I was in a public transport and a random girl fell asleep on my shoulder. She, half asleep, then mumbled if it was okay to sleep on my shoulder. "Of course", I said. But that's one of the kindest and beautiful things happened to me that day. Whenever I remember this incident, it still brings a bright smile to my face. Much love to that girl. People, specifically the college and university students, are so mentally, emotionally, and physically ground by this academic pressure these days. And I can feel this burnout even in my soul.

Anger Management | Simon Ghost Riley x trans!m!reader

Anonymous asked: The second one that I had requested was for simon riley x pakistani!ftm reader (they are husbands) where reader and simon had an argument about something and everyone was getting done with it until someone snaps "Calm it! The pair of you!" as they were heading on a mission but when the task force comes back reader could see how some of them were shot or injured badly and his mind kept replaying Simon's and his fight until he spots simon getting his arm bandaged, with the prompt "Keep your eyes on me, don't look anywhere else"

-🦝

summary: you and Simon get into an argument right before a mission.

tws: swearing, brief mentions and depictions of injury

The Pakistan Air Force had been called in to support task force one four one with their latest mission, which had seemed easy enough and in fact, just about everybody was excited; the air force got along well with the task force, and usually, it was you and Ghost who were the most excited to work together - as husbands, you made a great couple, but as a team, you were formidable. But then, things didn’t go the way that everybody had planned, and although nobody knew what had started it in the first place, you and Ghost would not stop having a go at one another, rowing as if there was no tomorrow - the air force wanted an end to it, but they also knew that so did the task force, but neither of them knew how to make you stop. You and Ghost wouldn’t stop arguing, grumbling and growling at one another like feral dogs fighting over a bone; he had always made it a point, from the very first day that you got together, to never raise his voice at you and to never shout or scream at you unless it was something positive - even when he was more angry than he could describe, Ghost never once raised his voice at you. Never. You returned that favour, knowing that it could possibly be a trigger for him, and never once shouted at him, never raised your voice if you were upset with him - the last time you had ever shouted at him was when he was in the other room, and you were shouting to tell him that tea was ready. That was the only time you ever raised your voice around him, and even though you were royally pissed with him, you still couldn’t bring yourself to do it. You never raised your voices at one another if you were upset, and even now, in the middle of an argument, you still managed to keep your voices quiet.

After all, you had been together long enough that anger management around one another wasn’t even something you had to think about anymore; Ghost had been with you since before you had come out as trans, and after having knowing you so long, and being your husband for over three years now, it wasn’t exactly difficult for him and for you to be able to control your anger around one another well enough to not raise your voices.

But it was taking a toll on the others, and when you were getting in Ghost’s face, chewing him out and snarling at him, you were violently yanked backwards by someone grabbing the collar of your shirt. You met a pair of blue eyes, and shook your head. Price.

“I’m not sure how you lot sort shit in the Pakistan Air Force,” he started, “but you ain’t doing that here.”

“He fuckin’-”

“No, he fucking-”

“Calm it! The pair of you!” Price barked, glaring between you and Ghost. “The entire fuckin’ base doesn’t need to know about your fucking martial problems, got it?”

You huffed, breaking away from him as you brushed your flight jacket off. “Fine.”

Price glared at you and Ghost again, warning you both to keep it to yourselves before he cleared his throat, and gestured for the Lieutenant to follow. “We’ve got shit to do, as have you (y/n) - you’re with me, Simon.”

Ghost nodded, glaring at you for a moment before he followed Price with a huff; you shook your head, huffing as you went over to go see your other pilots. You hardly spoke to any of them, getting a cup of coffee and staring out of the window of the office as you waited for the green light to go and fly; frowning and your brows furrowed, tense in the shoulders and refusing to unclench your jaw. The last time any of the other pilots had seen you like that was when some Americans showed up, and tried to tell you how to do your jobs - they weren’t sure they wanted to let you loose on the battlefield with your temper so close to snapping, but then again, maybe that would go in their favour anyway. A few comments from the pilots about how they were glad that you were on their side were thrown out, and although you usually would have laughed, you couldn’t find it in yourself; you were just so fucking angry with your husband, and although he knew it, it didn’t help that he was angry, too.

At some point during the day, you had fallen asleep whilst sat in the Squadron Leader’s chair, as you had woken up to find your feet on the desk, a blanket chucked over you, and a note written by one of the new pilots - Horstmayer - about how they had decided to go out for dinner, as they didn’t want to wake you up and disturb you, signed by all of the pilots and the Squadron Leader himself. It made you smile as you stretched and yawned, folding up the blanket and leaving it on the chair before you made your way outside; the shouts for medics caught your attention first, and when you saw Price, you immediately ran up to him.

“What the fuck happened?”

“Ambush,” Price huffed, shaking his head. “We’re all alive… a little worse for wear, but alive.”

"Where's Simon?”

“Medics took him that way,” he pointed in the direction.

You didn’t even hang around to talk, running off where he had pointed and quickly looking from left to right, desperately looking for that skull mask as your heart began to race; all that was in your mind were the venomous and vile things you and Ghost had said to one another, the fight on repeat like a bad song and making you wince. You didn’t want to fight anymore, and the further you got, the worse the wounded seemed to be, and your stomach dropped when you saw Ghost. You practically shoved the doctor out of the way, kneeling between Ghost’s legs and holding his hands in yours, hardly able to look away from the bandage around his arm.

“Oh, Si,” you whimpered. “Si, what happened?”

Ghost tugged at your hands, pulling you up so that you were standing as he shook his head. “Don’t worry, just keep your eyes on me, don’t look anywhere else.”

