Replace the womb with any other organ and see how many people change their stance Grateful to live in a country where commercial surrogacy is illegal, as it should be

Not pink causing all this palaver and getting away unscathed… she can donate her last $10 too

if true, this seems like a blunt joke made in attempt to console a grieving brother (although in extremely bad taste), he obviously didn't literally mean she'd be forgotten

Am i missing something? these sound NOTHING alike

a lot of your faves (addison for example) have done worse but it's fine because they're cool or something

I wonder why dua left… I always thought they were good managers but it seems like Lana and Dua were just a fluke

Yeah no, posting explicit photos of children is not just "crossing the line". You do better.

Not to sidetrack the conversation but FElon got rid of like 80% of previous twitter staff. There is literally no one running that ship which is why the app is slowly coming apart

Like others have said, it's not just the financial aspect, but it's the connections you have too. I know plenty of well-off people who can dedicate lots of time to doing what they love without any other form of income apart from the bank of mum and dad, but they don't have the connections to break into the industry. I get this is a prewritten PR statement to avoid backlash, but it's not truly acknowledging the full bounds of being a nepo baby. I will give her some gracie though because I haven't actually watched the full interview and she might have discussed this too. And I disagree with people saying that music nepotism is different to other forms of nepotism. Whilst artists do eventually find their audience, in the modern day audiences have their music curated for them with playlisting, radio, advertisements and what have you- all of which Gracie has had a big backing for through nepotism! Why don't nepo babies dedicate time to their craft and find an audience in an organic way without relying on connections? Because it's easier, but they refuse to admit that they don't work as hard as those who came into the industry with nothing to their name (rare these days, but I do think PinkPantheress is a great example of this). I think the only form of nepotism that is somewhat different is like, medical nepotism or something. Talent and skills that are actually quantifiable.

And i'm not denying any of that edit: just wanted to expand, i and other social workers i know (definitely not all) work hard to address and overcome biases, it's why we have regular supervisions to discuss and reflect on our practice constantly (in the UK, but I assume practice in US is somewhat similar and supervision is consistent). i just don't agree with the language used that it's comparable to an armed SWAT team that could kill you the moment they step into the home. ultimately, we are trying to investigate the welfare of the child and we have to follow due processes (which pete acknowledges) but unfortunately this does include sometimes investigating malicious referrals for the sake of a child's safety. i don't disagree that at the same time, our systems consistently fail minority families

the dislikes on this lol… no one's disputing the fact that it is a stressful, invasive, and sometimes traumatic experience to go through however AS A SOCIAL WORKER it's very disheartening to see a politician compare investigating a referral to literal armed officers bashing your doors down with guns. let's exercise a little nuance here edit: and i'm not excusing/ignoring/overlooking that it was a malicious & probably homophobic report made against him ! i'm talking about the language used here
