(some) moroccans stop romanticising Al-Andalus and being modern-day colonialism apologists challenge

and I want that CHELSEA DODGERS account on twitter out of my existence in the sense I want ziyech out chelsea so that I don't have to read their ridiculous tweets again bc another year like this? no. this fucking account with a white american rich ass republican on their pfp complaining about a player being pictured with a 'drug dealer' cry more about it while your boss (so your club) finances every republican campaign ever and not even the previous boss financing 100 million to israeli settlers in palestine has stopped you from questioning your morals. but you draw the line at one player being pictured with a friend accused of drug trafficking. i'm sure this is absolutely not racially motivated also.

Sunday lunch, or - since what with one thing and another we ate closer to dinnertime, it might be more of a Sunday dinch. :->

It was Moroccan-style braised lamb shanks, and it was really good; after 24 hours or marination and about three hours of slow cooking, the lamb was literally off-the-bone edge-of-the-fork tender.

Because the spicing was so complex (though NB like most North African dishes, not hot) we went for a simple accompaniment, plain couscous with a few strips of home-made preserved lemon to balance the deep, rich flavours.

I also included a dab of harissa with mine, and a couple of pickled chillis for zing.

Meat and recipe both came from Irish on-line source James Whelan.

I think this would work well in a slow-cooker.

BTW, on-line recipes like this can change with the seasons, so I'm adding it below the cut.

*****

For a more fragrant and pungent dish, the lamb can be covered in clingfilm and marinated in the fridge for up to 24 hours to allow the spices to penetrate the meat. The accompanying couscous can be jazzed up with pistachio nuts and dried fruits.

Ingredients

4 lamb shanks, well trimmed

1 tablesp. paprika

1 teasp. each ground coriander, cumin, cinnamon and turmeric

Sea salt and cracked black pepper

2 tablesp. olive oil

1 large onion, roughly chopped

2 garlic cloves, chopped

2½ cm piece peeled fresh root ginger, chopped

450ml chicken or lamb stock

2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes

1 tablesp. clear honey

Squeeze of lemon juice

Serve with a bowl of couscous

Serves: 4

To Cook

Cooking Time: 2¾ hours

Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 3, 160ºC (325ºF).

Heat a large frying pan.

Mix together the paprika, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric and one teaspoon of pepper in a large bowl.

Add the lamb shanks and using your hands rub in the spices.

Add a little of the olive oil to the heated pan and quickly brown off two of the spiced lamb shanks.

Transfer to a casserole dish with a lid and repeat with the remaining lamb shanks.

Meanwhile, place the onion, garlic and ginger in a food processor or mini-blender and pulse until finely minced.

Add another tablespoon of the olive oil to the pan, then add the onion mixture and sauté for 3-4 minutes until well softened and coloured from the spices left in the bottom of the frying pan.

Pour a little of the stock into the pan, stirring to combine and then tip over the lamb shanks.

Add the remaining stock with the tomatoes and honey, stirring gently until evenly combined.

Cover with the lid and cook for 2-2½ hours until the lamb shanks are meltingly tender and the meat is ready to fall off the bone.

Add a squeeze of lemon juice and season to taste.

Hii

i want to request kakucho x foreign!reader. She takes him with her on trips to her homeland (morocco in this case🤭) and her family embraces him as he’s one of theirs. All of this makes him want to put a ring on that finger even faster..

Thank you for your time and effort btw!

Meeting The Family | Kakucho x Foreign Reader <3

Being from Morocco and living in Japan was quite different than what you had expected. You expected to outcasted and to not have many friends - or even a boyfriend at that. But things turned out in your favor when you met Kakucho, who was as sweet as he could possibly be when it came to you. 

You two had been together for about a year before you decided to take a trip back home to see your family who had been begging to meet Kakucho and learn about your new life. Since you had been attending school, Kakucho was the one who mostly took care of everything when it came to cooking, cleaning, and even running all of the errands after he was done with work. Although you had a part time job as well, he insisted that you focus on your studies first. 

"I'm taking a trip back home to see my family." You said one night while you two were resting on the couch of your now shared apartment since you moved in with him.

"That's great! I'm sure they'll be excited to see you!" He nearly jumped up, thinking this would be the perfect opportunity for you to take a break from work and classes and enjoy yourself. You had been missing your family and he took note of that. 

"...And I want you to come with me!" You exclaimed, pulling out two plane tickets and plopping them in front of him. His face lit up with excitement as he was ecstatic and over the moon to be traveling with you. He had never been out of Japan and was ready to see the world. 

