  You should know the origin, and surprise - it’s Latin!

  Per wikipedia: “The actual origin is unknown, but one of the first appearances of the word was in a second-century work by Roman physician Serenus Sammonicus… who in chapter 52 prescribed that malaria sufferers wear an amulet containing Abracadabra written in the form of a triangle.[12][13]

  The power of the amulet, he claimed, makes lethal diseases go away.”

  Thanks for sharing your story. I’ve heard of one child policy but never from a 2nd child’s perspective.

  Your story is a disturbing parallel to modern immigrant stories in the US, as well as others, im sure.

  Healthcare is just one step above having a safe place to be in terms of human need, but places/governments that cant meet childrens basic needs in modern society are worth shaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stanford Professor: The idea that Stanford University owes its graduate students a "living wage" is preposterous⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the issue with how this whole thing is framed.

  Of course the university doesn’t owe grad students anything besides an education.

  But, being a grad student need not involve any teaching or professor research support. That’s labor. It’s customary labor that may be exchanged for education, but it is indeed an exchange of value for labor and subject to everything that entails.

  Source: got a real grad degree without any of that BS just paid tuition (partially via my employers tuition reimbursement:)
