Artificial intelligence may be imminent, but that doesn’t mean we need to start acting like robots now. Power and leadership seem to go hand in hand with lack of emotion, or coolness. The idea of “if you show how much it bothers you, you look vulnerable and you lose,” is prominent in the work force. [...]
“Ha, that’s so retarded.” I froze. My mouth opened to say something – anything – but I simply stared at the person who had just uttered the insult I hated so much. My mom’s friend, at least thirty years my elder, didn’t miss a beat, clearly not realizing that his word choice had made me [...]
Insecurities. We all have them. It’s a completely normal thing. Especially in teenagers. I, being a freshman in high school, have many.

Unfortunately, skinny shaming is a real thing...and here's why: 1. Because telling someone who’s skinny to "eat a cheeseburger" is the same as telling a heavy person to "put down the fork." An insult is an insult, and referring to someone’s body, as "a stick" isn’t pleasing to hear. Telling someone, “if you turned sideways [...]

With all of the great deals offered on days like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, a lot of people seem to forget that Thanksgiving is all about being grateful for what we already have. Enter #GivingTuesday: a day where you can give to your preferred organization [...]
On Tuesday, December 2nd, people around the world will be taking part in #GivingTuesday, a new tradition that can really make a difference.
