@taylorswift @taylornation please meet her!!!

My sister is a cancer patient and wants to meet Taylor!

Okay so yeah, this is such a “sympathy seek” and normally I hate those, but tbh there’s only a few days left until the concert. My sister is a massive Taylor fan and we were gonna get tickets for when Taylor’s in Ireland (which is now in only a few days) but we didn’t get them because with her chemo schedule we didn’t bother because we didn’t think she’d be able to make it given that she’s in and out of hospital so much.

However, ANGEL THAT SHE IS, Taylor gave a bunch of tickets to the local children’s hospital in Dublin, and the doctors know my sisters a big fan so they gave her tickets and are trying to rearrange her chemo so that she can go to the concert this Saturday!

Were absolutwly over the moon, I’ve been a fan of Taylor since 2013, and my sister is in love with her music. It would mean the world to her to meet Taylor. Honestly, given everything that she’s been through this year, she deserves everything that can put a smile on her face if only for a little while.

She has osteosarcoma, which is a rare bone cancer. Hopefully after another few months of chemo and possibly another surgery or two, she’ll be finished up with treatment and will be in the clear.

Please please please reblog this if you see it, it would be so amazing for her to get the chance to meet Taylor while she’s in Ireland!

We’ll be sitting in the Hogan Stand, Lower Tier, Block 328, Row J, Seat 1 and 2

Please please pleaseeeee reblog if you see this!! 🌺

me trying to stay positive about hugging Taylor even though the chances seem pretty low

[swiftietillidie-blog]

doesn't mod s call herself a feminist? she can't be muslim and a feminist, islam is a male dominated religion, women have to be constantly oppressed. it's disgusting how muslim women are treated

Well, first of all, I’m use they/them, but thanks so much for misgendering me!

You wanna talk about how Muslim women and and woman-aligned people are treated? Fine, we can talk about that.

We can talk about how the Quran was revealed in 632 AD, saying how women are equal to men. (“And their Lord responded to them: ’…be you male or female - you are equal to one another.’” [Quran 3:195])

We can talk about how in the 16th century, western men were still debating if women had souls.

We can talk about how in 632, the 1st century, Muslim women had the rights to choose who to marry, to divorce, to work, to educate and be educated, to have their won inheritance, to their own land and property, to have their own businesses, to participate in combat, to half their husband’s wealth, to have their own opinions, to have custody of their children, and on and on and on.

We can talk about Muslim women’s right to have a voice in government. Tell me, when did the USA give (white) women “equal participation in the political process,” or voting? 1920. Muslim women have had that since 632.

We can talk about how Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Turkey, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, and Senegal have all had female Presidents or Prime Ministers. How 1/3rd of Egypt’s parliament is female. How in the lovely USA, we haven’t even had a women vice-president yet.

We can talk about the hijab, niqab, abaya, and burqa, how they’re mainly worn to protect women from leering men, and to allow women to interact freely in public without people being able to judge their bodies or looks and only having their minds and personalities to make judgements off of.

We can talk a out how the Western world has twisted our clothing into “women have to cover up because they’re indecent!” and women and feminine-presenting people get attacked and have their coverings yanked off, either because of Islamophobic hatred or misguided attempts at saving us.

We can talk about how I’ve had my hijab ripped off twice, both times by white men, once outside my community’s masjid (the Muslim place of worship.) And oddly enough, my clothing didn’t stop me from breaking one of those men’s noses when he went after my sister. Just like it’s never stopped me from going to school, or playing sports, or doing anything a white woman or woman aligned person could do.

We can talk about how outside of the masjid, where men and women are required to cover their heads, I’ve never once been made to wear a hijab.

We can talk about how the only people who have lectured me about dressing modestly were non-Muslim teachers and other educators.

We can talk about how people want to preach about how Muslims think women are indecent, when western schools freak out when a girl shows her shoulders.

We can talk about my cousin who once made a joke about women belonging in the kitchen and how out of thirty people in the room, the only person who laughed was his white friend. How his father immediately corrected him.

