There’s a trend on Iranian Instagram where they’re taking last photos of their homes before they evacuate Tehran. Remember that Iranians are people with hopes, dreams, worries and fears just like you and I. Remember they lived lives similar to ours before the war.

Right before I saw the message from Trump I got a very different one from a friend in Tehran, so deeply surrounded by bombing that he was asking me to help communicate his last wishes. This is what my own taxes fund, so much pain upon my loved ones. We are complicit in so, so, so much violence.

Everywhere I look at the moment I'm seeing AI renderings of Studio Ghibli art. It's so depressing and such an insult to Hayao Miyazaki's handcrafted work, not to mention terrible for the environment.
