Homework Links for Episode #58

We had a lovely time getting ready for Halloween with a spooky wooky guest and we have a special announcement in this episode!

• Our guest for this episode is the writer, thought leader and creative Ayesha Siddiqi.

• The Pushing Hoops With Sticks episode with Ayesha interviewing Aamer Rahman is the life changing episode that made us fall for Ayesha.

• Get some gear from Cult Days x Ayesha Siddiqi collaboration over at The Ones We Love.

• Be sure to read the book that inspired Ayesha’s collab

• The kimono inspired hijab for the Muslim tourists coming through are pretty beautiful. Is this appropriation? Nah.

• Zahra is super into Persian Trap music, thanks to her cousin.

• A muslim girl was disqualified from a race because of her Nike brand sports hijab.

• “Unveiling Your Books’ Boring Title and Covers” twitter thread by @MsEntropy is very re-veil-ing.

• Taz is inspired by two artists this month whose work she got to see - the photographer Hassan Hajjaj and Iranian artist Shirin Neshat.

• Indonesia’s Aries Susanti Rahayu breaks women’s speed climbing world record, finishing the 15-meter course in 6.995 seconds.

We're on the front lines...

Other than Buzzfeed giving us another shoutout, we’ve been busy with our own personal projects. Taz got to sit down with a few other Californians to talk about her post-election thoughts, and Zahra went on NPR for an essay on prayer. Taz, too, went on another podcast: Sporkful, where she discussed love and pork. She's also performed at an event called Harness.

Besides Eid, there’s one holiday that Taz can’t get enough of… Valentine’s Day. If you’re into really kinky things like “heavy vetting” and using “unpresidented” as your safe word, then step right up to Taz’s Etsy shop. She almost always sells out.

Zahra also had her own sort of holiday: six performances of “On Behalf of All Muslims,” her new comedy special at the Islamic Cultural Center of Northern California. The San Francisco Chronicle even mentioned her special! Every night was sold out. Looks like we might have to do a live performance of #GoodMuslimBadMuslim too...

Zahra Gets Heaven Points on Snap Judgement

On this week's Snap Judgement, you can hear our very own Zahra talking about heaven points, eating pork, wearing hijab and religious farts! She took the stage at the Snap Judgement LIVE Oakland show earlier this year. Take a listen! And for those of you coming to our website for through listening to Snap Judgement - thanks for stopping by! And be sure to subscribe to the #GoodMuslimBadMuslim Podcast!