“I’m so sorry I was so angry earlier,” you whispered, voice faltering. “I’m so sorry, Simon, I’m so sorry.”

Ghost shook his head again, gently tugging at your hands to let you know that he wasn’t going to let go, he wasn’t going to go anywhere. “I’m sorry, too… it’s both yours and my fault… we might as well call it even.”

“I’m sorry,” you let go of his hands, wrapping your arms around his neck as you clung onto him, eyes filled with tears as you swallowed thickly. “I’m so, so, so, sorry.”

“It’s alright,” he murmured, bringing his good hand up to gently pat your back. “I got you, mera sanam.”

“I’m so-”

“If the next word out of your mouth is sorry, I’m going to put a teabag in your coffee,” Ghost playfully threatened, and when he heard you laugh quietly, he finally relaxed. “I take it you’re not angry anymore.”

You shook your head, swallowing thickly as you clung onto him a little tighter. “Not anymore, no… are you?”

“No,” Ghost admitted. “No, I’m not angry anymore.”

“Kiss and make up?” You asked, voice murmured by his shoulder.

Nodding, he gently pushed you away, forcing you to look into his eyes for a moment. “Let the doctor fix me, and then we’ll kiss and make up… and I’ll take you out for tea, yeah?”

You nodded, daring to crack a smile. “I love you, Si.”

if you liked this fic, REBLOG IT - you SHOULD reblog it; if you don’t wanna reblog, then you’ll get blocked; reblogging is the BARE MINIMUM.

Aight y'all, let's discuss the whole Genshin Impact Sumeru problem. This isnt about the leaks, it's about managing expectations and deciding for yourself whether or not sumeru (and natlan by the looks of things) will be a deal breaker for y'all playing the game. Long post ahead.

I'm from one of the countries that Sumeru is supposedly inspired by, so personally I had no faith in the devs. For anyone expecting the region to be accurate in any way, I'm sorry but it simply will not and cannot be. Sumeru was doomed from the word go. That isn't to say it's going to be all bad, of course, the team in charge of geography and landscaping clearly did a great job and put a lot of work into it, but the folks at the music and cultural department didn't get the same memo.

Let's start off with intentions. Sumeru was announced to be inspired by the middle east, India, Pakistan, and the regions thereabouts. From the word go that's a red flag that just means "vaguely brown"

Why? Because brown cultures aren't popular. The reason japan and liyue are as detailed as they are, is because the game devs are chinese, and japanese "culture" is popularised via the spread of anime. Of course, it isnt accurate, but all that matters is most people thinking that its accurate. The music in both regions was amazing, in part because japanese and chinese cultures are closely tied and take inspiration from one another in many musical aspects.

Why do you think inazuma is filled with sakura trees and foxes? Why do you think it has a light novel fad? Because all these things constitute the parts of Japan that have been glamorized to the world. The sakura trees bloom once a year but anime makes people (and let's be honest a lot of them are white people) think it's far more common.

What does this have to do with sumeru? Well? Is any brown culture popular in the mainstream? The extent of it that most people see is just those vaguely brown bazaars and deserts that so many action movie chase scenes happen in. You end up correlating brown with turbans and onion domes, but can you honestly say you know what the significance is behind either of them?

Mihoyo is a chinese gacha studio driven by profits. White sells, vaguely brown sells, and so long as they can make it look good on the surface they dont much care for accuracy. In fact, accuracy has been impossible from the word go, too.

The teaser we recieved of sumeru in the teyvat chapter storyline is Cyno. What is the one thing we all know is attributed to cyno? Anubis. Is Anubis brown? Of course not that's Egyptian, thats African culture. But in the eyes of whitewashers, in the eyes of folks whose beauty standards are dependent on fairness of skin, Egyptians are brown or white. This is where I knew for sure they were just trying to polite about saying that Sumeru would be based off of brown folks.

I'm not saying you should stop playing the game entirely, and I'm not saying you shouldn't argue and fight with mihoyo over it, but you DO need to be prepared for this to happen with Natlan. You need to understand, that if you're the kind of person that cares about accurate representation in Sumeru, you also likely aren't the kind of big spender mihoyo gives a shit about.

On a other note, lots of people have been pissed off with the archon design. I'm afraid to say I entirely expected this as well. If you aren't brown yourself, if you arent from a middle eastern or south east asian country, you may not be familiar with the trope of the "Lily in the Desert". It's a popular thing once you look for it.

In a desert, the most beautiful woman or the most important one is always as pale as can be, especially when the desert region isnt the focus of the story. The Lily of the desert is pretty, delicate, fragile, pale. Often times she is smaller than others, and will appear almost like porcelain. Sound familiar?

Mihoyo might give a singular shit about the architecture, if only because the department in charge of building designs has proven themselves to be passionate. But don't get your hopes up.

The only reason we accept this kind of thing with monstadt despite the Germanic roots being barely referenced, is because they filled monstadt with white folks and German-ish names. Does any monstadt music sound specifically Germanic to you? No? Just Vaguely European again? Yeah that's probably what you'll see in Fontaine too. We dont look too hard because they're supposed to be white and so them being milk-toast in the cultural sense makes sense to the white people playing.

I'm not saying any of this to be rude, and I'm well aware that a lot of what I'm saying could be taken the wrong way.

So in closing, you need to decide now whether sumeru is a dealbreaker for you. When deciding, keep in mind that the gameplay, the character designs and music will still be good (though the characters will be pale and the music is also vaguely brown) and the landscaping will remain immaculate. The story will remain good. However, mihoyo will not listen to complaints from non-spenders, and you need to manage your expectations because at the end of the day, this dev studio has never had to think about cultural awareness before and they arent going to start any time soon.

