I have medium to high ish visual weight, small eyes, hollow and dark under eyes, and hyperpigmentation all around my eyes and eyelid (because I'm melenated)

Anyways, I've been struggling with this for a while now, Which is that i always looked WAY WORSE with a full beat and I didnt know whyyy.

Until recently I saw this makep tut of a girl with simillar features as mine, who talked about how your under eye concealer may be making your eyes look wayy smaller,

esp if they're already small. She said you need to be adding some depth to your undereyes with eyshadow and lower lash mascara, etc.

However I diddd try that, I natually have VERY long lower lashes, so i accentuared them with mascara, and wore smoked eyeshadow on my lower lash line, yet still my eyes looked sooo small.

The only time under eye concealer truly suits me is when i add VERY little, so the eyebags are still veryy much showing through.

But I do have heavyy eyebags, and want to cover them and look awake, without making my eyes look tiny, does anyone have any advice?

As a woman, especially one that grew up in an extremely patriarchal culture, I had to learn the hard way that people really HATE opinionated women.

Every woman I've talked to about this agrees. People expect you to be as agreable as possible. And when your not, you get a lot of hate. From men, and women with internalized misoginy.

People especially hate when your a woman with leftist beliefs that your vocal about. This I've also had to learn the hard way. I do repost a lot of stuff about politics online as I want to raise awarness. But in person I ONLY talk about it when the topic is bought up. I've constantly only been met with hostility because of this.

Because of this, I did try to water down my opinions. Don't mention them unless the topic is bought up, and communicate them better yk. Yet still I trigger so many people, especially "apoliticals" (closeted right wing).

Anyone else who can relate lol.

I highlyy highly reccomend EVERY single person in this sub to learn about sufism/tawassuf and purification of the nafs. The reason why mainstream islam presents wahabism/extremist patriarchal male worhsiping dogma fear based bs as the only version of islam is because saudi arabia since the 70s has spent BILLIONS on exporting wahabism all throughout the islamic world. I know this because sufism was VERY prevalent, and even the norm in some parts of my country begore the spread of wahabism. Theres nothing contradictory about being muslim and questioning the status quo, critically thinking, and not blindly dogmatically believing in the words of men like they're the words of God.

Usually when leftists talk about liberals, they mean people who have yet to be disusillusioned AT ALL by the status quo. But those aren't the ones that I'm suurounded by, in my circle. They call themselves progressive and are sper pro palestine, fricking love someone like Zohran Mamdani, super aware about systemic social justice issues, etc. Yk like repost stuff about humanitarian crises caused by imperialism like genocides in sudan and congo, yet somehow still side with their countries imperialism when its beneficial to them. They see Israel as not an expansion of western imperialism, but a special case yk? And they don't understand that their settler colonial country built on the genocide of the indigenous people, isn't much different that israel. They despise the idf, but support the terrorist army of their imperialist country. They want ICE to be abolished, but they think "not all cops are bad". Basically full of contradictions. These peple have countless critiques of capitalism, despise billionares, despise AI and climate change, and data centers. But if you ask them what is to be done to change the system, they either say "theres nothing we can do", or talk about electoralism and voting progressive social democrat, whos entire purpose is to preserve capitalism by giving the working class the spoils of imperialism. How can I propogate to someone like this. Usually they have a super doomer mindset, and get super uncomfortable when you tell them that they benifit off of imperialism.

Hii guys I'm a high school student and after this summer I'm going into my senior year. Last year, me and a friend of mine who's Palestinian wanted to create an extracurricular club at our school to raise political awarness, promote socialism, educate people, fundraise for gaza and other humanitarian causes, while also just building community, etc. The club idea got rejected by the admin (not surprised because they have in the past been anti palestinian)

But this year we'll try propose the idea again and i realllyyy hope it gets accepted. But the only thing is, I need Ideas for how I can educate people, while also just building community. Most highschoolers aren't willing to join a extracurricular that entails them just listening to educational powerpoints, and having political discussions. I want ideas for activities that'll require minimal funding and also help build community, educate people and raise class conciousness. If anyone has any Ideas it would be really helpful!

Genuinley i need some tips from those of yall who have firm iman, bcs i keep falling back into losing faith and going weeks without praying.

(This is the question for the progressive muslims/quran only muslims only, not those questioning or ex muslims)

Whats ur opinion on online western leftists/ radical feminists who have like super black and white thinking when it comes to faith/religion, and either see it as ingerently opressive, or a coping mechanism.

Do you think that islam is compatible with radical feminism which seeks to abolish patriarchy and abolish all gender constructs as a whole.

A while ago I got a post removed from r/Feminism because I said that western conversations about womens opression in Iran are used as us imperialist propoganda and used as a tool to manufacture consent and bomb Iran in the name of "liberating women". I also added that a lot of the conversation about muslim womens opression in south west asia/north africa dehumanizes both muslim women AND men. There is so many nuances to this topic, but its hard to think critically of course. Of course its easier to see everything as black and white orientalist, imperialist and colonialist prespective.

Bigotries, hatred against others eg. racism, opressing others, spreading ignorance, raping, not spreaking up against injustices/tyranny, refusing to spend in the cause of Allah, partaking in riba/interest, and exploiting others is haram, even if EVERYONES doing it.

Also, we must always strive to purify our heart from your ego, hatred, arrogance, and pride completely, through worship.

This is a question for the progressive believers, not ex muslims or non Muslims.

How do you not despair when seeing the state of our ummah today.

One one hand muslims are being opressed, genocided, targeted, and villanized all across the world, meanwhile their opression is overshadowed by the victim complex of their opressers. All while, the elite have poured billions into mass media to spread islamaphobic rgetoric propoganda.

On the other hand, theres muslims who constantly misconstrue and weaponize islam to opress women, minorities, control others, spread bigotry, push people away from islam, discrimination, etc. Leading to honour killings, sectarian violence, religious trauma, etc.

And in much of the muslim world the hyper conservative, patriarchal dogma based bs is seen as the only acceptable version of islam, where you cant even dare to challenge the status quo.

As a proud citezen, I think we can all agree that what makes floptropica so great is that our foremothers (whom we must remember and credit) fought tooth and nail against the dictatorship of Daboyzz post the imperial terroristic badussy wars that only benifitted daboyzz ruling class and their military industrial complex. Our foremothers led a revolution where they seized the means of production, replaced private ownership with collective ownership, redistribution of wealth, and establish a matriarichal system where everyones needs are met and everyone has true freedom and liberation. We must NEVER forget and always commemorate HERstory!!!!

I have a question for those on here who grew up in religious conservative households and had to unlearn all the patriarchal bs. I've had to unlearn a lot over the years and now I prefer to be spiritual and not religious. I do believe in God and I don't think I'll ever not believe in God, but I wanna ask yall how do you personally connect with God especially if you've faced religious trauma in the past around version of religion that degrades and objectifies women.
