Something extraordinary is happening in #Iran:

#Women are really really not giving a fuck anymore

What started as protests over the murder of #MahsaAmini by religious morality #police in 2022 for not wearing her headscarf simmered and now is snowballing. Women and girls are not wearing the mandatory #hijab at ever increasing rates

Beyond the #hijab, there seems to be something of a massive grassroots change happening in #Iran in the last few months

And the government seems unwilling to confront it

“The young generation wants its basic freedoms, and it’s getting them through sheer perseverance” -Donya Amiri

Alcohol, dancing, women and men mingling, rave parties, musical theatre, fashion shows, concerts...

It is remarkable and extraordinary how fast it is happening

Outdoor Concerts? Uncovered Hair? Shimmying in Public? Is This Iran?

Young people across Iran have been leading a dramatic change in social mores in recent months. “We have a fearless young generation that is breaking taboos.”

@benroyce if things continue on the current trajectory I might find myself applying for asylum in Iran in five years.
