We’re all thinking a little bit more about germs and what we touch when we’re in public these days, and that goes double for indoor, confined spaces like airplanes. And while you’re probably not under any kind of illusion that commercial aircraft are super duper clean places, this flight attendant’s TikTok should probably still come...

I know there are probably more than a few things that show up online any given week that claim to “blow your mind,” but listen – you have to at least give this TikTok a try and let me know what you think. It showcases the latest in TikTok cooking trends – a delicate egg...

There are too many stories on Reddit, and elsewhere on the internet, in which people don’t stand up for their spouses when they should – and some when they do stand up for people whom they definitely should not. It’s refreshing, then, to read this tale about a man whose wife has a lovely voice, and who he...

If there’s one thing I wished I had learned earlier in life, it would have been to be happy and confident in who I am as a person – physical appearance and otherwise. It’s a hard lesson for most of us to learn, but it’s an important one, and life is so much better once...

Love it or hate it, there’s no denying that if you’re traveling and want an alternative to burgers and fries, you’ve probably found yourself standing in line at a Subway. And even though an Irish court recently decided their bread is more sugar than, well, bread, it turns out people still find plenty to love....

More people are working from home than ever before, and not all because they want to. The ranks have been filled by people staying home out of necessity, and while there are perks like being able to set your own schedule and not having to wear pants, we’re all learning there are downsides, too. Like...

Working from home is one of those funny things in life that sounds like the promised land…until you start having to manage the logistics around actually, you know, getting work done at home. Whether it’s managing your own time or finding space to work around parenting and housework, there are challenges in the best of...

Most of us want to find the way we can do good, can give back to the world around us and those less fortunate. We have to find our thing, the outlet that gets us the most attention and the most support – and therefore, earns support and attention for our passionate causes. And judge...

Coffee is what makes the world go ’round. At least, it’s what makes my world go ’round, and I’ll be honest – I don’t spend a whole lot of time thinking about how it gets to my house and into my cup every day. These facts make me reconsider those lovely little beans and what they...

If you’re a human being over a certain age, chances are coffee (or some kind of stimulant) is part of your day. We’re all hustling harder, being more involved parents, busy trying to have it all – and honestly, there aren’t enough hours in the day to spend 8 or more of them sleeping. So,...

If you’ve read anything about crows or other members of the corvid family, there can be no doubt in your mind these birds are smart. Super smart. Scary smart. Until now, though, scientists have assumed there still remained a gap between primates and every other sort of living being, and that had to do with the...

The more scientists who study sex, genetics, and gender, the more we’re learning about a topic that’s increasingly more complicated than we ever imagined. Biological males all share a piece of genetic material known as the Y chromosome, which, as far as we’ve known, exists to control the function of the sexual organs and other...

When most people start to make a bucket list of places to visit in the United States, the national parks – and the giant, majestic redwoods in particular – often find their way onto the list. How could they not? Standing among those huge, ancient trees makes a person feel small in the best possible...

When I visited Germany, there was literally nowhere I went where there wasn’t some kind of reminder of the Holocaust. There was no way you could forget it, or forget where you were, and so I don’t think someone would accidentally be able to have a good time somewhere a bunch of people were murdered...

If you’re a person of a certain age, chances are you “met” Will Smith back in the 90s. It was before he was cool, before you could really call him handsome, and way before you imagined he could snag any sort of attractive wife and manage to hold onto her for years. That said, there...
