From Iran today, a link to an article on “sexting” in Tehran. My favorite line: “But is Bluetooth sexting and self-made Iranian pornography a revolutionary act?”

This is segment four in the “Who we are” series. In this series, I am posting You Tube clips that I believe define the Iranian spirit and diaspora better than the hatred-filled images in the media. This is part of the ongoing effort to write our own history. (See segments 1-3 below). Part 4: A [...]
From Iran today: Life and gossip go on

Here is a letter from someone who has not posted in a while. The person comes from a small Iranian village that has seen dramatic modernization in the last 20 years, with many people leaving to move to the big city or abroad. I thought it would be interesting for readers to see how dynamic [...]

Both teams were pretty good and were trying out for spots on the national team. While the game was a lot [...]

Posted in First Hand Accounts from Shiraz, tagged 13Aban, Iran, iran election, Orwell, Student Protests on November 3, 2009 | 1 Comment »
