reblogs appreciated i'm very proud of it :o3
I 🧡 Arabic
i think we should all start using arabic words and phrases more often because its a beautiful language and also theres not really. english equivalents that have the same vibes
theres also the comedy potential of it. you guys dont know the joy of having your muslim friend text you "hopefully the racists in our city will all get sick and cant go to the protest" and you, as a pasty white guy, responding with "inshallah they get covid"
its a one hit KO every time. its fucking hilarious. theres no english word that has the same effect.
he also once texted me that he got over a mysterious illness he came down with (i think? i cant remember the exact context) and i responded with "subhanallah he is cured"
again, one hit KO. he lost his shit.
what im saying is we gotta normalise arabic. its just a language like any other, and it has some great words. its just like saying "thank god" or whatever, but theres so much variety and nuance. its beautiful

I know this is not going to be a popular take online but honestly Kamala Harris is the first politician to ever make me feel even a little sliver of hope in my entire adult life.
I think that a Harris-Walz administration could do wonderful things for women's rights, and I think they could do a better job of bridging pay gaps and providing housing aid to people across the US. She's already proposed to a) build more homes and b) increase affordable housing stock. That's great.
Also, queer rights wise, Walz has already a) banned conversion therapy in MN and b) made trans-affirming healthcare more accessible. This is a stark contrast with Trump's proposal to essentially make being queer publicly illegal, take away trans healthcare, and eliminate queer media stories that we can see ourselves in.
And let's talk about education! Student debt relief, free school lunches for K-12 students, greater accessibility to resources that make teaching all subjects easier.
Medical care will certainly become more accessible. Even if it isn't free, she has said she wants to offer reduced rates on necessary medications. And you know what Trump is going to do? Jack up the prices. Like, cancer treatments and insulin will be unaffordable and tons of sick and disabled people will DIE. Also, abortion! That's health care! Women are going to die under Trump, especially when he wants to TRACK PREGNANCIES!
I'm getting really frustrated by the narrative that Harris specifically is simply "the lesser of two evils" in the same way that Biden was. She has outlined actual actionable steps to improve rights across the US. Both she and Walz have demonstrated that they can and will make things better than they currently are.
"Kamala the cop" is doing nothing when she has literally argued for defunding the police recently.
"But Palestine-" She's already calling for ceasefires, and she's going to be better than Trump no matter what. Also don't throw other minorities under the bus and literally let us die under the Trump administration for a single issue. Queer, disabled people, and people of colour in the US do not deserve to die for a moral stance. It's incredibly important, but not the only important thing.
"But I don't like two party politics-" no one does babydoll, but it's what we've got. We can take action and protest this system in the future, just as we can and should continue to protest for Palestine. But like, we are not dismantling a deeply ingrained system in the next three months, and it's short-sighted and idealistic to pretend we can.
IN CONCLUSION I actually think Harris-Walz can do a LOT of good and I'm sick of pretending that they're just a non-Trump placeholder in the same way that Biden was.
