This might be unpopular but hear me out..

Often we think of our goal surrounding culturally significant items to be preservation (keep them in a museum in the perfect environment for preservation, touch them as little as possible, sometimes going even as far as to not expose them to light..) with the idea that it is for “future generations”. It is well known, however, that the Titanic is slowly disintegrating, its shelf life is limited regardless of if we leave it alone, study it or tour it (I want to put it out there that I don’t support touring the wreck but that's beside the point).

I say this because I’ve seen some people mention how upsetting it is that the wreckage was possibly disturbed/damaged by this Oceangate incident but I don’t think you should be. In many ways, any inflicted damage adds to the story and life of the ship (regardless of the cause or people’s opinions on whether it is justified). I understand the moral arguments about it being a gravesite and I agree that it should be left alone, but seeing as this incident has already happened, I think it brings up an interesting conversation about how we treat cultural items as needing to be preserved indefinitely when any damage (especially with a story that is so sensational) ultimately adds to the history of the thing in question.

I appreciate the inclusion of this line and the scene at the beginning bc I feel like it's easy for the audience to forget that unconventional and rebellious saira is also Muslim and does pray, both with the rest of the band and on her own

‘the written word has to go too’ i’m so curious what you mean by this

ayesha khan has this great piece that i'm struggling to find about how writers communicate in a way that no human speaking to another human being would ever, ever communicate. there's an element of isolation of thought and social connection and a neuroticism that is required in order to author individual written works of any length, and it's far from the most accessible or efficient mode of communication. nor is it the most fair. it's an assertion of dominance on the voice of the author at the exclusion of any other perspective or updated facts or even clarifying questions.

writing is the mode of communication considered the most intellectually rigorous and serious despite all of this, and that serves to put the isolated 'author' atop a social and political pedestal above other people, which becomes the most dangerous once you pair it with powerful bureaucratic institutions that prioritize the persuasive, well-written, properly formatted written word over kinship and community ties or oral history.

the example i love to point to is the fact that in the eyes of the state it does not matter that you have lived in a neighborhood with a grandparent for a decade, have strong ties to the community, have only ever known yourself as living there, are well known socially as having lived there-- if your documentation says you are from a different neighborhood (one a parent lives in, say) you can't go to school there. and if you lack any documentation at all you can't even stay in the country.

i dont literally mean like, full illiteracy now everybody burn their books. i love books and i wish people read more of them. but i think ayesha is onto something when she points out that a fixation and prioritization of written language as the most authoritative, rich, and reliable source of information is a reflection of colonialism and the separation of the self as author from an interdependent community where knowledge is shared, evaluated, revised, and evolved freely. ayesha even literally says that in more closely tied communities, no one is worried about being eloquent. and she means that as a good thing.

his hands are always FREEZING for no reason. like you could be doing anything and this man will needs his hands somewhere on you to “warm them up”

this also gives him the excuse to always be touching you because you’re just “so warmmmm”

he wears different variations of the same outfit every day (jeans, t-shirt, flannel of some kind)

he always has music playing. he doesn’t like the quiet :(((

literally so fucking sassy

ask him ONE question and you can see the gears grinding in his head on how cunty he can get

doesn’t really like driving places. not for any reason in particular, but whenever you two go somewhere he likes to walk so he can take pictures of everything (mostly you)

speaking of…this man has THOUSANDS of candids of you, you’re his favorite muse

little spoon little spoon little spoon little spoon

when you’re spooning and you have your arms wrapped around him, he’ll gather your hands in his and hold them to his chest

if we’re in more modern times, his guilty pleasure music is ayesha erotica. he would never say it out loud. but you came home early one day and he had it BLASTING.

makes so many playlists for you omfg

he usually smells like cheap drugstore cologne and cigarettes

it’s hot tho

if you’re in school for literally anything he’ll think you’re an absolute genius (i imagine him going to like a semester of community college and then quitting)

whenever he goes out to buy cigarettes he always brings you back a little sweet treat or drink

he just adores you so incredibly much, he doesn’t know how he went through life before he met you
