“The notification from Facebook said that my photo had been flagged for ’nudity,’” says Sybil, a 45-year-old lactation coach in Jeffersonville, New York, who works part-time at a mothers’ milk bank. “My first reaction was ‘what the heck?’ Then I got angry.” And here’s what really threw her for a loop: the flagged photo, shown below, barely shows any boob at all! Seriously, Facebook?! Of course, as you’ve probably heard, the site has a long history of being squeamish about showing pictures of nursing moms....

Unfortunately, there aren’t many companies that cater to our dark souls (we’re just thankful we found a sinister AF black bath bomb). But get ready to thank the stars, because there’s finally a monthly subscription box made just for us spell-casting witchy goddesses. title: “This Subscription Box Is Basically A Monthly Witch Kit” ShowToc: true date: “2024-09-01” author: “Cecilia Morin” Unfortunately, there aren’t many companies that cater to our dark souls (we’re just thankful we found a sinister AF black bath bomb)....

Or rather, it was. Now that huge retailers like Urban Outfitters and Ulta carry Lime Crime, the brand is more mainstream — and accessible — than ever. The swirling brand controversy, which has previously involved Hitler costumes, lawsuits, and identity theft, had previously been so poisonous that any other brand would have withered on the vine. Except Lime Crime, it seems, is thriving. So how did an indie makeup brand like Lime Crime go from lightning rod to Ulta darling?...

One great thing about tuna casserole is that as long as you have the tuna, chances are you can make it with what you already have in the house. apeclark2008 was in this situation the other day. She wanted to make a simple tuna casserole and needed a couple of additional ingredients to round it out. She asked moms in the Newcomer’s Club for some advice, and based on what they told her, she created this recipe, which her 11 month old absolutely loved....

This news comes courtesy of research in the new issue of PLOS Pathogens. What? You missed it? Don’t worry, we’ll fill you in. Scientists at Johns Hopkins placed progesterone implants in a group of female mice, while another group was left without. Then all the little rodents were infected with the flu. Those WITH the implants had less inflammation in their tiny lungs. They also recovered more quickly from damage to their lung cells....

One thing that I learned NOT to do is watch an episode of Sex and the City. A few years ago, my roommate and I were having our air conditioner installed, and not thinking much about it, were watching an episode of Sex and the City. Then, out of nowhere, there’s a Samantha scene … and you know what that means. Loud orgasmic sounds heard throughout the living room as the poor old man tried to pretend he didn’t hear....

Rev. John J. Forbes also read statements from Shanann’s parents during the service that expressed just how much they miss their daughter and grandchildren. “Daddy loves you. You are a wonderful daughter and a great mother. You are nothing but pure love, always caring for everyone,” Frank Rzucek’s statement said. “You will always be Daddy’s Little Girl. Until we meet again, I love you with all my heart.” He reportedly claims that he then “went into a rage” and strangled Shanann in reaction to her killing their children....

Instead, she credits four things with her being able to accomplish this impressive task. The first thing is that she normalized using the toilet from day one. She did it with Elimination Communication, which is the idea of not depending on a diaper and instead on learning a baby’s signals for when they need to “use" the bathroom. “I didn’t wait until some arbitrary time in his life to introduce the concept of a toilet and not urinating on himself,” she wrote....

Brittney Johnson writes on Facebook that she recently took her little girl to Target so she could buy herself a new bathing suit. Like most kids, her little girl strutted through the store with confidence, carrying her sunglasses and baby doll (“All diva. All the time,” Johnson writes) and saying hi to every person they passed. Her daughter helped her pick out 11 different suits and then watched while her mom went to work trying them on....

Not so in the case of mom Teresa Moyer, whose baby girl just couldn’t wait to come out. According to Fox 59, Moyer — who already had six children at home — was on her way to the hospital in Indiana, and thought she had plenty of time. The baby girl had ideas of her own, however, and gave her parents and an unlikely member of the hospital’s staff quite a surprise....

One anti-ink activist (who knew there was such a thing?!) has taken her stance to the extreme and started a Facebook page, “Tattoo-free (and happy),” to illustrate her distaste for the body markings she believes place people at risk for HIV, ADHD, cancer, scabies, hepatitis, and a multitude of other dire conditions. Site proprietor Jayne Weschire, who also sells Clean Arm Army shirts and hoodies, writes: I’m not a tattoo fan either, but that’s crazy harsh, right?...

Ordinarily I’m against ratings systems and Yelp-like reviews for human beings — but the fact is that back in the olden days you’d be able to ask around about a new prospect. Your family would know him, or they’d know his family. Your friends would know him. People from church, school, or the local gathering places would weigh in. Nowadays, however, people tend to mind their own business a lot more, we’re all kind of isolated in our own little worlds....

Of course, there are ways to compliment a woman’s physical appearance. There’s no shame in that game, as long as the woman feels comfortable and you’re not just a thirsty rando on the street, a bar, or work. Sometimes though, the compliments that mean the most to a woman are the ones that have nothing to do with her appearance. Need proof? We asked women to share the best compliments they’ve been given that aren’t at all about their looks....
