This viral Instagram image by Jalz combines an image of the Azadi (Freedom) tower with Matisse's dancers and the "women, life, freedom" protest slogan which is so central to the revolutionary movement.

The woman in the light-bathed field is isolated and still as a statue. The whole world seems to stop and think as a warm golden day comes to a close. This elegiac mood is intensified by the sense of almost infinite colours contained in the sunshine, for Pissarro, one of the founders of impressionism, here adopts Georges Seurat's very different aesthetic, dotting his canvas with pointillist pinpoints of different colours, meant to mix in your eye. The effect is strange and distancing as it freeze-frames the afternoon.

"It's now or never" for tackling the climate crisis. Those were the words spoken earlier this year, in the final section of the UN's latest comprehensive review of climate science, drawing on the work of thousands of scientists over many years.
As environment correspondent, I've spent 18 years grappling with this data and reporting on the science - and this is without a doubt the starkest warning yet, the strongest words I've ever heard from a body that is sometimes criticised for pulling its punches, and whose conclusions are often vetted and watered down by world leaders keen to diminish their impact.
The truth is that this latest report is the last one to be published while we still have a realistic chance of limiting global heating to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.
At the Guardian, we feel that up-to-date, fact-checked, independent journalism is key to taking meaningful action. That's why we have been reporting on global heating for decades, and giving scientific findings more publicity and prominence than any other news organisation. We have put the climate crisis at the heart of our work, knowing that accurate information is essential for the future of humanity, and the health of planet Earth.
Every contribution, however big or small, powers our reporting in tight economic times, and helps sustain our future. Support the Guardian from as little as $1 – it only takes a minute. If you can, please consider supporting us with a regular amount each month. Thank you.
