My dad was eating pistachios so I reached my hand out and he just started peeling them and giving them to me. Then suddenly went "I really hope you find someone who loves you a lot" and I went "enough to peel my pistachios for me?" And he laughed and said "yeah exactly" before carrying on giving me more
Enemies to "I accidentally came across you while you were vulnerable and scared and I'm not a total asshole so I tried to help you" to "accidental mutual uncovering of softer sides and vulnerabilities" to "I can't be mean to you anymore, not out of pity but because it would feel weird betraying that brief truce we had" to "Fine I'll make an effort to be nice to you now I guess" to "actually now that we're not actively hating each other you're not so bad I guess" to "i think we're friends but I'm not going to say that because I'm afraid you're not gonna feel the same way" to "oh you also think we're friends? Great" to lovers
not to get political but im begging you guys to stop coming to hawaii. in maui theyre asking to put a ‘pause’ on flights bc we literally do not have enough room or staff to service you. the roads are so full that its causing a major backup when ppl need to get to work.
on top of this, i heard that by September? theyre expecting to get rid of the mask rule (if 70% of ppl are vaccinated/all goes well) but ill be honest w/ you, i know many locals arent getting the vaccine and i know plenty of tourist arent gonna take the necessary precautions.
Allow me to introduce you to one of the best comedy shows I’ve watched, called We Are Lady Parts (2021) which is:
written by Nida Manzoor, a muslim woman of color
follows a Muslim female punk band – called Lady Parts – who are on a mission to find a lead guitarist
features an all female cast of main characters, all of whom are women of color. most of the background characters are also poc
has a queer muslim character
a lot of the characters wear hijab (!!!!!), but it’s also shown that even in the same family women can choose not to wear hijab (thank god for Nida Manzoor)
has a beautiful found family feel to the band
features some hilarious, kickass tracks such as “Voldemort under my headscarf” and some great covers
It’s so witty and charming, and genuinely funny with clever writing and beautiful characters
no stereotypes here! the band is made up of 5 very different women, but each is great in her own way. The main character is a 26 year old PhD student, and has the cutest dynamic with her parents
touches on some very relatable topics for muslim women while maintaining a good sense of humor
their music is actually pretty damn good? like I’d definitely go to one of their gigs and make heart eyes at Saira and the rest of them the entire time?!
the entire season is available for free online on channel4 if you make a free account. so you can easily support it!
currently obsessed with this painting by jan victor, “anna, madre di samuele, prega nel tempi”. typically a female subject is subjected to a male gaze, but here the subject is surveyed by God: this is emphasized by the shaft of light falling on her penitent face and folded hands. you might think hannah is entirely alone in the presence of God. however, there is still a man- eli who “observed her mouth” and thought she was drunk (1 samuel 1:12-13). so she is still being surveyed, though her surveyor is the background, thrown into shadow. unlike secular paintings, however, the male gaze within the painting is not what defines her, as the viewer has the context of the biblical story to know that eli’s assumption is incorrect- hannah is not drunk, she is praying, with the fervour of prayer. thus gaze reverts back to the unseen force and illumination of god, and his present and future blessing on hannah. this blessing both physically and spiritually illuminates hannah, who will receive this blessing in the form of a child, the answer to her prayer, her grief and her desire.
an extremely fun commission i did for @finnisterre as a cover for his podcast !
