I went out without my hijab today for the first time ever since I was 11 years old. I can feel my heart soar when I felt the wind in my hair. So this is what freedom feels like.
I'm not out to my parents yet about my decision to remove my hijab. That convo will be too exhausting to my mental health plus i don't feel like justifying my life decision to anyone. So I'll still need to pretend I wear hijab in front of them for my own piece of mind. For now.
Today is still a victory to me. I sat in my car and took off this hot, restrictive & repressive piece of cloth that has been wrapped on my head since I was 11. Today I got a taste of freedom. One day i'll move out and start living fully free.
I just would like to point out that freedom can mean different things to other women. I feel free without my hijab. Other muslim women feel free in their hijab because to them it's an act of worship to their Creator. The point is STOP controlling what women wear.
Yes, many muslim women are forced/pressured to wear hijab. Equally as many muslim women wear hijab voluntarily for their personal religious belief, just like in any other religions with their own religious practices. This is not a hard concept to grasp.
Fight for the believe that women should have the autonomy and basic rights to dress the way they want. Let grown women dress however they please.

I appreciate the support I've been receiving but please don't use MY personal struggle as an agenda to further your bigotry.
me, an atheist when muslims in this thread threaten me with hellfire (!!!) in the afterlife:

Intentional #MindControl Programming - a thread:

Intentional programming of an #Illuminati infant often begins before birth. Prenatal splitting is well known in the cult, a baby is capable of fragmenting in the womb due to trauma.
This is usually done between 7th & 9th months of pregnancy.

Techniques used include: placing headphones on the mother's abdomen and playing loud, discordant music (such as some modern classical pieces or even Wagner's operas). Loud, heavy rock has also been used.
Other methods include having the mother ingest quantities of bitter substances to make the amniotic fluid bitter, or yelling at the fetus inside the womb. The mother's abdomen may be hit as well.

I don't remember the exact year i heard the name MANTO for the first time (was probably 10/11 years old, 1990/91) but i remember the feeling in the room. The name was taken with a mix of scandal and respect in a gathering of adults. The name stuck like all forbidden things do.
Later in college i discovered his books. It was mildly disappointing at first because there was nothing titillating there. Was i reading the right Manto? It was shocking, powerful, and deeply sensitive but it didn't smell of cheap thrills. It smelt of liberal thoughts set free.
The obsession grew, puberty of the body had found other literary means to keep itself busy, mind needed adulting too. His Bombay stories opened up a city our films had hidden from us while the partition stories helped make sense of the trauma my grandparents were living with.

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

AU wherein, despite the prejudice people have against hybrids, Jeongguk’s managed to work his way up the ranks and establish a name for himself.
Taehyung, a hybrid w/ a difficult temperament, somehow falls under his care.
The only problem? Jeongguk wants nothing to do with him.
Little context:
More often than not, hybrids are sold as ‘pets’. The handful that do make smth out of themselves still fall victim to some sort of discrimination. Jeongguk’s gone through a lot & is disgusted by it all, so when Taehyung’s given to him, he hates the entire ordeal.
Notes
• Jeongguk has been aged up, so he’s four years older than Taehyung purely to allot for time wherein he becomes successful.
• This may border on nsfw.
• Taehyung will not act as a ‘pet’ or anything similar. He is a person.

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
