This has been bringing some joy for the last week.
Shout out to the kind folks from my homeland of Philadelphia for giving proceeds to PAWS, the Philadelphia Animal Wellness Society!
Since there is a slew of information regarding Iran all over the web presently, I am not going to reiterate what you have already seen by twisting someone else's words to become another talking head. I am not also going to feed into any trends that will ultimately just be wasting time. What I WILL DO, is pass along video that my friend, Maz, who is Iranian, sent me.
Maz Jobrani intially was a Political Science major who then became a hilarious, brilliant comedian and actor. His AXIS OF EVIL comedy tour, which aimed at breaking stereo types of middle eastern folk, may be seen and streamed on Netflix and of course a slew of not so legal methods of streaming too.
Below is the first clip he sent and please note the excerpt of translation I pulled from the page on youtube, located beneath it.
An excerpt of what she says: "...Where is this where weve been imprisoned so innocently? Where is this where no one gives us a helping hand?! Where is this place, where we are getting our voices heard worldwide through our silence? Where is this place where the blood of its young people is shed on the streets..., where people stand and pray on their blood? Where is this place where its people are named Gangsters & Thugs?! Where is this? This is Iran. This is my land and yours! This is Iran"
