Just Went On Google To Read The Lyrics And I Want To Throw Up Now.

Kinda sad that the point of life is to constantly make yourself better and make the right choices. What do you mean that I have to be productive, I have to heal everything that went wrong in the first twenty years of my life, I have to get a job . I would just like to sit beside a river and read a good with coffee and cake. I would just like to rest. And walk across a field and watch the sunset and go on coffee dates with my bestie. And not think about capitalism and how it's killing the planet, the billionairs taking 13 minutes flights playing a role in burning my country (it was 50°C here last week) what is happening to marginalized communities in my country, generational trauma and corrupt systems and sinking economies.

Kashaf is for the eldest daughters of Desi households.

Don’t fucking look away from Rafah, don’t look away, if you are willfully looking away then you should be ashamed of yourself.

i am sorry i will not coddle a 34 year old billionaire global popstar for being silent about genocide even after immense pressure from her own fans. that hill is not the one i will ever want to die on.

Being fighters against oppressive systems is cool until it's a white blond billionaire who doesn't utter a word about the genocide happening in maybe the recent longest geo-religious-political conflict ever that her country (she proudly represents) funding it. Oh and we might hurt her feelings for that because she just went through a breakup with a racist. Oh and she doesn't need to speak up about anything it's not her job, but commenting on a tiktok to disprove pregnancy rumors is so feminist and really shows how people need to stop commenting on women's bodies!
