Yes, climate activism is religious. And we need to become even more religious. Bigots in the green movement deny the reality of our crusade, and of the inseparable nature of environmentalism and all the world's religions.
Why are we decent people who care about the Earth afraid to talk about spirituality? Contrary to impressions left on the simple by rage-baiting media, no religious path advocates environmental destruction or apathy. After reviewing the major religions of the world’s stances on the environment, it seems pretty clear to me that there are more commonalities than differences. In the realm of metaphysics there are genuine and significant splits between Dharmic faiths (Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism) and the Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), but in the realm of practical action to protect our shared environment, there is a great common ground between all of them and environmentalism itself. In other…

How to Feng Shui your bedroom to attract hot men Bring in the love of your life, welcome some sizzling romance, or add spark to your current relationship.
The Bedroom is THE most important room in the home. It is important that it be a restful, inspiring and sensual place that we love being in. If we can’t truly rest there, everything in our lives is impacted, including our love life, our ability to make money, health and family relationships and the way we feel about ourselves. This is the place that we interact with our significant other in the most intimate way. It should be both cozy and sensual and is the ideal place to anchor in affirmations about our existing love life or the one we would like to bring in. Expressing our sensuality and connecting…

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. Also, check out our biography of the starlet in our piece, The Finest Film Foxes of the Fifties.] 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.

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…
