Friends, as we head into , please take special care to CW your posts about . Your observant Muslim community-mates will be fasting between sunrise and sunset, and using a CW will make life a little easier for them.

An addendum: I know that Ramadan is about the self and that what you eat has no bearing on your Muslim community-mates' religious practice.

But I also know that fasting is HARD, and I want to take all the steps I can to make it just that little bit easier.

@noelle yeah especially if you live in a warmer climate, the no drinking water part is very difficult

@noelle it's like a friend going on a diet, you don't have to join in but it's a dick move to yell "I CAN EAT CHEESEBURGERS NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH" every five minutes

@noelle add a tea spoon of salt to a glass of water you drink, when you’re sodium levels drop particularly when you’re fasting it can give you the gnarliest headaches

@noelle
The fact that this is the first post I've seen in years advocating respect for Muslims shows me how isolating was the social bubble I was in.

Thanks for the reminder.

@noelle i thought the entire point was to be tempted :thinking:

@noelle

Well I don't speak much about food on the Internet (not as a theme in itself, at time I use some food related metaphor for something else, like spaghetti code, onion routing or the like...)

But as a #Christian myself, I will try to be respectful of the religious practices of my #Muslim #friends.
