PEOPLE I WORE EARRINGS AFTER YEARS AND IT FEELS SO GOOD SO FEMININE SO BEAUTIFUL
Have you ever experienced seeing your dream broken in front of your eyes and not being able to do anything about it? Have you ever thought about living in a tent in a cold and unclean ocean, sleeping on the sand, without a bathroom or water? Have you thought about living in a place where you can’t meet your family’s basic needs and feel helpless about it?
I am Shahd from the southern Gaza Strip. All my life, I have been building a life for me and my family. It persisted in a good future, when the war in Gaza began on October 7, 2023. We were in extreme fear during the displacement, and found ourselves in an insufficient small tent. Despite the lack of safety, food, clean water and the spread of diseases, we had to live this difficult life under bombardment, knowing that at any moment, my family and I could lose our lives
My whole life has been scattered, and I am extremely frustrated and sad by the ongoing genocide I witness every day
Do you understand what it means to be in a situation where you have been displaced over and over again, just to reach the only supposed safe area that I ordered you to go to by a much stronger force than you as an unarmed civilian, just to be told that you can’t be there anymore? After you lose everything, like your home, your memories, your friends, your family and loved ones, your job, and everything you have worked hard to achieve...
Amid these hardships, I see a glimmer of hope, because I haven’t given up yet.
If you know of any organizations, associations or entrepreneurs who support and fund projects, please do not hesitate to share my association with them.
They can also contact me directly.
I know that the path to success after destruction can be difficult, but with your help and support for me and my family

We have become the capitol
Being fighters against oppressive systems is cool until it's a white blond billionaire who doesn't utter a word about the genocide happening in maybe the recent longest geo-religious-political conflict ever that her country (she proudly represents) funding it. Oh and we might hurt her feelings for that because she just went through a breakup with a racist. Oh and she doesn't need to speak up about anything it's not her job, but commenting on a tiktok to disprove pregnancy rumors is so feminist and really shows how people need to stop commenting on women's bodies! It's serious matter.
the problem is that I want to know everything in the world but also I can't seem to do my laundry when I'm supposed to, rendering me absolutely useless
The last line...
you will get up & you will make that to do list & you will be realistic about your limits & you will take it easy but steady & you will eat good food & you will get things done & you will move your body & you will do things that make you happy & you will limit your screen time & you will be the thing that saves you
Kinda sad that the point of life is to constantly make yourself better and make the right choices. What do you mean that I have to be productive, I have to heal everything that went wrong in the first twenty years of my life, I have to get a job . I would just like to sit beside a river and read a good with coffee and cake. I would just like to rest. And walk across a field and watch the sunset and go on coffee dates with my bestie. And not think about capitalism and how it's killing the planet, the billionairs taking 13 minutes flights playing a role in burning my country (it was 50°C here last week) what is happening to marginalized communities in my country, generational trauma and corrupt systems and sinking economies. God I do not want to think about anything for a day.
Colonialism
Why it's not everywhere
The fact that I was listening to Arjit Singh last night and texted my bestie "I am in love, no idea with whom"
That lyric "tu lage mujhe pehli barish ki Dua" (You seem like the prayer of first rain to me). Idk much about Hinduism (my bad) but in Islam we have this thing that rain is a form of mercy so whatever you pray for, you get it when it rains. So like he is singing that she is his first prayer whenever it rains.
I will stop ranting now. 😭
lil bro's okay, but grandfather's not so good. it's still stable, but they're talking about travelling down west it's cooler, but it's gonna be costly oof. lil bro has scool in like 4 days, and it's likely they'll put out a circular to postpone school openings.
anyways have i mentioned i hate taylor swift? because i do so badly. one of my mutuals reblogged a "fav song" post with a taylor swift song and i got a papercut, she's bad luck see proved.
gooooooddd im so sick of all these edits with her lyrics. fandoms are polluted with her word and all these super cool gifs so talented and then i see her words "who else decode you" and i feel like throwing my laptop im so so so so sick of her and her brand of sickening white conservative "feminism".
i'm thankful she doesn't come to india i don't think i can handle the cooties. the other desi anon saying upper middle class girls liked her? totally true. i moved schools to like a richer more renowned one and i started hearing about her way more than i ever needed to.
anyways if you ever need recs to hindi songs, do let me know! i promise you every single lyric arjit singh has ever sung has contained more romanticism, more poetry that the entirety of her 30 albums and 900 copy paste songs, and that's after you translate it in english using google translate (bad translator for hindi).