"Really? You want me to meet your family?" He asked, an excited but nervous tone in his voice. 

"Absolutely. They'll love you just as much as I do." You said, leaning in and placing a kiss on his cheek. 

_______________________________________________________________

Two weeks from then, you were both boarding the plane to your homeland. Kakucho was visibly nervous, but you quickly shut it down with reassurance that he would be completely fine. The plane landed and you both were greeted at the airport by your mother, father, and siblings. They all ran up to you, engulfing you in hugs and giving you flowers as a welcome home present. Kakucho stood there nervously, as he didn't know what to say or how to act. 

Your mother walked up to him, "So you're the man who's been taking care of my beautiful, wonderful daughter!" She said, with her arms wide open to give him a huge hug. Kakucho nodded his head and smiled, hugging your mother back as your father then shook his hand, greeting him as men normally do for their daughters. 

Once you arrived at your family's house, your mother started to prepare what seemed like a feast for you all. Kakucho nervously asked if he could help and stated that he loved to cook and would love to learn how to cook traditional Moroccan food so that he could cook it at home for you. 

Your mother smiled, "Of course, dear, I'd love to teach you." 

You stood by in the kitchen, watching your mother and Kakucho bond as the rest of the family gathered around, asking him all sorts of questions about his heritage. They had welcomed him with open arms and his nervousness slowly faded away as he was having an amazing time with your family. 

Later that night, while the rest of the family was outside celebrating and talking about your return, Kakucho stepped to the side with you. 

"I just wanted to tell you how much of an amazing time I'm having and that I'm glad you brought me along to meet your family. They are wonderful people." He said, taking a sip of his water. 

"I'm glad they love you, and I'm glad that you love them." A warm smile played across your face as you took the water bottle from him and began to drink. You couldn't help but to be thirsty. 

Kakucho just stared at you in the moonlight as you and your siblings began to joke around and play. He couldn't help but to think about how much he loved you and how he wanted to have many more trips to Morocco with you. Then, his mind wandered to the thought of marrying you. Of course, he would have to make things special for you once you both got back home, but he was secretly planning on buying the ring as soon as you both got settled and surprising you with it. 

It was then, that Kakucho sat and thought, "I'm going to marry this girl."

Hey Sara! your blog and many other blogs made me realise a lot of my mistakes and things I had been conditioned to follow. I kinda feel skeptical about doing engineering at the moment as it’s a very male dominated field and I don’t like them but I do like engineering. My family on the other hand is not that supportive saying that I am not determined or ambitious. What’s your opinion on that?

Love you lots btw☺️☺️

I'm glad that you connected with the radfem community here, and I'm very happy knowing you came across my account! Engineering, like most STEM fields, is largely male-dominated, but it is changing, and more and more women are shining! ( Here, the rate of women engineering graduates is among the highest worldwide, and if Moroccan women can do it, then so can you and any other woman. We make better engineers than men).

And yes, while engineering is a hard major at uni, and you'd need to be proficient at physics, maths, computers, if you feel like you can do it, if you like the field, if you see yourself having a future as an engineer, then yes, absolutely! Go for it!

Don't let anyone else dictate your life, even if they're your family or if you love them, especially not your academic life! Education is one of the few ways to escape your family/current situation for many women (myself included) and you being a girl does not change nor influences your chance at graduating with honors AT ALL. It's your hard work as a university student that does!

I think it's YOUR choice and yours only, and if you want my personal opinion, you'll make one hell of an engineer sis!! <3

My DNIs: NSFW blogs (am a minor, dude), proshippers, fascists, zionists, racists, sexists, ableists, anti-LGBTQ+ and any other people that discriminate

Howdy there, you lovely individual! I'm Random, though you can also call me Gamer or Rat (or any other nickname, I love nicknames!). I'm 17 years old and Dutch, Moroccan, or a creature of the infinite void depending on the topic

I go by he/him, though I'm also chill with they/them if you prefer that. I don't understand all things lgbtq+ but I'm always happy to learn (I want my blog to be as much of a safe space as possible)

I have ADHD (and likely Anxiety? Though that's more of a self diagnosis until I get tested). I'm the inattentive type, though I do still most definitely have hyperactivity (especially when with friends), thus the whole 'random' thing. It's actually a lot of fun when it's not debilitating

I like watching/rewatching shows (most common rewatches are Legends of Korra, Arcane, and Castlevania), drawing (considering getting into digital art and animation too at some point), writing (aspiring writer lol, though not as a career), talking to/hanging out with friends (my favorite people in the world!), D&D (mostly DM now but I enjoy being a player also), cooking & baking (shall one day be able to make any food), martial arts (do Taekwondo, but looking to get into stuff like BJJ, Boxing or MMA at some point) and many, many other things!