Chinese companies have an incredibly ethnocentric world view, and despite all the good titles and works you see from them there will always be an underlying shade bias and ignorance to other ethnicities that arent part of the mainstream.

I personally will continue to play because this sort of thing was unavoidable. Of course I'm bummed out about it, of course I had a little hope, but having my culture overlooked is nothing new to me. If I boycotted things based off of it, I'd never experience anything.

Your decision on whether or not to keep playing too, is no way a measure of your morality. People want to enjoy things, I get it, and problematic media can sometimes be enjoyable. What's important is to recognize the issues, and keep pushing for improvement while you go along.

Anyway, that's my perspective on the Sumeru issue. I'm sure others feel differently, but I'm not claiming to speak for everyone. If theres any area here that requires clarification, feel free to ask and I'll get back to you when I can.

As an aside, I am not Muslim nor do I have a deep understanding of Islam so I will defer to the Islamic community on the Dori issue.

Aph Mongolia headcanon/analysis:

While he tones it down a lot these days, he still very much can be cunning/manipulative.

There are historical reasons as to why I headcanon this, but I'll give a modern and more relevant explanation, as I feel like me explaining Mongolias strategic genius/political savvyness (if that's even a word) during the 13th century has been done to death.

Upon reading on some Mongolian forums, I saw the word "sergelen" pop up a few times. Both in a good and bad context. For example, I've seen someone say the only way to survive in society is to be exploitative or "sergelen". On another post talking about what Mongolians find attractive in women, they listed intelligence as one of them but also being cunning/"sergelen" counts too.

So I decided to ask them what exactly they mean by "sergelen" because God knows Google translate is light years away from being good at accurately translating Mongolian.

I got a bit of a mixed bag of responses. I'll list them below:

- Quick witted, sometimes used to refer to a positive or energetic person

- Opportunistic person

- Quick witted/smart but arrogant

- Sometimes, you call someone "sergelen" if they are arrogant but they think they are smart

- A direct English translation: Wily. The definition: "skilled at gaining an advantage, especially deceitfully".

Now this interested me. I already headcanoned Mongolia to be quick witted but his more cunning nature to not be prevalent these days, however I can see how being wily/sergelen makes sense for him to still be in the modern era, however it's a lot more subtle. And it has to be.

Let's take a look at the geopolitical climate of Mongolia. It's a landlocked country, sandwiched between the superpowers of China and Russia. However it plays the part of the neutral state well. I've said before that I headcanon Mongolia to be a good diplomat, navigating himself in unsteady political waters isn't an easy feat and for what it's worth, the nation of Mongolia has done a good job for the most part.

After all, playing a juggling act between being friendly with Russia, China and the West is exhausting and there must be deeper levels to this act other than simply just being "friendly" and "diplomatic" for the sake of just maintaining good relations.

Every step made, no matter if its made with a friendly face, has been thoroughly calculated beforehand, with every possible outcome accounted for and weighed up between each other. It's like a very complicated game of chess (considering this, it any wonder why I headcanon him as being good at chess/strategy games? 😭)

Let's look at the Shanghai pact for example. The Shanghai pact is a Eurasian international security and defense organisation, and it includes Russia, China and many of the central Asian nations, India and Pakistan etc. Despite being an observer for many years, and being coaxed by Russia and China to join it, Mongolia has refused to do so, with fears that it would limit its connection to the rest of the world (these fears are not totally unfounded).

Despite this pact having the potential to be a crucial contributer to world peace, the reality says otherwise. The success of this pact heavily depends on the motivations and contributions of each nation, and when there are nations in this pact who are in conflict with each other (like Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan) or are indulging in imperialistic ventures of their own (Russia), being a member of the Shangai pact becomes very complicated.

In addition, Mongolia is fighting hard to reduce being in Chinas orbit, remaining as simply an observer of the Shanghai pact helps with this. Ironic as Russia has been pestering Mongolia to join the Shangai pact to diversify the membership/reduce Chinese influence to make it more representative.

For all of these reasons, Mongolias refusal to join the Shangai pact must have taken a lot of forward thinking, and Mongolia has avoided taking on these problems by not joining.

Furthermore, Mongolias relationship with America is interesting. Mongolia has quite a good relationship with the US, and trying to balance that out between maintaining good relations with Russia and China takes a lot of political nuance. Though mistakes have been made with playing Russia, China and America off of one another (Mongolia got a bit too cozy with the US and participated in joint military exercises with them), it is still an impressive feat.

I watched a great video by Caspian report and one of his quotes really stuck with a lot of viewers, me included, about how they "play the bear (🇷🇺) and dragon (🇨🇳) against each other, and get the eagle (🇺🇸) involved just to mix it up. This video (along with quite a few articles I've read) has helped me with this post.

To this day, Mongolia is still a politically savvy, cunning and calculating individual (I'm using the words cunning and calculating in the most flattering sense possible, I like that about him), however he is those things for different reasons these days. He's always been quick witted/a good strategist, those traits have never left him. It's just that he is well aware of the situation he is in now and is not interested in imperialism, only for the safety and happiness of his own people (he's also not a douchebag teen boy anymore haha).

He hides it well behind the mask of being a good diplomat (which he is) but he does not want Russia or China to know the extent of which he is calculative. He actively wants them to underestimate him.

I think because he himself has these traits, he also finds them attractive in other people too.

