I do, yes, while my sister doesn’t. We’ve both faced different types of harassment. Usually, she gets scolded by random people if she speaks Arabic on the phone telling her to leave the country. I’ve had a woman spit on me, guys verbally harassing me, etc. but all things that I could manage. But what I’ve found I…

Yes. Thanks everyone for the advice, but I’m genuinely terrified of guns or weapons of any kind. I’d be useless with one.

Thank-you. I can’t express to you how much I appreciate it.

and I apologize if I came across as dismissive of other people’s experiences. That was not my attention.

Thank-you so much.

I can’t tell you how much that means to me. Thank-you.

My sister (who is smarter than me) told me, “only one dude signed the Muslim ban, but it was hundreds who protested.” There’s so much good in this country.

Thank-you. You too. <3

Thank-you so much, and you don’t have to apologize. My dad always fusses over us. The fact that so many Americans have united in condemnation over this event shows just how amazing this country is.

I found out about this from my dad. After having dinner with him, he sent me and my sister a text saying he loves us and not to go anywhere alone for the next few days.

Please do. She had such a beautiful smile and looked so full of life. How could you not want to be best friends with her?

In Virginia as well, a 17 year old Muslim girl was kidnapped and beaten to death (presumably by a baseball bat):

I can’t believe the person who thinks Santa is white was so expertly outmaneuvered by a man who thinks the world is run by fluoride-producing swamp lizards.

It’s a fool’s hope, but I wish the next President abolishes ICE altogether. Just because the President unleashes your shackles doesn’t mean you lose basic decency.

That’s awesome.

Have any plans for Father’s Day? My sister & I are taking my dad out to dinner. We pooled our money together to get him a Surface book and a tweed jacket for when he starts “professoring”.

It’s the type of love that can only be expressed by Gawker alums.

This is one of those things that you always knew to be true but still shocks you when it happens:

I’m kind of shocked at how Theresa May has botched her response to this tragedy. Not meeting the residents of Grenfell tower while your biggest political rival spends the day listening to their concerns in front of cameras?

The first 15 minutes were quite lovely.
