My wife ⁦@MaryKForrest⁩ wrote an essay about grieving our son Henry that is sensitive, bold and above all brave, writing about the hardest thing a parent can ever do. The Week I Spent With Our Son Henry Before He Died: Essay https://t.co/4ClgWzaSI5

@RichardEngel @MaryKForrest Yes. A million times, yes. Every second of the day, I am so grateful to have my son still here with us. He has Batten disease and with every loss/decline he still smiles. I love that smile so much. I am so very sorry for your loss. Time is precious.

Five years ago today. I helped Mila out of bed, slipped on her good-luck bunny socks and brought her into Boston Children’s Hospital to receive milasen for the very first time. This morning, I thought back through the years to that moment...

and critique them therefore are not in those spaces. Watch for this in “Indigenization” efforts, because it is rampant - the end goal is complete assimilation of Indigenous Peoples and loss of our Sovereignty. Allyship is learning and unlearning together, rebuilding together.

I stand with Indigenous women - real ones.
What is consistently noted in these major cases of Pretendians is how “White passing” these fraudsters are - because they are palatable to White institutions. Indigenous voices are consistently @ odds with power-hierarchical structures/2
