Hey everybody. I'm Amadali Akbar, and this is See Something, Say Something, the BuzzFeed podcast where we drink Jai tell stories and talk about being Muslim in America.

It's Wednesday morning, and we all woke up to the news that Donald Trump has been elected president.

If you see something, you better, you better say something.

Nothing at all, nothing at all.

We have two guests in the studio with us right now.

We have another one who is covering Hillary, and she will be coming in right in the middle.

And we're going to talk about the election and how it feels.

But also I want to talk to my guests about their usage of the internet, Twitter, Tumblr,

Facebook.

They've done a really amazing job holding up a light to complicate the way Muslims are portrayed

within the community and to non-Muslims. So first we have Donna Austin. She's a writer,

speaker, and PhD candidate at Rutgers in anthropology. Her dissertation is on black Muslim

activist in the era of Black Lives Matter, and she's the creator of the Black Muslim Ramadan hashtag, which we'll be talking about later. Hey, Donna, how are you doing? I'm fine, Ahmed. How are you? Al-Ahm. Good to hear you. Al-Aqa. Al-Ahm Salam. And then we have Hin Maki. She's a writer, interfaith activist, and founder at Side Entrance, which is a blog on Tumblr that highlights the poor access or maintenance and also successes of women's sections at mosques, which we'll also hopefully get to. Hey, Hind. Hey, good morning. Saan al-a-a-Qa-Qa-Qa-Qa-Qa-Qa-Qa. Andh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h us hopefully. So usually at the beginning of every episode we ask our guests what we're

thinking about, but considering such a huge moment just happened with the election, we obviously

have to talk about it. So I think we should just have like a sort of group discussion. I wanted

to hear what was your experience, Hind and Donna, of watching the coverage last night.

Why don't we start with you, Donna?

Yeah, so I was actually trying to get some work done in the midst of all of that.

So I was kind of writing and watching on my laptop as the result started to unfold, you know, initially not

really panicking because, of course, there's a lot of country left, you know, but as a night

we're on, I mean, it just became more and more unlikely that Trump would lose. And my emotional

state just transformed, you know. I mean, it's hard to kind of describe.
