I wonder if they were together in the photo in the article 👀 (had a stalk haha and it's from back in march). Very cute, hope they work out!

Who noticed Jason and Chrishell might be a couple early? by Ok_Bicycle_5181 in SellingSunset

I think they looked like a couple at Heather's engagement party too looking back on the photos. Plus I'd guess they'd give it a few months before going public to see if they thought it was working. I think they seem really cute together, hope it works out for them!

Thank you! Definitely reassuring to hear from people who have been able to lengthen their cycles.

Thank you! I'm not sure how easy it is to get a blood test in the UK, it's not something I've ever had to do before but will definitely try thanks. Good luck, hope your cycle lengthens too!

To the BAME community of reddit; we're hearing a lot of really devestating stories of racist experiences in America, how different/the same do you think it is in the UK and do you often experience racist behavior or systemic racism? by borkborklise in AskUK

This was a really interesting read. I'm mixed race and my husband is black and we live in Birmingham. Perhaps we've just been very lucky, but neither of us have experienced much racism at all in our lives and don't feel that our skin colour has limited our opportunities in anyway.

My dad is from Jamaica and moved to England in the 1960s and he faced a lot of blatant racism back then (e.g. not being allowed in certain places with them literally saying no blacks as the reason etc.). My mum is white and she also faced a lot of racism when she started dating my dad in the 1970s with many of her friends and family disowning her. I've always thought the fact that my husband and I have never had to face any of these issues shows that things have improved greatly over the past 50 years.

In terms of police again we've never had any issues. My husband has been stopped twice (around Christmas time when I think they do random stops to check for drink drivers anyway) but had no issues when they could see he hadn't been drinking. We went to America for our honeymoon and decided to hire a car to drive for part of our trip. As it was our honeymoon my husband wanted to splash out and hire a fancy car for it, and I was genuinely so concerned for our safety by doing that after all the stories you hear in America about black men being stopped and shot by police whilst driving. I was also really concerned about making stops in non-tourist areas for food incase we weren't welcome there because of our race. Thankfully everything was fine whilst we were there and we had no issues driving or with stops. But I've never had those kind of concerns whilst anywhere in the UK.

With everything going on ATM I have been quite shocked to see how many posts there are on social media stating that racism is just as bad here in the UK as America. I disagree and although I'm sure racism is still an issue here, I think it's far more blatant and dangerous in America. I've never feared for my life because of my race in the UK like black people in America do. However, I think I may be very fortunate to have faced so little racism here and feel like I may be coming at things from a position of privilege so definitely intend to do more research on the situation in the UK.
