This is how you protest. Not with cutest signs, not with cringey chants. Not with stupid hats. You roll up your sleeves and fuck some shit up.
I never thought in 2026, that i’d be rooting for Albania and Iran. But here we are.
Forcing innocent people back into the office instead of working from home on a Friday, but don’t even have the rail infrastructure to carry people safely, with reasonable fare and on-time!
UK is a hot mess. Praying for the injured 🙏🏾🚂
Kevin Hart was PISSED when a kid recreated the PG version of the iconic “DAMN” scene between him & Don Cheadle 💀🤣🤣
“How old are you?”
“I’m 46, that’s my age”
“DANG”
زوجتي صار لها خمس سنوات ما تنام أكثر من ساعتين نوم متواصل بدون انقطاع.
وأنا؟ أنام 8 ساعات.
مرة قلت لها:
“عادي، طبيعي… وجود طفل صغير كذا يصير.”
هي نظرت لي وقالت شيء خلاني أسكت تمامًا:
I don’t know mehn but I really think that a consideration for marriage is being with someone that makes life very easy for you. The quality of your life has to improve after marriage otherwise there is no point.
That is why I don’t like it when people who say that marriage is an ibadah interpret it wrongly and it starts leaning into enduring abuse, suffering and smiling, staying put in toxic situations and putting your needs below everyone else’s needs.
This dunya is hard. Your spouse shouldn’t make it harder.
My husband and I both work full-time, but somehow after we got married, all the house chores quietly became my responsibility.
Even when he helped, it felt like he was “assisting” me instead of us both taking care of our home.
One week, his mom came to visit. I was cleaning, cooking, doing laundry, basically running around the house while my husband sat on the couch watching football. I asked him if he could help vacuum and he casually said, “Later,” without even looking up.
His mother looked at both of us and said “Did you both not come back from work yesterday at the same time?”
I laughed and said, “We did.”
Then she asked my husband, very calmly, “So why is she the only one working today too?”
Silence.
That woman got up, took the remote from his hand, switched off the TV, and handed him the vacuum cleaner.
Then she said, “Marriage is not a system where one person rests while the other manages everything. If both of you are contributing financially, then both of you contribute at home too.”
She then looked at me and said “I didn’t raise my son to think his wife is his personal maid, Don’t let exhaustion become your personality because you’re trying to prove you’re a good wife.”
I swear that sentence changed something in me.
Now we split things properly . If I cook, he cleans up. If one of us is overwhelmed, the other steps in. The entitlement disappeared completely.
She still calls sometimes just to ask him, “Hope you’re not stressing my daughter?” 😭
you don’t realize how much your environment affects your mental state until you finally spend time somewhere that feels calm and your body stops feeling tense for once
Allahumma inni as'aluka rizq that flows into my life like Zamzam, constant, pure, and never running dry. Bless me with rizq that is abundant beyond what I can imagine, arriving in ways I never expect, and reaching me with ease, without struggle, at the right time.
Heal me on the Day of Arafah, Ya Allah. Heal me so deeply that even my memories stop hurting. Replace the tears in my eyes with light in my heart. Make me forget the words that wounded me and remember only that You are enough for me.

A woman on my flight yesterday switched seats with her husband because their toddler wouldn’t stop crying.
The second she sat down alone, she closed her eyes for maybe 30 seconds.
Just resting.
Not sleeping.
When the husband walked past with the kid later, he laughed and said loudly,
“Must be nice to finally get a break from doing nothing.”
A few people chuckled.
She laughed too.
But something about it felt off because for the entire flight she had been:
holding the baby,
packing snacks,
cleaning spills,
walking him down the aisle,
missing her own meal trying to calm him down…
while the husband watched a movie with headphones on.
And honestly I think that’s why so many women are exhausted.
Not because they’re doing everything alone.
But because they’re doing everything while someone else calls it “nothing.”