From a Let's Read I'm reading;

Sometimes I feel like Lancaster was put in this story just to say to everyone's faces what I'm thinking while I read this. It's not true, of course. He's also there to fix problems and be a badass, but he also spends a lot of time being the lone voice of reason. And he's willing to actually talk to Brian like an adult, on his terms and just say what needs to be said.

And having done the Black Lives Matter thing, I can confirm that this is true. There is a class of person, over represented on the internet, I think, who will interpret any calls for reform, no matter how moderate or reasonable, or statement that systemic problems exist as an attack on the very foundations of civilization.

Class, I want you to see if you can spot the snuck premise here.Just write it down on a scrap of paper or hold it in your head.

Time's up. Pencils down. did you get it? It's okay if you didn't. Arc probably did, he loves this one.

Supporters of any political cause like to do something some people call the Advertiser Fallacy. You paint your side in the best light, and the opposition in the worst.

BLM likes to claim it's "just caring about black lives", without actually bothering to look for evidence of racism beyond "a black person died". It doesn't care about black-on-black crime, doesn't even care about black people hurt - physically or otherwise - in its own riots. This forum poster - who claims he's not anti-cop, honest - says he's stood in the lines at BLM protests.

And notice how he describes BLM; "calls for reform" or just a "statement that systemic problems exist".

Notice how the "specific accusations of racist police brutality" part is conveniently left out. He just goes in based on the assumption that BLM is absolutely right. In reality, it's not only bad at finding racism, it's bad at finding police brutality.

Earlier in the thread, he complains about how cops "band together" in the face of those same "calls" or "statements". As if BLM doesn't make accusations and assumptions against entire police departments, or cops in general. BLM, I gather, thinks a cop should be thrown to the wolves the second an angry mob with a hashtag demands it. I think there's people have even harassed and hacked other cops' and their families, just for being from the same precinct.

Are cops perfect? No, they're human. They screw up. They should be held accountable. Has BLM ever proven a single incident was actually because of racist cops...?

No. Not once.

Not in 2016 when this post was made, and not now, 8 years after it started. It's never been able to fulfill the most basic goal of any activist movement; proving there's a problem to begin with.

In fact, a few months after this post, a terrorist would murder five cops guarding a BLM march. And that wasn't the first terror attack.

That happened in NYC, before BLM was a year old.

If I may Marvel for a moment, there's a moment where the authoritarian villain who's about to purge the world of disruptive elements via intercontinental railgun speaks to a guy from India.

He goes "What if Pakistan was about to march into Mumbai and drag your daughters into a soccer stadium for execution? What if you could stop it, just by pressing a button? Would you do it?" The Indian guy thinks, and goes "not if it was your button."

That's how I feel about BLM. Police brutality and racism are real issues, and BLM is absolutely terrible at addressing them.

Amreekan here :) I don't have a problem with stereotypes or Kim's so-called rudeness, but more that the writer got a lot of the basics incorrect. But that's a v small part of a bigger problem with Kim. From what I can see ek recent trend ban gaya hai that MLs are written better but at the expense of the FLs. I feel even that scene where Kim talks abt her abuse became abt how Dawood reacted so gently with her. I'm glad we are getting a non toxic ml but I'm a Maya fan. Wanna see HER shine.

Agreed, the writer did get the basics wrong. I said it earlier that Yunhi is a story that feels outdated in the current scenario because social media has made information to access so much easier that such blatant ignorance is no one's fault but the writer's own laziness. HOWEVER, if by the 15th week the conversation around the drama continues to be about just that misrepresentation and not everything else that it is doing RIGHT..then that's not the drama's fault. that's on the people who are taking Yunhi as the end-all, be-all representation of foreign based Pakistani characters and actually taking personal offense regarding everything that Kim does instead of how her actions affect the narrative. Kim is NOT the best written character. her actions are very contradictory to what she says. some of her actions lack common sense. I am not denying any of that criticism. but taking THAT as an "insult" towards foreign based Pakistanis instead of just accepting that hey, Kim as a character is just a mess like this IS where I have issues. countless of FLs in our Pakistani dramas are on this similar level of mess. but if their moohphattness or goody-two-shoeness is not meant to be taken as a faithful representation of how women in Pakistan actually are..why not the same courtesy for Kim??? why is SHE always under the microscope?? when in fact her character's exaggerated unfilterness EXISTS for the main purpose of confronting the elephants in the room that the middle class Pakistani society has gotten experts at ignoring. sure, Kim's actions don't always hit the nail perfectly but by goodness the hammer never strays away from the target.

'oh Kim doesn't address her mother-in-law with the appropriate title and still calls her Razia~'

And so??? Razia was the name of her mother's dear friend. if anything, I see Kim calling Razia by her first name as a way of finding a deeper connection with her mother and with Razia, the HUMAN and not the person who is solely called by the relationships she has. would people be alright with Kim calling Razia as "aunty" or "ami" and she continues to treat her like a punching bag that is only deserving of comfort in the confines of a room?? the way Razia gets treated by Basharat? unpraised, unloved, unappreciated in front of everyone but ohhoo what's wrong with that? She gets called with the appropriate titles of respect! Bass yehi toh chaiye hota hai life mein!!

khair. i'll always have more to say.

From what I can see ek recent trend ban gaya hai that MLs are written better but at the expense of the FLs.

