I’m on this guy’s mailing list and I have to say it’s real good old school fun, like having an uncle who emails you slightly misspelled emails and then there’s a print.

important ! In recent years especially this year I’ve noticed a lot that the internet language picked up so many Islamic phrases and, from a muslim perspective, it makes the internet a little more welcoming. the thing is, a lot of the time with Islamic phrases you have to be careful about when and where to say them they hold their own weight and demand their own respect so here is a list explaining each phrase and some notes about it.
It means “ If God wills “. Muslims say it because we’re unaware of what future holds it’s actually blasphemous to claim to know the future, so saying so means “ If it’s the will of god it will happen if not it won’t “ and you’d say it about future events. side note, it’s also a polite way of saying No. for example, someone asks you to do something and you say in sha allah. Technically you’re not saying yes or no, and if it’s not in god’s will it won’t happen.
It means “ this is what god intended “ and it’s a compliment. Saying so is like saying WOW! But it’s also kind of a prayer of protection? If I see someone with pretty hair I should say “ Ma sha allah your hair is very pretty “ the ma sha allah protects the person from the evil eye. By saying that I’m also saying I’m not jealous I’m genuinely enamored and I don’t wish any harm to go to it.
it means “ to god I repent “ or “ from god I seek forgiveness” it’s usually used when you make a mistake but people also use it when they see something bad or when they want to avoid saying something bad. Like once my card refused to work and I’d say that so I won’t say any curse words and to calm down my anger
okay this one is important. This one shouldn’t be used so lightly. It means “ by god’s name “ and it’s basically swearing in Allah’s name. You are only supposed to say it if you genuinely mean what you’re saying. It’s such a heavy word that I only say it very rarely and if you say it and don’t follow up on what you said you have to fast for three days as repentance.
One more note is that with the name of Allah you should also be careful it’s not supposed to be written on papers that’ll get stepped on or lightly used in art because it also has its own weight it’s regarded heavily. Like even in home decorations it should be elevated and not overshadowed. If I have to throw away a paper I have to sit down and color over the name of Allah or burn the papers so it won’t get thrown in trash.
another note is that those phrases aren’t Muslim exclusive. Some Arab non-Muslims use them as well. This is only my explanation from a Muslim perspective.
Another another note is this is what I can remember at the moment but if you have additions or enquiries let me know

can't stop thinking about that one tweet that says "there's starbucks in egypt?" in response to the news of egypt's success in boycotting starbucks
many people don't know this but there are starbucks in the middle east except that they're placed strategically so as to be just as far away from civilization as to ensure that by the time visitors travel deep enough into the desert for it, their steps start getting unsteady and the camera starts wobbling from the heat and they just barely have enough strength to drop to their knees at the oasis and start lapping at the white chocolate mocha blended iced frappucino lake
i think my best tip for "how do i draw backgrounds" and especially "how do i learn to enjoy drawing backgrounds" is dont call them backgrounds to be honest... calling it a background presents it as secondary to the characters, which means people have a tendency to treat them as an afterthought. a chore. i see this a lot in comic spaces, a lot of peoples least favourite stage is "drawing the backgrounds"....
for me at least when i stopped thinking of it as "backgrounds" and instead as "environments", they stopped being a chore. bc it's like, well? theyre not some tedious afterthought, theyre generally actually the focus. taking the characters out of the environment would drastically change things, the place they're occupying is its own key character too who theyre also interacting with... i dunno. the way you think about things has a bit impact on how you draw them anyway
a lot of the time, i feel a physical disconnect from the idea of Butch. im barely average height, i have soft features, ive got a pronounced chest and despite never shaving in my life im barely hairy
a while ago, i went to build a bear and chose a white cat with pink and purple markings and big pretty eyelashes. the only clothes i gave her was a blue plaid shirt. i gave her a scent pad in her chest that smells like birthday cake. she left that store without a name, because they didnt ask and i didnt see the dumb little computers.
she is much like me, in the way that she is physically feminine in ways she cannot change (at least not without extensive work). i dont think ill ever go on t, but i wish so much about me was different. i thought about calling her cupcake for a while, but this name feels more apt. were both evolving. obviously wearing plaid doesnt make her butch, but shes symbolic of me in a sense.
everyone say hello to stud muffin. theres a joke about dykes and muffs in there somewhere
Short shuake crack about… taxes.
Happy tax season guys. :P This is where my humor sense is lol
For context, if you’re doing taxes with someone, you’ve gone all the way. There’s flirting, dating, marriage, everything else in between, and then there’s doing taxes together. It’s a whole another level of relationship.
do it for her (your thirteen year old self)

If you have shared it with someone else or didn't finish the whole thing, select a "yes" option. Select the option that best describes your experience with cigarettes.

The five of swords. Heated competition, boastfulness, victory at any cost.
At some point in your life, you were taught that being slightly annoying is an unforgivable sin. Maybe it was by your parents or a teacher or a friend or a bully or an older sibling. But someone taught you that being slightly annoying is a crime punishable by death.
You must unlearn this.
You must accept that all people will be annoying at some point or another in their lives, maybe all of their lives, and that this is okay. It is okay for strangers on the bus, it is okay for children in the grocery store, it is okay for people on social media, and it is okay for you.
If you ever want to truly love your fellow humans, if you ever want to truly love yourself, you must have forgiveness for being annoying.
blue-toned purples, my beloved ♡
