Up until this point, adults have seen JoJo Siwa as a Dance Moms alum, an alarmingly perky YouTube teen, or the reason their children insist on wearing large pink bows and a side pony. But now she may be something a little more meaningful for parents: a gay icon. The 17-year-old Siwa has been trending on Twitter over the past two days in response to videos posted on TikTok that had fans speculating she was gay because she was lip-synching to Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way....

The amendment—known as the Value Them Both Amendment—was defeated 59 to 41 percent, according to the Kansas Primary Election Results site....

So, you want to know what’s going on with GameStop. As 2015’s The Big Short shows us, there’s a reason that skimming a few headlines isn’t making the situation clear for you: “Wall Street loves to use confusing terms to make you think only they can do what they do” a voice-over notes in this drama about the 2008 financial crisis. But this week, Reddit thread r/WallStreetBets proved that wrong as they decided, en masse, to buy a number of steadily-decreasing stocks like GameStop and AMC (others included Nokia, Naked Brand Corp, and Blackberry)....

But Meghan has reportedly vetoed that idea — along with any other inkling her husband might have to hop a flight somewhere....

We may have just rung in 2021, but it seems some people may be thinking it’s 1951. A Reddit post from a mom dealing with some interfering grandparents reminds us that we still need to be shielding our daughters and sons from sexist BS. On the AITA subreddit throw91818 explained that she has recently taking a new job with a long commute and frequent business trips, while her husband will now be working from home and picking up more of the household duties that they used to share evenly....

When your babe starts to wriggle around on their belly and show an interest in crawling, it’s a very exciting time. You need to make sure that you’re prepared for this upcoming developmental milestone.

Stepmothers get a bad rep (Cinderella, we blame you!), but sometimes stepmoms are just living their lives, working, and thriving — and it’s the dad causing all the problems. Men are truly the worst sometimes, TBH. This 35-year-old woman on Reddit is a new wife and full-time stepmom to her 37-year-old husband’s 7- and 10-year-olds, which is great … most of the time. But recently, her husband lied about feeding his kids to try to trick her into cooking dinner for them — after she explicitly said she couldn’t — and things escalated from there....

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about the end of many things: the end of office life as we know it, the end of safely learning in schools for the foreseeable future, the end of shopping in stores without waiting on a line first, and the end of normally interacting with family, friends and strangers on the street. In addition to altering how we live our lives day-to-day, the pandemic also wasn’t shy in wreaking havoc on our collective mental health: namely, with creating and maintaining personal boundaries....
