Accidental eavesdropper; I’m the captain now

I have a joke about hindsight but it’s 2020

One of the greatest (yet unheard) Mexican lore is the story of a cheese dip, apparently the maker still yearns for it to be come back home. Resulting in this beautiful verse/poem,

Queso gaye pardes piya tum, chayn hamayn nahi aaaye

@RizwanTakkhar ‘Women are now present in the workforce’ - omg 💀💀💀

It’s ridiculous statements like these that perpetuate harmful stereotypes about Arab/Muslim/desi countries

[Maria K. @mariaccino]

@RizWanKenobi_ It’s so frustrating. Completely drains you. Sigh.

[Maria K. @mariaccino]

@RizWanKenobi_ Sinusitis two weeks, then laryngitis the next two, then dry cough with fever spikes here and there. Fall/winter 2023 has been brutal.

[Maria K. @mariaccino]

@RizWanKenobi_ I don’t know what it is, I think countries in the west oversanitize so some viruses and bacteria get extra strong and those infections last weeks, sometimes longer.

All my friends here in Canada with elementary-aged children have families that’ve been sick for over a month.

[Maria K. @mariaccino]

@angie_a Aww! I hope you get better, asthma can get out of hand quickly but is thankfully manageable. My kid and I are on the same so I don’t bother getting one for myself 😂 inhaler buddies hahah

@DubaiNameShame Yiiikes. I follow her. Unfollowing now.

[Maria K. @mariaccino]

@DubaiNameShame I truly regret not saying anything, a one liner like ‘please do not send me content that is discriminatory towards any religious or ethnic group’ would’ve sent the message.

[Maria K. @mariaccino]

@DubaiNameShame Her family had a very well-known business across the UAE and are still settled there. She’s a grandparent, her kids grew up in Dubai and her grandkids were born and are living there.

The hypocrisy is SO real.

[Maria K. @mariaccino]

@sabahbanomalik That’s why you make it yourself. You can have a million ravioli if you like.

[Maria K. @mariaccino]

@palwashaminhas This stuff is SO good

[Maria K. @mariaccino]

@RizWanKenobi_ I don’t believe it haha. I’m mostly there for Johnny Depp slander. And Ellen slander. And Brad Pitt. Basically celebs I always disliked despite their popularity. There’s a Clooney blind that’s wild but strangely believable to me. Interesting rabbit holes for people with insomnia.

[Maria K. @mariaccino]

@RizWanKenobi_ Yeah, it’s all unverified. There are people who claim to be industry insiders. When something comes out about a public figure with proof then there’s often posts from long ago claiming the same thing. Lots of speculative content as well, discussion about PR and cover ups etc.

[Maria K. @mariaccino]

@RizWanKenobi_ Fauxmoi is actually pretty critical of Deuxmoi , their unverified gossip and bad takes. Some interesting stuff by people who’ve interacted or worked with celebs, not verifiable though. Lots of truths about celebs that come out are posted there long before they’re publicly known.

[Maria K. @mariaccino]

@RizWanKenobi_ 😂 the Fauxmoi subreddit is where it’s at.

Deuxmoi is an Instagram account that posts blind gossip about celebs. Fauxmoi was first named Deuxmoi although not affiliated with the Insta account.

[Maria K. @mariaccino]

@MeethiChhurri True! She was right about the BS fashion industry and shamed for being a snob before being pressured to fit in. Any woman with a thought of her own has had a journey analogous to that 😂

[Maria K. @mariaccino]

I feel like I’ve spent my whole life trying to figure out a formula to get things ‘right’. With deliberately vague instructions to achieve goals that are not designed to be met.

On the odd instance that I do meet said goals, I am given new goalposts.

[Maria K. @mariaccino]

@RizWanKenobi_ The old part would hurt a lot less if the world didn’t constantly infantilize our generation and blame us for not ‘working hard enough’ in systems that weren’t built for our benefit to begin with 🥲
