people like to fearmonger about deaf children who never get cochlear implants/get them late never learning to speak and it's literally not a concern I have. I am largely voice off in public and it's fine. I'm fine. Deaf people have been living without speech since time immemorial we are fine.

Addittional notes:
"Raza" is a term that was coined by the chicano movement, though it literally means "race" it is used more like you would say "Family" in this case the mexican-american "Family" or "Community".
"Pueblo", although it literally means town, it is used more like one would say "Community" or "People". It is used mostly in working-class movements, or movements that fight for the right autonomy of communities.
If you are in méxico follow @/mx.palestina to know when the next march will be. Si estás en méxico sigue a la cuenta @/mx.palestine para saber cuando será la próxima marcha.

Two songs by Sheikh Imam of Cairo
NIXON BABA and EL-FOUL W'IL LAHMA
“Nixon baba” – Arabic text
.
نيكسون
شرفت يا نيكسون بابا يابتاع الوو ترجت
عملولك قيمة وسيما سلاطين الفول والزيت
فرشولك أوسع سكة من راس التين على مكة
وهناك تنفذ على عكا ويقولوا عليك حجيت
“ؤاهو مولد ساير داير شيلاه يا صحاب الييت”
جواسيسك يوم تشريفك عملولك دقة وزار
تتقصع فيه العايق’ والساكت والمنشار
والشيخ شمهورش راكب ع الشعب وهات يامواكب
وبواقي الزفة عناكب ساحبين من تحت الحيط
“ واهو مولد ساير داير شيلاه يا صحاب البيت”
خد مني كلام يبقى لك ولو انك مش ح تعيش
لاح اقول اهلا ولا سهلا ولاتيجي ولا ماتجيش
بيقولوا اللحم المصري مطرح مابيسري بيهري
وده من تأثيرالكشري والفول والسوسي ابو زيت
“ واهو مولد ساير داير شيلاه يا صحاب البيت
“NIXON BABA”
by Ahmad Fuad Negm, sung by Sheikh Imam [May 1974]
[Translation]
You arrived, Papa Nixon, the wideboy of Watergate,
And they loaded you with many honours, those sultans of beans and oil,
And they opened for you a wide road
From Ras at-Tin [1] to Mecca,
So that from there you could head off to Akko
And so that people could say: “He has done the pilgrimage”.
It was a real travelling circus,
Your blessing, family of the Prophet.
The day of your arrival your agents had prepared for you
A nice ceremony of exorcism,
Which had all the whores fluttering about,
And the pederasts and the hypocrites,
And Sheikh Shamhouresh [2] in person
Possessed the priestess; there were loads of processions
Which were followed by a procession of spiders,
All ranked in order of importance,
Of course.
The people who invited you told you
“Come and eat some sweets and pastries”,
And since you are a bit naïve,
You thought we were an easy prey.
You were sinking,[3] they wanted to give you support,
You undesirable partner.
I spit in your face,
In the guise of a blessing.
Listen to this, and remember it,
Even though you’re not going to be around for long:
I won’t say either welcome, or not welcome,
I won’t tell you “Come” or “Go away”,
But they do say that Egyptian flesh
is corrosive for whatever it touches,
fed as it is on koshari,[4]
Beans with oil and abu zeit.
It was a real travelling circus,
Your blessing, family of the Prophet.
—————————————-————————————
[1] Former royal palace in Alexandria, then residence of the President.
[2] Reference to an exorcism ceremony.
[3] Reference to the Watergate scandal.
[4] Characteristic food of poorer people.

I think the rise of tradwives and that sort of thing is very alarming and it's worthwhile to counter their ideology, but you cannot let the conversation about housewives and all the unpaid care labor done primarily by women be about this very specific niche of women who fell into an internet rabbit hole of toxic ideology
The vast majority women around the world who dedicate themselves exclusively to uncompensated care labor in the home do that because of real material conditions in their lives

Latest reblog reminds me of how much it pisses me the fuck off how every queer person alive has to adapt to the usamerican style of queerness lest we get shunned by the community for being too different. I bring this up a lot but bro that time I got death threats for having ele/dele in my bio bc "by using neopronouns I was making a mockery of REAL trans people" when those are literally just my pronouns in my native language, and when I said that I got hit w the "well you're on the internet so speak english" I HATE GRINGOS I HATE GRINGOS I HATE GRINGOS

Woo, I'm back! Not promising to create OC too regularly for now but I'm alive and lurking around here. I made a side blog @spoonshadowsymphony for other than Hindi stuff that's occupying my mind atm.
So तालाब comes from Persian and तलब comes from Arabic and both are seen in Urdu poetry and lyrics. There's a Sanskrit originating synonym for pond, पोखर (masculine).
There are many synonyms for desire, yearning and urge used in Hindi, such as कामना, इच्छा, अभिलाषा or चाह which are all feminine nouns for a desire or wish and अरमान (masculine) and तमन्ना (feminine) which add a sense of longing in the meaning.
