“There was a boom in made-for-housewife jobs, all with the label ajumma, or middle-aged married woman: insurance ajumma, milk and Yakult ajumma, cosmetics ajumma and so on.”

“Why should the Prophet Muhammad get a whole visit from an archangel? Why should Saul get to see the literal light of heaven on the road to Damascus?

And what sense did it make to punish the rest of humanity who had never been privy to such explicit revelation?”
― Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!
