EID MUBARAK. we did it Ummah pogchamps, a whole month of fasting down once again. I hope it was easy for you

Eid al-Fitr is one of the major holidays in Islam, and marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, where Muslims the world over fast from sunrise to sunset in order to build humility, empathy, and faith with those around them and the world at large who suffer from going without all year round. it is a day of prayers, community, and a lot of really great sweets.

Eid al-Fitr is marked by the sighting of the new moon, as Islam follows a lunar calendar. because of this Eid al-Fitr not only changes dates through the Gregorian year but also can be different between different countries where some sight the moon, and others do not.

      it's one of those things where on some level I can get the pain of a lot of men and the social conditioning to feel this way. but it's like, as much as I can feel that empathy, I'm still gonna put a boot up your ass when you decide all it takes is 1 small thing and you're a nazi now because a woman online said some very tame feminist ideas you took as a personal attack

                this post was a long list of accusations of being various different types of fascist, and also being anti spongebob. he also did the navy seal copypasta but as an ss officer instead of a navy seal, and some pretty confusing ascii art.
