As a side note: I love your Kinja name and avatar!

The first thing to point out that there is a difference between Islamic laws/traditions vs political ones and often what we in the West think is an Islamic law (and is often referred to as one in the media) is actually a political one. Yes, often in some very strict and conservative Islamic countries it may be…

She was not expected to. Please do a little research. In fact no other no other American first lady has ever covered her head while visiting Saudi Arabia and was not expected to, the only difference is that twitter didn't exist back then. This entire thing is based off some tweets from some conservative extremists…

My 7 year old is Ghostbusters obsessed. He was Dr. Peter Venkman for Halloween this year and my husband and I had to drive to 4 stores to find the damn costume because he would not even entertain the idea of not being Dr. Peter Venkman for halloween (and don't even think about not saying the Dr. part of his name). He…

Men cover their heads too. Please educate yourselves. My husband wears a kufi every day. In fact he wears his kufi more than I wear my hijab because he wears his in the house a lot and I don't. When I'm home my headwrap is off.

The med school friend's name was George Glass for all you non-believers.

I do know what they are!!! My friend lives in Vancouver and he shared them with me.... which of course made my desire to renounce my American citizenship even stronger. Please Canada, take me. I am all yours.

I am the American whom Canada developed it's border control for because I have wanted to be Canadian most of my life. In fact I believe I am and I was left on a doorstep on the wrong side of the border. That being said, this outfit representing Canada has sealed the deal for me. I renounce my American citizenship.…

Articles like this remind me who I am sacrificing first when the zombie hordes arrive.

ha! I guess I should have clarified he's 11.

Here's the thing, if you are a person who is born into a certain ethnic group, there is nothing you can do to not be a part of that group. It's too late, you've already been born. With every ethnicity there are cultural cues that link us together but we aren't just those things.

The target demographic seems a bit limiting:

I should send her a picture of me in my favorite leggings. They are anything but lustful. They have a hole, a bleach stain and glitter glue stuck on them. But they are mine... they are comfy... they are not lustful.

I injured my ankle once and it swelled up really big and it itched so bad from the skin stretching so tight that all I did was scratch it like I had scabies.

I was!!!!! *raises hand and jumps up and down* and I was so fucking happy to be kicked out. However, the reason why I was kicked out of the wedding was even better than getting kicked out by Bridezilla: I got pregnant. Yep. She said that me being pregnant "messed up everything... " because "now all the bridesmaids…

I Have the paragard so no hormones at all. I didn't notice any difference in nursing other than the first month I was more crampy because when I nursed I cramped up a bit then it went away. I would bet the issue with yours was the small amount of hormone in Mirena. That sucks. I can't have any hormones at all or I…

We could double date. Let the hoards chase Chris Pratt while we dine over geeky vs too much swag conversation.

I am so in love with Aziz Ansari. I know Chris Pratt is everyone's Parks n Recs boyfriend but Aziz is mine. All mine. I also don't share.

I love it! I also used to love going to the corner store with a note from my Nana giving me permission to buy her a pack of Virgina Slims. The 70's kicked ass for so many reasons and so does this dress.

I have endometriosis, ovarian cysts, fibroids and I was nursing non-stop and got pregnant with my fourth kid.... I often wonder how many kids I would have had if I had a god damn normal uterus. I mean seriously, four kids with all that mess going on? I guess I could have had my own TLC show. Instead I fell in love…
