    So if you thought CALL OF DUTY is doing something cool, you have to watch this scene with a dying female fighter in METAL GEAR SOLID. Twenty years ago. 'I am Kurd, I was born on a battlefield, raised on a battefield. Gunfire, sirens and screams, they were my lullabies.'

    If you came here to figure out why I’m obsessed with Kurdish female representation. I was born with these stories, been rethinking them always. Like when everyone applauded our girls towards the frontlines. Why do we have to be other people’s heroes? 📸 SHOUTED FROM THE ROOFTOPS.

    Ik zou haar een andere naam hebben gegeven, dit is meer een Perzische voornaam en een Arabische achternaam. En dat soort vrouwen hebben vaak ook strijdersnamen ipv hun gegeven naam. Maar goed. Kan niet alles hebben he.

    Also, to correct : These are not only widows mourning their husbands. It’s also women honoring their female comrades. They stood shoulder to shoulder. Women and men.

    Het leuke aan waar ik woon is dat ik niet de deur uit hoef om de trends bij te houden. Alle modepopjes onderweg naar Rollende Keukens checken eerst hun outfit in mijn keukenraam.

    I can’t deal with this pain, knowing the people on the picture and the pictures on the graves.

    Widows mourning at the gravesites of their fallen husbands—Kurdish Iranian peshmerga fighters who were killed by an Iranian missile attack on their base in Iraqi Kurdistan in September 2018.

    De meisjesschool van mijn nichtje in Mahabad wordt door het Iraanse regime gesloten na deze video waarin Koerdisch wordt gedanst door leerlingen en (m/v) docenten. Bullshit om een goede school hierom te sluiten. Het fascisme van die lui in Teheran doet wederom mijn bloed koken.

    I don't know where to start thanking everyone who made it to the first Koerdische Filmdagen Amsterdam. We decided to host it under very basic circumstances. Just to see if you guys would be interested. And you came. With so many.

    Zin om in Istanbul of Diyarbekir ofzo met de Koerdische vlag te zwaaien. Of wat zeg ik, zin om in door Turkije bezet Koerdistan met de Koerdische vlag te zwaaien.
