𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑾𝒉𝒐 𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝑬𝒍𝒐𝒏 𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒌⭐(Friday's Tale)

On the frigid morning of January 1, 2024, an ungodly hour past midnight, Elon Musk found himself knee-deep in the ultimate glitch. Picture this: London on the horizon, a pivotal conference at the ungodly hour of 6 a.m., and an unforeseen digestive apocalypse curtesy of some dodgy sushi. His plush ride turned into a war zone, and the richest, most powerful man on Earth discovered a new definition of rock bottom – he'd shitted himself.

The streets teemed with life, paparazzi sniffing for their next scoop. A crisis unfolded. Hotels, no refuge. Commerce, on pause. Jammed phone lines condemned him to the clutches of a dilemma only a laundromat could remedy. In the city's underbelly, he stumbled upon a humble establishment run by an Indian family. The scent of spices and incense masked the scent of Musk's misfortune, but a crowd of over twenty had already gathered.

Clad in a jacket disguising the wreckage below, Musk attempted to navigate the disapproving glares. Asserting his identity became the only way out. "I'm Elon Musk, and I need immediate assistance!" he proclaimed. The Indian proprietor, undeterred by celebrity, retorted, "I don't care who you are; you wait!" Musk cranked up the volume, "I'm Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and Twitter, and it's of vital importance that you…" the Indian, cut him off, "I'm Jagdish Patel, I don't give a bloody bloody who you are! You wait!" An air of tension thickened. Musk persisted, "It's crucial; I have a conference with the most important people on Earth about…" Patel interrupted again, "I don't bloody care! We're working since morning, and nobody on Earth cares about us, so we don't care about them!" Unyielding, Musk continued, "I can give you $1000 if you…" Patel shot back, "You can give me all the money in world, but you wait! This old woman is here for hours!" Anger boiling, Musk threatened, "You know!? I can pay somebody to kill you if you don't help me!" Patel, indifferent and powerful like Shiva in person, replied, "I don't care! I'm Indian; if you kill me, I reincarnate and kick your ass in another life!"

The dialogue hit a crescendo when two towering, Jamaican-accented men intervened, "Yo, yuh haffi wait like everybody else, or we mek yuh shit dat second time inna row!"

At the stroke of 5 o'clock, wearied by the relentless standoff, Patel apologized, "We're closing. Come back tomorrow, Sir." slamming the door on Elon Musk's face.

In the heart of London, the man who could launch rockets to space and redefine social media was defeated by a humble Indian and a touch of poop, a stark reminder that money can't buy everything.

Embracing Identity: The Empowering Journey of "I Am Chosen" Shaina Tranquilino March 6, 2024

In a world filled with diverse narratives and unique life stories, the phrase "I Am Chosen" resonates with a powerful and empowering message that transcends boundaries. This mantra serves as a reminder to individuals that they are not merely passive participants in the grand tapestry of existence but active protagonists, chosen for a purpose that is uniquely their own.

At the core of "I Am Chosen" lies the recognition of individual significance. Each person is a product of their experiences, talents, and innate qualities that set them apart from the rest. Embracing the idea that one is chosen implies acknowledging the intrinsic value and potential within oneself. It is a declaration that one's existence is not accidental but purposeful, contributing something valuable to the world.

Overcoming Self-Doubt:

In a society often riddled with comparison and unrealistic standards, self-doubt can creep into the minds of even the most confident individuals.

"I Am Chosen" is not just a phrase; it is a transformative mindset that can shape the course of an individual's life. Embracing this identity involves recognizing and celebrating one's unique qualities, overcoming self-doubt, and actively pursuing personal growth.

The Pronoun Tango and Biological Realities: Gender Conversations

As I sit here, of course, I start thinking, so why not think out loud? Ah, the pronoun predicament! Some folks have very strong feelings about their preferred pronouns and can get quite insistent about them. It can feel a bit like being handed a script in a foreign language and being scolded for not reciting it perfectly. I mean, sure, we all want to be respected and treated decently. But isn’t…

Coming out as bisexual 22 years ago never prepared me for coming out as non-binary over a year ago and realizing that I’m not even remotely interested in dating women 🤷🏼‍♀️ What does one call a female-bodied non-binary human who is attracted to men? Am I still queer? Can I still feel like a genderless blob and not be queer or trans? Am I a secret hetero hasbian doomed to be shunned by gays everywhere?!? The confusion ensues! 😂 Shout out to the cool people who date people who don’t identify as male or female AND get our pronouns right 👊🏼 HAPPY NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY, FAM!!! 😘😘😘 • • • #theythem #nonbinary #enby #nonbinarybabes #genderidentity #identitymatters #queervegan #nationalcomingoutday #genderneutral #comeoutcomeoutwhereveryouare #nonbinarypride #nonbinarycuties #nonbinarycutie #genderless #genderlesslove #genderlessismore (at Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoztthPjv-U/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d1xtkemjfxx3

#TBT to that time when I listened to @staceyabrams explain why our identity matters and the importance of who you are and what you represent; is so important because you represent not just yourself but your community, your heritage, those who came before you and those that will come after you. I love who she is as a person. #genuine #spelmanalumnae #staceyabrams #identitymatters #spelman #youhavemyvote #justsayin https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv1cW6QBtC5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g0u55wqhybvg

That's one of the first things dictators tend to do, remove the books that show different viewpoints and worldviews. Identity is usually one of those things, whether it's political, sexual, or religious. When people say person with autism, it's starting that same kind of divorce in ideas. ‍ Image description: Black and white brick wall with green writing reading "Language Matters: If you don't have the language to describe something in your thoughts, how are you supposed to comprehend who you are? #IdentityFirst #HandsOffMyIdentity" - - - #autism #autismperspective #autism #autismeducation #asd #actuallyautistic #autistic #inclusion #differentnotless #autismadvocate #spectrum #autismspectrum #autisticadult #instautism #instaasd #livinglife #livingautism #autismadvocacy #language #identity #identitymatters #identityfirst #languagematters

Who am I? By Nupur Shah

Who am I? I am a human, A mammal But most importantly… who am I? My family may be Indian, but am I Indian too? I was born HERE… in the United States. In one of these states, specifically… NEW JERSEY. But does that make me American? Who am I? Am I American… or am I Indian? Why can’t I just be both? Or am I just simply… American Indian Who am I?
