A Ramadan soon ends—shout out to front line Muslim workers on their feet all day while fasting for 15 hours.

I’ve been there. The long retail hours. The double shifts as a waiter that pays $2.13/hr. The dry lips & hoarse throat. The thirst. The work so incessant you realize the time to break fast was over an hour ago and you completely forgot to eat. And all the worse if you work outdoors. Exhausting is an understatement.

Thank you. I know that doesn’t count for much. But we see you. Godspeed.

@QasimRashid when I see a hijabi mama in the grocery store with two kids in the cart and one in a sling and I know that she's fasting. I am so moved every time by that level of devout. I can't imagine.
