I’ve earned many certificates over time, but this one is especially meaningful because it reflects the honour of representing my country and sharing a piece of our identity with others. #phd #university #certificate

It’s hard to say how weird I felt watching this as an Iranian! #iran

Brilliant gambit sir. Checkmate Iran!

My plant’s guest! #yellow_mushroom #plants

A gov supporter posted on social media that she is returned to Iran to defend the Islamic regime During the war. An activist mentioned her on Instagram. A few days later, a Kurdistan media outlet published the supporter’s name, but it was the political activist’s name, clearly wrong!

It's difficult to start your day by following the news. CNN (Bill Maher) is making a joke of your people's suffering, and the BBC tries to deny what is exactly happening in Iran! I wish I were not aware of the media plays and such a crazy media environment.

We celebrated the Persian New Year with Australians by sharing our culture and standing together, even in times of war. I also introduced the Haft-Seen to my university colleagues as a symbol of renewal, resilience, and hope. Light triumphs over darkness!

Media and woodturning do the same work. In the media, you shape people’s perceptions and even change the way they see the world. In woodturning, you shape raw wood to reveal its best form. Both are acts of transformation, and both are undeniably art.
