But I, I am compassionate and I am cruel.
Be on your guard!
Do not hate my obedience
and do not love my self-control.
In my weakness, do not forsake me,
and do not be afraid of my power.
For why do you despise my fear
and curse my pride?
But I am she who exists in all fears
and strength in trembling.
I am she who is weak,
and I am well in a pleasant place.
I am senseless and I am wise.
Why have you hated me in your counsels?
For I shall be silent among those who are silent,
and I shall appear and speak,
Muslim women who choose to wear the Hijab but are also Athletes of the fiercest kind.
Hijab is not a disability.
That moment when we western feminists need to check ourselves, and also realize that no one ever tried to ban Christian Nuns, Sisters, Holy Women etc… from wearing their head scarves, veils, and habits!
what a great photo set.

Having one of those days where I feel like I’m nobody.
Without the peace of mind to see the beauty in being lost in infinity.
I got this matching tattoo with my mother, step mother, step brother and sister. We all got it on our ring fingers. It is the equality symbol, standing for marriage equality. We got it at Flatiron Tattoo in Boulder, CO.
Beautiful.
Ready for summer nights and ocean waves

I am the honored one and the scorned one.
I am the whore and the holy one.
I am the wife and the virgin.
I am the mother and the daughter.
I am the members of my mother.
I am the barren one
and many are her sons.
…
I am the silence that is incomprehensible
and the idea whose remembrance is frequent.
I am the voice whose sound is manifold
and the word whose appearance is multiple.
I am the utterance of my name." - “The Thunder, Perfect Mind” - a prayer from the Gnostic Gospels found at Nag Hammadi

Live Wind Map Shows Flow Patterns
I get kind of giddy whenever I see a tweet from Martin Wattenberg and Fernanda Viegas. They rarely tweet, but when they do it’s usually because they’ve released a new project and they always announce it simultaneously. Their latest piece shows live wind patterns, based on data from the National Digital Forecast Database. It’s beautiful to look at.
Incredible.

Hi Friends- My brother made a video for the Mars Volta’s Fan Video Contest. I would really appreciate it if you “liked it” on YouTube. It’s pretty goofy, but he and his friends put a lot of time into it. The Mars Volta is his favorite band and it would mean a lot to us if you “liked it”. It’s an interesting song, anyhow, so check it out!
