Strawhat summer ☀️

[peachybeesplease]

shit dude, here’s to all of the quiet victories. the things that other people take for granted but are so, so hard for you. the way your voice didn’t shake when you ordered your drink, the time you felt a swell of pride at something instead of shame, how you got out of bed after only the second time hitting snooze even though you couldn’t imagine anything more difficult than facing another fucking day. fucking cherish those. relish them, rejoice in them, do not let anyone pluck them from your grasp because they are yours and they are important.

It is our duty as feminists to protect and respect women in Hijabs

[fiercefatfeminist]

Now. More. Than. Ever.

[princeoftheplayground]

Question: if I see someone pull off a Hijab, what should I do? I know there are reasons they are worn so I want to if i should stand in between them and who did this, should i protect them from view somehow, or something else? This has been happening a lot so I feel it’s something everyone needs to know.

[protectnevillelongbottom]

Good question! I cannot correctly and effectively answer, as I am a white, non-Muslim person; however, I will reblog in case any of my followers can answer. 

[inquisitivespirit]

I asked my Hijabi friend, so here’s one Hijabi’s answer: 

“my opinion is, definitely try cover them or give them something to cover themselves with. And perhaps shoo off the person, without putting oneself in danger! God forbid, if that happened to me, I would like someone to come and comfort me and give me something to cover my hair with and then help me report it to the cops “

[animatedamerican]

(Followers, if any of you are hijabi and would like to expand on this answer or offer alternatives, please do.)

[scifibi77-deactivated20190412]

If u see it happen to 1 of us, pls cover our head + hair with a coat or shawl or any piece of cloth, while hugging us in comfort. Please don’t get hurt by lashing out @ the perpetrators in any way, coz if they dare to do that, they’re probably too far gone in their own hatred to listen to any reason. Much love + Thank You to anyone who supports us.

[meanieyards]

yes !! everything said here is important af. if you see someone pull off a girl’s hijab immediately cover her hair and provide comfort. don’t talk to the perpetrator but try to get the woman out of there if you can. maybe if you have a scarf on you at the time give it to her so she can wear it until she’s alone and can replace her hijab. please please protect muslim girls because we already had it hard before donald trump became president and now its gonna be worse with people going around thinking their violence and cruelty is justified 

[hollowedskin]

for my other white ppl who might have a hard time, it’s my understanding that a hijab is like a major item of clothing, not an accessory like a hat or a scarf. so think abt it more like if someone just ripped someone’s shirt or skirt off. u don’t want to be left there exposed or have to walk home without it.

everyone, even outside America needs to protect our Muslim sisters in these times.

[quadriparesis-deactivated201908]

as a man, what would be the best thing to do? should i turn my head and avoid looking at their hair? can i still offer a jacket or something similar?

[wear-it-like-armour-bastard]

^I’m hoping someone has an answer islamaphpbia is on the rise in my town and I want to be a good male non Muslim ally

[soul-angelos-deactivated2023102]

For men, yes please, we would prefer it if you avoided looking at our hair, and if we don’t have something to substitute as a hijab at that moment, anything you could lend us, a jacket, etc, would be very appreciated.

Also, since most girls avoid physical contact with men they’re not related to, please do not hug them, but rather shoo the offender away if you can, or at least escort the girl to a safe place. You can still offer words of encouragement and support. Furthermore, understand that the victim may not be very welcoming towards you because she’ll obviously be shaken, and won’t know where you are coming from. If that’s the case, please still give her something to cover herself (hijab is very important, think of it as someone ripping your shirt off) and stand some distance away until you are sure she’s in safe hands.

Thank you so much for your support, we really appreciate it, god bless all of you.

[clairethehuntress-deactivated20]

In the horrible climate we’re currently in, please take note of this.

As a white girl who supports these women with all my heart, BOOSTING!!!

[dreamertrilogys]

as a hijabi muslim girl this makes me so happy

[purecanesugar]

Share!

[official-lucifers-child]

There’s many reason why I always have a flannel on me, and this is one of them.

Just the other day I gave it to a kind hijabi girl at a cafe because some asshole reached across the counter and ripped her hijab off, saying that she’s now “free” from it

Followers, please rb this and keep this in mind!!!

