After having me come in twice at their own mistake of having the wrong part and sending me home, and waiting since January without good contact from them, I am losing trust in their ability to repair my vehicle

@NissanUSA I’ve been having issues getting an essential part for my Pathfinder repaired & replaced at a Nissan dealership. Is there a way to find out what is going on beyond my local dealership?

@Delta I have now officially been on hold for more than an hour trying to get in touch with corporate customer service. This is in follow up to an email sent to customer care almost a month ago now… is there no more efficient way to get in touch?

— that these protests are a symbol of an act of resisting oppression. This is not a battle of religion. It is one of human dignity.

My heart breaks. For the people of Iran who protest for their rights. For the women in Afghanistan who yearn for their education. For my fellow American women who desperately seek their rights to healthcare. And for those who have not properly understood the larger matter at hand

@gdanielagalarza I think of traditional Afghan “turshee”, it’s that perfect spicy pickled mix of fresh carrots, bell peppers, garlic, cauliflower, aubergine, chili peppers, in turmeric with fenugreek seeds and dried mint

if you had a *house pickle* what would it be? i think mine would be saffron pickled shallots or fennel...

presenting and sharing details from it, about the community, and my findings at UC Riverside’s Afghanistan Symposium this week. You can tune in virtually on Thursday, but I also highly recommend checking out the rest of what you can catch on the other days and sessions as well

A lot of folks have asked me about my dissertation— what is it on, what did I find, what was I looking for when studying the Afghan diaspora. It was an immense undertaking and the most in depth ethnographic study we have of the Afghan American community. I’m honored to be

This completely overlooks the many cultural cuisines that have a unique history in the US bc of DC— Afghan restaurants have been a staple of the DC food culture & a long-standing history that should be applauded. Sweeping generalizations like this miss out on all those cuisines