OMG YES YES YESSSS!! THISSSS!!!! that's so true!!!! it's getting so obvious in Pakistani dramas now. Yunhi doesn't do it as blatantly as others but yesss..it does that too! i am seeing praise being showered on Dawood/BA for the abuse scene instead of pointing out that scene's significance wrt Kim's character and how it explains WHY Kim behaves in certain ways. which is so unfair cuz the scene was a very pivotal moment that shed light on BOTH these characters and their dynamics. but i guess the audience nowadays is in their 'dreamy hero chaiye' era so instead of them applying any critical analysis of the FL's character, they just put up with her while they fantasize about the ML and the fantasies they can build with her. times are changing..the men on and off screen are getting more hype than the women when a few years ago it was the opposite. let's see how long this trend will last. although i am sure the balance will never be achieved here. the scales will always tip in favor of one side at the expense of the other's.

#yunhi #pakistani drama #type: opinion #oh god this reminds of all the pre-premiere promotions they did for Yunhi #and now Maya emphasized SO much on how progressive Dawood as a HUSBAND is #lagta hai that's what the narrative is gonna be for the next half #Dawood 'fixing' Kim #sounds horrible on paper but so far the show has kept the power dynamics between them on the same level #so i wont be making any hasty judgements just yet #HOWEVER #i'll be looking even more closely now

Pink Himalayan Salt

Pink Himalayan salt is a mineral-rich rock salt that is mined in the Punjab region of Pakistan. It is pink in color due to trace minerals and is commonly used as a food additive. Besides cooking, it is also used in spa treatments and as decorative lamps. Below are some common uses of pink Himalayan salt. Mineral content There are many types of salt available worldwide, but pink Himalayan salt has gained popularity in recent years due to increased media attention. This type of salt is marketed as being beneficial to health and nutritionally superior to ordinary table salt. However, there are very few studies to back up these claims. Several people claim that pink Himalayan salt can improve the condition of their skin and relieve sore muscles. Moreover, it is often used in salt lamps to purify air. These lamps contain large blocks of the salt and an inner light source that warms the salt. Some people also visit salt caves, which are natural or man-made, to treat respiratory or skin ailments. While this type of salt has a wide range of benefits, research supporting its non-dietary uses is still sparse. Pink Himalayan salt contains a number of trace minerals that help in different body processes. Magnesium, for example, is a vital nutrient for the heart, while Boron helps regulate the calcium metabolism in the body. Phosphorus, on the other hand, boosts the utilization of B complex vitamins. It also plays a vital role in the formation of DNA and RNA and in communication between body cells. Health benefits Pink Himalayan salt is a natural source of minerals and trace elements. Compared to table salt, which is highly refined and has more additives and artificial ingredients, Himalayan salt is unrefined and contains no harmful ingredients. It is also a great food additive, making it an excellent choice for cooking. Himalayan salt has a high heat retention capacity, making it suitable for cooking. Its ionic salt and trace elements help strengthen the human body. To use it, simply fill up a glass jar with water and sprinkle a quarter teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt in it. The jar should be covered with a plastic lid. You should also keep it away from heat. Pink Himalayan salt may also be used as a foot soak. Its magnesium content may help revitalize dry skin, which may be especially helpful during winter. It also balances pH levels, aids in digestion, and purifies the air. Some people find pink Himalayan salt beneficial for reducing respiratory problems. Exfoliating texture Pink Himalayan salt is beneficial for skin health, and it is an excellent exfoliant. Dead skin cells accumulate over time and can cause skin to look dull, rough, dry, or flaky. Exfoliation helps remove these cells, leaving your skin looking bright and radiant. Exfoliation can be an enjoyable experience, if done regularly. Pink Himalayan salt is a natural exfoliant with a hygroscopic nature, allowing it to absorb moisture and promote skin toner. Himalayan Salt has a detoxifying effect, and contains 84 different minerals and trace elements. Its high mineral content helps draw toxins from the skin and promotes the removal of bacteria. A salt body scrub can also include a little essential oil for a lovely scent. You can either choose a soothing blend or make your own. For sensitive skin, opt for a gentle blend. Other essential oil blends can be used on all skin types. Common uses While pink Himalayan salt may look and taste different, it is very similar to table salt. It is also very different in its composition. Table salt consists of sodium with added iodine and an anti-clumping agent called yellow prussiate of soda. It is also bleached, and may contain aluminum derivatives. Gargling with salt water is a common practice that helps prevent throat infections. To gargle, simply mix half a teaspoon with a cup of warm water. Pink salt can also be used in the form of a salt lamp, in which the pink tone creates a soothing ambiance. Many people find that using the salt lamp helps them relax and unwind. Other common uses of pink Himalayan salt include using it as a preservative in food and drinks and as an alternative treatment for respiratory and skin conditions. Pink Himalayan salt can also be used as a cooking surface. Large blocks of the salt are ideal for grilling or searing, and can impart a salty flavor to foods. You can purchase coarse or finely ground varieties of pink Himalayan salt. Coarse salt has bigger crystals and is easier to measure, but finely ground salt has more salt per volume.

if you speak for gay rights, you're automatically gay. just like everyone who speaks for animal rights is a duck and all those against deforestation are secretly trees hiding in a trenchcoat

guide to writing a desi james potter (and even for harry)!

(desi is used for south asians. meaning india + pakistan, afghanistan, bangladesh, bhutan, maldives, nepal, sri lanka. now i’m indian so i can only speak about that but a lot of the tips are the same. please research! and be respectful while writing them! i’ll try to include as much as i can here)

i've lived here my entire life so trust me.

and this is gonna be long. under the cut!

1. james potter can remain james potter

we don’t usually anglicize our names. don’t go finding obscure names starting with j that you can anglicize to james.

it kind of perpetuates the stereotype of indian names being very hard to pronounce. and britain fucked us over so no way in hell we'll be changing our own name to something easier for white people to pronounce.

instead you can make potters indian christians. i have a lecturer named veronica so i can assure you people in india have all kinds of names.

its a suggestion of course. but i have read fics where james has very traditional and religious names. no problem with that but its a little out of the loop and old fashioned. but if you want some help with finding names then don’t hesitate to ask.

2. where is he from

okay so now this gets interesting. there are a 28 states and 8 union territories. james potter can be from anywhere and not just gujrat and punjab and tamil nadu.

where’s my james potter from the gorgeous seaside state of goa? from the busy heart of metropolitan mumbai? from the amazing states of northeast? from bengal? from madhya pradesh? from kerela? from-

okay this is not a geography lesson but you get my point! there are so. many. places. he can be from any of them.

3. religion

india has a big population of hindus, muslims, christians, sikhs, zoraostrians, buddhists, jains etc. agnostic and atheist people exist too (hi).

your indian character can be any of those, not just hindu. it affects the indian sounding name you choose for him.

example: goan christian james can be james maharashtrian hindu james can be jai

but being religious or not, it doesn’t stop us from enjoying all the amazing festivals. you don’t know what i’d do to read a jegulus diwali fic ashdjfksdj

4. looks

now i know everyone’s like obsessed with atj (i can’t see him as james at ALL) or for desi james, dev patel (god, he’s the only desi character in all hollywood movies im so sick of his face. i have much better fancasts).

but just like names, our looks are also different. pale, wheatish, dusky complexion. again depending on which state. we usually have dark eyes and hair. and light eyes like blue, green or hazel are pretty rare.

5. food

curry doesn’t exist. repeat after me. curry doesn’t exist.

naan bread isn’t real, naan is A BREAD. and even though butter chicken is tasty asf, we don't eat this on a daily basis, my dudes. (#justiceforpavbhaji). but we do eat a LOT of biryani (its apparently the most ordered meal in india lol)

and i know you want to make the "im very white for spices" jokes but where are my desserts????? rasmalai? gulab jamun? rabdi? so cloyingly sweet ashdj

and we call tea, chai and it can be sweet and spicy.

it would make me so happy seeing names of my favorite food sprinkled through out your fic even if you don't elaborate on his indian heritage much <;3

i can’t list off every single one of them here but my dms are always open if you need any help with them

6. not all of us

it makes me sad reading about fics where james doesn’t like his indian heritage. not all poc characters need an "accepting my culture" arc.

Nas - "Rule (feat. Amerie)" - Stillmatic (2001)

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, Nas, uh, yo, yo Life, they wonder, can they take me under? Nah, never that, nah, yo, yo

I come from the housing tenement buildings Unlimited killings, menaces marked for death Better known as the projects where junkies and rock heads dwell Though I owe to it my success

With survival of the fittest, everyday is a chal' I would think I'm a part of U.S.A. and be proud Confronted with racism, started to feel foreign Like, the darker you are the realer your problems

I reached for the stars but I just kept slipping On this life mission, never know what's next Ancient kings from Egypt, up to Julius Cezar Had a piece of the globe, every continent

Yo, there's Asia, Africa, Europe, France, Japan Pakistan, America, Afghanstan Yo, there's Protestants, Jews, Blacks, Arabics Call a truce, world peace, stop acting like savages

No war, we should take time and think The bombs and tanks makes mankind extinct But since the beginning of time it's been men with arms fighting Lost lives in the Towers and Pentagon, why then?

Must it go on, we must stop the killing Tell me why we die, we all God's children

World is hating, that's forever (uh, c'mon) It's time that we stand together (yeah, for the world) Everybody wants to rule the world (what, what, what, what, what, c'mon) World (peace), world (peace), world (peace), world

Yo, there's brothers on the block, posted up like they own it That's they corner, from New York to California Got blocks locked down Like, "dog you safe whenever you with me, see this is my town"

So the youngsters, grows in ghettos, goes to prison At an early age, already know it's against him So in order for him to survive, one day he must Open up his eyes to the set backs and rise

'Cause, everybody wants a shot, in this land of opportunity Look at what this country's got There shouldn't be nobody homeless How can the president fix other problems when he ain't fixed home yet

The earth wasn't made for one man to rule alone To all colors increases, to home it belongs I want land, mansions, banks and gold The diamonds in Africa, oil in my control

The world's natural resources, all it's residuals But then comes foes, I have to guard it with missiles And I become the most wanted But is it worth hearing a million people problems and followed by Secret Service

I guess, attempts at my life with loaded barrels So move over Colin Powell or just throw in the towel, yo

World is hating, that's forever (uh, c'mon) It's time that we stand together (yeah, for the world) Everybody wants to rule the world (what, what, what, what, what, c'mon)

World (peace), world (peace), world (peace), world

Y'all know that's my style, to hit you at the right time No other compares to what Nas write down Tell you my dreams, show you my pain is yours You could get what you love, be a chain in cause

You alive right now There's so many that's dead or locked up inside the beast, I'm a hot light now It's whatever man think of manifest to the real The plan is to wake up 'cause time reveals

All this hate can't forever last All my ghetto heroes in Heaven, it's like you right here and never passed You just transcend, I know I'm goin' see you again Hoping I reach the world leaders and win

Ain't nothing without struggle, listen up, it's critical We used to fear arms, now the weapons are chemical In Hip-Hop, the weapons are lyrical To be the best you challenge the best, then the blessings are spiritual

Top of the world for the kid and unless Popping any rapper's head off his shoulders no contest I know the Most High hear me, so fly you can't near me

You scared of a mirror, my theory is that - knowledge is power To every projects and every street corner, we gotta get ours now

World is hating, that's forever (uh, c'mon) It's time that we stand together (yeah, for the world) Everybody wants to rule the world (what, what, what, what, what, c'mon) World

Yo, niggas ain't forget shit, know what I'm saying? Niggas ain't forget nothing Men, women and children killed by the police and shit Niggas ain't gon' forget that, you know what I mean? Yo, what this war just show me is like, whatever you want out of life

Whatever you feel is rightfully yours, go out and take it Even if that means blood and death You know, that's what I was raised up on, that's what this country's about This is what my country is, and my country's a motherfucker

Speaking of bullies— some recent information has come to light about a recent situation. And the truth is, a lot of this fandom got swept into the gossip trap when that call out journal was made and believed everything this person said about me.

