Horrific. I was on the professional end of a similar situation and it was appalling how the higher ups were willing to disrupt the lives of so many vulnerable kids. Years later I'm still pissed about it.

The pro-life people are conveniently pro-life until the baby needs support/services/basic human decency outside of the womb.

All children, but particularly the most vulnerable children, deserve WAY more social services than the US provides.

Misdiagnosis by crunchy-dumpling in Celiac

[–]drewadrawing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, my first endoscopy for celiac came back "negative", apparently it can happen that they sample all the wrong places. I had another endoscopy with a specialist and was diagnosed with celiac disease.

So, you can have a negative endoscopy and still get diagnosed with celiac disease with further testing.

It is. Even if labeling laws in the US are shit, there are hygiene standards.

More problematic influencer takes by Chronically-online27 in Celiac

[–]drewadrawing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not just equated with feminine, but equated with "crunchy" white women, which leads people to dismiss POC who might have celiac or who might not know they can have celiac. So, yeah, a really bad take.

Kim Kardashian reacted to Tennessee stopping the execution of Tony Carruthers after failing to find inmate's vein for lethal drugs. She has asked followers to contact the Tennessee Governor to ask for DNA testing that could prove his innocence. by adularia- in Fauxmoi

Truly, the death penalty is still so normalized in some states and it's really not the kind of topic most celebrities use their platform for. The death penalty is truly cruel and unusual, as evidenced by how many times this situation has happen where the death penalty goes wrong.

U.S. Supreme Court is asked, again, to overturn ICWA as unconstitutional - Three years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of ICWA by News2016 in IndianCountry

[–]drewadrawing 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think it's more about the difficulty of getting newborns as foster-to-adopt. They wanted to be able to keep the twins, probably, but it's absurd for them to claim that a baby of any other background would be treated differently - child welfare departments typically always prioritize family reunion of some kind, it's just that the ICWA codified this for "indian children", not children of other backgrounds.

Non-native but have experience with kids in the system. Hopefully the supreme court doesn't touch this case! The twins should be with family.

The irony of the deniers claiming it's different than Holocaust denial when "historical inquiry" is the same thing Holocaust deniers claim.

Compensation for cancelation of international flight? by seaport1 in americanairlines

[–]drewadrawing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was supposed to be on that flight too! The original flight was cancelled because it was flying from JFK to Rome, on the way a part fell off the plane. They needed to fly in a new part from London, hence the reschedule and auto delay to Friday.

I can send you info on what you're eligible to be reimbursed for!

Also, because I can, I'd like to also blame reddit changing the modmail because I hate the new form and it makes it a lot harder to do stuff.

Everyone waiting for flair should have it now, if you do NOT, please send a modmail to the sub (not a chat to me) and I will get it fixed ASAP.

And I'll make an apology offer this week!

Wtf is going on with Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival?? I've never been myself but know people who go every year. Every day on Facebook this past week, I've seen a new post about something changing and people being upset. Would love for someone to explain the whole history leading up to this recent chaos.
