How to sunbathe safely, according to a dermatologist You're going to bask in the glorious, bright, beaming ball of fire that wants to kill you any way, so read this.
Now that summer is finally here, pretty much all we want to do is bask in the warm goodness of the sun. The glorious, bright, shining, beaming ball of fire that we adore so, that happens to be so, so bad for our skin. Is it possible to stay healthy in the sun? Sure it is.

Bessie Coleman: America’s first Black female pilot never gave up her dream despite multiple crashes Fulfilling her dreams of flight sparked a revolution and paved the way for future generations to pursue their own ambitions.
Bessie Coleman was born in Atlanta, Texas in 1892, the child of illiterate sharecroppers. Though her childhood was spent working the cotton fields with her parents, she constantly yearned for more. Years later she would become the first civilian licensed African-American pilot in the world, and practically invented the idea that women could fly — making her one of the top aviation industry inventors in the world. For several years, she toured the country dazzling crowds with her barnstorming and parachute jumping. Fulfilling her dreams of flight sparked a revolution and paved the way for future generations to pursue their own ambitions — but her story, inspirational at first, ended…

Why is it ok to assume consent during fantasies? I can no longer enjoy erotic fantasy unless consent is very clearly dealt with, but I worry that others' imaginations are not as ethical.
I admit that it sometimes affects my enjoyment of light-hearted pleasurable things and can cause people to use their *confused face* on me when I tell them. It started a few years ago, but now I can’t switch it off. My thing is… I just can’t enjoy fantasies unless consent is very clearly dealt with. Does that seem odd? I’m not entirely sure how it happened either, as I wasn’t always like this. It started a while ago with my own fantasies. I’d be imagining something hot happening with my latest crush, and then the logical side of my brain would step in and say, “but that would never happen.”…

Miserable? 6 ways to know it’s time to quit your awful job Hating your work is a taxing, compromising situation. Here's how to know if it's truly time to quit your job.
Everyone knows the perfect job is almost impossible to find. It takes time and effort and even sacrifice to find the sort of role that fulfills you emotionally, mentally and professionally — in the cases where it’s even possible. In fact, according to the Society for Human Resource Management, only 38% of U.S. workers are “very satisfied” with their current work. If you’ve talked to your manager, have a safety net (this is the hard part), and feel that more than one of the ways below apply to you, it’s probably time to go.

(That’s fancy talk for this AI will talk about any subject you care to prompt it with.) I played around with this thing for about an hour, prompting the AI with lines such as “the best sex position is,” and saved the most interesting finds for your edification.
