Okay. Going to pray Isha'. Going to make dua. Going to lock the doors. Going to trust in Allah. "And they planned, but Allah planned. And Allah is the best of planners." (3:54)

Just in case y'all forgot there's racism at home, too: Spouse went to look at a prospective place today. Things all good until, "සිංහල ද?" Spouse: "මම සිංහල, wife මුස්ලිම්, අනිත් දෙන්නගේ එක්කෙනෙක් මුස්ලිම්, අනිකා සිංහල." Owner: *tsks, makes face* Spouse: "... හරි එහෙනම් කමක් නෑ."

Being Sri Lankan is loving this gorgeous island and its generous people with all your heart while simultaneously despising this dysfunctional nation-state and its despicable governing class and the degeneracy they breed in culture and society from the very depth of your soul.

Funny story that should tell you all you need to know about AOD management and admin: the building's original name as planned was the Colombo Learning and Innovation Tower. They only changed it after a bunch of people pointed out the unfortunate resulting acronym.

Ma'am, you are aware that since beef imports are okayed, more cattle elsewhere in the world will die, right? And that a large chunk of Sri Lankan cattle farmers and meat industry workers will be out of work, right? Please think before you tweet.

No, it literally means "womanish man" and is a slur that has been used to target gay men and trans people. It is anti-woman and anti-gay. Ask any gay or trans person in Sri Lanka how many times they've had it thrown at them like a stone.
