"So verily, with hardship there is relief.
Verily, with hardship there is relief."
-Quran || Surat Ash-Sharh 94:5-6

All praises are due to Allah, only the mistakes are mine.

If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.

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:

  • Condition the hell out of my hair
  • Find my Wii system
  • Connect that darn thing
  • Bond with Netflix all day
  • Stay fly

In positive news, actress Eva Longoria recently graduated with a Master’s degree in Chicano Studies from Cal State Northridge.
from the LATimes:

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:
