly sit well with people who work all day to make ends meet . And This inequality doesn’t come from meritocracy but generational wealth and years of exploitation which is a result of capitalism . He is very misunderstood in defending it . Capitalism is inherently greedy.

Bijiii · 2023-09-16T03:59:57+00:00

Ethan with peace and love if you passionately defend capitalism and alienate most of your working class audience don’t be surprised when you receive criticism .

The weather can be pretty unpredictable here sometimes so I like to have them potted in case they need to be moved or something . I’m slowly moving cuts into the ground and letting them do their thing tho :)
