Okay, but also: if you see a Muslim praying in public and they have something in front of them, like a purse or a bag or something like that, you can pass in front of them, but pass in front of that object.
it’s called a sutrah, and it’s meant to act as a physical barrier between the person praying and someone who might happen to pass in front.
Also, if you did this and didn’t know, please don’t beat yourself up over it. Now you know! Muslims aren’t supposed to pass in front of Muslims praying, either, because prayer is communication with God and you don’t want to break that connection.
Similarly, if a Jew is saying the Shemonah Esrei prayer (whispered, moving only the mouth, standing facing east with legs together) don’t go in front unless there’s a barrier.
rb with your name, orientations and gender, preferred pronouns, optionally some struggles or joy being LGBTQ has brought you, and some comfort/affirmations or whatever for the person before and after you!!!! why is this so detailed bruh. and tag peeps ig??
Hai! I'm Nyxon
I am transgender FTM, asexual, and omniromantic!
My preferred pronouns are he/they!
Being LGBTQ makes me happy. Despite being cloested, it makes me feel like what I am actually makes sense and I'm not just some weird ahh guy. I used to be a girl who was angry a lot of the time for no reason, which is ironic ngl
I am [sexuality has not been unlocked], asexual, and nonbinary!
My preferred pronouns are They/Them. :)
I have a bunch of friends in the LGBTQ+ society...*stares*
Person before me: *deep breath* GET GENDER-AFFIRMED NYXON! HOW HE/HIM OF YOU! THEIR SO AWESOME GUYS LOOK HE/THEY HE/THEY HE/THEY BOY BOY BOY! AHHH THEY ARE SO ACCEPTED AND SCRUMPTIOUS WOWZA! EVERYONE LOVES THEM THEM THEM RIGHT???? (I am. So sorry if this is overboard. ^^' You can burn me at the stake if you want.)
Person after me: You're so cool and amazing and I think you deserve everything you put your little LGBTQ+ friendly heart to. :)
Happy pride month everyone! Have a very safe month because I am going to run over all the homophobe-shaped speed bumps as a treat! :3c
@sacabambaspis-offical @ashelf66 @confused-cookie-blog @toaster-waffle-offical @bacone-official @britishtea-again @unlabelled-offical @genderqueer-offical + anyone else who wants to join! Yay! This was fun! ^^
hey, i'm genderqueer. (no real name yet... so nicknames are very welcome)
i am genderfluid, aegosexual, and abroromantic!
[id: i am genderfluid, aegosexual, and abroromantic!]
my preferred pronouns depend on the day or situation... but i use she/her and he/him separately, or sometimes interchangeably. currently i think i'm going by he/him right now...
being queer is a very mixed experience for me. romantically, i absolutely love that i am able to feel attraction towards the beauty of every gender (albeit, sometimes at different times), however, for sexual and gender orientations, it can make me quite frustrated. because i'm afab, my gender dysphoria can be insane when i'd rather be male, which makes it irritatingly hard to be alone with my thoughts. secondly, the only reason i'm aegosexual (asexual) is due to the fact that i am not amab. when i'm feeling more male, i have a tendency to fantasize (not going to say it explicitly, but you know what i mean) and have it immediately tamped down because i don't have an amab body. it can get really fucking annoying.
person before me: hey pen, thanks for tagging me! you seem really cool and i'm very grateful that you're running over all the negativity :) have a safe and happy pride month!
person after me: though i haven't read your post, all of you experiences are valid. if you aren't already, you are going to be okay, things are going to work out, and everything you've done will very soon pay off. thank you so much for reblogging this post and sharing part of your life with us! have an absolutely gorgeous day, and an even better pride month <3
i'm choir, not sure i really have any other names here yet ^^
i am non-binary, asexual and panromantic!
my preferred pronouns are they/them
being queer is important to me. there are so many labels that you can find and sure it may take a while before you find the right one, but the community is so accepting most of the time. i feel like i have a chance to be free in my identity, even if i'm closeted to my family and even though i struggle every day with nearly being outed.
person before me: thank you for tagging me, genderqueer!! i've always admired genderfluid people - even if you don't really choose how you feel and when, i've always gotten the kindest vibes from you. i think you're strong and brave in sharing about your identity and the reasons for your sexuality, a lot of people would never share that. have a fantastic day + pride month!
person after me: thank you for reblogging! you are loved, you are worth it, you are allowed to be whoever you want to be. nobody else can stop you from being whoever you are, even if it's just for yourself. happy pride month everyone!
If you could be any sort of undead, like a ghost, vampire, zombie, etc, what would you choose? I'm very curious to see what people will say, hence the tag game to make it spread a bit further!
Obviously I'm satisfied with being a ghost, but I would be a vampire if given the chance!
hmm that's a good question. i guess it really depends on what kind of interpretation you're going off of for each... butttt, i'm not gna go all into it.
at first glance, probably a zombie. the generalized vision of zombies is all they do is walk around and eat people for their brains... seems pretty relatable.
i, too, have the urge to obliterate the people around me for being much smarter than i am.

Fun tag game idea: say something that most of your followers wouldn’t actually know
I’ll start first: I am actually married. Irl. I have a husband. I know it’s surprising considering the Tumblr spouses, but my husband thinks it’s funny.
