No But Im Not Even Close Im Literally Muslim But We Still Get That Stereotype..

I think as a community we should all stop the concept of aesthetic because its ruining our lives and im sick of having fun with someone and they go like 'let me just take a pic of this to post on my story'.. like.. okay? Also i went through so many 'aesthetics' and found out how limiting they are! Lemme just read this shakespeare teathrical piece while listening to slipknot and wearing my pink dress <3

HONESTLY i nearly never read poetry except for arabic poetry of the Jahiliya and Abbassid periods (it's amazing) because i found that english poetry is plain compared to it (i read some of Emily Dickinson's poetry) and even french poetry seemed better imo

My hot take is that i dont give a fuck about your poem about pomegranates and cannibalism as a metaphor for love

Don't stay silent when you see injustice !

by the way your voice always matters in the fight against injustice. every single time you speak out against an injustice it matters. it sheds light on it. it empowers others to speak up. it matters

Why spicy is not a taste

Tate buds are a special sense structures that can detect five categories of flavor: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami (savory). Spice is not detected by these receptors, and instead, is picked up by nociceptors (pain receptors). Our brain can interpret that pain as a taste: spicy. But, since it is not detected by true taste receptors, it is not counted as one of the five flavors. This is also why pain tolerance is related to spice tolerance. And, as a fun fact, this means that any nerve receptor on a mucosal surface can "taste" spicy (eye, nose, genital, and anal mucosa are all included here). Have fun with that last fact, lol.
