The Revolution Will Be Twittered

In Iran "Pretty" Is Sometimes The Protest




This young woman on the right? Is risking her life not only for protesting the fraudulent Iranian election but for wearing that shade of nail polish in public.

i don't mean to detract from the point of this post, but that woman right next to the woman with the nail polish? SMOKIN'.

actually, they're all smokin'. i wish that this could become part of the standard when the general population thinks about feminism.

They are so brave, I can hardly believe it. Amazing.

And who knew something with a ridiculous name like "twitter" would become so vital for information during a revolution?

They really are amazing. I've been keeping tabs on the news and the only thing I can think of each time is... wow.

I've been meaning to write a huge post on the protests. Women. Their role. Feminism.

It's just so amazing and inspiring. They are so strong.

*admires her and prays for her safety*

I hope to God that this is the beginning of the end of a bad era.

Their courage is utterly humbling, and inspiring.
