Everyone deserves a seat at the cryptocurrency table BIPOC and women are here, and we're ready to become part of the blockchain—whether you like it or not.
It’s no secret that the world is changing, but some parts are changing faster than others. In recent years, the finance sector saw massive disturbances, primarily caused by the disruptive arrival of a range of impressive new crypto technologies. Seizing an enormous market share, the blockchain and its prospective use cases quickly made waves and changed how everyone from retail investor to hedge fund manager saw the world and their wallets. On the surface, this might appear to be yet another symptom of a wider trend of progressive change in the 21st century. Digital sounds fair. A reduction in the barrier to entry from last century’s unnecessarily complex portfolio algorithms…

Hidilyn Diaz makes Filipina Olympic history in Tokyo Weightlifter Hidilyn Francisco Diaz just became the first Filipino to ever win a gold in the country's 97-year-old Olympic history.
Before Hilidyn Diaz, no athlete from the Philippines had proven capable of delivering a golden moment on the Olympic stage. This is despite the fact that, except for a boycott of the 1980 Moscow Summer Games, athletes from the Philippines have participated in every Summer Olympic since its debut in the 1924 edition. The entire medal haul accumulated by the Philippines over that span was three silver and seven bronze — the gold medal remained conspicuously absent. Until Diaz stepped up and delivered the goods in remarkable style on Monday, July 26th. Competing in the women’s 55 weightlifting competition, Diaz defied the odds, defeating world record holder and gold-medal favorite Liao Qiuyun of…

The Marilyn Monroe diet: she stayed in shape with raw eggs, meat, & ice cream According to an article credited to the bombshell actress in a 1952 issue of Pageant magazine, the Marilyn Monroe diet was very, very weird.
[Editor’s note: June 1st would have been Marilyn Monroe’s 95th birthday. Here’s a recently unearthed photo spread from the September 1952 issue of Pageant magazine that details Marilyn’s diet and exercise routine.] How I Stay in Shape Frankly, I’ve never considered my own figure so exceptional; until quite recently, I seldom gave it any thought at all. My biggest single concern used to be getting enough to eat. Now I have to worry about eating too much. I never used to bother with exercises. Now I spend at least 10 minutes each morning working out with small weights. I have evolved my own exercises, for the muscles I wish to…

22 of the best hookup songs ever, ranked by screwability Songs make or break a hookup. Here's a ranking of hookup songs + the clothes and position you need for each hookup mood.
I straight up love hooking up to music. Honestly, I blame my weakness on dramatic make out scenes set to vaguely synth music in John Hughes movies. I just want every moment that I’m getting busy to be perfect for a romantic movie scene. Hey, in my defense, I spent 23 years of my life with subzero action; I had a lot of time to use my imagination. Plus, blasting music allows me to avoid the awkwardness of hearing roommates watch Netflix during oral. As someone with music interests that range from Pitchfork approved indie rock, to empowering female-driven hip hop to bad pop-punk, my ideal hookup songs might not…

Annie Jones and herstory’s many badass bearded beauties Freak show performers were the original American celebrities, and bearded ladies occupied a high place in the freak hierarchy.
In the late nineteenth century, one of the most famous women in America was Annie Jones, known as a small child as The Infant Esau. When she died at the age of thirty-seven, she had never known any life but that of a freak show performer. P.T. Barnum had begun displaying her in his American museum when she was just twelve months old. Her talent? She had a beard. In the heyday of the American freak show, the hair that sprouted on the faces of a lucky few women (and sometimes children) gave them a chance at fame. Freak show performers were the original American celebrities, and bearded ladies occupied…

How lighthouse keeper Ida Lewis pioneered early female badassery The heroine was called the “Bravest Woman in America.” President Ulysses S. Grant awarded her the Gold Lifesaving Medal.
Long before there was Wonder Woman, or any other tights-clad Marvel hero for that matter, there lived a woman named Ida Lewis. Ida lived right beside the sea in Rhode Island, where she rose to fame for taking her role as a lighthouse keeper to another level entirely. From the age of just 12 years-old all the way up through her mid-60s, Ida became famous for rescuing tons of people who otherwise would have drowned at sea. As a result, she would become a woman known by many names. The Society of the American Cross of Honor called her “The Bravest Woman in America.” President Ulysses S. Grant awarded her…

Everything you need to know about vaginismus, which is not a Harry Potter spell If involuntary vaginal muscle spasms interfere with your, uh, activities, know that it's totally possible to give vaginismus the boot.
You’re probably wondering, uh, what the hell is vaginismus? I don’t blame you. It sounds like a spell from Harry Potter or something. But trust me, if it was, it would be one effed up spell. Curious? Well, you’re in luck, because I’m going to let you in on the quick and dirty about vaginismus. What is vaginismus? Vaginismus is a condition in which vaginal muscles tighten, squeeze, or spasm, making it incredibly painful or damn near impossible for anything to enter the vagina. It’s sort of like a reflex, the same way you close your eyes if something gets too close to them. Er, so what are the symptoms then? Usually, excruciatingly…

12 genius ways to incorporate miso into your regular diet Miso is a superfood packed with vitamins, minerals, enzymes and probiotics. Here's how to add it to your diet.
If you still think miso is just for miso soup, think again. This versatile food naturally lends itself to many different dishes. Miso is a fermented food, usually made from fermenting soybeans, although I’ve also found rice and chickpea miso as well. It is a staple food in the traditional Japanese diet. Research in the International Journal of Oncology found that regular miso consumption can help fight lung cancer. Other research suggests it may also help fight breast, colon and liver cancer. Other research found that when eaten as part of a regular diet, miso can help reduce the damaging effects of radiation. Packed with vitamins, minerals, enzymes and probiotics, miso is a delicious…

The Relationship Fade is the best non-breakup breakup ever There's a way to break up with someone without ever really discussing it. Here's the scoop—and techniques.
Whether you’re the one who ended the relationship or the one who had to endure the whole “It’s-not-you-it’s-me/let’s-just-be-friends” thing, breakups are tough. Even breakups that are conducted in the most dignified way possible — as in, no tires have been slashed and no stuffed animals heads have been torn off and mailed to the other party — can seriously sting. Who wants to keep rehashing the awkward-at-best breakup conversation? Who wants to see the look of pity on your exes face, or, worse, have to feign one for the person you just dumped?
