I Didn’t Cry When My Son Was Born — And I’m Not Sorry
I always thought I’d cry when my son was born. You know the scenes — the dad clutching his chest, overwhelmed with joy, a single tear rolling down his cheek as his baby enters the world. I expected something like that. But when the moment actually came, standing in the OR beside my wife, it was a very different story.

10 Blatantly Sexist Remarks About Women Made by a Man
Anyone can be sexist — men, women, and people of other genders. Discrimination isn’t limited to one group. It’s horrible, disgusting, annoying, and very unfair. Unfortunately, this is something we have to encounter once in a while, because people suck. There it is, one of the most straightforward pieces of wisdom I can share with others: humans suck. Pardon my lack of scientific terminology.

If My Son Ever Asks ‘Was I an Accident?’ — This Is What I’ll Say
It was just another workday. I was on my lunch break, April had the day off, and we were sitting in the living room watching TV. Nothing dramatic, no background music, no movie moment — just us. Then came the test result, but not from a drugstore kit. We’d gone to the hospital for this one. We wanted it to feel real. Official.

It was late one night in the lab when a physician from the emergency room came over. She had taken a couple of samples from a patient and wanted to read her own slides. We call it a wet mount when you read slides right after they’re collected. But this particular physician forgot one crucial step.

I am as chalant as it gets
Oh, act like you don't care! Don't show emotions or else you will be deemed uncool, don't smile too loud, be silent about your victories, don't be so passionate about the things you love, don't text first, don't reach out first, play hard to get- oh, and the list goes on. The new trend of being the mysterious black cat is the propaganda I am not falling for, don't get me wrong, it is not something I am against or hold my grudge against. I truly believe if you are authentically like that, there is nothing wrong with being that way, but for all the ones who actually are yappers and the ones who fill the room with love and light, this trend just invalidates their existence.

Having Partner a Higher Libido Than Me— It’s complicated
When I first started dating Anna, I thought I had finally met someone who truly got me. We had similar Spotify playlists and dark humor, and we could talk for hours about politics and what animal we'd be if we were reincarnated (she says fox, I say owl). But within the honeymoon phase, something was brewing that I didn’t fully acknowledge until it started showing up like an uninvited guest: the difference in our libidos.

7 Clear Signs You're Ready to Enter Your Ho Phase
"Am I ready for this?" That's the question Sarah asked me last month, sitting across from me with tears in her eyes after ending a three-year relationship that had slowly drained her sense of self. She wasn't asking about another relationship or even about being single. She was asking about something much more profound: whether she was ready to prioritize herself completely for the first time in her adult life.

Word of the Day: 連載
This is a lot to unpack. You seem to be in a complex situation with Reo. The long-distance thing sounds okay for now, but the attraction issues are interesting. And getting Rouge in Sephora is exciting. But doing weed behind your mom's back is risky. You mention not being 100% into Reo's face. Have you thought about having an open conversation with him about how you feel? Also, how do you plan to stop the weed habit when you get a job?

ChatGPT Is Poisoning Your Brain…
ChatGPT’s tendency to be overly supportive and encouraging is eating your brain alive. A ChatGPT session is an echo chamber to end all other echo chambers — it’s just you, an overly friendly AI, and all your thoughts, dreams, desires, and secrets endlessly affirmed, validated, and supported.
