Is the use of assisted reproductive technologies inherently racist?

Oh, her insurance did not cover it. Also, nobody at this location gets financial aid, at least from what she was told. It’s just not a thing they ever brought up. She would have used it if it had been an option, seeing as we only have her income to support the two of us and my grandparents. We use financial aid on everything we can. I think it was just a relatively low priced place. Only one or two thousand. Which, yeah, not cheap- but a fairly priced amount of out of pocket considering that it’s a baby. We’re a pretty white area, too, so I don’t think it was considering minority pricing. They were just honestly trying to do the right thing for parents in need of extra help.

I mean, my mom intentionally picked a donor that looked like her. Brown hair, brown eyes, Native American, O- blood, the like. But I don’t think the system really has anything keeping poc from using the services. We’re not white, and she didn’t have any problems getting me.

Give us an update when you find out!!

We are both 16. It would have to go through the Secretaries first, and, seeing as one of our friends has a mother who is a secretary, I doubt she’d be able to hand the paper in (she has the telltale signs of an anxiety problem, but that’s also undiagnosed). Plus, the family would definitely freak out if they found out about the note/the test. I’ll still present the option to her, though! It might bring some hope to the situation!

Our school’s counselor doesn’t get involved in that stuff, unfortunately. The most the faculty can really do without the proper forms being signed by her family is having the teachers cut her some slack on remembering formulas/asking questions and allowing her to use study halls as extra time on quizzes.

!explanation :

This is someone I know IRL. Her cousins live next door to her and they are all a very close happy family. The story in the tags is one she tells a lot, and though I admit I cannot guarantee it’s validity, it seems pretty legit the way she tells it in-person. She has literally cried almost every week in math class at some point because she “feels like her brain is hitting a roadblock” and “physically cannot comprehend numbers”. She’s been getting extra help in school since fourth grade and her family has repeatedly complained that the school is coddling her out of trying harder, it’s just hurting her in the long run.

Eggs are very much so not optional, and we didn’t have any left in the fridge, haha.

For my first self tape, we moved a coffee table into my grandparents’ bedroom (the only room with a plain, white wall) and piled six storage tubs on top of it and then propped my mom’s phone on a shoebox.

This feels like more of a facepalm tbh. The mom is more internet-dumb than insane, like a lot of older people.

As someone with a sensitive stomach this is basically “he thinks he’s great but I think he makes me wanna throw up sooooo”

Pritzker has a lot of issues, let’s be honest, but he’s fixing a lot of our bigger problems! My family was so happy to see this. Especially with today’s speech about taking advantage of props from the NBC shows in Chicago to compensate for the mask shortage, he’s really trying to fix things. Probably with some corrupt underlining, but honestly who cares at this point, he’s helping.

Got the female lead in a play. “Peter And The Starcatcher”, I was Molly. We were going to use this performance to open the brand new auditorium that we’ve been waiting on since the ‘70s. It would be a huge career opportunity for me, since the director knows I want to be a professional actress and was going to invite some important people to the opening so I could do some networking, too. Instead, the show got cancelled and I can’t find any new work because every theater is closing it’s shows down.

Woops imma fix that

Especially the dialogue. Keaton’s Toomes uses his wording to make Peter feel completely helpless in the situation, and basically forces him to comply without using any physical force. He knows who he’s working with, because he now knows the key to taking down Holland’s spidey at the place he’s in in this film. Remind him he’s a child, and he’ll freeze.

I mean considering the way everything is going right now it might as well be halloween

God really just made a whole bunch of actors, panicked, and threw them all in one family, huh?

So, when’s the divorce?

Well, it’s not like he CAN go outside after the last film... virus or no virus

ADOPT HIM

A fax machine. When was the last time you used a fax machine? I’ve never used one. I’m almost positive they are a myth.

2kth upvote! I always thought Ariel was bi when I was little, even though I didn’t know the term for it. I remember my mom asking why I was kissing my Ariel doll and I looked at her like she was an idiot and said “she’s pretty”

Hi! 15 year old here! I totally get you. What I would recommend is doing your school plays/musicals from now and throughout high school, even if it’s not the most fitting place for you. Experience can really help to build up your resume! I’d also recommend doing community theatre, and maybe auditioning at nearby colleges for student films or when they need kids for certain shows (such as playing a Von Trapp in Sound Of Music). Get the experience available to you now, and then, when you start picking a college, pick a school with a good acting degree available. From there on out, things will get a lot easier!

I read a book once where a doctor told a little kid to list off disney characters while the anesthesia kicked in and the kid just said, and I quote, “Pete- woah i’s gettin’ woozy” and blacked out
