Violets not Violence

“All night a man called “Allah” until his lips were bleeding. Then the devil sad, “How come you’ve been calling Allah all night, and never heard Allah say “Here, I am!”? The man suddenly felt abandoned. Depressed he fell asleep. In a dream, he met Abraham who asked him, “Why are you regretting praying to Allah?” The man said, “I called and called, but Allah never replied.” Abraham then explained, Allah has said: “your calling my name is My reply. Your longing for Me is My message to you. All my attempts to reach you are reflected in your attempts to reach me.” In the silence surrounding every call of “Allah”, waits a thousand replies of “Here I am.””

just saw a clip of a Palestinian child who fearlessly say that he is not scared. a reporter asks him but 'they' have broken him ( his finger, arm and back). and he simply answers.

i don't see enough appreciation for closeted lesbians. i'm thinking of lesbians who can't dress they way the want, or style their hair how they wish. i'm thinking about the lesbians who entertain coversations about relationships with men, or dodge questions about their dating life from family members. i'm thinking about the lesbians who have to keep their relationships secret. i'm thinking about lesbians who don't really understand lesbian terminology and have no one to ask. i'm thinking about the lesbians who are just coming to understand their sexuality and are scared, confused, and worried. i'm thinking about the lesbians who can't consume lgbt media and have very little positive representation, if any. i'm thinking about the lesbians who have never met anyone else like them before. i'm thinking about trans lesbians who are consistently misgendered. i'm thinking about the lesbians who are only out to a close circle of friends. i'm thinking of lesbians who are closeted because they're dependent on others for housing, food, medication, clothing, etc.