I'm part of the School Bus Graveyard fandom (and I think also that of Nevermore and Homesick? And prolly others? I still don't know how fandoms work but I engage a lot with sbg stuff soo)

Tagging system (when I don't forget):

void answers: answers to your guys' asks (I love asks btw!)

(reminder): reminders for myself, so I can find stuff in the future. Basically just a save post thing except I add tags before it so I know people don't think I'm trying to remind them (why couldn't I have made it just like 'save' :LoganStressed:)

random art / random writing / random baking: Stuff I've made! I should. Maybe actually post baking and writing stuff at some point

ranbles: My random thoughts, rants, or rambles

ooh shiny: My mutuals' stuff I like, or just stuff I really like in general

void funnies: I did a funny

I love/Omg I love: Wasn't originally gonna be a tag but I use them too much. Just when that's my immediate reaction I suppose

...and that's about it, I think? Thanks for reading, and I wish you a delightful day

You're from Belgium? That's awesome

TYSM!! <33

While I am from Belgium I'm half Belgian half Moroccan with ethnicity since my dad was born in Morocco while my mom was born in Belgium, but my nationality is Belgian, tysm for the compliment btw!! <333

[caregiver-twylas-daycare]

lots of things to report

visited two new places in north carolina!

i got some handmade socks, a knitted raccoon that i named after my CG, two moroccan crystals from my favorite rock shop, and some very good coffee

my day gets so good with good coffee and thats coming from a starbucks boy

i also finally started listening to powwow music because a friend told me its good for hyping you up (both ojibwe, btw, we dont do appropriation) and it was so overpowering i forgot how much i love my music

-Eagle 🦦

p.s. found a very cute tattoo design that im going to do!

Oh wow! I'm glad you had a good day, Eagle! I would love to listen to powwow music to learn more about and appreciate your culture! I love Starbucks but usually drink Duncan donut coffee at home. We have a Keurig and use the cups.

[radfemsouthy]

Girl, I love you, keep up the good work. 💐😘 That's all I want to say. I'm Moroccan btw, very glad to meet a fellow African radfem

Aw thank you so much 😊🫶🏾

I love meeting other African radfems too!

So yesterday I went to see Barça because I was in Barcelona and eventually we will play them so...

Entertaining game if you like goals, that Granada (former Barça player) golazo was amazing and what to say about Pajor and CGH's connection.

Nice environment, nice prize, nice seat and visibility, nice everything minus the transportation to come back home which came 30' late. It's in a small city near Barcelona but trains, buses and trams on Saturdays at that time have you waiting for hours.

Only thing to highlight: the refs are so bad. So is the lineswoman. Literally called more than 3 wrong offsides, disallowed a rightful goal, missed 1/2 pens and almost NEVER called a foul against Granada.

Claudia Pina came out crying because they battered her. Alexia, CGH, Pajor received less kicking than her and it was rough to see honestly because apparently she has been taking beating after beating since the league started.

Btw, many people on twitter will love that 10-1 result for their farmer's league theory. IMO France is even worse than them due to the null competition and open market between both top competitors (Chawinga, Karchoui, Mbock...). What people don't see is that yes Barça were dominant but:

1. Granada's GK was the back up one because of injury of the starter

2. Barça had lots of starters there while Granada maybe didn't as much

3. They only got promoted last season

Liga F doesn't invest, RFEF doesn't care about looking for sponsors, camera work pitch installations and refs are shit because of no money, lots of people are close minded (I got called a "dyke bitch" by some drunk men and moroccan teenagers)

Basically that league is alive thanks to Barça's investment which has lead them to winning that small ass money prize that is UWCL, the president doesn't care and neither does RFEF. RM invested and bought Tacón to match Barça and other clubs started from the bottom, one can only wish a miracle happens and competent people are put in important places to FUCKING DO SOMETHING.

The league of the World Champions. The league of the Nations League champions. The league with the most Ballon d'Or. The league with the current UWCL champions. None of this matters to people and it's really fucking sad, next week I'm going to Tottenham-Liverpool (go reds!) and it will probably fill me and fuck me up the difference on caring for something.

Sorry for the rant but I really recommend going to matches on other places or countries to learn more about their culture, woso culture and appreciate what we have while fighting for more.

