i’ve had a pretty bad evening but it’s okay because i ended up finding a life-changing book at the library a few hours ago and i’m already almost finished with it, feels good to actually read bc i so rarely have time/motivation for it these days

#hijab butch blues #such a beautiful book #i love queer desi literature i need to actively seek it out more often #bc there’s another book that altered my life a couple years ago called the love and lies of rukhsana ali #both books focus on islam queer intersection which is not completely relatable to me but still hits pretty close to home #that feeling of grappling with separate parts of your identity race/culture vs queer/trans and not feeling confident in either #there is just a lottttt of shame/guilt involved and this book is really hitting all that #i hope someday i can meet someone who is confident and proud of being desi and being queer #bc that happened in this book and it’s really sweet #i’m gonna be thinking about this book for so long i think i have to buy it #and the other one i mentioned bc i still think about it often and borrowed it again a while back to reread and be emotional abt
