The moon has been sighted, and Ramadan officially declared.

Joyous Ramadan Mubarak to my faithful cousins. May your fast remind us all of our abundance.

To my non-Muslim friends, please remember that during #Ramadan, most of the faith will be fasting during daylight hours. Please do not press food and drink upon people unless they request it.

"It's just coffee, it doesn't count..." It totally counts. It really does. If someone tells you they are fasting, for whatever reason, respect their autonomy. You don't need to know why, you don't need to second guess their decision based on your visual determination of their health, you don't need to offer an opinion. Just say "Cool" and move along.
