“We knew the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love, and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them.“

You shouldn’t point out things about people’s appearances if they can’t fix it in ten seconds.

She treats you the way she wishes someone would treat her. So please don’t be annoyed if she keeps asking if you’re alright. It’s just because no one ever asked her.

Post about Ramadan.

There have been various posts spreading incorrect information about about Ramadan. Normally I am excited by people posting about Islam in any manner; the religion is a fascinating one. However, I became ashamed.

The people who posted about Ramadan seem to have no idea what it is, the rules, or the reason it occurs.

The biggest problems with the posts:

Myth: Tagging food as “NSFW”, as seeing food will break fast

Fact: Seeing, smelling, or being around food in general will not break fast. Also, the fast is going without food and drink, not just forgoing food.

Myth: “if they see food on their dash you’re just making it harder for them to restrain from eating”

Fact: This is offensive because it says that Muslims do not have the self-control to look at food and then abstain form eating it.

Myth: “ I’d just seen a couple pieces of untagged NSFW content on my dash, my fast would have been broken right now ”

Fact: Your fast is not broken by viewing images- fast is broken if you act upon desires.

Also, if you read the first post, the person admits they do not know much about Ramadan- but they continue writing instead of reading. Also an important part of Ramadan is avoiding distractions-TV, music, and internet. Which means some Muslims will not be on Tumblr anyway.

Never ceases to amaze me how non-Ramadan observing people try and educate ‘the general public’ about something they have no first-hand knowledge of. I get it that they mean well but it only creates confusion. This here is a good, educational post instead - if you want to know more about Ramadan and how to respect it then here you go.

White couples that adopt non-white kids

[draumbouy-deactivated20150111]

If you’re getting mad at someone for adopting a parentless child and bringing that child into a loving home because their skin color doesn’t match then you need to take a good hard look at your priorities, evaluate your life, and ask yourself how you sunk this fucking low.
