the reason why Palestine isn’t being seen anymore because there’s barely any journalists left. 20% of Lebanon is now under Israeli occupation. 12 million people have been displaced in Sudan. Over 25 million people are facing acute hunger in Congo. Don’t stop talking.
My brain can’t comprehend how a monkey and a penguin get more attention than an actual human baby, starving in the middle of a genocide. People in Gaza deserve to live too. No child deserves to be starved to death or shot in the head.
If you've been waiting for something you deeply want like marriage, the right job, relief from a hardship, or the answer to a du'a you've been making for years, or if you're trying to hold yourself back from a temptation you know wouldn’t please Allah like a relationship you shouldn't pursue, a habit you're trying to leave, or a desire that keeps pulling at you, then follow along with this du'a:
Ya Saboor,
teach me the patience that doesn’t expire. Make me calm when delay tests me and grateful even as I wait. Grant me patience over my desires, and through my trials and upon the deeds that will protect me from the Fire.
Ya Haleem,
You see my mistakes and still give me time to fix them. You watch my slips and still cover them in kindness. Make me forbearing with those around me and quick to forgiveness with those who may wrong me.
Ya ‘Aliyy,
Ya Muta’aaly,
raise my heart above resentment and smallness. Lift my gaze towards the higher ways that reach You. And place my hopes in what lasts with You. Let my character rise, even when my status falls, for You are higher than everything that confuses me or defeats me. Lift me above pettiness, above despair, above sin, until my soul finds its peace in Your elevation.

A black woman from Kenya disappeared in the UK and was found dead in a body of water.
Barely anyone reported on it.
No one is saying her name.
She’s being forgotten.
Melissa is doing incredible work to raise awareness about cases no one else will report on.
The Khartoum Aid Kitchen is one of the most important initiatives fundraising to assure that those affected by the genocide in #Sudan have access to food, clean water, shelter, medical care and to many other essential things. Pls share and contribute 🙏

I have seen this picture cross my feed many times, and every single time it pulls me up short. His little blue lunchbox, the sneakers that are probably a tad too big because he would grow into them, the straps for his glasses so that he didn’t lose them, his checkered shirt that his little hands might have stumbled over in trying to make sure he got every button right, or perhaps his mother bent down to help him with; his mother who he waves goodbye to, who he loved and who loved him so deeply.
JUST IN: Meta sold 7 million Ray-Ban smart glasses in 2025 alone.
Workers in Kenya are watching the footage.
Not metadata. Not anonymized clips. The actual videos. People undressing. People in bathrooms. People having sex. Bank cards. Medical documents.
The blurring is supposed to protect privacy. It fails constantly. The contractors see everything.
Here is the part that should stop you cold: You did not buy the glasses. You did not agree to the terms of service. You did not consent to anything. But if someone wearing Meta glasses walks into your bedroom, your bathroom, your doctor's office, your home, a contractor on the other side of the world may be watching you right now.
The person wearing the glasses consented. Everyone else in the room did not.
Meta's defense is that this is all disclosed in the privacy policy. They are technically correct. Buried in language so dense that 99% of users never read it. And even if they did, it would not matter, because the terms govern the wearer's data. Not yours. You are not a party to the contract. You are the product being annotated.
Millions of AI-enabled cameras walking around in public. Recording constantly. Uploading to servers. Reviewed by humans earning a few dollars an hour to label your most intimate moments so the algorithm gets smarter.
This is not a bug. This is the business model.
The EU is already asking questions. MEPs submitted formal inquiries to the Commission this week demanding answers on GDPR compliance. The problem is obvious: European data protection law requires consent from data subjects. Bystanders are data subjects. Bystanders never consented. The entire architecture violates the regulation by design.
Meta's response has been silence and a reference to terms of service that do not apply to the people actually being filmed.
Google Glass died because people called the wearers "Glassholes" and banned them from bars. Meta solved the social problem by making the glasses look normal. They did not solve the privacy problem. They hid it.
Seven million units sold in 2025. The installed base is accelerating. Every unit is a potential surveillance node operated by someone who may not understand what they are feeding into the system and reviewed by contractors who see everything the algorithm cannot process.
The question is not whether this becomes a scandal. The question is whether the scandal arrives before or after the glasses are on 50 million faces.
Watch the EU. If Brussels moves on GDPR enforcement, Meta faces a choice: disable human review in Europe and cripple the AI training pipeline, or accept fines that could reach billions. Neither outcome is priced into the stock.
The glasses are selling faster than ever.
The contractors keep watching.
And somewhere right now, someone you have never met is looking at footage of you that you never knew existed.
