The Twelve Dancing Princesses Current Events This Week: January 2023 African Americans by the Numbers Andersen’s Fairy Tales: Contents The Celtic Twilight: A Teller of Tales The Dying VeteranAmid these days of order, ease, prosperity, Amid the current songs of beauty, peace, decorum, I cast a reminiscence—(likely ’twill offend you, I heard it in my boyhood;)—More than a generation since, A queer old savage man, a fighter under Washington himself, (Large, brave, cleanly, hot-blooded, no talker, rather spiritualistic, Had fought in the ranks—fought well—had been all through the Revolutionary war,) Lay dying—sons, daughters, church-deacons, lovingly tending him, Sharping their sense, their ears, towards his murmuring, half-caught words: “Let me return again to my war-days, To the sights and scenes—to forming the line of battle, To the scouts ahead reconnoitering, To the cannons, the grim artillery, To the galloping aides, carrying orders, To the wounded, the fallen, the heat, the suspense, The perfume strong, the smoke, the deafening noise; Away with your life of peace!...

Kids are wild. If you’ve never been a parent, then maybe you don’t realize how much energy these tiny humans possess (hint: it’s a lot!). Because keeping your kids inside all day long isn’t really an option, sometimes parents take those energetic little cuties out with them. And when they get hungry, they have to feed them. Makes sense, right? But one person on Reddit thought two moms should keep their kids quiet — including a crying baby!...
Not all book lovers are keen on the idea of seeing their favorite novels become on-screen adaptations. We have a fear that screenwriters and directors won’t get it right, that they won’t fully understand or take into account what readers, or even the author themselves, were envisioning. But if HBO’s Big Littles Lies, Netflix’s take on To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, and of course The Notebook has shown us that when they get it right, it’s so worth it....
First comes love, then comes marriage — then comes inappropriate, unsolicited queries regarding when you plan to have babies from everyone you’ve ever met, whether or not you actually plan, can or want to have babies. Fortunately, I’m used to it (though that doesn’t make it okay). My half Mexican, half Jewish family has never been shy about wanting me to procreate, and I know it’s expected: My grandpa requested great-grandkids in his speech at my engagement party, and my parents made bets on my (non-existent) first born’s zodiac sign the night before my wedding....
Jersey Shore‘s Jenni “JWoww” Farley has had more than 10 years to get used to being in the public eye — plenty of time to practice tuning out other people’s opinions about how she lives her life. But when it comes to her children, that public commentary still stings, especially with regard to 3-year-old son Greyson, who is on the autism spectrum. That’s actually why she continues to share updates about him on social media, she recently explained....
Do no harm. The motto is the first line of the Hippocratic Oath taken by medical doctors and its sentiments resonate to all service professionals’ codes of ethics. Therapists, social workers, counselors, teachers, and mental health professionals work to first and foremost do no harm. We work to help heal and support others, especially those who are the most vulnerable of our population — children and even more-so trans children. So when Texas state attorney general Ken Paxton and other law makers consider gender-affirming surgeries and medically-accurate care for trans children ‘child abuse’ while state governor Greg Abbott orders the Texas department of family and protective services and all mandated reporters to investigate families who support trans children’s medical needs, this call to heal feels threatened....

Life gets tough, and even the strongest, most powerful women in Hollywood know that all too well. So don’t let the Monday blues get you down — read on for 15 inspirational and motivational quotes from strong female stars including Jennifer Aniston, Kelly Clarkson, and Meghan Markle....
Dealing with your in-laws can be one of the most challenging parts about getting married, but one mom on Reddit had the best solution. When her husband’s parents came into town and disrupted their kids’ weeknight routine, she decided to give herself the week off — and let her husband deal with the aftermath (for a change). The results were amazing … for her. In the “Am I The A-hole?” subreddit, a mom of two explained how her parents live three blocks away, and her 9- and 11-year-old kids get to see them often....
Dating shows such as Love Island and Too Hot to Handle are filled with unrealistic, ever-elusive ideals of conventional beauty — which means that all of their contestants, to a degree, look very similar and face very similar challenges in the dating world. While racial diversity on these shows has slowly, slowly been improving, the overwhelming majority of contestants on shows like these are still thin, straight, cisgender, and able-bodied. And while it’s easy (and correct) to say that people from every group deserve to be represented in pop culture, that gets complicated when you talk about introducing people with disabilities to be contestants on the types of reality dating shows we have now....
After hearing bits and pieces about how Sia adopted two teenage boys as they were aging out of the foster care system, the singer and filmmaker decided to tell a more complete version of her journey to motherhood in this month’s InStyle magazine. It’s a wonderfully uplifting tale that makes us wish there were more Sias in the world — until, that is, we could get to a place were fewer children have to be in the foster system in the first place....
