9/11 is coming up - and with it, a sharp spike of anxiety that always accompanies the anniversary. each year our community deals with attacks, threats, even deaths. each anniversary i don’t leave my house. i don’t go to the masjid.
i remember the time someone shot up the side of our mosque when we were inside
i remember the time someone chased two young hijabis with a taser
i remember the time someone intentionally swerved towards me when i was crossing the street and i stood frozen in fear
i remember the time someone slipped a knife threat into my mailbox
or the times my friends and i have been verbally assaulted in crowded public spaces and nobody said a word
call out racism and islamophobia when you see it. check in on your muslim neighbors and friends. refuse to tolerate the bigotry and hate that takes lives and spreads fear - both in public and online. stand united with us against hate.
You don’t have to be black, it just means you support us, you stand by us and your for us.

since some of yall (mostly racist white people and c**ns) got upset with me the other day about supporting black fanfiction writers, i decided to explain to you all about why i said what i said.
I made these in response to hate crimes in my community. They are full size and free to download and print if you’d like to use them, too.
Maybe you’ve seen this book around. CARVE THE MARK is the new book by Veronica Roth, author of DIVERGENT, and extremely racist. For weeks now people of color have been speaking up about this. x x It features extremely racist portrayals of black-coded people as savage aggressors. But time and time again youll notice white people on social media who say they’ll check for themselves instead of listening to POC.
This time it happens to be an author who has their history of writing racist books x x x x x
I think you guys are smart enough to understand that as a white man, there is no way he’d be able to do that.
This thread explains the consequences of this behavior quite nicely
CALL. PEOPLE. OUT. ON. THEIR. RACISM.
I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

leftist antisemites are really everywhere on this hellsite making & reblogging their posts like “the Jews have too much power and privilege and actually their very recent genocide was not that bad compared to what my group experiences and antisemitism doesn’t even exist in my country and especially not in liberal spaces”
