I’ve seen a lot of people saying, “why does it matter if he’s white?” It MATTERS that he is white. It MATTERS that he is a white supremacist. It MATTERS that he is a Donald Trump supporter. It MATTERS because he drove miles from his home in Dallas to go to a border city who’s population is predominantly Hispanic, in an area where many Mexicans from the South of the border also come to shop, during a tax exempt weekend when more people than usual went shopping . His crime was premeditated and was based on his racist, xenophobic views and it was done under a president who makes people like him think that, that is completely normal and fine. So yes, it fucking matters that he is white.
Simone Veil, the woman who fought for and managed to legalize abortion in France, died this morning shortly before her 90th birthday. She was Jewish and an Auschwitz survivor (she lost her parents and brother there), as well as definitely pro-European Union. She was a wonderful woman who went through so much and gave French women so much more. She had so many insults hurled at her when she was fighting for abortion but she never backed down. She was an inspiration to me and my first step into feminism. I will miss her forever.
When is freeform releasing any more cloak and dagger footage? I did my waiting, 2018 seems really far away
one thing I love about skam is how small and seemingly insignificant moments come to mean so much as the story progresses. in yesterday’s clip (Fy Faen) a lot of us noticed sana tuning out the sound of the crowd and the music from the party as she was preparing to do her salah. at the time of the clips release, it kinda displays how, in moments of prayer, there is only you and allah. and that was a really important image to show non-muslim viewers because it connects us to one another. but after watching it again the next day, when the next clip dropped (I Feel It Coming), it gains a new purpose. on Saturday morning, as she’s doing her prayer, the sound of sana’s phone rings louder than the prayer in her head. she has to do the salaam and break her salah because she can’t focus. then the music starts and she tries, she really tries to continue her reading but she can’t tune it out so she breaks it again. where the night before she was easily able to turn off everything around her, even when she was in the room of a complete stranger, it shows that something has to really be wrong for sana to not be able to focus on herself and allah. I think the ease with which she was able to begin her prayer the night before really highlights how much she’s hurting when you compare it to how distracted she is the next day, and I really am just amazed by Julie’s ability to show her character’s internal struggles manifest themselves in unspoken ways. because sana doesn’t say she’s hurting, but we see how off she is and we’re able to know just by watching her behavior.
That is what i'm asking myself everytime !!!!!
How the heck are idols able to survive having only 2-3 hours of sleep on a regular basis plus having hectic schedules, constant travel and excessive pressure to overwork themselves? Not only that, they also have to pretend that everything’s perfect and put on a happy face 24/7 just to make their fans and company happy. How????
