Oh, unlike the sanctions and isolation regime and literal proxy wars that the US has been engaging in while doing things like outright assasinating this country's most prominent general on the basis that he allegedly armed terrorists just like the US has done for my entire lifetime, some other sort of thing

The Power of Effort Over Wishes: My Three Wishes to a Genie

Daily writing promptYou have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for?View all responses If a genie offered me three wishes, my first instinct would be to reject them for myself. Photo by Boris Hamer on Pexels.com The reason is simple: I believe that what we receive without effort lacks the value and fulfilment of something we earn through our hard work, perseverance, and…

call me crazy or a bigot, but I think that the phrases/ideas "islamophobia is bad, and it's wrong and fucked-up for people to attack muslims, and pull off their headscarves, and other forms of bigotry against them, and plenty of muslims are perfectly nice normal people who aren't bigots" AND "islam can be toxic for some people, it can and has been used to hurt some people, it can have the same sorts of toxic bigotry found in christianity, and ex-muslims are valid to leave the religion and critique it" can and should co-exist!

The Temporary Joy

My brothers: Think about the consequences of al-ḏunūb (ie: sins); إِخْوَانِي: تَأَمَّلُوا عَوَاقِبَ الذُّنُوبِ، the enjoyment vanishes quickly, but al-ʿuyūb (ie: the shame) remains. تَفْنَى اللَّذَّةُ وَتَبْقَى الْعُيُوبُ، Beware of sins, it is an evil adventure. احْذَرُوا الْمَعَاصِيَ فَبِئْسَ الْمَطْلُوبُ، How terrible are its effects on the faces and al-qulūb (ie: hearts). مَا أَقْبَحَ آثَارَهَا فِي الْوُجُوهِ وَالْقُلُوبِ.

i don’t know why people never mention it, especially people that used to be Christian, but almost all of the characteristics of angels in supernatural come from Islam. Being their own species, being beings of light, celestial wavelengths of intent, being genderless. Cas’s Boss Nora is explicitly named for it. All that’s kind of overshadowed and ignored in the name of feeling like you’re giving white American Christian’s the middle finger, in the fandom

i stumbled across a Rumi quatrain on tumblr today and it reminded me to go looking for my favourites, so here's a few, all taken from Kulliyat-e Shams-e Tabrizi, with the caveat that i do not speak Farsi and I have read them all as translations only. more notes on translation at the end, but all of these are translated by Zara Houshmand, and taken from the archives of The Iranian.

and the note on translation: these are of course not the Coleman Barks translations, the most popular English translations. i think the orientalism and... de-Sufi-fying and de-Muslim-ifying of the Barks translations and a lot of English-language and Western perception of Rumi is much more discussed now (Jawid Mojaddedi, who is writing a translation of Rumi's multi-volume Masnavi, says, "The Rumi that people love is very beautiful in English, and the price you pay is to cut the culture and religion.") if you're interested, Persian Poetics has a great twitter thread about it and their website has text, audio, and video resources where they've talked about it. and this article from Ajam Media is a short read and an interesting comparison of a few different translations.

if you enjoy Zara Houshmand's translations, she has a book of translations of Rumi's quatrains, Moon and Sun. there's many translations of Rumi's works not by Barks, that prioritise different things: you can 100% find a translation that isn't Barks, and Rumi's work is. so beautiful and so much better when you are not reading whatever uhhh... interpretation Barks came up with.
