the Iranian military attacked a crowd of protesters, killing ~88 and injuring between 205-8,000. The violence increased the unrest, leading to a general strike and the Shah fleeing the country in January 1979.
The massacre, known as Black Friday, began when thousands of protesters gathered in Tehran’s Jaleh Square for a religious demonstration, unaware that the government had declared martial law a day earlier due to widespread political unrest.
Some sources estimate that 4,000 people were shot down by tanks, guns, and military helicopters. The deaths were described as the pivotal event in the Iranian Revolution that ended any “hope for compromise” between the protest movement and regime of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
The massacre led to widespread protests, and a general strike in October shut down the petroleum industry that was essential to the administration’s survival. The Shah fled Iran in January 1979, clearing the way for the Iranian Revolution, led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

Yearning, etc
I do it to myself, every time. Stuck in observation mode when I see someone I have any amount of interest in. The more I think we’d be good friends or the more attracted I am, the less likely I am to ever take initiative. I’d rather fawn.
I’ve only ever dated girls. It’s new feeling this way about someone that’s male presenting. I don’t know how to proceed, and I don’t know a thing about him.
I don’t get, like, when you aren’t in social circles where you’re in proximity of said person, how you even make it happen. Maybe it’s just me but like, it feels creepy to go out of my way to “plan” to run into someone or like, maneuver to make an interaction happen.
And idk if he’s even into… whatever it is that I am. I don’t know how to find out. Like, my instinct is to start asking obnoxious questions. I’m out of ideas. “Do you like boys?” “Does he like boys?” “Do you like being pretty?”
I really don’t know how people are learning about each other. I really don’t know.

I don’t know if Trump will order flags to be at half mast, but I’m personally going to be at full mast for the rest of the week.
Given the recent history of these events I’m guessing it was a chud, who was either pissed about the Epstein files or thinks it would give Trump an excuse to bomb Chicago.
