It's that time of the year again. About 2,250 assignments left to grade until freedom.

I'm struggling to do both at the same time because Ustadha Muslema and Ustadh Ubaydullah Evans are bringing tears to my eyes! Salaams to you all at #IsraMiraj2

Me: saving up to buy a pair of @AmericanDuchess shoes
Product info: the lining is made of pigskin leather
Also me: *sad Muslim noises*

Excuse me, but why does this scream of the Holocaust, and how the Nazis enacted similar policies against the Jewish people??

...

Don't forget that Muslims and Jews follow sister Abrahamic faiths. A history of religious persecution is in our shared DNA.

BBC News - France's Macron issues 'republican values' ultimatum to Muslim leaders.

• Children will be given an IDENTIFICATION NUMBER to help locate them.
• Imams must register.
• No political actions as Muslims.

Macron is going full Marine Le Pen

So you're telling me that after busting out the winter garb from the other side of the closet last week, we're going back to the low 90s today? Come on, Arizona, get it together. 🍂

Lost my safety pin before first even period started. Luckily, a paperclip saved the day. #HijabiHacks

My mom always used to say that if a child is curious enough to ask a question, that means that they've matured enough to think about it and therefore deserve a proper answer.

Sometimes I wonder if my mom is Mr. Rodgers or Atticus Finch in disguise.

I remembered Alan Blunt, Ms. Jones, Jack and Tom to be far more competent in the books but the #AlexRider show was still straight fire. Also loved the addition of Kyra. She rocks.

Sometimes, I fear the consequences of exposing my students' mischief like this. It's fine. They'll learn.

Some of my middle school students decided to copy Wikipedia for their finals, so I encouraged them to add the terms that they were using in their responses to their personal lexicon. Such is the struggle. #onlinelearning #covid19

Dear trolls. There are far more productive things you can be doing instead of #Zoombombing children who are taking their classes online because of #COVID19. Have you ever tried reading a book, painting, or planting a tree? Life is beautiful. Don't make it ugly for the rest of us.

Student Life: Listens to Chillstep while doing homework.
Teacher Life: Listens to Undertale while grading homework.

Some people’s idea of “empowerment” is turning on a cellphone or laptop... I just wish they wouldn’t be excercising such modern sensibilities in my classroom.

Especially since my students are middle schoolers.

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “If the Resurrection were established upon one of you while he has in his hand a sapling, then let him plant it.” (Ahmed)

Women’s spaces ought to be equivalent in size to the men’s section in #Mosques. Though there maybe fewer women who join congregations, they’re the ones babysitting all the children! #NoMoreClaustrophobia #Masjid #Ramadan Reflections

Currently reliving my childhood through Kingdom Hearts and Zelda soundtracks whilst I frantically try to complete all the papers I need to submit before graduation. I can't tell if I'm drowning in work or feels. Send help.

I can no longer stomach the taste of cheap ice cream... I think Berkeley has officially Flowers for Algernoned my tastebuds 🙊
