Iranians have taken to the streets of the capital Tehran to protest the death of a young woman who had been detained for violating the country’s conservative dress code.

The semiofficial Fars news agency said students in many Tehran universities gathered in protest on Monday, demanding an investigation into the death of Mahsa Amini and the dismantling of the morality police, who were holding her when she died.

Witnesses said demonstrators poured into Keshavarz Boulevard, a central thoroughfare, chanting “Death to the dictator”. They also chanted against the police and damaged a police vehicle. The witnesses spoke on condition of anonymity out of security concerns.

Late on Monday, Associated Press (AP) news agency reporters saw torched rubbish bins and rocks strewn across some downtown intersections as the smell of tear gas hovered in the air. Police closed roads leading to the central Vali-e Asr square. Plainclothes security forces and groups of riot police could be seen throughout the area, and mobile internet service was down in central Tehran.

Dozens of protesters on motorbikes briefly appeared at a couple of junctions, where they overturned rubbish cans and chanted against the authorities before speeding off.

Meanwhile, videos circulating on social media showed the third day of demonstrations in Kurdish-majority cities in western Iran as well as the northern city of Rasht and a university in the central city of Isfahan. AP could not independently verify the authenticity of the footage.

The morality police detained the 22-year-old Amini last Tuesday after they deemed her trousers too tight and that she did not have her hijab, or headscarf, on properly. Covering the head, hair and neck is mandatory for women in Iran, as is wearing loose clothing or a tunic or coat over regular clothes.

Police say she died of a heart attack and deny that she was mistreated. They released closed-circuit video footage last week purportedly showing the moment she collapsed. Her family says she had no history of heart trouble.

Amini, who was from the Kurdistan province, was buried on Saturday in her home city of Saqqez in western Iran. Protests erupted there after her funeral and police fired tear gas to disperse demonstrators on Saturday and Sunday. Several protesters were arrested.

Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi, who departed for New York on Monday to address the United Nations General Assembly, has ordered an investigation and pledged to pursue the case in a phone call with Amini’s family. The judiciary has launched a probe, and a parliamentary committee is also looking into the incident.

One day, the mother was a mother but then, one night, she was quite suddenly something else... At home full-time with her two-year-old son, an artist finds she is struggling. She is lonely and exhausted. She had imagined - what was it she had imagined? Her husband, always travelling for his work, calls her from faraway hotel rooms. One more toddler bedtime, and she fears she might lose her mind. Instead, quite suddenly, she starts gaining things, surprising things that happen one night when her child will not sleep. Sharper canines. Strange new patches of hair. New appetites, new instincts. And from deep within herself, a new voice... With its clear eyes on contemporary womanhood and sharp take on structures of power, Nightbitch is an outrageously original, joyfully subversive read that will make you want to howl in laughter and recognition. Addictive enough to be devoured in one sitting, this is an unforgettable novel from a blazing new talent.

Opening on June 2… It’s Pablo-matic: Picasso According to Hannah Gadsby.

Fifty years have passed since the death of artist and cultural icon, Pablo Picasso. He’s a mainstay of the modernist art historical canon and a household name whose artwork sells for record prices, but what does his legacy look like in 2023 through a contemporary lens? A critical lens? A feminist lens? 

Using their incisive humor, comedian Hannah Gadsby worked with our curators, Lisa Small and Catherine Morris, to consider Picasso’s work through the aforementioned lenses in It’s Pablo-matic. The exhibition includes nearly 100 works including pieces by Picasso and selections by twentieth- and twenty-first-century feminist artists such as Dindga McCannon, Betty Tompkins, and Kaleta Doolin. Highlighting Gadsby’s voice alongside those of many of the included artists, the exhibition reckons with complex questions around misogyny, creativity, the art-historical canon, and who gets to be a “genius.”

i'm reading through jane austen's novels and i'm like that inside you there are two wolves meme and wolf one is my desire to sympathize with jane austen knowing the societal constraints and practices she was railing against and wolf two is my primal need to bring her out of her grave and shake her bc so much of that rebellion and criticism more or less amounted to her condescending to other women

#like i find her simultaneous disdain for women who marry for money #and reverence for men who remain in engagements to financially and socially preserve women so fascinating. soooo fascinating #and i recognize a lot of people say that we can't impose modern standards of intersectionality or feminism on older writers but like #idk. i think that's giving austen a little too much leeway personally given her contemporaries #to be deleted

you don't like the inability to go back through the reblog chain because it makes it harder to 'prev tags'; I don't like the inability to go back through the reblog chain because it makes it harder to reblog a version of the post without an annoying comment, especially when some of the blogs involved are deactivated; we are not the same

#not rebloggable cuz I am just whining. I do not actually care about your stance on prev tags. #I have used them on occasion. I find them useful for responding to applauding someone's tags when it's too small for a full convo. #and I am uninterested in my activity becoming a battleground against staff. #but also it does drive me nuts when I'm like 'man this whole chain is great except for the last comment #which is not emotionally wrong but is factually inaccurate on one minute point that I am nonetheless going to split hairs about' #anyway this one was giving terfs too much credit for having come up with radfem theory and like. #terfs/exclusionists as their contemporary movement are new (and more importantly louder and more effective). #but this is a new iteration of radfems who have been kicking since the 60s at least. #audre lorde and bell hooks were not writing against radfems in particular long before you were born #for you to claim that feminism always unilaterally agreed on the fact that men are also negatively affected by the patriarchy. #like it's FINE if you don't know that but. it is a minute point that is nonetheless important to me not to repeat. ANYWAY. #not me going through a whole bunch of wikipedia pages cuz I second guessed myself about facts. #and I couldn't just be WRONG if I was mad about people being minutely wrong now could I.
