Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool.
She explained to him in the store that they were really made for girls. Sam then told her that he didn’t care and that “ninjas can wear pink shoes too.”
Sam went to preschool and got several compliments on his new shoes. Not one kid said anything negative toward him about it.
However, my mom received about 20 comments on the photo from various family members saying how “wrong” it is and how “things like this will affect him socially” and, put most eloquently by my great aunt, “that shit will turn him gay.”
My mom then deleted the photo and told Sam that he can wear whatever he wants to preschool, that it’s his decision. If he wants to wear pink shoes, he can wear pink shoes.
Sam then explained to her that he didn’t like them because they were pink, he liked them because they were “made out of zebras” and zebras are his favorite animal :)
Some people may think it’s weird that I bought this shirt but I don’t. We also love Jesus in Islam too. To us he is a prophet and we wish peace upon him whenever mentioning his name. I’m tired of all the misconceptions and divisions between religions. I can wear this shirt and carry the meaning just as much as any christian person could wear it.I know it seems kind of cheesy that I’m making a big deal out of this shirt because It’s just a shirt but I know for a fact we all know that seeing a hijabi with a jesus shirt on is gonna get some double takes.
I think this is cool and you’re cool for it. :D
^^^ Agreed. :)
I LOVE THIS. you are awesome.
I love everything about this image.

Will be doing this on my next roadtrip!

And thus ends today’s Maryland Terrapin basketball spam.
(Maybe.)
(Beat Duke!)
Rivalry basketball matchup tonight between my alma mater Maryland Terps and the Duke Blue Devils.
Even if there is no more Gary Williams and Greivas Vasquez, get ready to cry Duke fans.
TERP NATION ALL THE WAY
Knockin’ - Freddie Stroma
Lost in a world that rattles my brain
I’m cleaning up my life from the mess you made
Oh, oh
Woah, oh oh oh.
My soul’s in debt but my bills are paid
I’d give anything just to make an escape
Oh, oh
Woah, oh oh oh.
So you can keep knockin, knockin, knockin
Baby you’re knockin but there ain’t no way I’m ever letting you in
Not again
So keep on knockin, knocking, knocking
But baby you’re better off walking cause I ain’t gonna let you in
Never again
No, not again
So, so long honey,
There’s no debate
We lived in a dream and faced a fate
Oh, oh
Woah, oh oh oh.
And I’m scared to engage
So I stare at the stage
And pour out my heart to the blank of a page
Oh, oh
Woah, oh oh oh.
So you can keep knockin, knockin, knockin
Baby you’re knockin but there ain’t no way I’m ever letting you in
Not again
So keep on knockin, knocking, knocking
But baby you’re better off walking cause I ain’t gonna let you in
Never again
I went out on a limb again
Guess I had to lose to win
I was too confused to know which way to turn
She could be a millionaire
Be a model, I don’t care
Cause baby there’s nobody home
Nobody’s home!
So you can keep knockin, knockin, knockin
Baby you’re knockin but there ain’t no way I’m ever letting you in
Not again
So keep on knockin, knocking, knocking
But baby you’re better off walking cause I ain’t gonna let you in
Never again
No, not again
I cannot stop listening to this song. Dammit it’s so catchy!
I think Freddie Stroma would make a good Peeta Mellark. :)
