But one dad in Kansas is particularly plugged into the phenomenon, to the point where he decided to dress up as a VSCO girl for Halloween. He and his wife, who was dressed as an eboy, a sullen, black-clad teenage boy that’s the mirror image of a VSCO girl, made videos naturally posted to TikTok. The first video shows the couple in their normal parent clothes before a smash cut to their new threads....
Though it’s not totally clear who the original owner of the video is, Reddit user u/KathiItaliano posted it early on Monday and the post has been upvoted more than 11,000 times so far. The video shows dear old dad helping his son zip around the living room much like Peter Parker galavanting about New York City. While this wannabe superhero obviously lacks Spider-Man’s web-slinging and wall-climbing abilities, his dad helps his son pull off a pretty convincing Spidey imitation by carrying him as he soars around the room and up and down their living room walls....
“Back in the fall of 2019, my daughter Indy requested a Disneyland-themed party at our house for her birthday in April,” he wrote. “We built a couple of attractions for it but due to Covid when her birthday came around we had to shelve everything and postpone the party until 2021.” While he was not able to give his daughter her dream party last year due to the pandemic, this awesome dad more than made up for it by literally reconstructing the original 1987 Star Tours ride in their garage....
“Many reopening choices are about personal versus societal responsibility,” says Dr. Logan Spector, Division Director of Pediatric Epidemiology and Clinical Research at the University of Minnesota. “This is really encapsulated in little kids. They’re not bearing the brunt of the virus, but they can spread it.” In other words, you can send your kid to daycare, and chances are they’ll be ok. But could the move harm others? Most definitely....
Bina Venkataraman argues that there has never been a greater need for thinking ahead than what people on the planet are facing today. As the planet warms, as antibiotics become less effective and give rise to superbugs, and as the economy grows more wobbly and benefits those at the top, everyone will have to decide whether they want to hoard resources for themselves or think ahead and bargain on a collective and more inclusive future....
If you’ve heard of diastasis recti at all (which likely you haven’t), it might have been in conjunction with your wife’s delivery. The condition most often affects pregnant people (about 60% of them develop it, according to the Cleveland Clinic), most commonly during their third trimester as the growing fetus presses up and out against the abdominal wall. When this happens, the rectus abdominis — those two vertical bands of muscle that make up the so-called six-pack — begin to separate....
The photos show that the park designers are dedicated to their promise of building a new type of park that features “total immersion” into the Star Wars universe. To make every inch of the park feel like a galaxy far, far away, they have seamlessly blended together the different planets and ecosystems that were made famous in the Star Wars universe. While the parks are set on a new, unnamed planet that is “one of the last stops before Wild Space,” it is clear that it has been influenced by some classic Star Wars planets, such as the gorgeous forest planet of Endor and dark, seedy vibe that is reminiscent of the Mos Eisley Cantina....

The “can of beer” can be used as a treat in the water bowl while you enjoy a beer after a long hard day of yard work or on top of dog food as a special flavor booster and food softener. (Umm, yum!) And while the product is just strictly not necessary, we suppose it is kind of a fun marketing thing to do in the midst of one of the worst years on human record, pandemic be damned and all of that....
Gabrielle Union, the NBA legend’s wife, posted a family portrait on Thanksgiving featuring Wade, his 12-year-old son Zion, and their daughter, 1-year-old Kaavia. It’s a nice picture! Wade and Union and very attractive people, so naturally they have cute kids. In the picture, Zion wore a crop-top and sported long nails. The proper reaction, as it always is to the fashion choices of preteens you don’t even know, is “so what?...
RELATED: Why The Hell Does Everyone Want to Smell My Baby? Weird Birth Fact #1: Eating the Placenta Most mammals ingest their new offspring’s placenta immediately after birth. One hypothesis is to remove any evidence of having given birth, so as not to attract predators. Another is that it provides nutritional value. While there is no scientific evidence that doing so is a good idea for humans, some alternative medicine modalities in the West encourage it....
Focus on Essential Areas First “When it comes to surviving on the summit, we have to let nature take its course,” Schilling says, explaining that her team prioritizes which areas to clear when the weather is especially bad. When it’s really blowing, focus your ice-removal efforts on walkways, paths to vehicles, entrances, and other high-traffic spots that are most critical for daily life. After the storm blows itself out, you can tackle the rest, including sidewalks and the full drive....
“The War on Drugs has too often been a war on people, and particularly people of color. Not only will this legislation remove cannabis from the federal list of controlled substances, but it will also help fix our criminal justice system, ensure restorative justice, protect public health, and implement responsible taxes and regulations,” Sen. Schumer said in a statement. The larger benefits of ending the prohibition of a drug now ludicrously listed as having “no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and a high potential for abuse” are obvious to anyone who knows about the racist reality of the war on drugs and recognizes the fact that states have been legalizing the substance for years....

Rebecca: Having our own kid was a huge recalibration of our relationship. Alonzo: When we decided to commit in the relationship and to get married, Rebecca became a different person. And then, when we decided to have a child, there was an entirely other set of rules. Life changed. R: I wasn’t expecting my personality to shift; that how I acted and behaved and showed up to the relationship before we were married would be so different than it was afterwards....
Troop 6000 is a special troop — a program was designed to support girls living in New York’s shelter system. The Girl Scout troop aims to provide community and consistency to girls who are living at the shelters as they and their families become more financially stable and move into permanent housing, according to Good Morning America. The average stay a family has in the shelter system in New York is approximately 18 months – and the Girl Scouts are a welcome support to the girls....

As the world mourns the tragic loss of Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, killed in a helicopter crash on their way to a youth game, Kobe stories are everywhere. In all cases, these stories are about “pulling a Kobe,” something Bryant did consistently enough to warrant the phrase. There’s a lot to be said about Kobe Bryant, a titan of Los Angeles, and a heel, and an institution....
The infamous, four-hour Snyder-cut is currently set to be released on HBO Max on March 18 but due to what appears to be some kind of technical glitch, it accidentally played for several users who were trying to watch Tom & Jerry. “Zack Snyder’s Justice League was temporarily available on HBO Max and the error was addressed within minutes,” the streaming service said in a statement. Doug Bass was one of the unsuspecting viewers who stumbled upon Justice League and took to Twitter to share his unique experience....
Now, they’re recommending that all people — both those who are vaccinated and those who are not — wear a mask when indoors in public, in some scenarios. This is all because the Delta variant is causing cases to rise around the country, mainly in areas where many people are unvaccinated against COVID-19. But research suggests that vaccinated people who are infected with Delta can transmit the virus, hence the new caution — and the third change in guidance on indoor masking in three months....
