I don’t think I could pull this off properly with my hijab (kind of automatically gives me away), but just putting this out there for any Muslim men or non-hijabi Muslim women who might find this interesting 😏

Oh look, they took CapCut too.

(yes I know CapCut is owned by the same company as TikTok)
Message reads: “Sorry, CapCut isn't available right now. A law banning CapCut has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use CapCut for now. Rest assured, we're working to restore our service in the U.S. Please stay tuned!”

They didn’t even give us until midnight - I took this screenshot at 8:30pm PT.

We all thought the app would just slowly stop working as we were no longer able to access updates from the App Store, I don’t know if this way is more or less cruel.
Picture shows a blacked out TikTok For You page, with a pop up message that reads: “Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now. A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the United States. Unfortunately, that means you can't use Tiklok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!”

If you ever feel the urge to compliment a Muslim woman’s scarf but are worried you might offend us, you won’t, & please do! Despite the rumors to the contrary we are human beings too & love sincere compliments just like you do ☺️💜

All workers deserve respect. If you would not yell at or abuse your co-workers at your white collar desk job, do not yell at or abuse retail, restaurant, call center, or other customer service workers.
All workers deserve respect. If you would not yell at or abuse your co-workers at your white collar desk job, do not yell at or abuse retail, restaurant, call center, or other customer service workers. This behavior is never acceptable and it is especially prevalent around the winter holiday season. Two things can be true at once: you can be legitimately frustrated by your customer experience or feel overwhelmed by the things going on around you - AND - you can still treat all people with the respect and dignity they deserve. If there is ever a time where I start to lose control of my emotions during an interaction with a customer service employee, I will say something to the effect of: "I'm sorry if I am making you uncomfortable with my reaction, I promise it's not directed at you but at the situation. I know that you're just doing your job and what's happening is not your fault. Thank you for your help and your patience through this situation." Being angry, or frustrated, or stressed is all part of being human, but that does not excuse ill behavior. No one is superior to another person based on the perceived reputation of the labor they each do to support themselves and their families. If the fast food workers, the waiters/waitresses, call center reps, cashiers, and so many other kinds of working people who society demeans were so undeserving, you wouldn't rely on their labor for the necessities and conveniences that you take for granted.

Friendly yearly reminder to not gift alcohol as a general holiday present (i.e. to your staff, to neighbors you don’t know well, to acquaintances, etc). There are so many reasons why someone may choose not to drink, a few of which can include: 👉 Religious reasons 👉 Pregnancy 👉 They take a prescription medication that conflicts with alcohol 👉 They have a personal or family history of alcoholism 👉 They have lost someone to drunk driving & have sworn off alcohol as a result 👉 Their mental health tanks whenever they drink, & we know this time of year can already be incredibly difficult as it is So unless you are getting a gift for a specific person that you know for a fact would welcome it, make a more inclusive, respectful choice for your holiday presents.
