@SaraSoueidan: Dear men, This is how you greet a veiled Muslim woman (a Hijabi). Hand on your chest, not offering to shake hers. đ
so prominent BLM activist deray mckesson just retweeted this which i think is super cool for various reasons :)))
I did not know this. Is it OK for a non Muslim woman to shake hands with a Hijabi? Or do we do the hand on chest thing too?@popcanpoli
hey so i donât wear a hijab and iâm not muslim so i definitely donât have the authority to answer this question (or any other questions iâve been getting abt this) (iâm just a lil canadian politics blog i didnât expect this to blow up lol)Â
BUT here are some tweets by the original tweeter (who wears a hijab) that clarify some things
one:Â
two:
three:Â
This is also good if youâre meeting an Orthodox Jewish person whoâs not the same gender as you! Â Not all Orthodox Jews hold by this restriction, and many consider it a permissible exception to shake hands in a formal greeting context; Iâd guess this is parallel to Ms. Soueidanâs last-quoted tweet above. Â And as that says, the sensible thing is to wait for initiation.
why are non-millennials so personally offended by everything? like if iâm still wearing my jacket indoors, itâs because iâm cold, not because i disrespect your home/your classroom !! if somebody has got your order wrong, itâs because theyâre very busy and simply made a mistake, not because theyâre trying to jeopardise your meal !! if somebodies phone rings during a meeting/lecture, itâs because they accidentally forgot to put it on silent, not because they want to disrupt your speech !! just calm down, sharon, not everything is about you
my personal favorite is when you yawn and theyâre like âam I boring you?â
like bitch iâm running on five hours of sleep and chronic anxietyÂ
its funny how you say non-millennials as if millennials arenât offended bei every little tiny thing that could possibly happen
being offended by wearing a coat inside is very different to being offended by violent racism but sure enjoy your tea
this is really true, most of the poverty is also dark skinned or black. police brutality is active in my country and so is the kidnapping and the slaying of young black children.
Brazil has the largest Black population in the world, 2nd only to Nigeria.
Brazil is mostly black yet you donât see any black representation in their media XDDDDDDDDDDDD
They keep gassing them ugly ass European colonizers.
Iâm so happy that Feanor didnât change his name in Beleriand the same way his brothers did, or itâd probably be something horrible, like âFincurufinâ
FINfincurufin. MORE FINWE than they!
But I suppose âSpirit of Fireâ was too cool to give up. Speaking of which, we donât have mother names for Fingolfin or Finarfin, do we? *ponders* Ideas?
Granted, I may be missing something, but I canât remember any right now.
ArakĂĄno (like Argon) for Fingolfin, Ingoldo (earlier: IngalaurĂ«) for Finarfin, as per The Shibboleth of FĂ«anor, âThe names of FinwĂ«âs descendantsâ (HoME 12).
And yes, that makes âGildor Inglorion of the House of Finarfinâ in FotR very interesting indeed, even though heâs probs just another case of name-recycling.
ETA: Also FĂ«anor probably isnât going to take any name-choosing cues from Fingolfin, who was apparently the first to do this – before the Flight of the Noldor, even, as the Shibboleth speculates that it may have been a major motivation behind FĂ«anorâs decision to burn the ships rather than let his half-brothers come over to Middle-earth.
I mean think about it. They stopped working together after Nightmare Before Christmas. Tim Selfinserton is known for really connecting to his characters; and for Nightmare, Danny insisted on being Jack because he saw so much of himself in him. Considering that Tim kept putting off writing the script (and then ended up not doing it lmao) and for some time the only words on paper were Dannyâs songs, and parts of the film were shot before there even was a script. The fact that Tim wasnât directing and the âscriptâ they were using was Dannyâs (who Tim didnât respect) mustâve been a blow to his ego. Timâs characters are him, he couldnât handle Dannyâs control over Jack who he (Danny) also saw as an extension of himself. You can see that in the film, as Jack isnât the typical Burton protagonist, most notably in the scene where he realizes he was wrong and goes and fixes his mistake instead of whining about how no one gets his art and running away. So they didnât speak for three years because they were doubles of Jack Skellington.