[elfwreck]

I’ve been told it’s the equivalent of pulling a woman’s shirt off and leaving her in her bra. Sure, she’s technically covered, even more than some women in bikinis - but her first priority is “get something to cover up with,” not “chase down the person who took her shirt.” And guys who want to help her cover are appreciated, but she doesn’t want them staring while she covers up.

If you are outside India, I am practically begging you to reblog this

Last week India passed a blatantly anti-Muslim law that seeks to naturalise millions of immigrants, except if they are Muslims.

In August of this year, India revoked the autonomous status of the Kashmir region, putting a communication blackout on the state. Kashmir has entered the fifth month of no internet and heaviest militarisation of any region in the world.

India is a secular, socialist republic. This bill is anti-constitutional and against the principles on which the country was founded

Naturally, there have been protests across the country. At the forefront of the protests are students from India's public universities.

Police opened fire on peaceful protestors in Jamia Milia Islamia University in Delhi, and Aligarh Muslim University in Uttar Pradesh.

Ever since then, the ruling fascist Hindu nationalist political party, the BJP, has been doctoring videos and sending fake news all over the internet, discrediting protestors and labelling them as terrorists

India has already seen too much religious violence, please please signal boost this, call your representatives, make them aware, get them to make statements. The only thing India and its dictator Modi care about is its image abroad

[kpop-ruined-my-social-life]

You know you're European when:

They have to defuse a WW2 bomb in your city and nobody is really concerned because that happens from time to time. 

[margotapproves-blog]

WHAT #noteuropean 

[lynnerdo]

dude there’s entire fields in the west part of Belgium that just has a small “Watch out, mine field” on it, and sometimes farmers don’t know and put cows on it and they get blown up. Shit happens. #WW2

[scienceoftheidiot]

Happens because of WW1 (WW2 too but there’s less stuff left) in northern France too. 

Almost walked on a non explosed pair of shells while looking for mushrooms. 

[scyllaya]

I was born in a small town in south Hungary… they didn’t just find one WW2 bomb somewhere around the town… they found 1200 bombs right outside the town in 2014.

Yes, around 1200 German SD-1 fragmentation bombs… only found in 2014!

[wordsformurder]

I love those radio announcements. This part of the city, along with this highway and also, all trains going through, are going to be shut down on Saturday afternoon because bomb.

And all anyone bitches about is the detour they’re forced to take because if it didn’t blow up the past 71 years, they could have waited another week to defuse it, couldn’t they? Eugh.

[pheuthe]

there’s a flood? oh hello forgotten WWII ammunition in large quantities you go take a walk in the forest? oh hey WWII mine! kids play football in a field? good thing they didn’t kick that mine they found. someone actually looks through the old metal parts in a salvage yard? anti-aircraft mines! tbh nobody usually makes a great fuss because it very rarely actually hurts someone. but yeah until now I was always like ‘lol another one’ and never thought about it much XD

[wolfvesinwinter-deactivated2017]

There’s a roadblock in the middle of the city? Oh no worries it’s just a bomb. A whole block gets evacuated? Oh no worries. Bomb.  #LifeinGermany

[duncan-rohanne]

same in czech… we literally have closed forests where no one can go, because mines everywhere and lol, our neighbor was building water well on his garden last year and he is digging and digging and then he hits something solid, surprise it’s a wwii bomb…

[magog83]

Here’s one being detonated in Yorkshire in 2009 (from WW2)

[dshfgwrwfbdwawfuewgsfdbl]

Wtf are you guys ok

[damnit-bones-deactivated2018120]

Yeah it’s fine, this shit is essentially gossip material and nothing more

[elena-cat-empress-of-all-deacti]

We had one in our city recently(ish). If I recall right they evacuated a student accommodation or something, and they watched it get detonated.

It was more like a social event than trouble.

[kakumei-no-tomoshibi]

You all sound so surprised that we still have some bombs around from being LITERALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO WORLD WARS. 

[nestofstraightlines]

I feel like the US - and fair enough - don’t quite get how present and clear the effect of the world wars is in Europe.

