At this point in American history, its an act of resistance to wear hijab. Shoutout to all my sisters holding it down and may Allah keep you all safe.

A lot of people ask me what my biggest fear is, or what scares me most. And I know they expect an answer like heights, or closed spaces, or people dressed like animals, but how do I tell them that when I was 17 I took a class called Relationships For Life and I learned that most people fall out of love for the same reasons they fell in it. That their lover’s once endearing stubbornness has now become refusal to compromise and their one track mind is now immaturity and their bad habits that you once adored is now money down the drain. Their spontaneity becomes reckless and irresponsible and their feet up on your dash is no longer sexy, just another distraction in your busy life. Nothing saddens and scares me like the thought that I can become ugly to someone who once thought all the stars were in my eyes.

If a chef is a rookie and undercooks food, giving someone E. Coli, they’re fired and might deal with repercussions. If a valet driver is a rookie and gets into an accident, they’re immediately fired and have to report it to their insurance.

But we’re supposed to feel sympathy for a “rookie cop” like Peter Liang because his grievance resulted in the brutal death of another person? Even after he did nothing to salvage Akai Gurley’s life? Was that a rookie mistake too?

This is exactly why cops walk around with an unhinged god complex. We’re cementing this idea that they can actually, literally murder civilians and all is forgiven (or should be) because they weren’t experienced enough with deadly weapons.
