Toty is now six, still bringing warmth and love into our lives, but also so many laughs. I can’t even remember what made life worthwhile before she was born.
Last year my sister in law was pregnant and halfway through the third trimester the baby was diagnosed with holoprosencephaly, porencephaly, and a bunch of other words that are even scarier than they sound. We consulted about a dozen doctors, from everywhere.

@eyes_supreme And it seems line you’re speaking based on personal knowledge of her. I don’t know Hayat, this is the first time she’s popped on my TL. I think it’s pretty normal to be critical of such statements
@eyes_supreme privileged position to take. And saying that the majority of the proletariat are multilingual dismisses the subaltern, most of which speak 1 language (and regardless of that, inclusivity to all working class should be at the forefront)
@eyes_supreme That doesn’t change how much of an elitist take this is. Marxism as an ideology should be as widely encompassing as possible, the only requirements being class consciousness and solidarity. Alienating people based on a linguistic “requirement” is such an elitist and (1)
@strapincomrade Da ana elly words will never be enough! I am very lucky to have taught an amazing person like you, and I am extremely proud of how you’re starting your life and can’t wait to see you thriving 🍟♥️
