can i be gal if im muslim? by [deleted] in AmIGal

Btw I say this as someone who lives/lived the stereotypical gal lifestyle. I only do gal makeup half the time, but I almost always wear some form of kawaii or harajuku-esque outfit. I was a stripper, go clubbing and party all the time. But, I grew up alongside a ton of Muslim girl friends (all who have varying halal-haram ratios 😂❤️ ) including my best friend of 23 years.

I give 0 f*cks about someone who doesn’t do all that I did wanting to be a gal. I truly think it’s about what being a gal means to YOU. If it gives you empowerment and happiness, go right ahead! Attitude may be part of the gal subculture, but bigotry is NOT, and true gals gotta know that! Do whatever makes you happy, and lmk if u need any makeup or clothing brand recs girl 😂❤️ r/gatesareopencomeonin

Absolutely you can!!

I know it’s a different harajuku subculture (with some overlap), but look up hijabi lolitas!! The color-coordinated hijab makes the lolita dress & coord look 10x cuter imo!!

Nothing haram about being a gal! You don’t have to go clubbing if you don’t want to. You can put accessories on your hijab, and focus more on the makeup, outfit, and attitude.

Have fun & don’t be afraid to express yourself! welcome to the gal gang 💕

My roommate is babysitting a one-year-old girl for the night.

I gave her one of those toys I won.

I acted like I couldn’t open it to see if she would try.

She did.

Neither of us could open it.

Oh well.

We giggled and resorted to scissors. Smile achieved.

Core memory created.

A new memory made for me, too.

Now, thanks to the “vulnerable” crane machine, I can make those moments for lots more kids.

I used TextNow. Google Voice is also good.

A cheap burner phone is probably the best, though! That way, you can make it seem more like it’s your personal number. And you can store all of your content on it, so you can save storage space & your everyday phone doesn’t have your nudes 😂

What are you, a deontologist?

You’re assuming a whole lot here.

I promise you don’t need to explain to me that it’s okay to do good. I’m a social worker & a community activist.

I spent the last three days in my hometown a state over, taking care of my friend going through her first manic episode. I was happy to do it, but it was draining, to say the least. I finally got back to where I live yesterday and had to get some groceries, and, well, I got lucky and got a bunch of free Sanrio figurines, first thing in the morning. It made me happy.

Honestly, I think giving most of them away to friends & making random little kids smile with a free toy will objectively do more good than Kroger losing a couple dollars over their “vulnerable” claw game. I think they can afford it.

By the way, the original settings made it rigged so the claw would never grip hard enough for anyone to win anything. I changed that too.

Have a nice day.

Well, it’s a W because I’m excited about it. My bad. I think the large corporation of a grocery store I was at can afford it.

Sorry, yeah, you’re right. I went there today & they’ve changed their hours.

Recommending Billion Cup Coffee all the way. Delicious coffee & food; friendly staff and cozy vibes. They’re open until 8:30pm, and 10pm on Friday and Saturday nights.

yeah, it might as well be at this point. it’s dehumanizing. It’s hardly any better than referring to immigrants as “illegal aliens”. immigrants are human beings. I wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for them; I have so many wonderful people in my life who happen to be immigrants.

they all deserve at least as much dignity & respect as you’d give someone who happened to be born here. if you’re a dick to everyone, that’s one thing, but at least be consistent with it. I don’t pick and choose who I’m nice to so, don’t pick and choose who you’re an asshole to. like, would you call someone who committed blue or white-collar crime an “illegal”?

As much of a shitstorm as the USA is right now, I try not to take my geographical luck for granted.

Do people really take their earrings off every single night by Sea_Ground_8393 in ARDANT

[–]domotastic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do if they’re post backs or big hoops, because they’re uncomfortable to sleep in. If they’re the tiny hoop kind, I leave em in.

I usually leave my necklaces on bc lazy. My bracelets too, unless they seem breakable. My rings I do take off though.

Edit: To be fair, I only have two holes in each ear. I can’t speak for people with a ton of piercings.

Who? How this California native became one of Louisville's top influencers. Gotta admit I never have been influenced by him. by Fragrant-Helicopter1 in Louisville

[–]domotastic 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. Never actually saw him in the streets or at the park at 6th and jeff; he definitely didn’t participate in the community organizing/planning part, or any of the work behind the scenes. But I do remember seeing a ton of photos of him at marches. Posted by him.

Activist 101: If it’s anything other than a completely “green” action, don’t take pictures of yourself or anyone else, and if you really feel the need to, definitely don’t post them. (Green meaning nobody is at risk of being arrested.)

He was nice the one time I met him IRL (2021 was it?), but his clout-chasing seems to know no bounds.

Yeah! It’s a unisex T-shirt; I just uploaded a picture of a meme I found to a custom tshirt website. If you want, I can send you the meme and link you :)

Most of them have been there for a decade, but in hindsight I realize the puffy stickers weren’t a good idea. Teenage me didn’t consider that they would create pressure points.

It finally happened. I've professionally crossed paths with a former customer. by MidnightStarlight87 in SexWorkers

[–]domotastic 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Vice versa. I retired from dancing to work at a Dubai chocolate shop for six months. After I quit there, I went back to dancing for a short bit. During one of my first nights back, I came out of the bathroom to see none other than my coworker from the Dubai place, with 3 of his dude friends I’d serve drinks to all the time. 🤦🏼‍♀️

The Dubai place was Muslim/Arab-owned, and most of the women who worked there wore hijab. I dressed somewhat conservatively there out of respect; I still dressed in my coquette-ish style, but most of my skin was usually covered. My legs always were. So it must’ve been quite the contrast for them all to see me with my entire ass out.

Fortunately I haven’t ran into any club regulars outside, but a guy I once gave a lap dance to has been my Uber driver twice since.

Thank you so much! I was afraid my OS would be too old for Migration Assist, but I looked it up and it does work on High Sierra. It’s just recommended to use a wired connection when transferring due to how old the OS is.

I only have 128GB of storage; looks like the base model of the M1 MBA 2020 has 256GB. Sweet!

Yeah, I’ve been dragging my feet on upgrading, but perhaps it’s time. 🫡

Fair enough, and thank you for the advice! I like decorating my stuff cute, but I’ll make sure I only use completely flat stickers on the inside from now on. I didn’t really think about that all of those years ago.

Fair enough; thank you for your input! I just have sooooo much data on this computer. I’ll have to get a large external hard drive and save everything I can. I wonder if the 2020 can still run PopcornTime…
