The first American woman to go to medical school was admitted as a joke. When Elizabeth Blackwell applied to Geneva Medical School in 1847, the students thought it was a prank- so all 150 of them voted her in. She graduated in 2 years, co-established and taught at a London women’s school, opened an infirmary for the poor, and started her own practice. Source
The story of the broken rib
For as long as I breathe, I want it known that the beloved daughter of the Prophet Muhammad saww died carrying unequivocal anger towards the actions of the individuals who claimed to be his successors in leading the Muslim community after he died. For all the talk of woman empowerment I hear from Muslims today, you find that people are silent on this matter and condone the attempts to silence Fatima Zahra s.a. This isn't just a historic detail up for debate. This is a fundamental turning point in Islamic history.
It doesn’t happen like that. You don’t just wake up one day and find that everything has worked itself out. You must get out of bed, morning after morning, and make a conscious effort to control the circumstances of that given day. You must learn to handle your issues with grace because you respect what they are attempting to teach you. You must drown your insecurities slowly, one self-realization at a time. You must allow yourself to feel the fear bubbling just beneath your skin but you must never allow it the satisfaction of crippling you; grit your teeth and march on. You see, they never tell you how hard these things will be. This fight to reclaim yourself is not easy or straightforward but, my god, is it necessary.
The judicial branch is flexing its biceps and I am so fascinated by this entire process. Really proud of the team in the state of Washington! The students have spoken!
Grief, a type of sadness that most often occurs when you have lost someone you love, is a sneaky thing, because it can disappear for a long time, and then pop back up when you least expect it

The first step when confronted with a stressful situation is to remove yourself physically from the stressor. Doing this will give you time away from the stressor to process how you feel. If you remain in physical proximity to something that causes you stress, you will not have the mental capacity to focus on your thoughts. If the stressor is a person and you do not take a physical time out, you may lash out irrationally at them, whether verbally or physically. I keep emphasizing “physical” because at no point should you distance yourself emotionally. If you are engaged in a conversation and want to continue the conversation once you cool off, consider saying, “I need to take a time out. Can we continue the conversation in 30 minutes?”Once you are away from the stressor, take some deep breaths, sit down, and allow yourself to feel. If you are angry, be angry. If you are sad, feel free to cry. Feel whatever feelings come to you—do not suppress them. Try writing about it, or talking to someone who is farremoved from the situation. Make sure you allow yourself 20 minutes to calm down. This is not just an arbitrary number. It takes the body 20 minutes to get out of “fight or flight” mode.
Mindful Occupation: Rising Up Without Burning Out

Whether by complete accident or skillful intent, I think we are overloaded with news about BAD THINGS CURRENTLY HAPPENING IN THE U.S. And it's sort of paralyzing people into a state of numbing overwhelm. But remember that none of this is acceptable. Speak up in whatever capacity you have. Do your duty
this is how you nip internalized self hatred right in the bud as a parent.
Thanks to the mother’s who gave us our names.
Learn our names!
Our journey is about being more deeply involved in Life and yet less attached to it.

GIVE IT TO THE WIND If the wind touches your cheek in a manner that pleases you, then to it give something back. Give some dollars, a good slice of bread, a phrase from a woman who loves you; open an ampule of joy, and wave it, out loud. If you find a dime, then give two to a beggar, celebrate nerve endings, your soup. If whole minutes exist when to your left is a river with ducks and to your right a cathedral slashed with light, then carry clean bandages to a battlefront, swab foreheads in a contagious ward; if a few cells bloom, a synapse heals then stab a thousand tiny flags into the graves of generals, then mourn a murderer’s childhood. And if, after furious sleep, the room is windy and cool air slides across the blank dunes of your sheet, then thank the night for the day and the day for what it is: liable to be.
Thomas Lux (1946–2017), from Half Promised Land (1986)
I pray that God will bless you in everything that you do. I pray that you will grow intellectually, so that you can understand the problems of the world and where you fit into, in that world picture. And I pray that all of the fear that has ever been in your heart will be taken out.

Q29:69
A lot of us are weary of current times and what best to do. We are fixated on outcomes, not of the struggle and the journey itself. We must be prepared to spend a lifetime working towards Justice.
Keep these brothers and their families in your prayers. Say their names.
عَزيزٌ عَلَيَّ اَنْ اَرَى الْخَلْقَ وَ لا تُرى It breaks my heart (when) I look at all that has been created, but cannot see you,
وَ لا اَسْمَعُ لَكَ حَسيساً وَ لا نَجْوى nor hear a whisper about your whereabouts, nor any secret communication!
عَزيزٌ عَلَيَّ اَنْ ( لا تُحِيطَ بِِيَ دُونكَ ) تُحيطَ بِكَ دُونِيَ الْبَلْوى وَ لا يَنالُكَ مِنّي ضَجيجٌ وَ لا شَكْوى It is disheartening to know that you are attending to and watching over the disorder and confusion, and I, in the thick of violent turmoil, am far away, unable to give report of injustice.
بِنَفْسي اَنْتَ مِنْ مُغَيَّبٍ لَمْ يَخْلُ مِنّا I eagerly long for you who is out of sight, but has not forsaken us.
–Duaa Nudba
“Forgiveness is not always easy. At times, it feels more painful than the wound we suffered, to forgive the one that inflicted it. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.”
