#tunatartare chaat, cardamom honey butter (that I could lick off of a person) and roasted wahoo w Kerala coconut sauce were unf—-ingbelievable. Ate my weight for sure.

Hair and makeup: @weddinghairbyliz

This hit me in the gut. I really had to think... I’ll be sure to tell Baby G how obsessed I am with my #pantsaree later tonight when I’m in it. Does that count?

What we say about ourselves in front of our children matters. How we model care for ourselves matters too. They notice.

Dad just asked me to unpack and organize his records ... in my parents’ new #retirementhome - which makes me nostalgic since we used to listen to these #vinyl often in the ‘80 and maybe early ‘90s (?) but then for many reasons... life...technology... CDs...we stopped.
*
*
I think this is why I would much rather listen to #hemantkumar #ravishankar #nusratfatehalikhan #latamangeshkar #mohammadrafi #kishorekumar #ustadaliakbarkhan and pretty much any #qawwali then a lot of the new stuff that comes out of #bollywood ... cause I caught that #immigrantmusic nostalgia bug... which make me feel included in my dad’s nostalgia (and Maybe gives me an insight into that world)?
*
*
And yes - that last record is #kennyrogers - it’s the reason why I have so many of his hit songs memorized. My dad connected to and loved country music when he immigrated from India... 🤷🏽‍♀️When I was 5 I knew all the words “you’ve got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away... hahah makes me laugh.

And apparently this is a thing... that interesting and unexplored phenomenon of #southasianimmigrants who love #countrymusic

Yummm. I just ate 3 rounds (read: full plates) of #mamashomecooking (props to Naz for the veg dishes)- #alugosht #chickentarkari #panipuri (devoured at this point)... At mom and dad’s new apt in #Durham - they’re retiring down the street from @nazema.siddiqui home 😲 👏🏽

sounds so simple, but its having to undo years and years of expectations of others. and a lot of the time its so engrained in us, we think they're our own goals/expectations. kinda a mindfuck, but a liberating one, finally realized that me loving me is wayyyyy more important than someone else loving the version of me they want me to be. @socialtwerkers #SocialTwerkers #SelfCareSunday #SundayFunday #HappySundayYall #FoodForThought #GrowThroughWhatYouGoThrough #TrustTheProcess #DoYouBoo #DoYouForYou •

it is cute to say that Donald Trump is our greatest threat. but that doesn’t make it true. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
as we progress in this election, let’s be clear: the systems and structures that created and enabled Donald Trump are the thing we must defeat. this election is just a step in that process-but any candidate who only treats the symptoms and not the disease should not be our candidate. period. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
is #Trump an absolute, real life threat right now, today, for people all over the world? ABSOLUTELY. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
but if we do not remain focused on the systemic pathologies that made it possible for him to exist, another #DonaldTrump will emerge. and another. and another. and all the mini Donald Trumps that run states and cities and towns and companies will continue to run rampant. that ain’t freedom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
i get it. i get that we desire a single nemesis. that we want a clear, discernible villain to rage against. that we want to be the superheroes of our own story and defeat the enemy in 90 minutes or less. but that’s the movies. this is real life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
and here, in the real world, we have to be disciplined enough to know that our challenges are more complex, and our solutions will require more vision, more discipline, more boldness, more courage, more nuance. we can and will be the heroes of our own story-as long as we stay real about what that takes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
yeah. DJT is a threat. but he’s the symptom. I want to kill the disease.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
