ACOG and SMFM use these definitions to describe term pregnancies:

Early term: Your baby is born between 37 weeks, 0 days and 38 weeks, 6 days.

Full term: Your baby is born between 39 weeks, 0 days and 40 weeks, 6 days.

Late term: Your baby is born between 41 weeks, 0 days and 41 weeks, 6 days.

Postterm: Your baby is born after 42 weeks, 0 days.

It was to be the first authenticated full-term pregnancy after in vitro fertilisation, though there were earlier claims to keep the possibility in the public eye.⁶⁹

69 For example, a claim by Professor Bevis of Leeds University in July 1974. Speaking at the annual meeting of the British Medical Association, he declared that there was at least one test-tube baby alive in Britain, and two elsewhere in Europe. He declared himself surprised at the ensuing publicity, despite having told a CIBA Foundation symposium the previous year that 'the mass media are hysterically interested in embryo transfer'. When pressed, he announced he was withdrawing from the field, and that he had refrained from publication to protect the children. He was not heard from on the subject again. See Anon., "Test-tube baby alive and well in Britain', The Times, 16 July 1974; Packard, 1978, pp. 189-90; Wolstenholme, 1973, p. 95.

Saw a post about working class butches in physical labour jobs and wanted to make my own, so: I love you butches who do childcare or early education. I love you butch nurses. I love you butch house cleaners and janitorial staff. I love you service industry butches. I love you butches who do sex work. I love you working class butches who do “feminine” jobs you are cool as hell

Me: I’m going to ease myself back into school, take a light load, just enough to be full time

Term Schedule: *18 credits for the academic quarter*

Me: I mean… it only counts as 15 ‘cause three are PE, right?

What happens when a Jedi Initiate dies?

It cannot always be prevented, the galaxy is a dangerous place, especially for children, and the Jedi are still only mortal.

Accidents happen. Illnesses exist.

Tragedies do too.

The Crèchemasters are highly trained to prevent that, of course, but they too are only mortal. They too can fail.

The death of an Initiate is a heavy burden, for the entire Temple. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it is a heavy burden. It is from that burden that one of the Order's most sacred traditions stems from.

They may die an Initiate, but they will not join the Force without guidance.

When an Initiate dies, they automatically gain the rank of Padawan – no matter their age. They will posthumously be taken in by a Master and be gifted a braid and a lineage. If they already found their crystal and built their saber, these too will be taken care of by their new Master.

Some Masters of such Ghost-Padawans, especially those who had a bond before their passing, will live the following years as if they had a living student. They will not take on another until the Force or they themselves deems them ready, at which point the High Council will hold a honorary Knighting.

Because while the Order might lose an Initiate, no Initiate will ever be left alone.

I have had a lot of thoughts on the original story after listening to the Sherlock&Co "Gloria Scott" and a new headcanon just dropped.

(a second part i think - part 3 - part 4 - part 5 - part 6) (it's on AO3 too)

thoughts, if you're curious:

As far as gay Victor Trevor absolutely got me, I don't think there was anything serious between him and Holmes. This all comes down to my reading of Holmes, who is (to me) too aroace-spec to get involved in a regular relationship (althouuuughh about Holmes, his sexual and romantic orientation and him discovering it I have had so many thoughts I could write a whole essay). He likes to have a default person though, someone who will take him as he is, and maybe even admire a little - now that's Watson, earlier it was Trevor.

And yea I think Victor got a crush straight away after their first meeting, maybe they even talked about this at some point. Maybe Holmes said that he won't be able to reciprocate this affection but if Victor is fine with keeping things as they are, then he is too. I like to think they stayed pen friends even after Trevor's leave.

I feel like I should emphasize this? My intention in the comic was to make Trevor visibly flustered because he didn't expect a young attractive boy (he's hopeless in my head), while Holmes simply didn't expect to see someone his age and so sincerely sorry.

Oh my gosh Beardsley that was SO SMART to figure out the people whose blood crystallizes are the people who TURN DOWN being brought back to worship Ankarna god DAMN

I think that person saying to reclaim "reject modernity, embrace tradition" "gayly" is a great example of how too many lgbt people on this site don't understand the function of reclamation and give it way too much weight in terms of revolutionary politics and thinking. The same can be said about representation, but that's another convo this site (especially the lgbt whites) isn't ready to tackle.

For now, understand that there are certain concepts and ideas that cannot be reclaimed because they don't function as a way to describe a marginalized group but as an ideology with the sole purpose of keeping those groups marginalized if not outright eliminating them.

ughm i really didnt mean to color this but i blacked out and emerged an hour later with this. .. .....k .. kurahi... kurahi??? kurahi......... ....
