Cancer touches far too many lives, and unless you or someone you love has dealt with it yourselves, it can be hard to grasp all of the insidious ways it can make you feel as if nothing will ever be the same. One of those ways is by stealing physical pieces of our bodies –...

Some people actually enjoy cleaning their homes, but for the rest of us, it’s kind of just something to get through so that we can actually enjoy our spaces (or invite people over to those spaces without feeling judged). You know, like our mothers. It can be easy to fall into a rut with our...

There’s no doubt that becoming a mother changes a woman in every way possible. It’s easy to see those physical changes, and there have also been multiple studies that prove alterations to actual brain chemistry take place as well. These new MRI results prove that just because men don’t experience physical pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and...

If there’s one thing I know for sure it’s that our brains are mysterious and wonderful, and also that we understand so little about how they work. Illusions of all kinds prove this beyond the shadow of a doubt, and never fail to capture the attention – and the consternation – of the internet when...

Have you ever wondered what you would have looked like in Ancient Rome? In Jane Austen‘s world? How about during the Renaissance, or as an American pioneer? I know many people feel as if they would have been better off born an earlier time for one reason or another, and maybe that’s why everyone is...

Addiction is scary, it’s dark, and recovery is a fight that often takes a lifetime – if one manages to escape it at all. Alcoholics suffer in all aspects of life, from their health to family relationships, friendships, and professionally, but until now, there haven’t been any serious advancements when it comes to treating it....

There are some chores around the house that hit differently than others, and even if you normally hate doing laundry, your sheets might be a different story. At least, they do for me, because even though taking them off, washing them, and putting them back on might be a pain in the rear, getting to...

I’m not sure anyone really loves the idea of going on a blind date. That said, plenty of people go ahead and agree to it, but perhaps that’s just that hope springs eternal. There have to be some that work out, though, or else no one would be giving it a shot, right? These 10...

Blind dates get a bad rap, but in this day and age, I don’t see why. Online dating isn’t much different, except you’ve at least seen the person (allegedly) before agreeing to the date. These 11 people happily went on a blind date, and they’re here to tell you exactly how it went. 11. I...

People who are pregnant get a lot of passes in life, and rightfully so. They shouldn’t have to stand if they can (and want to) sit, we should accommodate their cravings if we can, and in general, the people supporting them usually go out of their way to help them feel comfortable. So, when you...

We tend to think of actors as snooty, rich people who only care about their next paycheck – and if they’re giving away their money it must be because they need a tax break. These 13 instances suggest that’s not always the truth, though, because there have been at least a few times they donated...

The last couple of years has helped people see more than ever the areas of their life that just aren’t healthy. We try to make changes, or to call out problems when we see them, but sometimes the world seems like it’s working against us. Like in these 15 cases, whens society seems to look...

The U.S. government had already banned the use of TikTok on government property, but could they go so far as to ban the app in the States altogether? It seems hard to believe that kind of censorship could get real traction, but honestly, nothing feels as if it’s out of the realm of possibility these...

Everyone is looking for ways to hack everything these days, and the internet is keen on obliging that built-in audience. Every social media platform, every website, is going to tell you how to get the most out of any experience under the sun. The people on the other side of these little workarounds are never...

In a perfect world, everyone would be born into a great and loving family that made them want to be around for holidays and to visit home whenever possible. The truth is that a lot of families give people reasons to stay away instead, which is the case with OP here. She’s a flight attendant and...