We can talk about how the first university ever, the University of al-Qarawiyyin, was founded in 858 by Fatima al-Fihri, a Muslim woman. How despite that, the summer I was thirteen and taking extra courses at the community college, an instructor praised me for joining even though “I know Muslim parents don’t let girls have higher education.” I had to look her in the eyes and ask who she thought was paying for my classes.

We can talk about the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.a.w.) who denounced all forms of enslavement of women, and assisted women in issuing their rights to exist freely.

We can talk about people who rush to condemn Muslim men for hurting the “defenseless” girls, then turning around and making jokes about raping and hitting women.

We can talk about the “saviors of Muslim women,” talking about how they’re so oppressed, they don’t get to make their own choices.

We can talk about how these people completely ignore anyone who says they’re wrong and call them brainwashed. Because of course millions of women have been coerced into believing in a tradition that views them as subservient, what other explanation is there?

We can talk about how patronizing and infantalizing this is, how it denies Muslim women and woman aligned people agency and puts our “saviors” on a pedestal. “We need to be their heroes! Because obviously they can’t fix their problems without the aid of white people!”

We can talk about how it’s true that Muslim women suffer from misogyny. How there are Muslim men who think of women as lesser, how some Muslim women are forced to cover themselves and marry. Because guess what? There is no culture that is exempt from misogyny and sexism, gender discrimination is a problem everywhere. But you cannot call an entire culture and religion inherently misogynistic, that is in no way true. 

We can talk about how somehow there’s this incredibly untrue idea that Western cultures have “progressed forward, and sexism doesn’t exist here, only in other countries and cultures.”

We can talk about how if people want to help Muslim women, all that is needed is for them to listen to us and follow our lead.

We can talk about how Muslim women and woman aligned people do not need white people to save them. We have always been capable of helping ourselves.

There are a lot of conversations to be had about the treatment of Muslim women, if it’s something you want to discuss.

But the thing is? People who talk about how oppressed Muslim women are generally don’t.

You want a deflection from your misogyny, “You think I’m bad! You should see how Muslim girls are treated.” You want an excuse for your Islamophobia, “We need to criticize Islam, they treat women awfully!” You want justification for western imperialism, “These wars are necessary! We need to save the poor girls!”

You don’t care about Muslim women and women aligned people.

Stop pretending like you do.

I am hospitalized since last week. I have no choice anymore. I am scared. So scared. But I have to. Anorexia won’t kill me. Thank you @taylorswift for being here. I am sad, I am terrified, I feel lost but I have you and somehow that gives me the strenght to fight.

@taylorswift this song!!!

I’m

⚪ gay

🔘 not your princess, this ain’t a fairy tale, I’m gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well, this is a big world, that was a small town there in my rear view mirror disappearing now

[swiftietillidie-blog]

May Allah be with you

• This fundraiser is for my parents and i. For now, we are staying at neighbor’s house since we’re kicked out from the house (sometimes go to my aunt’s and stay there for some days and back to the neighbor’s again).

• My dad is fired. My mom is only a housemaid. And i can not finish my uni too (still trying my best to get a job here and waiting for any calls ; so does my dad, he’s also trying to get a new job even though it seems difficult to him due to his age. Keep us in your duas).

• My heart condition is not good. My doctor said that i might need a heart transplant. But i can not get further check up or even serious treatments nor go to the hospital (if i really need it or not) due to the financial problem and the test we have been facing. I also have stopped getting the therapy as well. So everything is like a dead end to me, also to my parents.

The tests are real. But alhamdulillah.

Please my brothers/sisters, to kindly donate some. $1 means a lot to us. In shaa Allah i also will donate some money for the refugees & victims in Palestine, Syria, & Rohingya (the explanation is explained on the site 🙂).

Thank you so much in advance. May Allah reward you all well. Jazakumullah khayran.

I wanna donate but my country is different you might not get access to my money. Reblogging anyways

Hi everyone!

I’m not ever someone to ask for money but my friend is battling Leukemia and requires a bone marrow transfusion within the next two weeks. Her family don’t have the kind of money to pay for her treatment and it would mean the world to me if you could even reblog or donate $1 or whatever you feel.

I really don’t even know what to say at this point but I love you guys and it would mean so much to Eva and her family. 💕💕
