hey guys, remember when men were men. ImageImageImageImage
i remember when men didn't wear make up or dolly parton-esque wigs ImageImage
everyone knows lace and layered fine fabrics imbued in rich color and draped across one's body are for women. ImageImageImageImage
Most of these men were the most powerful in their lands - they oversaw military expeditions, religious ceremonies, law and order, the lives of millions ... in those outfits.

Harry Styles, a rich man with cultural power, in a dress isn't radical or the end of manhood.

fin.

"[Muslim Pro] with over 98 million downloads is one of the apps connected to a wide-ranging supply chain that sends ordinary people's personal data to brokers, contractors, and the military."

Never struck me what a trove of data Muslim apps could be & how it could be weaponized.
Luckily I don't use to MuslimPro and use my friend's small, simple app (it's called Athan).
this is what the Athan app I use looks like. I’ll double confirm with my friend to make sure he’s not selling data to anyone (small app he and a friend made). Image

who is this masked, sunglassed hero

The “du fromage” killed me 😭😭
No I lied it’s the shimmy at the end for me. I have watched this about 30 times now.

having a conversation with this guy about how to better manage the counting of ballots and his thoughts on electoral college reform. Image
He says hi.

This is from when my life peaked and I did a short doc on Sesame Street from the set:

My beautiful Nana Jaan - grandfather - has passed on into the Hereafter.
إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ

If you are a person who prays, please consider reciting Al Fatihah for Maqbool Ahmad Shaikh and that he receives Jannatul Firdous.
I don't have much in me left, after a year and a half of so much loss; after six months of so much loss. So many of the elders who held our history in their tired eyes and their wrinkled hands, gone.
If you had asked me a year ago what grief is, I would have defined it as a visceral reaction to the loss of something gone too soon, taken away too soon.

Today, I understand grief to be a longing for time.

For more time.

Very sad to hear. I read a lot of Fisk in the 00s, when we didn’t see many journalists doing what he did, taking the positions he took. Saw & met him in 2007, at a talk w/young journalists where he said ‘You don’t give the slave and the slavemaster equal time’. Stayed w/me.
Worth noting he said that in the context of someone asking about coverage of Palestinians & Israel.
He went onto talk about how it was a moral imperative for every journalist to not treat the oppressed and the oppressor as equal in power and how any journalism that does this functions more as propaganda for the oppressor than as journalism.

This is appalling.

@JoyAnnReid first just throws out “Muslim leaders” encouraging “their followers” to ‘use their bodies to inflict violence’ (which leaders?). Then compares “how Muslims act” to American white nationalist radicalization.

When you use terms like “leaders”, you’re talking about individuals who have some authority & power in their communities. A Muslim leader can be anyone from a Shaykh/Imam to a president/PM to a community organizer. If she meant ppl like Baghdadi, well he isn’t a “Muslim leader”.
Someone like Baghdadi is a political and spiritual leader of a non-state militant group. That’s not a “Muslim leader”.
