    Iran is one of the most censored countries in the world. From 2021, even female cartoon characters broadcast on Iranian television have to wear hijab as “it is a necessity to observe tradition even in the world of animation because it can avoid dangerous consequences” said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, reflecting on the dangerous influence produced by cartoon heroines about young Iranians.

    Hello Pandas! My name is Ieva, though it's often mistaken for the word 'Leva,' and in Lithuanian, it means 'loser' (insert the pain emoji). While I don't take offense if you accidentally call me a loser, I thought I'd share something interesting with you, which I also do professionally at work.Anywayyy, my favorite part here is introducing you to creative people who deserve just as much recognition as famous celebrities. Besides that, I also enjoy memes and funny, lighthearted posts, and occasionally, I find myself drawn to a bit of internet drama.
