It is getting worse or Tumblr has gathering of particularly ill tempered type… it is really appalling that people who made it into college/university, with bi-cultural (or more) background - and now almost finishing their degree - only blog in this kind of way and manner - every single damn day. Just foul mouthed or frustrated, or insecure, vengeance. Looks drowning and also pulling others...

What’s going on? Can someone confirm anything?
mariumarrr:
If you didn’t know Ghalib, still please please pray for him. And look at this as a wake up call. Nothing is promised, especially not tomorrow. If you want to change yourself, change today. Because all you really have is today.
Please recite a Fatiha for Ghalib
remorsecode:
He was clearly a really amazing humanitarian who cared for his homeland and tried his best to help his people. Alhamdullah he is somewhere far greater than us right now for his efforts, insha’Allah.

I really want to go to this. Curious as to what it’ll be like to be there
Curious about what?

This is not good news.
Well.

Resisting the urge to just delete my entire blog and disappear forever.
It’s a really low-grade situation that -
people much older and educated (schooled years wise) than you - many of them do not know how to talk/converse sensibly here at all.
Older and agressive. They are ready with

GROSS: So one of the things that kind of amazed me about the book, you're told after 11 days that you're free to go, and on your way out you hug some of the guards. Why did you want to hug them?
GHONIM: I don't know. It was a very emotional human being feeling. I mean people would argue this is probably Stockholm syndrome but, I don't know. I just felt, from even before the whole revolution, I always thought that those are not my enemies. I always thought that these are tools, those are victims just as much as I am. And I mentioned the story of the guy who told me that pray for me that I find another job and get out of this place. And I, to a large extent, I felt that he is imprisoned just like how I am in - was in prison - how I was imprisoned. I just think that, you know, those are victims and it's about time that we change the whole system so such people would find a, you know, a better job, would find a, you know, would find a new meaning to human rights and they do not violate it.
