It’s also pancake day

Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras.

This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.

Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg @theradr.bsky.social · 1d

Ramadan Mubarak!

Sundown tonight marks the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, a time of fasting, prayer, and reflection.

I wish everyone observing Ramadan a blessed and peaceful month. Ramadan Mubarak.

Statement by Prime Minister Carney on Ramadan

As this sacred period begins, far too many Muslims in Canada are continuing to face troubling acts of Islamophobia. Combatting hate is a top priority for this government, and Islamophobia has no place...

Easily the best Ramadan meme 🤣

Rami Ismail (رامي) @ramiismail.com · 22h

Many often ask whether Ramadan is difficult, & while it can be, it is by far my favorite time of year. You don't have to feel bad for people fasting. In many ways, Ramadan is a celebration of faith, culture, & community. Plus, Muslim TikTok gets hilarious:
