And a wonderful thread:

Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas.

I am approaching this with anthropological precision.

Here are a few observations. pic.twitter.com/1WARv5nax4

I loved the Mohammad Hussain thread. Now I want an everything bagel ornament.

Actually, an everything bagel sounds good about now.

Wonderful, isn't it? It cheered me so much! And yeah, I wouldn't say no. Mmm, bagels.

I saw Eddie live in the Olympia Theatre in Oct/Nov 2019 (ah, the Before Times, when I occasionally Went Out To THings) and she was telling the audience that she's more comfortable with she/her pronouns. That was the same week I saw Hannah Gadsby live. My little queer heart nearly exploded with rainbows. I'm so happy for Eddie and I hope that everyone respects her pronouns, it's been such a long journey for her.

Yeah, I vaguely recall those times. [Insert Before The Event jokes]

I'm really happy for Eddie, and I do hope that everyone respects her pronouns, as she truly deserves it.

It's always great to gets an outsider's perspective. :)
