Hi friends. My best friend recently had a cancer mass removed from her thyroid. She’s recovering well, but she has expenses that need coverage while she’s in recovery. If you could please give to and share this fund that would be appreciated 🤍.
Muslim America is not JUST south Asian and Arab. That’s what seems to be promoted here. Muslim America is ethnically and racially diverse than what is being shown here. Black Muslims make up 32% of US born Muslims. Hispanic Muslims =17% US born Muslims
James Baldwin isn’t a “character” he was a real life person with real life, STAUNCH, stances on political issues that you as someone who’s slated to portray him should take time to honor.
Instead of reducing him and his legacy to simply being a “character” ooh I’m sick.
220+ applications in 16 months and I’ve only gotten 4 of the roles, 2 were temp internships, and 1 was a shitty job and the other one was a temp contract role. Others ghosted
I have all the data in a spreadsheet I’m gonna to write a piece on it soon. But yeah, these places suck.
@Essence
This whole article is ableist. Autism doesn’t need to be cured, we shouldn’t be sharing this message within the Black community. It’s damaging to individuals who are neurodivergent. Toni also needs to be educated on this matter and I hope her sentiments change
That’s why black Muslims make hashtags and events like black out Eid, because we’re never represented in mainstream Muslim spaces. We want our recognition. It’s not to divide us, it’s to address the issue of lack of acknowledgement within the Muslim community

That’s so interesting because akara in Nigeria is like a fried bean cake. whereas in the video we call it puff puff. I love that

He’s still abusive so idk what you’re thinking. We’re holding accountable for the fact that he hasn’t changed SINCE being a teenager. No growth
Often times in spaces like these or in orgs like MSAs, they’ll focus on the south Asians and Arabs and neglect to recognize the other racial/ethnic groups.
Baldwin’s stances on issues abroad most definitely are tied to his stances on domestic issues. For Porter to not understand that, to not see the nuance in that, and to not remotely care, is so sad. It just means his portrayal of Baldwin is going to be very flat.

@TeenVogue
your Eid piece has a glaring oversight by not interviewing any Black Muslim women for the story.
Black Muslims across the diaspora have impacted Muslim culture in America for centuries, and our style does too.

My favorite thing about these photos are my lips. I was told they were too big and didn’t look nice in red lipstick throughout middle school (HMS worst place EVER 🤢)
But they’re freaking gorgeous 😤 and I am sharing cuz I love these selfies (also peep my brows 👀💕)
My friend went to an MSA event at her college, and the host was like “shoutout to my Palestinians, shout out to my Egyptians, etc.” She failed to mention any other countries that weren’t Arab except Bangladesh. So that just erases the Muslims who don’t hail from those places

I work in social media/digital comms for non-profit/journalism so the majority, if not all, of my work is remote friendly. I’ve just prioritized applying to roles at orgs and companies that offer remote or hybrid workplaces.
When making a space for Muslims, organizers need to be cognizant that these spaces aren’t catering to the stereotype of Muslims that everyone knows. That it breaks the narrative that non Muslims are used to. That not everyone look as if they’re from the exact same place.
And another thing, don’t say that you’re diverse because you have token black Muslims like Ibtihaj Muhammed or Halima Aden. I love them both very much, but people think if they put those two black Muslims into a space, then everything is alright when there are so many more of us
Shake’s fatphobia and fixation on superficial shit is rooted in his own internalized hatred for himself. He feels the need to overcompensate cuz he sucks and he knows that 🤷🏾♀️

@tiannakellyread
and it was everything and more. This clip is just from the end credits but you can FEEEL the movie and score brought to life.
UGH I love Daniel Pemberton so much for this masterful work of art.
@ActuallyGina
I think the reason why people are upset, well at least women, is because men be coming us for our wigs and weaves 🤷🏾♀️ but like they can do them as long as they’re not hypocritical
The Greek coastguard claimed it didn’t intervene when a boat carrying asylum seekers and refugees capsized last week because those on board refused help, leaving as many as 750 people to drown.
Activists say Greece delayed aid as those on board pleaded for help for 15+ hours.
Y’all think you’re doing something by putting Breonna in “cute recipes” and your “captions” and sunshine graphics but you’re not. You’re desensitizing her name and her story. Cut it out

It’s not pho the noodles and soup are different. Someone said it was a Chinese hot pot dish though, called Chongqing and I think those are ramen noodles used
I’m disappointed that I myself pushed out those claims without waiting for confirmation.
It still doesn’t excuse the rampant and dangerous homophobia in the Muslim community though.
"A good Christian boy."
How did the false claim that O'Shae Sibley's killer was Muslim get reported & repeated so widely? Think about who benefitted from trying to reframe the murder of O'Shae as a manifestation of specifically '*Muslim* homophobia.'
I received my data from the Pew research center. My interpretation may be incorrect and for that I apologize but the sentiment still stands. Muslim America is not cut from the same cloth and should not be promoted in that nature
Two more videos because now I’m emotional 🥲
A good score is everything for a movie. And Spiderverse has done it not once but TWICE!
Everyone go see it go see it go see it live.
@valentinavoight
I don’t think that should even be allowed. Cuz like if one country don’t follow through it impacts all the other ones. Now America moving wild we’re gonna infect other countries like the conquistadors did
@valentinavoight
Why doesn’t anyone tell them to stop? Why is it up to the one being attacked to take the the road? Like my parents would tell me don’t react to bullies they’ll get tired but they never did. They just continued no matter what my reaction was. It’s the same here :/
Im sorry ive tweeted about them in the past 24 hours but I’ve gone through this whole thread and like
Casa Amor aside these two have been consistent since they first laid eyes on one another. Only something absolutely stupid will break them on the outside
I don’t know if it’s too late however, I have a YouTube channel and blog that I’ve just started and I plan on addressing topics like this and more on both platforms. My link to my channel is in my bio it’s As Told By Hafeezat and my blog is
You cannot hire full time fellows and not pay them a full-time REASONABLE salary
Insider Im looking at YOU! How does your EIC make $600,000 and you’re paying fellows $20/hr. That’s $41,600/yr who can live off of that in any major city?!

@smileitsjen
Evil eye is common in many cultures! I know as a Muslim we’re always warding it off which is why when we celebrate we’re like “you better say mashAllah” 😂
@LindseyCreated
She literally is saying that she did extensive work to make sure everything was sound like
They showed you what they wanted to show you. That’s really it gorl
Can we stop pacifying old politicians and acting like they’re illiterate? They know what the current costs of living are like because unfortunately, they’re living 😐
They’re aware of their constituents issues. They just don’t CARE. They don’t CARE to help us it’s that simple
Arrogance will never win in a courtroom. Reading the Bible while your ex testifies shows rudeness and an inability to take accountability for your actions. Jonathan did that. Juries don’t like that.

Seeing older African immigrants working in the cold really hurts me because it’s like. Their whole life shouldn’t be filled with labor, they deserve rest and a decent livable wage. I wonder how much those people that pass out brochures in Times Square make
@nisadang
My therapist said the same thing to me. I went to her saying I think I have ADHD and she was like you have ADHD symptoms due to PTSD and I was like oof 💀 (still think I have ADHD tho 😂)
The lazy portrayal of Black Muslims in Black American media needs to be discussed. Because Black Muslims have been here for centuries, not decades, centuries.
But we’re relegated to NOI punchlines, bean pie jokes, and our practices are mischaracterized (see: Bel Air)
