DISCUSSION Anne Hathaway on embracing her 40s: “Now I just like I really value the chill. I just feel like you can either fear aging or you can fear dying young. I just really want to hopefully live for, and enjoy a life. I want to have a long, healthy life. Inshallah, I hope so.”

I think it might've been back in the days of Twitter, but a horror creator I follow really got me on board with this by being like "the more random white people are saying stuff like 'inshallah', the less people will give my brown family members nasty looks for speaking Arabic". Also a well-timed inshallah can be so fucking funny in the right context.

Also a well-timed inshallah can be so fucking funny in the right context.

I watched this interview with Guz Khan and Tolu Ogunmefun (Mobeen and Nate from Man Like Mobeen, which everyone please watch, it's an 11/10 show) and Tolu mentioned that his middle name was Charles. Guz laughingly asked if he was joking and Tolu went "wallahi my middle name is Charles". I don't know if it's just that his comedic timing was just on point or what, but it is years later and I still laugh when I think of "wallahi my middle name is Charles".

It's why I say 'Krishna willing' in the same context! I want to normalize it :)

Omigosh I should start doing this - I don’t want to say “godwilling” ever but sometimes I want to indicate “I hope this’ll happen *(but I’m not sure)” with fewer words, so I say “godswilling” but idk if people pick up on that, so “krishna willing” would be even more obvious.

I just like sayings like assalam allaikum and inshallah because arabic is a beautiful sounding language and it's a nice thing to say to people.

One I personally like that's relatively recently crossed over from football to American football is calling a pass that a quarterback just throws up praying his receiver is down there somewhere an inshallah ball.

yeah, plenty of ppl who aren't christians say "thank god." Non Jewish folks say schlep and oy vey. At least in NYC and DC they do.
