7 blockbuster movies you didn’t know are just as racist as Birth of a Nation You may have enjoyed these in their day, but modern reflection imparts a troubled sense of something being very, very wrong.
In a white supremacist society, there are going to be a lot of movies with overtly racist themes. Just think Song of the South, Birth of a Nation, every movie ever made by Spike Lee, The Wizard of Oz, etc etc. But these movies are not what this list is about. No, what this list is about are those films that you probably watched and enjoyed as a young, naïve person because they were far more subtle with their racism. The movies in which the racism isn’t an obvious plot point, but an underlying assumption — which honestly is probably the most terrifying and dangerous kind of racism there is.…

You are beautiful just the way you are. Join the No Makeup revolution. Months of my life were wasted on this pointless ritual before I realized that slathering our skin organ with industrial byproducts is the Chinese footbinding of our age.
When I was in high school, I had a religious experience. I can’t explain why, but one day I stood transfixed in front of the mirror, and something hit me from high above — or beyond. WHY? Why am I wearing all this makeup? Why do I cake the living organ that is my skin with toxic barely-invented-yesterday chemicals? Why do I go through this bullshit routine every day when I am perfectly aware that time is our most valuable currency? I hated putting it on, hated how my skin felt while it was on, and of course: hated having to take it off (god have mercy on you if…

Poop buddies: here’s what happens to couples who poop with the door open “Did I just hear a plop?” Just like with the first fart, this moment is pivotal in determining the next stage of your life as a couple.
When you first begin dating someone, you attempt to pull off an Oscar-worthy acting performance by pretending you’re the easiest person to be around, because you have no flaws. Those flaws include not worrying about money when going out on a date, being down for anything just to impress this person and being devoid of normal bodily functions. The latter of which is surprisingly one of the toughest benchmarks to overcome in your attempt at turning this whole thing from dating into a real, long-lasting relationship. You see, at some point the other person is going to understand that you don’t have the finances for fancy Italian dinners where the…

When I was younger, Allison (not her real name) was a coworker (not our real relationship) from Boston (not her real hometown) who I got to know after working on a project together at our job over a few months at a company that hired us when we were freshman in college. During our sophomore year, she quit about a month after she started going out with her new boyfriend. She moved into the dorms at school, but didn’t show up to any of the classes we had together outside of exams. With a brand new iPhone and car keys instead of the student discounted bus pass, it was pretty…

Your child, a far-right extremist? The early radicalization signs no one told you about The calm before the racist storm: reach out for help if you spot two or more of these lesser known warning signs.
Folks, we need to talk about your sons. The UK has seen a 74% increase in far-right referrals to the government’s anti-radicalization program, and similar numbers are seen in America and other western nations as well. The majority of the hate incidents are caused by boys and young men led astray and radicalized into the far right by toxic online rabbit holes. The main problem is that, while our governments and NGOs are doing excellent work trying to stamp out hate, they simply don’t have the human resources and agility to educate about early onset far right radicalization. Adult folks simply aren’t hip to the esoterica of zoomer culture and…

10 questions to ask before saying “I do” He's about the pop the question—but first you need to ask a few of your own.
He’s about to pop the question, but first you need to ask a few of your own. In 1001 Questions to Ask Before You Get Married, author Monica Mendez Leahy hopes couples will probe into their partners’ psyches before they say “I do.” Some may seem silly: “Are you a light or heavy packer?” Or simple: “Do you consider yourself a morning or night person?” but they all provide insight into your mate’s habits and characteristics you’ll be living with, well, forever. And though Leahy stresses the importance of each question, we asked her to pick her top ten most important questions to ask before hitching up. Let’s roll them…

Let’s talk about sex… But how? You both know what you want in bed. Now find out how to ask for it!
It’s the classic sex act every woman hopes she’s never asked to perform. “Tonight, I’d like to pretend we’re strangers—you’ll be wearing a gigantic raccoon costume answering to the name ‘Mayuka,’ and I’ll be in a studded leather diaper—we’ll meet at a boarding school for kid wizards and spank each other with stiletto heels while Teletubbies plays in the background. And let’s film it!” OK, so your partner has never approached you with a bedroom request quite that elaborate…at least, one would hope he hasn’t. But chances are, at some point, he’ll reveal a desire to you that at best catches you off guard, and at worst makes you wonder…

15 signs you’re in danger of cheating on your partner These gateways to cheating will lead to biting the forbidden apple—or at the very least, a breakdown of trust.
Sometimes what you may think is innocent behavior is anything but. While these seemingly meaningless acts don’t need to be preformed out of spite — or even a desire to be unfaithful — they can be gateways to cheating or show that your mind really isn’t all that focused on monogamy, as well as break down your trust in each other. Sharing intimate secrets When you start confiding in a member of the opposite sex about deep, dark secrets — your hopes and dreams in life, your rough childhood — instead of your spouse, you start going down a slippery slope of creating an intimate connection with the wrong person.…

20 tips for living with less plastic It's impossible to completely avoid plastic, but we have compiled the 20 most effective ways to limit your exposure.
Limiting the role of plastic in your life is a good goal to have. It will reduce exposure to the many toxins in plastic that pose a risk to human health, such as bisphenol A, styrene, lead, and phthalates, and you will have less plastic waste to send to landfill or recycling.

The worst plastics are: #3 – Polyvinyl Chloride, an extremely toxic plastic that contains dangerous additives such as lead and phthalates and is used in plastic wrap, some squeeze bottles, peanut…

7 reasons men think women should never get plastic surgery Women shouldn't have work done to any part of their bodies—and there's far more to it than the disasters.
Every single person in this world is insecure about something on their bodies, whether that is their hammerhead shark-shaped toes, to the bulbous noses that appear like woodshop-crafted door stops, and parked squarely in the middle of their faces. In a time and place where we can’t agree on anything, imperfections surely are what make us distinctly human, and should make us united on at least one front. But it’s one thing to have those insecurities, and it’s something quite different to act on erasing them. I’m talking about plastic surgery, the big business of making things both bigger and smaller. But if you asked most men, they’d tell you…
