Being a parent is not for the faint of heart, and getting through puberty and the teen years with kids takes a special kind of mettle. Dads of daughters will find themselves entrenched in a battle against body image that they aren’t prepared for and really have no way of understanding before it hits them...

We all have that Insta or Tumblr or Twitter account that we follow because, in a world of people speaking truth to power, fighting for rights that are slipping away by the day and advocating for people whose voices are lost, sometimes we need to check in on an account that makes us feel unequivocally...

Women won the right to vote when the 19th Amendment was finally ratified on August 18th, 1920 (it was passed by congress on June 4th, 1919). We weren’t the last country in the civilized world to encode the right in law, but we were far from the first, and there’s no denying it was an...

If you’ve ever wanted to combine being in public but being as comfortable as you are in front of Netflix at home, well, this new Swiss cinema has your back. If, like me, you can barely stay awake for a thirty-minute comedy, this might not work out well in the end (but I would undoubtedly...

Full disclosure: I love Seinfeld. I believe it is, hands down, the funniest sitcom ever to grace the airwaves. Not only that, but there will never be another one like it because in order to challenge the title, someone has to be willing to put a show on the air that centers around completely unlikable...

It’s so commonplace now that you likely don’t think twice when your favorite pizza chain tries to saddle you with an appetizer of chicken wings. But now that you’ve clicked, you’re wondering, aren’t you? I mean, why do pizza and wings go together? Who thought saucy wings went with saucy pizza, and is that person...

We all want the best for our kids – for them to be happy, to be secure, to be kind, to be successful in life. And parents whose children are the latter (and arguably all) have some habits in common. And, luckily, those habits are easy enough to replicate if you’ve got the desire and...

Surprise (not really), but Jesus probably didn’t bear much resemblance to the majority of depictions we see in modern art and churches. Artists tend to see themselves in Jesus (it’s part of the whole idea of a Christian God), which is why he mostly comes out looking white, with longer hair and kind eyes. But...

1989 was a good year (and a good album, T Swift). Things were simpler, we were all less connected, and it was a lot easier to turn off once we left work for the day. So much easier. But that’s just the start – here are 15 other 2019 problems that weren’t a thing in...

If you suffer from a fear of dolls or maybe even clowns, this might sound more like a nightmare museum than somewhere you’d like to stop off for an afternoon. But for avid lovers of ventriloquists and ventriloquism, the Vent Haven Museum in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, is a pretty awesome offering. The collection is dedicated...

You know the moment I mean – the one where, confronted with some person or task that is just the worst, you realize that you do not get paid enough to deal with that sh*t. It stinks when it happens to you, but it’s almost funny when you’re reading about it happening to others –...

You’ll need to put your word and geography knowledge to the test in order to unscramble these 8 country’s names! If you looking for a real challenge, maybe set a timer for yourself, too… #8. ????? #7. ????? #6. ????? #5. ????? #4. ????? #3. ????? #2. ????? #1. ????? Continue reading when you give...

I can be a bit of a grammar snob (it comes with the territory when you’re a writer), but there are some things that get under my skin so much that it’s impossible to keep my mouth shut. Like when you pick up a prescription, and the label says it’s for, quote, “Cameron,” unquote. My...

You know you love a good riddle – and we’ve got 5 right here, so dig in! #5. A biter. #4. A house inside a house inside a house. #3. In and out. #2. Fly without wings. #1. Key words. Continue reading to check your answers!

If you’re someone who loves Harry Potter (ie: everyone, hello), then you probably love the secret tidbits the author, J.K. Rowling, is still dropping years after the conclusion of the original series. And this one is super fun: she says that originally, Hermione wasn’t meant to be an only child – she was supposed to...