I’m so sorry to hear that about your grandfather. I hope your family will find a way to travel west without it hurting financially. Also, your brother has school? In the U.S. this is around the time the school year ends. Is this the beginning of the school year or is this resuming school?
Right! Fandom is totally ruined because of Swifties. The only music they use in edits are hers and completely bulldoze any conversation when it comes to Taylor Swift, saying their faves would be swifties, no matter how OOC it is for the character. Like the “Hobie Brown is secretly a swiftie” post. HE WOULD NOT BE A SWIFTIE! Hobie is a fucking radical punk! He is the ANTITHESIS OF A SWIFTIE!
(Also-I was so confused by the “I got a papercut see bad luck proved,” because I genuinely thought that was a song title of hers. Her songwriting is just that bad.)
This is so damning, the correlation of wealth and Desi Swifties. This is what it’s like in the U.S. too but it’s crossed over with racial politics too. But generally richer = more likely to be a Swiftie. At least this is like anecdotal proof now rather than conjecture that I was accused of by other people.
Please send in the recs! I love expanding my music taste and from my limited exposure to Bollywood films, their soundtracks are always so fucking fire!
All right. I'm snapping.
To everyone who's saying shit like this, read the post below.
ONE DAY. JUST FOR ONCE. THINK BEYOND YOURSELF.
TO ALL THOSE CRYING ABOUT HINDUPHOBIA RIGHT NOW, ABOUT HOW NO ONE SPEAKS UP FOR YOU, THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU WERE WHEN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WANTED TO HAVE A PATENT ON TURMERIC. THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU WERE WHEN SOMETHING LIKE YOGA WAS FETISHIZED COMMERCIALIZED AND SOLD TO FOREIGNERS BY OUR OWN PEOPLE. THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU WERE WHEN ISRAEL INSULTED HINDUS BY CALLING YOU "idolaters" and "cow piss drinkers"
Thik hai.
Woh to Chhodo.
Where were you ten years ago?
Did you even talk about this before 2014, or like. Did something happen after that? Like. Are you getting what I'm saying here?
Thik hai.
Woh BHI chhodo.
The hindus who are truly oppressed today are the ones who aren't from a dominant caste. Are you really speaking up for the oppressed castes, working to end casteism in society? Or do you close your eyes to that?
Thik hai.
woh jara side mein rakhte hai.
Ask yourself, do you really care about hindus, or do you just want to drag others down and drag attention away from this issue? Do you really feel that hindus are oppressed, or do you just want attention? Oh you poor baby.
Arre bhai, sawaal jara kathin tha kya?
Thik hai.
Woh bhi chhodo.
DO YOU NOT HAVE AN OUNCE OF HUMANITY IN YOU? IMAGINE IF your loved one died, but you had to film them to make the world even think about you as humans. Imagine that the world is putting on a show to make everyone forget about you. And if someone told you that you had a chance to fight back, wouldn't you?
I'm sure y'all understand, since you are also "victims of a genocide" according to you, right? RIGHT??
Think before you post. "Why am I doing this?
