"abaya" is also used for long dresses that tend to be more formal, often black but not always. "thobe" is used sometimes, too, but in my community that word refers to an entirely different dress -- long piece of fabric that is wrapped similar to a sari (but longer). in our dialect the "th" becomes "t" so we say "tobe" instead of "thobe" 🥰 📀 i smell like a girl + burnt mugwort. 📀 hi @tabitha thanks for the tips! loungewear for me is less literal & concrete. my loungewear = long dresses that my mom gets me from the middle east. some of them aren't meant to be loungewear at all, haha. that said i had trouble assigning a word to aquarius, because labels tend not to stick, for good reason (aquarius moon here). 📀 got my period yesterday! 📀 back in philly, feeling cozy. 📀 more people need to watch coach carter, so much symbolism! 📀 massage o'clock 📀 my headaches remind me to think of the people, places, things that prompt an unraveling. i am softer when i direct my focus back to them, because they sit next to me indefinitely rather than above or below. growing up, detangling my hair was an ongoing chore and negotiation of my pain and joy, but nowadays are different. the tangles appear to have been absorbed into and beyond my scalp. i love how it feels to taste liberation, if only for x hours. 📀