The person that made that call out post is an abuser and serial harasser.

The blacklist that they’ve been keeping is a laundry list of lies that he’s spinning on everyone in this fandom. I’m not the only one being targeted by this person. Some well known fandom olds were targeted by his blacklist for minor things like incest. Claiming that incest shipping ruined his view on the fandom.

I learned that he repeatedly attacked an innocent person to the point that they had nightmares. That isn’t someone you want to be believing their word.

As a result, the bullying is spreading. I’m learning that artists are being targeted by other people who drank his kool-aid. That claims of racism because people aren’t drawing animals as native Africans are on the rise.

It is not, nor ever was a racist issue.

Lions have been called the king of the jungle dating back to the Roman empire, where lions spread out past Africa and into the south eurasian territories like Syria and Pakistan. Disney depicted King Richard the Lionheart as a lion. A “white colonizer” as twitter police would call him. Lions are a symbol of royalty.

The reason I am saying this, is because this is a serious problem. This isn’t defending people of color. This isn’t supporting BLM. This is straight up bullying content creators over skin color on fictional characters. There’s a time and place for rep, and bullying people to the point that they’re losing motivation in drawing what they love isn’t it.

I realize that by stating this, a lot of people will be fueled by this. And, hey. It’s fine to hate me. I don’t care. But I’ve already apologized for my past behavior.

That wasn’t enough for this person, though. They wanted me gone because I claimed a controversial label. They saw that as an invite to attack me. They ignored my apology and persisted to attack me. He didn’t want an apology. He wanted me gone.

And as a result, he’s labeled me as bad as his ‘abuser.’ And while I don’t want to doubt anyone’s claims of abuse, I found out that this one case isn’t true. In fact, his ‘abuser’ is a victim he’s attacked and hate stalked in the past. I got in contact with their victim and learned the truth. That this person gaslights and projects onto his targets.

I know from experience that it can be easy to get swept up in gossip. But we need to stop bullying each other over things like this. Letting twitter police take over is going to ruin the fun of fandom for everyone.

not gonna lie, as australians me and my mum were having a laugh today about the shock everyone in the UK is about to go through lol, it’s even reached our news, drinks lots of water and stay out of the sun!! also putting a water bowl out front of your house for any animals needing water is a good idea

We are definitely going to make sure our pets are kept cool, however we can!

I know I've been making jokes of it, though, but people are going to die from this. We don't have AC in our houses, our houses are made of brick with thick insulation in the walls and roof with double glazed windows. I know in Australia you guys have the opposite problem, with your houses not built to cope with cold weather! But at the end of the day, there are going to be elderly people who die, children who die, pets who die...people who die by swimming in areas they shouldn't to try and combat it.

I make light of it because I have no way to escape it, but I am genuinely concerned. My bedroom, in particular, has the boiler cupboard in it (for the hot water), is above the kitchen and next to the bathroom. It gets too hot sometimes in WINTER.

There are people on social media from countries like India, Pakistan, Australia, Jamaica, Nigeria and the Southern States in the USA all saying that they've never experienced heat like it. People from Malaysia and Nigeria are getting heat stroke!

I hope this can educate everyone who doesnt live here a bit, our choices are basically get heat stroke inside or get heat stroke and sun burn outside 😔

It was a long cold bad weather night....I was not suspecting that.....

He told me he would have shared his benefits but if the wrong people see this.....

So i told him root beer and ice cream and pastries first thing in the morning on a 54 degree day....even if I had normal housing is much too cold for me.....

I would have a hyper diabetic episode and the wrong people would get called....my blood pressure drops in unhealthy ways I was white and I get to be salty meaty and full figured....so you often have to live through people stealing my benefits as male forward and its always more been womens studies

Foriegn Muslims like pakistans are very shocking that way about fair observance they know we don't practice progressive gender theories and so it's kill people of too much of the same stimulus instead of counter acting it....

Most men do require more veganism here....and vegetarian calorie intake to support their weight

I started looking like a very passive opiate kill so it's finally feed her so she kills it off us ...

There are helicopter drones over head and I am not dutifully unfeeling and an English mob that doesn't cry mercy it's just a spectacle to teach the students

Its pack I....gas lighting throw a pack on her paki.....

If it's Muslims like pakistanis to Christians at times here they should have been more giving and forgiving they get even more greedy if its times they should have put people inside at leisure they kept dumping everyone out even more ...

Compass is not a good program if you won't pay a domestic abuse victims settlement for her abusive husband then you can have strange science people instead of your own habits....they want extraordinary rates to learn Muslim observance

I don't think killing me of deprivations is a malcolm x problem....some black cults like go ye.....do have too much food property of people in general and confessions of insanity till its you need to spend your study abroad then and maybe not come back.....

I get called baby so that is why marketing gets kind of fake im who wants to see what people do at Starbucks and it's the whitey na also blue eyed bald and dishevelled that steal my benefits and the wrong people see them do this and off they go to get jumped

He is a poor man with a cigarette habit and it was my day for warm pork sandwich....and off it walked with hoodie man who followed a dangerous looking young man...

