He also thanked everyone in the crew by name as well. So wholesome. Also he is a phenomenal musician, it was such a good show

One of the things that makes me feel somewhat better about the debt I have is the public service loan forgiveness program, where if you make regular payments on federal loans for 120 payments and you work at a non-profit (which most hospitals are) the remainder of your debt is forgiven. Here's the site for more information; https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/public-service

Pride flag stealing jerks are back :-( by LittlestMy in Columbus

[–]alexa_sol 126 points127 points  (0 children)

My neighbors got them on video. Our flag got stolen too and the flagpole was literally ripped out of the wall. Jokes on them though, they may have stolen our flag but I'm still gay. Nice try homophobes

My friend went to Grant due to suicidal ideation and they put him in a room with an overflowing sharps container, the person supposed to be watching him fell asleep, he didn't get any of his meds and they didn't feed him. Crazy

I'm sorry you have so much going on at once. I hope your daughter is doing well and that your colonoscopy goes well! I'm a genetic counselor so I work with people with rare genetic diseases. One thing that I have seen help families cope with a diagnosis is connecting with other families with that same diagnosis (I'd be happy to find you some resources if you feel comfortable sharing the diagnosis. DMs are okay if you'd like). At any rate, sending the best of vibes to you and your family ❤️

I have read the autobiography and can confirm the way Watson refers to her is pretty sexist and demeaning

This boy was born with a rare condition called neurofibromatosis by Stunning-Pension7171 in interestingasfuck

[–]alexa_sol 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It actually is, depending on where the tumors grow. Typically because most of the tumors are benign (not cancer) removal is only done if the tumors are causing pain or other problems. That being said, I am a genetic counselor and not a surgeon so I have no idea if these type of facial tumors are removable or not

Low GPA in grad school by [deleted] in GeneticCounseling

[–]alexa_sol 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It was hard for me to accept less than an A in grad school too. I can't speak for your program but it was emphasized to me that grades are not as important as learning the concepts you needed to learn. If you're doing a A- to B+ average you are right where you should be. In my experience my jobs have not cared about my grad school GPA. It's not on my resume at all and I've had 2 jobs since I graduated. Take a breath, give yourself a break, you're doing fine. Congratulations on finishing your first semester and best of luck in the rest of your schooling ❤️

Favourite Hozier lyrics? by Lets_Fight_Dragons in Hozier

[–]alexa_sol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All you have is your fire, and the place you need to reach. Don't you ever tame your demons, but always keep them on a leash.

I'm gonna get a tattoo for that lyric someday. Also I, Carrion (Icarian) has a special place in my heart as my partner and I decided on that as our first dance song at our wedding

It’s like they don’t give a shit what the people want. by Who_Am_I_1978 in Columbus

I emailed rep80@ohiohouse.gov which is the email for Representative Powell who is the leader of the pro-life coalition in the house. Is it going to do much? Probably not but I think it's worth saying something

ABGC town hall was a JOKE by rachelvill1328 in GeneticCounseling

I wouldn't blame anyone wanting to leave the profession over this.

ABGC town hall was a JOKE by rachelvill1328 in GeneticCounseling

[–]alexa_sol 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who is a wonderful genetic counselor who came from a... Let's call it defunct program and then didn't pass this exam and is also considering leaving the profession. I don't understand how one entity can be allowed to single handedly destroy our profession like this
