She’s not wearing traditional Bedouin clothing. She’s trying to look like she’s in the Arab Gulf, specifically, Dubai (re: the skyline, the cheetah, the men’s clothing in the video). And the reglious wear I am referring to is hijab and niqab — basically the most recognizable clothing of Muslim women. She’s wearing a…

“Clothes she thought made her look like she had money”

I mean, it’s pretty straightforward. Hijab and niqab.

Dude, seriously? I literally just posted about feeling bad for liking her after all the cultural appropriation and fetishization in the Bodak Yellow video, then I click through to “Pending Posts” and see that this is a pattern of gross behavior. Damn.

I really tried not to like her because of the EGREGIOUS cultural appropriation and fetishization of religious symbols in the Bodak Yellow video — But damn is she charming on Love and Hip Hop, and damn if I don’t get pumped when Finesse comes on. She is definitely a problematic, guilty pleasure for me. Like, as Muslim…

Thanks for the encouragement. Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly!

Thanks, I appreciate it.

I’m in the greys, so this is a waste of time, but I am really tired of trying to get pregnant. It hasn’t even been that long, and I am already so fucking drained. I am furious at myself for thinking this was going to be easy, I am mad of my body for refusing to do what I want it to do, and I am sick of talking to…

Your ramblings certainly made sense to me. It can be so easy to get held back by the narrative we tell ourselves about who we are — even after we’ve grown and changed, it can take years to update our self-perceptions. I’m no professional, but I think this is something you should explore. You’re not punishing your…

Sorry, didn’t realize that was a premium article. I think the issue is less with the initial arrest — which might have been justified — but the fact that she, a teenager, was taken from her bed in the middle of the night, denied access to her parents, kept in custody as her trial was repeatedly delayed, and then ended…

Just like every other Israeli miscarriage of justice, this case has always been about sending a message. Israelis can act with almost unrestrained impunity, and Arabs always had it coming, whatever it was.

Still not good enough.

Her cousin is also a minor. He was shot for participating in a weekly protest, this one held after Trump made his Jerusalem announcement.

I whip up a big batch of ground beef with a couple chopped veggies (onions, green peppers, whatever) on the stove, then freeze it cooked in smaller portions for future meals. I can throw that into a pasta (with a jar of sauce), a curry (which is really just a jar of chickpeas, can of coconut milk, chopped tomatoes and…

You should be safe, we weren’t even included in the travel ban ;)

Another great tagline.

That feeling when you live in the Middle East and your country is in the news, but for something awesome *squee*

That sounds awesome but what I really want to know is... there’s a Crazy Ex-Girlfriend LIVE??

She really did make it big, for a minute there. What a Girl Wants, She’s the Man, Easy A, that show What I Like About You... She was all over the place for a bit. Hope she’s doing better. She’s given me a lot of laughs over the years.

My now-husband said it after a couple of months of dating, but it took me closer to six months. He was pretty bummed when I didn’t immediately say it back, but what I told him then was that I was pretty sure we were feeling the same thing, just calling it by different names. I didn’t want to say “I love you” until I…
