    I asked an AI to generate an image of me being mauled by a bear, it’s shocking, try it yourself. I now think bears should be killed.

    Funny that christian nuns wear a head covering, and christian women wear veils at weddings. I can’t see these women crying murder about Jewish women covering their hair (I’m sure they would in a heartbeat).

    I often get jealous when i see women with a head covering, I wish I had that kind of privacy.

    An obligatory Fanon quote

    The hijab, especially the Algerian haik, appears first as a clear sign of belonging. Clothing is not presented as a small outward habit, but as one of the most visible ways a people shows its civilisation, customs, dignity, and inner order. In Algeria, the veil marked the Algerian woman and separated her from the foreigner. It placed her inside her own social universe, with its own modesty, family honour, and public codes. The veil therefore became a boundary. It told the coloniser that Algerian society had its own laws, its own gaze, and its own protected space. (A Dying Colonialism, 35–36; translator’s note on haik, 36.)
