My mind flashed back to being a teenager, hearing my mother sob after receiving a phone call to say that my father had been arrested in Zambia for political reasons. I understand how children are collateral damage of imprisonment, and over 20 years as a lawyer, I know that is even more true when women " primary caregivers " are arrested. I have witnessed the devastating impact of incarceration on hundreds of women and their children but also how their voices are ignored, even in women's rights spaces. "Bad girls" is how society labels women…...

8+ hour, 26+ min ago (536+ words) Buckle up, it's a rollercoaster. Intensity colors your morning as the stubborn Taurus moon launches into an opposition with Mercury in Scorpio. It may be time for a fully honest conversation. Holding back could keep people at a distance, so challenge yourself to open up. The early afternoon offers a window of stability, so take a moment to center yourself. The moon is on the move, linking up with affirming Jupiter retrograde and mature Saturn in quick succession, which will help you regain composure. But another detour is on its way, and it's more dramatic than the last. Expect the unexpected when the moon bumps into Uranus this evening. The turbulent, liberating planet will shove you outside your comfort zone. Do your best to roll with the punches " a flexible attitude works wonders. When the moon drifts into quick-witted Gemini…...

8+ hour, 27+ min ago (578+ words) In an era defined by gender wars, bad-faith assumptions, and chronic distrust, emotional sanity has become a full-blown revolution. The gender war is reaching a late-stage brainworm capacity. The brainworms of libbed-out feminist women have colonized TikTok, while the brainworms of low-status red pill men have colonized X. Nowhere is this more self-evident than in the most resentful men's and women's reactions to innocuous anecdotes about their lives and relationships. Watch as they masterfully intuit extensive external details that conveniently position the poster as an evil projection of their worst encounters with the opposite sex. Schizophrenic projections should not be our normative mode of communication. We shouldn't delight in the fracturing of the most sacred human bond that keeps the species alive. Adults became less extroverted, agreeable, conscientious, and open to new experiences, but there were no changes in neuroticism. Younger…...

8+ hour, 27+ min ago (1449+ words) There is more than one way to build a beautiful life, but the version we hear the loudest is usually the one built on speed: chase the degree, chase the title, chase the dream job, then maybe one day, if everything lines up, squeeze family into the margins. My upbringing looked nothing like that. I was raised by a mother who believed home was not a place you outgrow, but the soil where calling, character, and creativity take root. It shaped me so profoundly that I now raise my own daughters the same way, all twelve of them. If you're longing for a slower, richer, more grounded way of growing, one shaped by faith, family, and real skills, consider this your starting place. Focus on the arts, sciences, cooking, gardening, chores, animal care, life skills, and literature with your homeschooling…...

10+ hour, 10+ min ago (413+ words) This season's most unexpected makeup trend happens to be super wearable The winter makeup forecast is officially cool-toned with an overcast of beige blush. Yes, you read that right " beige. Together, these pros are calling it: winter's statement shade is the one hiding in plain sight. "The whole reason a beige blush exists is because it's in between a blush and a bronzer," said creator @sahar.rohani " who's also the co-founder of Soshe Beauty " in a now-viral video. "It's this rosy beige that brings some dimension and warmth back into your face when you've removed it after putting on a wash of concealer, foundation, or skin tint." Even better? Beige blushes are the gateway shade to cool-toned glam, which has been back in the spotlight recently. After a long run of warmed-up bronzers and peachy everything in the 2010s, the pendulum…...

11+ hour, 16+ min ago (265+ words) In a new book, the journalist praises the power of sisterly love. If you grew up with sisters, you already know: It's a relationship that can feel like a lifeline one minute and a labyrinth the next. So when journalist Deborah Roberts told me she was writing a book about the power, complexity, and, yes, chaos of sisterhood " informed by her own experience growing up with six (!) sisters and two brothers " I couldn't wait to dive in." Writing this book with honesty and perspective was cathartic for me and a way of connecting with my sisters over difficult topics that we spent years avoiding." To gather stories for the book, I did what I do best: interviewing people. After approaching the sisters I wanted to interview, I offered a Zoom date, promising just half an hour of their time. Most…...

12+ hour, 26+ min ago (279+ words) Sesame Street It's technically a different group of Muppets than the ones that the Internet typically requests in a Knives Out adventure. But, these days beggars can't be choosers. Once this video hit the timeline, everybody celebrated a long awaited moment. After all, it's not every day that you get literal puppets crossing over with the most popular mystery franchise money right now. A new muppet named Beignet Blanc is hot on the trail of a new mystery. "Who Ate Cookie Monster's Pie?" is a caper that all of us can get behind. Naming this entry "Forks Out" also deserves some applause too." This might be the best excuse for why this heavily requested crossover hasn't actually happened yet. People do die in Knives Out. It's kind of the point of the first movie, and lamp shaded to the point…...
