I hate when people ask me what happens if I, a Muslim, eats pork.
Fuck do they want to hear?
My intestines explode out of my abdomen and I’m dragging down to hell by Lucifer himself?
Because the last time I had a ham sandwich, that didn’t happen.
Goals for today:

In positive news, actress Eva Longoria recently graduated with a Master’s degree in Chicano Studies from Cal State Northridge.
She titled her thesis “Success STEMS From Diversity: The Value of Latinas in STEM Careers.” “STEM” is an acronym for science, technology, engineering and math. The petite actress also has a bachelor’s of science degree in kinesiology from Texas A&M University, according to IMDB.
Longoria celebrated the happy occasion with none other than her parents, friends and family.
“In my cap and gown with mom and dad! I look like Harry Potter!” she wrote, posting another pic. And friends in the Twitterverse and online were quick to send her congrats.
Great job!
In case anyone is interested, here are a few extra resources on STEM and diversity:
- Latinas in Stem (twitter link)
- Fact sheet on Latinas in STEM (published in Dec 2008)
- The Center for STEM Diversity at Tuft University
