F**k Farrah Khan the Mayor of Irvine, CA and the entire Irvine City Council. You let the Encampment on University of California, Irvine happ
I don’t know why I can’t reblog like normal- but I just want to mention that incidents like this are why I think it could be valuable for Jews to keep a finger on the pulse of what’s going on in other MENA/South Asian and West Asian communities.
The Armenians clocked Farrah Khan as a shady character a whole while ago, and I bet we could be more influential politically if we worked together when relevant.
In an act of contrition, City of Irvine Mayor Farrah Khan recently donated campaign contributions she received from a prominent Turkish Amer
Settled on the side of Wright Mountain, Oak Hill is little more than a hamlet you may drive through if you accidentally got off the Interstate too early, but for the people who live there, it’s home. For years, rumors of a secret pack of werewolves have been spread around the area, and many locals are sceptic of the Sims that live there. A suspicious string of deaths over the past 15 years only added to the suspicion of the townspeople. However, if you look past the surface, you will find a town that deeply cares about each other and the future of their little community.
It's time for some storytelling!
When I originally created Oak Hill, I wanted to do introduction posts just like I did with Sedona, but life happened. Anyway, I still tried to come back to it and chiselled away at it from time to time. And I've finally finished something. So here we go.
A brief refresher on the families that live in Oak Hill below:
Asia and Erica met in a group home in the city and became fast friends. When Asia decided to move back to her birth town to solve the mystery of her mother’s death, Erica, without real prospects in the city, moved in with her. Will Asia ever get the answers she so desperately seeks for?
The Simms have recently taken in their troubled niece, Kayla, after her widowed father proved unable to care for her. Between two teenagers and Bonnie putting in long hours at the salon, patience is stretching incredibly thin at the Simms residence.
Following the death of their parents, the Khan siblings moved in with their grandmother. Mariam’s got her hands full with the lot of them: Isaac has become a hedonist after the death of his parents, while the twins’ obsession with death has been worrisome, to say the least. And Farrah… Farrah’s talents might put her on a collision course with danger.
When Stephanie helped Cynthia furnish her post-divorce apartment, sparks flew, and Cynthia was able to make the town’s recluse come out of her shell after almost fifteen years. With Cynthia fighting tooth and nail against her ex-husband in the upcoming election, and Stephanie wondering if she is on the right side, the couple is in for a troublesome time.
Frank McCoy has always been an oddity around town, preferring plants over people. Meanwhile, his sons are wreaking havoc around town, with Jack romancing every available woman in town, while Andy’s eccentric inventions are responsible for quite a few hospitalizations. Will Frank be able to regain control over not only his sons but also the monster he created so many years ago? Or will he have to make way for the next generation?
Everyone knows Keith and his faithful dog Pepper around town. So, when Keith lost his job, his house and his daughter following the death of his wife, it was only natural for the McCoys to let him live in their groundskeeper’s cottage. Only time will tell if he’ll be able to get his life back on track though…
Richard Townsend is the big man around town and has big plans for Oak Hill. He’d stop at almost nothing to make his plans come true, but his son’s romantic exploits might put a damper on his chances to win the upcoming election.
the thing that drives me absolutely batshit insane about om shanti om is how om loves shanti without expecting Literally Anything in return. usually stories reward men for their attraction, & the woman is the prize at the end - when om falls in love with shanti, his heart gets broken when he learns she’s pregnant, & he dies to save her as a friend. he dedicates his next life to her memory, making sure she’s remembered as she deserves to be. om loses everything because he loves shanti!! & the only reward he gets is the knowledge that she gets the justice she deserves & she’s able to move on..at the end of the story he’s the same, only changed for having loved her, only happy that she’s happy, only treasuring the time they had together the way she does.....he loves her for free, and love doesn’t change or go away even after death or distance

“Girls, wait a minute before you leave! Farrah, I expect you to be home by two.”
“What?”
“I’m heading into town this morning to replace that dresser Dina and Dalia broke and I’m hoping that they’ll be able to deliver it this afternoon. Isaac’s at work, so you’ll have to help me.”
“Can’t you find someone else? I told you that my homeroom wants to go to Cheesy’s after school!”
“We can go to Cheesy’s on Saturday. I need you home by two.”