Like I was in TK Maxx in Balham today failing to find any decent bras. As I went in I glanced around and noted not for the first time how there’s this really distinct break in the style of buildings along that road. This is why:

At 8.02pm on 14th October 1940 a German bomb was dropped directly on Balham Underground station. The torn-off shopfronts are where the TK Maxx is now.

My other stop before getting home was at the Lidl on the corner of my street. Why was there space to build a supermarket there in the first place? Because it was a bombsite.

London was a bombsite.

That’s every explosion in London during the Blitz.Around 10% of dropped bombs are estimated not to have exploded. They’re still digging them up all the time. Last year London City airport had to be closed down while two unexploded V2s were dealt with

There are areas in northeastern France which are still off-limits to humans because of the huge number of unexploded shells and mines the toxicity of the soil from World War One, called Red Zones.

War really fucks a place up.

[xantissa]

I feel like people really don’t understand the difference between a war some county is waging somewhere else and a war that happen right on top of you.

Any bit of grassland or field you dig in Europe or in my example Poland will yield you some ammo or a piece of a bomb within first 15 min of digging.

There was this American show about treasure hunters working with metal detectors that wanted to shoot an episode here looking for some meteorites. They gave in after the first day because the detectors kept wailing non stop. They found a lot of ammo and rusted out guns.

It’s not just bombs, it’s also things like : oh, bus fell into a hole!

The hole turned out to be a secret ww2 bunker that nobody knew existed that caved in.

[nightwatched]

Happened in my city and someone just picked it up and put on the bin

[knuffeltrein]

Back in 2011, they went to add a new part to my town. And shortly after breaking ground they found 4 1000 pound bombs. And then another five. That was literally like, a few hundred metres behind my house. So logically they pulled out the ignition. And invited ppl to come look at them. Before eventually destroying them.

As it turns out a plane want down there, and it dumped it’s bombs there in a line.

Later they also found remains of Neolithic settlements there

[aerospace-agenda]

a few years back, there was some construction work near me (as in, about 5 minutes walk away) that dug up about a 1-tonne bomb

it literally shook the house i was in when they detonated it, heh

there were also the times that my schools got evacuated because of nearby bombs being unearthed

[kirkypet]

[primarybufferpanel]

Yeah, last month or so there was an archery competition in the forest and when searching arrows about 10 meters behind a target they found a box with ~140 anti-tank grenades. War leaves shit behind in all sorts of ways.

[nibi-nix]

#I feel like this is hard to fully grasp for Americans and people in other countries where war has never come to them#it leaves deep traces in the earth and in the minds (x)

[arsenicjade]

All of this is legit fascinating to me, and I realize this seems like a crazy question, but: is TJ Maxx called TK Maxx in Europe? Or are these two things named bizarrely similarly and yet unrelated? The TM atty in me needs to know.

[myonlyaurora]

I’m not even from a European country but from SEA and my country just deadass defused a ww2 bomb too?

[loonyginger]

Welp, that happens quite often here.

Can we talk about the noise San made?

And the fact that Wooyoung started the next game immediately?

san: what do i have in my bag?? me, whispering: is it love for atinys…? 🥺

[supportnlove]

I'm kinda done with K entertainment? I support idols and all that. But the industry? That shit wack.

It's honestly scary how the media handle stuffs regarding passings.

Like.. the toxicity in this whole area is scary. I feel for all the idols that gets treated like dirt on a sidewalk.

They are humans; with real emotions and real struggles. How do others forget that? Just because they're on a screen doesn't mean that they're unbreakable.

Like honestly, can you imagine being in the limelight? Because we just see what they wanna show us. They don't show their hardships or tears (and if they do show us, its 1% out of 100%) cause having a weak mentality is frowned upon.

I feel pain and real sorrow for those who lived and live in this kind of environment.

And it saddens me so much that a lot of supporters can't handle flaws or mistakes from their role models. They are humans. We are humans and we all fall and rise. We all feel pain and happiness. We all feel pressure and achievement. We all feel hate and love.

So please be warm and be kind. We never know what one is dealing with behind doors.