(P.D. There were people yesterday who had more than 3h in public transportation to get there, people from the UK, France, Poland, Portugal, lots of Norwegians...)

Peace out!

think this might go down as the longest ask I've ever had. Interesting read thanks for the insight

[hecatesl0r3]

Someone sent this to me on pinterest which was crazy as fuck cause, I deactivated my tumblr so that means leave me alone???Lmfaooooo???? (it's lunden btw heyyyyyyyyyy!)

(sorry I'm back once again for clarification, they sent the link to this post, that's how I found out.)

I quit writing for the cod community. I don't like cod anymore, you all sucked the joy out of me and the game (not the people who supported me and some of my stupid little stories, love y'all.). some of you are the most racist, disgusting people that have ever lived, truly. Y'all are sick ass human beings who need help.

Before I deleted my account, people were being so fucking odd over the bimbo!reader situation. When I specifically said don't ask about my parents, no one gaf and asked about my parents lmfao. It got worse tho, I started getting anons calling me a desert n!gger which is crazy asf. Weird ass comments about me being Mexican and Moroccan (got called terrorist so many times, it's actually pretty funny to me ). So I said fuck this fandom and these weird ass people, I'm out!

I don't think I'll return to the cod fandom, ever. It was fun when I first started writing in January, but I got too comfortable and started sharing my opinions hoping people would understand and would feel the same. But I was proved wrong. Idk why I expected so much from people who want military men irl.

So that's that. Please don't try and contact me outside of this, because it freaks me the fuck out and I really, really, really, want nothing to do with writing and this anymore.

ight, bye.

Oh and to those in the comments, srry about ghosting you guys.

My well being matters most to me. And I want to protect the tiny amount of sanity I have left. okay, bye for real this time.

umm where did hecateslore go??? where am i supposed to read biker simon with baddie reader???

[mchiti]

instead of writing my thesis i'm having a fight with WHITE french people under an instagram post. Yarab help me because you can't win with them. The post was basically one french actor from the 50s talking and one french lady commented "he speaks so differently than today". So another user asked what's different, and she replied "old-fashioned, well mannered, nowadays french is tainted by arabic slangs". Of course languages evolve but out of all the explanations karen could have given us she had to complain about arabic influences. lmao. What MADDENS me more than anything is when they bring languages into it like you don't understand I'm not getting this degree for nothing.

So I said to this french karen: sis, change is inevitable. LANGUAGE CHANGE. The whole idea of purity is utter bullshit because languages change all the time, where is the purity coming from? All neo-latin languages like french, italian, spanish, do you know why they were born? BECAUSE LATIN ITSELF CHANGED. The latin they teach you at school when you study Cicero and all that - that's latin from the "golden age" of latin literature. It lasted like, 2 centuries. It was different before and it changed after. And after the fall of the roman empire - just imagine a whole empire falling down - of course latin was bound to change more rapidly: because with the falling of the roman empire you didn't have a stable school system anymore, or stable institutions. + the germans started coming, especially in france. LIKE FRANCE CHANGED ITS OWN NAME it's literally called "land of the franks" who were germans btw. it is the most germanic-influenced language out of the neo-latin languages (which is also the reason it's more distant than italian/spanish/portuguese). French, like Italian and spanish etc, come from a "tainted" latin from the middle ages - irregular, unstable, very distant from the norm, full of errors to the point if you look at latin written documents between the V and the VII centuries they don't even make sense, and that's because orally it was evolving into something else: romance languages.

Like imagine talking about purity for european languages who were born out of a very unstable, poor in lexicon and grammar latin spoken by "commoners". And by the way YOU went to colonise north africa. moroccan darija is considered hard to understand by other arabic speakers because it also has a lot of french influences. We should be the one complaining lmaooo

[beanxiv]

HIII, fellow maghrebia here !!! just wondering what part of morocco are u from??

i'm getting like city vibes from u so i feel like casa or rabat...

[locura-azul]

Let me tell you about this blablacar I'm in right now. I am by far the oldest person in it. The driver is a half Moroccan half Spanish dude in his early 20s and the other passenger is a German guy in his early 20s. Both are lovely people, very chatty and otherwise outgoing with sunny dispositions. What is really getting me is the music that is playing in the background and also that the German guy knows all the words to all the songs that are all in English btw. It's been like mostly pop and hip hop from when I was in high school and like random jersey anthems from Bon Jovi to Bruce Springsteen. He's just dancing in his seat and we are all singing along and it feels very goofy and light and I'm grateful for this experience I'm having with these random strangers.