Its whitey their na.....it wanted to stalk and hurt me and now had To go live the masochism it can't escape by trying to traffick me instead....

Paki Spies

The recent case of Satendra Siwal, an Indian security agent turned by an attractive spy from the ISI, the Pakistani intelligence service, highlights the espionage tactics used by Pakistan to obtain information. The method, known since the early days of espionage, is now massively employed by the Pakistanis and poses serious problems for India's national security. Since independence, India and Pakistan have spied on each other. In this game, there's only one rule: don't get caught.

Satendra Siwal, a 28-year-old Indian working as a security officer at the Indian mission in Moscow, was seduced by a female agent from Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI). The case came to light when Siwal was arrested for passing strategic information to Pakistan, endangering India's national security. He is accused of accepting money from a female ISI agent who seduced him into betraying his country. Generally speaking, security personnel for Indian missions abroad are drawn from the ranks of the Indian police, whether officers or non-commissioned officers. These men are selected to serve on Indian missions abroad to ensure the security of the mission. The duration of their assignment is generally three years, at least two of which are spent abroad. In 2021, Satyendra Siwal was sent to Moscow as a security assistant. It's not clear when he was approached by the ISI. But he was spotted by Indian counter-intelligence, who found that he was passing on sensitive information concerning the movements and development of Indian troops to his sweetheart. Siwal is not the first to have been approached by a Pakistani beauty. Since independence, the two countries have been engaged in a secret war, in which sex and money are often the preferred recruitment tools used by both sides to obtain sensitive information.

The evolving threat

Pakistan's intelligence agency targets not only the military, but anyone who can provide sensitive information. Nitin Yadav, for example, arrested in April 2022, was supplying fruit and vegetables to a barracks. He sent photos of the military camp and the photo of his fruit and vegetable orders placed by the barracks. This information helped Pakistani agents to estimate the size and strength of the Indian military camp. Once limited to Indian territory, Pakistani espionage operations now also extend to Indian missions worldwide. Pakistani agents target vulnerabilities, whether money or sex, to recruit Indian informers. Siwal, originally from Uttar Pradesh, had been assigned to Moscow by the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Her arrest revealed details of the new way in which the ISI approaches its targets: on social networks. The agent makes contact, leaves a phone message, calls back daily, sends photos and videos full of promise. The targeted man falls for the seduction, and some think they've found a fiancée. In Siwal's case, the beauty had even introduced him to her sister in a video exchange. Siwal was discreetly placed under electronic surveillance by Indian counter-intelligence agents, then interrogated by Indian officials. He is accused of committing an act of war against the nation, as well as violating the Official Secrets Act. Investigators recovered two cell phones from his possession, and examined his bank account to assess the amount of money he had received from Pakistan. Between promises of money and intimate relationships, Islamabad's beautiful spies are getting good results.

Seduction attempts on an industrial scale

Siwal's case is far from isolated. Pakistan is stepping up its psychological operations. Last year alone, at least three cases came to light. One of them involved an official from the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO). The DRDO carries out research and development for the Indian Army. This official, who has been imprisoned, is accused of passing information to Pakistani agents. The ISI is actively trying to frame Indian officials, and Pakistan has some experience in such operations. Pradeep Kumar had also met Riya on social networks a year and a half earlier. Pradeep was an artilleryman in the Indian army stationed in Jodhpur. Riya introduced himself as a lieutenant-colonel in a military hospital in Bengaluru. They talked for hours, often on video. In May, Pradeep Kumar's world came crashing down. The 24-year-old was arrested for helping a Pakistani spy. His love, Riya, was not an Indian army officer, but a spy in the service of Pakistan. In 2017, India recalled three diplomats. They were working at the Indian High Commission in Islamabad. According to Indian Security communiqués, they had been targeted by Pakistani agents trying to seduce them, but the attempt had failed. Another Indian diplomat was arrested. She also worked for the Indian High Commission in the press division. She was accused of passing classified documents to an attractive ISI correspondent. In all, 28 people have been arrested for espionage in Rajasthan since 2019, including 24-year-old Shantimoy Rana, who had planned to marry at the end of September. He is also behind bars. "Ankita", the agent who seduced him in August 2021, also claimed to work in the Indian army. Shantimoy didn't know she was a Pakistani agent; the beautiful Pakistani had even sent him $5,000 as a pre-wedding gift.

Attacks at every level.

It's not just ordinary soldiers who are affected. The notorious Shashi Tharoor, Minister of Human Resources Development and renowned writer, was seduced by a Pakistani journalist, Mehr Tarar. Tharoor's third wife, Sunanda Pushkar, having discovered the affair and the exchange of information, publicly denounced her before taking her own life. Tharoor had had a brilliant career. A former UN Under-Secretary-General, the 57-year-old diplomat had written several books for which he had received a dozen literary awards. These included novels, as well as political science works on modern India. During his 29-year career with the United Nations, he worked on a number of complex issues, first with the UNHCR, the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees. Then, from 1991 to 1996, he headed the UN team responsible for peacekeeping operations in the former Yugoslavia. In 2006, India even nominated him to succeed Kofi Annan as UN Secretary-General… Of course, Indians living in border areas continue to be particularly targeted. "We are working hard to raise awareness, especially in the border areas. Not only we, but the army and paramilitary forces at their level, are trying to raise awareness among soldiers and the public," said Indian military authorities. The use of social media platforms is now prohibited in the Indian army. https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B07BR6V6D9
