Rest in peace sweet girl. You were loved by so many. The DC Muslim community is really feeling your loss. Thankful to have crossed paths with you.
This is 26 yr old Asra Hussain who lost her life in the plane crash over the Potomac River last night. Her husband Raza said: "She was returning from a work trip where she was helping to improve a hospital that really needed help. And, you know, she was doing what she loved."

Homophobia and stigma around intimacy and closeness results in a lot of men who don’t have an adequate support system due to inability to emotionally connect with others, especially other men or their fathers.

Black men specifically: MUCH more likely to get incarcerated or killed by law enforcement, or be the victim of interpersonal violence.

I love when girls get together and we start talking about family trauma and hopes and dreams and relationships and friendships and how it is being a woman in this society and it feels like sisterhood and it feels like healing.

Men are expected to want to and be ready to have sex with anyone or anything, resulting in shame and emasculation if they refuse, and dismissing of sexual assault.

Every single one of those 40,000 people massacred by Israel was a person with their own memories, hopes and dreams, families, passions, lives. Don’t ever forget that. They are never numbers, they were human beings robbed of their basic right to life.

people are so pressed in the responses so i’ll mention a few things: .-even in islam this is heavily debated and diff madhabs say diff things.-i did not insinuate that it is ALWAYS allowed in the first trimester. abuse/rape/physical and mental unwellness are agreed upon tho.

This thread was not meant to undermine the endless amount of issues women face with (I could write books on that), but to open dialogue and shed light on the issues men face due to the patriarchy.

ALSO. people act like the laws in islam are black and white. laws in islam are very nuanced and complicated and there are degrees of severity of punishment and it also allows for differences in societies. literal interpretations of my tweet are lazy and bias led.

Fatih Seferagic, a known serial rapist, led taraweeh in TIMES SQUARE tonight. This is who the muslim community is endorsing apparently. He has had several allegations and there’s a detailed investigative report against him. This is how little the community cares about our women

Weird Egyptian trait of the day: being physically unable to say no to people. Asked a store owner if he had a specific drink he said yes. Watched him walk over to a different store across the street, buy it, and then come back and sell it to me.

I used to believe the saying “you can’t love someone until you love yourself” and now I think that’s bullshit. Love, in all its forms, heals. True, unconditional love from others helps you learn to love yourself.

@wokestethoscope That is awful I am so sorry that happened to you. I’m extremely disappointed in the entire field and most therapists tbh. I would highly recommend finding an Arab one who has a a strong social justice orientation and who is well versed in how systems of oppression impacts people.

Reminder to go on Instagram and check who’s following Andrew Tate and unfollow them. This guy isn’t just an everyday misogynist. He’s a sex trafficker, rapist, and said he’d always go for the youngest girls he could bc “18 year olds have been through less men”.

Watched a tik tok about how collectivistic cultures are more lenient with timing and being late bc they allow for important family/community matters to be dealt with. So lateness isn’t punished bc it’s understood that life gets in the way.

The “male gaze”- women are dehumanized and objectified. Women’s thoughts, feelings, and backgrounds are minimized to be reduced to sexual objects. The “female gaze”- men are overhumanized. Women exaggerate a man’s thoughts, feelings, and backstory to create more depth.

“Jews” are not a singular ethnic group and are in fact made of many ethnicities. Some of them are indigenous to the Middle East vaguely, lots are indigenous to Europe. One things for certain: Palestinians are indigenous to that land and nothing justifies displacing people that-.
Jews are indigenous to Israel. Anyone who calls them "settlers" is an antisemite or an idiot (or both).

I actually don’t believe in the word “lazy”. “Laziness” is usually something larger at play, like burn out, depression, adhd, systemic barriers, physical issues. So if you’re starting to shame yourself as “lazy”, ask yourself, what’s really going on here?.

Pay attention to how you treat people as a marker of your mental health. Being bitter, mean, having poor boundaries, or neglecting your loved ones is a sign that you’re struggling. It’s not fair to them, and it’s not fair to you.
