For uneducated Americans only (because almost everyone else in the world knows this already): "Inshallah" is not a Muslim phrase. Inshallah is an Arabic phrase. Christians that speak Arabic, say inshallah. "Allah" is how you say God in Arabic. "Inshallah" is how you say "God willing" in Arabic.

I’ve volunteered at food pantries and you sometimes get people upset to see someone in a nice car using a food pantry and I need to completely assure you that the person with the nice car actually is in need of that food because people who aren’t in need do not pretend to need food

Also, while I’m here, I’m tired of the commodification of everything “Black girl” but nary a Black girl age-wise is found. Adult women (35+, 40+, 45+) still pursuing girlhood, meanwhile we’re grown. There has to be a better way.

I think everyone on this site, but especially the recent rash of reply-guys, would do well to remember that we're on a niche social media site mostly populated by liberal political obsessives & no one else is paying much attention & nothing much we say here matters at all. Loosen up, have some fun.