One of my ear canals are notably smaller than the other. It makes it harder to clean, and it kinds hurts sometimes, but otherwise it has no effect on my life and I didnt even realize until a few months ago.
I unironically thought undertale took place in hell. I didn't figure that out until at least four years of knowing the game existed, when a friend was speaking about the game and I mentioned that. As it turns out, "the underground" is in fact, just a place underground.
When I was 13 I used to go to the master bedroom and hide my parents' lube. I didn't steal it for myself or anything, I just threw them behind their dresser because I really hated the possibility of getting another sibling and that was the best way I could think of preventing that.
@simplystarrysky @mrblackhaironthestreet + open tags (i didn't realize that's something people specify? i always assume open tags)
that last one is incredibly funny! I'll follow your format lol
three random facts:
1) i once stole a weed-related product from right behind an empoyees back and i had to go in my tiptoes to reach over a transparent plastic divider to get it. i have never been caught and that might be my riskiest sticky-fingered stunt yet. i keep a mental catalogue of surveillance in stores, on streets, etc. oh and for some reason i tend to sneak up on people unnoticed even though I don't mean to and it seems crazy sometimes -- like I'll be in steel-toed boots and embodying a large sillhouette and regardless only be noticed when I'm within like 3 feet of someone. this is of course an incredibly funny nature to employ for sibling-scaring purposes and trickery.
2) i have known my partner since we were 6 years old, longer than I've known my own sibling. she has seen the absolute worst of me and the best. she has helped me survive innumerable times. and though we have our problems, i am so lucky and glad to have her in my life. she is the only person who can make me laugh with little effort. being in her company makes me feel at home no matter where we are or what we're doing.
3) i have managed to gain around 20lbs give or take within approximately 3 months (though i suspect i am losing some of the weight unfortunately due to stress and the other factors that make it difficult for me to eat properly... I'm hoping I'll correct course on that by mid-July and am looking to gain another 5-10 lbs from my starting weight along with the existing 20lbs i may have lost some of. also my new brand of protein powder is total garbage and i will never get it again, I'm going to go back to the one i liked before hopefully even if it's on the pricier side)
2. I planned the murder of a girl who hurt my bestie when I was in 1st grade with said bestie, we even thought about how to get rid of the evidence {cut the corpse up, burn it in the shady ass peice of land near our houses and launch the remains in a homemade firework}
3. I like to make things that remind me of my friends but I'm usually too scared to show it to them ;-;
1.) uh last year i was the global eighth (between fifth and tenth anyway since its hard to judge skill) best player of a game (between 50-60k players at the time)
2.) i accumulate various things that i love inexplicably and they currently include a sloth plushie, a turtle on a necklace, a ring that is plain metal with black flame on the sides (its also like seven or eight years old) a green hoodie/jacket and several other knicknacks
3.) idk im not v interesting but ig i very much like physical affection? or I am actually pretty good at archery?
i never sang in front of people excepting a few family members and my singing teachers until i was... uhh.... 11? 12? whenever i joined choir, and i've been in singing lessons since i was 7
uhhh i used to do equestrian riding, i came 3rd in a competition (within the club but alas..)
uhm what else
i have a partner! they're amazing and i love them so much, shout out to them, AND their beautiful art (check out their insta (koko.anomaly) !!!)
The generic name Cosmos derives either from the Greek κόσμος (cosmos) '(ordered) world' – in reference to the neat, orderly arrangement of the floral structures – or the Greek κόσμημα (kósmima) 'jewel' – in reference to the jewel-like colors of the capitula (composite flowers).
Discovered in Mexico, in mature oak and pine forests, hence the reason this plant is more inclined towards warmer climates. The popularity of chocolate cosmos grew throughout the 20th century, due to its highly captivating, and chocolate-y sweet fragrance. As a result of the two devastating world wars, the chocolate cosmos ceased to exist. However, there was one clone that remained; it was kept alive by horticulturalists at the Kew Gardens in England. The problem with this clone, though, was that it was self-sterile, which meant that it couldn’t fertilize its own flowers and would have needed pollen from other flowers. Neither seeds nor cultivars (variations within a plant species) could be produced with that clone. During the late 1900s, however, New Zealand propagated a self-fertile chocolate cosmos with a distinct DNA. Thereafter, the very first cultivar “Pinot Noir” was publicized by Russel Poulter, followed by others including choca mocha (the most available cultivar), dark secret, eclipse, and spellbound.
The chocolate-y aroma of chocolate cosmos is a result of an organic compound called vanillin. This is the same compound found in cocoa. Their fragrance is most prominent during the warmer days or when it’s receiving direct sunlight (they love hot and dry conditions). Some cosmos flowers, such as pink, yellow, white, and orange ones, have a milder fragrance–or no fragrance at all. The unique colour of chocolate cosmos is determined by the varying amounts of anthocyanins and chalcones present. Anthocyanins are responsible for producing pink, red, purple and blue shades. Red appears in an environment where there is a high pH level (acidic), whereas blue is more pronounced where there is a low pH level (alkaline). Chalcones, on the other hand, produce a yellow colour.
