    New followers: you can call me Kaye. I'm apparently a magical girl, depending on who you ask. I talk a lot. I write...I should write more.

    Okay, guys, so I'm going on an official hiatus and giving my best friend the account password to lock me out. If we don't have each other's cell phone numbers and we have plans soon, DM me within the next two hours! The account will be checked sporadically.

    Mommy's Khimar is a beautiful children's book--and I appreciate this thread on why the story is important not only for Muslim identity but Black identity as well. (Identity isn't, and shouldn't be, an either-or)

    I asked my cousin for advice on how to get into a good grad school. "Make sure every personal narrative is sad. They want to see our pain, so own that and get your funding." 😅

    If you've had time as a self-declared ally to weigh in on how Black people should feel about Jussie (I've seen that) or bemoan your wasted time (I've seen that, too) you should be boosting this instead and doing something helpful.

    I just read a post about "white manpain" as "white marzipan" which is perfect because now I can roll my eyes and imagine smashing entitlement under my boot.

    This is so true. Been thinking about this (+ Lauren's following tweet) a lot recently as I recalibrate myself.

    NEWS: Met with about S4 They made clear that they love the show, love how it serves underrepresented audiences, love its heart & humor, but...we need more viewers. They'll decide soon. I wish I felt more confident WHAT CAN YOU DO? Tell friends to watch!

    I've studied and reported on the intersection of road rage and anti-Muslim hate for the last year. In my previous story, I talked to 30 hijabi women who encountered racial slurs on the road. Now a Muslim man is dead. A terrifying pattern is emerging.
