Disability can happen at any time, sweetheart!

Your perfectly healthy, abled kid can be in a car accident that paralyzes them from the neck down

Your lovely neurotypical toddler can contract a rare disease that leaves them with irreparable brain damage

Your child can lose motor skills from a sports head injury

Your child can become deaf or blind from an illness, an injury or a recessive gene

Your child can suffer an accident that costs them a limb

Your child can develop a brain tumor or a heart problem or a myriad of issues that will disable them long after they are born a healthy, abled, neurotypical baby.

Just because your child was not born disabled does not mean they cannot become disabled.

Not wanting the hardship that a disabled child comes with is understandable. No one wishes their child to be disabled.

No Shave November is NOT about female body issues or body hair liberation or any other bullshit.

It is about raising awareness for prostate cancer and its lack of funding. Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer and is the 3rd leading cause of cancer deaths yet its research and cure development is the least funded of all cancers.

Men's health in general is sorely underfunded over all and more people need to know about this. Ladies? These are our fathers, brothers, sons, uncles, nephews, friends, and colleagues. It's time we all come together, step up, and demand better treatment for thes people we love.

If you can, PLEASE give something this month. The Prostate Cancer Foundation is a great place to donate if you can.

It's not for them, and the insistence that it should make space for them where they don't belong shows a lack of consideration for the real, important issues this campaign addresses, from cancer to mental health.

Nice to see something that reminds me of what a great world we live in.

From Abu Hurairah from the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] who said:

❝Whoever says when he goes to his bed to sleep:

«لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ سبحانَ اللهِ، والحمدُ لله، ولا إله إلا الله، واللهُ أكبرُ.»

'There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah Alone, He has no partners, He has the Dominion and for Him is all praise. He is capable of all things, there is no capability nor is there any power except with Allaah, far is Allaah from imperfection and praise is for Him, there is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah and Allaah is the Greatest.

Then his sins are forgiven – or his mistakes – even if they were like the foam on the sea.❞
