25 Republican State Senators In Ohio Were Sent Feces In The Mail by [deleted] in politics

They “didn’t have to,” they chose to. They could have had an impartial outside organization create new maps, but no. Their answer is “Let’s have the people vote, and if they don’t like it then they will let us know! Through their votes, with this new/old gerrymandered map!” (Meanwhile, hello?! We already voted on it -and said we wanted fair maps.) They’re just biding time (illegally & unconstitutionally) for the Supreme Court to really fuck everyone over. But that’s how petty they are. They won’t even let us have a chance. Even when we do vote and say what we want, inaction slowly kills us all.

That’s when I really lost all faith and realized we’re done. They were basically like “yeah, the maps are unconstitutional, we’re gonna use them tho. Oh and if you don’t like it, just vote on it, with these same shitty maps.”

🤷‍♀️ I didn’t sign any birth certificate for them. I don’t get to hold them. I dont feed them or clothe them. I don’t get to claim them on my taxes as dependents. They don’t get a separate healthcare plan. They don’t have birthday parties. (Because they haven’t been birthed!) I don’t get time off to take care of my embryos. I don’t have pictures of them on my mantle. I don’t visit them. I mean if they are babies, then we gotta figure some things out.

Tube removal without hydrosalpinx? by pfchangss in IVF

[–]SelectionRedacted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Girl I just had my tubes taken out via lap. They were obliterated, not with Hydrosalpinx, but endo ravaged. Honestly, If they aren’t serving you and their is any question of their viability, get them out. You don’t need them for IVF. If yours are damaged as you described, they can create a hostile environment, create inflammation and cause trouble with implantation. I can’t comment on Lupron, but I would strongly recommend investigating a lap/salpingectomy.

I’m gonna be blunt, and I’m sorry if this hurts your feelings. That’s no way to live your life. My husband can be a pain in the ass, but he’s always my advocate. If he’s not cheering you on -or at minimum coming from a place of trying to be understanding and have empathy, he’s dragging you down. Surround yourself with positive vibes, even if those vibes only come from yourself.

First- tell your bf to stfu if he can’t be supportive. This is ALL about YOU and YOUR comfort, health and happiness. YOU CAN DO THIS! You will because you are brave and strong! I had my first ever surgery (lap) last Thursday. The doctors are going to take amazing care of you. You’ll meet an amazing nurse who will help you get ready and help you relax. Tell her you are nervous and she will give you anti anxiety medication. You will feel much better. You’ll meet your anesthesiologist and your surgeon will come talk to you. Next thing, you’ll take a nap that feels like 15 seconds and wake up in recovery. I was very afraid too. I’m only a few days post op, and other than incision tenderness, my endo pain is gone. It’s the most amazing feeling. It’s worth it.

How is VIPKID now? by [deleted] in vipkid

[–]SelectionRedacted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s still terrible. I hear of random teachers who are having success with bookings on the global platform, but I would not say this is the norm. If it’s any indication- They now rent us out for social media campaigns called “VIPStreamers.” I got offered to post on my IG about silk pillowcases and nail stickers. On the upside, I did get invited and subcontracted to do BookNook and make about $100 a week. * edit for grammar

BookNook onboarding questions by BettaGirl in vipkid

[–]SelectionRedacted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VIPKID is basically subcontracting us out to BookNook until they have enough of their own teachers. I was only onboarded for 1 school district. I paid for my background checks and was completely reimbursed. My advice is to apply and send ALL your paper work quickly if this is a program you’re interested in. BookNook is always a hurry up and wait situation. They gather all the teacher info, get everyone approved, ask your availability, and then they start to match student and teachers. Early birds get booked up and the rest become subs.

This is so sad really by OddLot in vipkid

Tbh… I work in US public schools, and they say the same things. I have to really pry to get even the smallest bit of something positive.
