Yalda, the Persian winter solstice festival, is held on the longest, darkest night of the year. Families gather to recite stories and poetry and enjoy a feast of fruit and nuts. They stay up to welcome the sunrise, celebrating the triumph of light over darkness. #WyrdWednesday

Yalda Hakim, who did the relentless bombing? Who killed hundreds of people on a daily basis? Who is still killing dozens?
When you can name Hamas but don't mention Israel. And as for "on the other hand". Still doing bothsidesism after 2 years of Israels genocide. Shameful.

I’m an American and even grew up in the very red state of KY, and I feel the same way Johanna and Yalda do. I have been trying to understand how the f*ck we ended up here and one documentary that helped me is free on YouTube—“The Brainwashing of My Dad.” It shows the money and effort spent…

For us Iranians, Nowruz and Yalda Night are far more important than Christmas or Easter, but there is no board book. A Nowruz board book would make a perfect New Year's gift for toddlers.

In Persian culture, the Winter Solstice is Yaldā Night, when people get together to eat, drink, and read poetry to each other. Usually poetry by Hafiz, because of course.