i love it when people are obsessed with their wives. it’s like yeah that’s literally what you’re supposed to do
SO glad that france officially made abortion a constitutional right but i think people saying “france is going in the right direction, light years ahead of the USA” have all forgotten about all the racism????? hijabs and abayas are illegal in public schools and have recently been banned for french athletes in the 2024 paris olympics. france is actively making anti-muslim legislature. do not praise them without knowing what they’ve done
I am so tired of the portrayal of Hijabi girls as veryyy nice and sweet and like they would let people walk all over them. And specially if the sole purpose of their existence is to get married and raise kids (nothing wrong with that. Those are valid choices) Like no please. I am a Hijabi and people in my family have started calling me a feminist. They don't make misogynist jokes when I am present... even the adults. My bestie is a Hijabi and will fight any authority figure. I fought with a group of boys who tried to harass my friend. we have stood up to the men in our lives and even fought with them. We are angry and can stand up for ourselves and can have goals and ambition. Excuse any mistakes I am just pissed of rn. We are not the sweet nice girls sitting around waiting for a man. We are not calm. We are angry. Angry on men who try to use religion to control us. And angry on white people who think we need to take it off for their validation. For them to see us as equals. Both these categories can f* off.
#muslimgirlsrepresentation #hijabigirls #i am so angry #where do I put this anger #i hate this world sometimes
Finally someone said it
"Heeramandi aesthetic dressing up" girlie we are talking about tawaifs who faced multiple atrocities and women who were constantly faced with stigma as well as objectification.
Gentle reminder that the last thing Caligula heard, as he got killed by Frank was "Jason Grace".
The fact that I am thinking about wearing Niqab from now onwards but was confused about whether I should do it or not and then came across this
You will not find a single Hadith, even a weak one, describing how Aisha رضي الله عنها looked.
This is how careful the Sahabah and Muslims were, about letting someone even imagine what their women looked like.
And now, men post pictures of their own wives and daughters. Or women post themselves online to thousands of strangers. How far we have strayed...
"If the Sahabiyat wore Niqab in an era when modesty and chastity were exceedingly high, why neglect it in times of blazing fitnah today."
I don't have to say anything at this point
ZENDAYA Met Gala (May 6, 2024)
my problem with slb's filmography is that he romanticizes events so much that his movies/shows don't have the desired impact on the people. in padmavaat he glorified jauhar to the point that people started defending it and even sati. in gangubai, he made everything so grand that people forgot that the lady herself wasn't an all around good person. now, he's done the same thing with heeramandi. like i genuinely saw someone say that they wanted to live a life like in the show where they have 5 attendants to lift their skirt for them and whatnot. the people are so enchanted with the clothes/sets/etc that they have failed to grasp the main premise of the show. they fail to realise that the women he has shown had to go through innumerable brutalities and were just glorified mistresses with no power of their own. and living their life isn't gonna be fun and aesthetic.

Israel is bombing Rafah where millions of people are taking refuge. 610,000 children are in Rafah right now. Rafah is also a tent city where IOF forced people to go saying it's a safe zone. Israel has also taken control of Rafah crossing which means millions of people are trapped. Israeli tanks from three sides and sea on one side and bombing from the sky.
Fuck the Met Gala
Harris Reed at the 2024 Met Gala
Don’t fucking look away from Rafah, don’t look away, if you are willfully looking away then you should be ashamed of yourself.
Fuck the Met Gala, it means nothing but a distraction for those of you who are willingly looking away.
The Palestinians need our attention, they need our support, they need us to witness and remember and help when it is asked for and when we can.
All Eyes on Rafah, All Eyes on Palestine!
And Israel is bombing Rafah where 610,000 children are taking refuge. Where IOF forced them to go saying it's a safe zone.
F* the Met Gala

And Israel
Also how swifties would have defended Taylor if she was the one suffering from depression and didn't want to marry. And imagine Joe dumped her for that. Imagine how they would have defended her. Like it's okay for her to have depression but not for Joe
so by taylor’s reasoning if joe made good on his promises to her they would be married and having babies by now. except she is at great pains to tell us how trapped she felt in that relationship, how she felt overlooked, how she’s ‘only just getting color back in her face’ etc. etc. yet somehow… this wouldn’t have been a problem if they had just married? is she saying she would have been miserable with joe in london, but also happy about that??? which narrative is it, taylor?
exactly??? like how was it going to be better by getting married to someone who was making her feel caged? (as per her own words) she was also getting bored of him and pleasuring herself while thinking about matty. so how exactly was it a good idea for joe to marry someone who was emotionally cheating on him? was she gonna change her feelings overnight just because of a ring?
