This 'Game of Thrones' theory suggests Sansa may be much sneakier than anyone guessed.

Game of Thrones spoilers below, duh.

After Game of Thrones episode seven, "The Broken Man," a Photoshop master deciphered Sansa's secret letter, confirming its fairly obvious destination and message: "Littlefinger" and "help me with your big army," respectively.

Now, the robust subreddit r/Gameofthrones has another opinion on the ongoing chain mail saga in the North. From a user named ajxnjd:

This is about Sansa's letter to LF and why she sent it.

I think I cracked this up. Remember when Sansa insisted in sending Brienne and not sending a raven to ask her uncle for help? Her argument was that she didn't want Ramsey to intercept the Raven and knows about this. But now it seems like she's gonna send a raven to ask little finget for help. But why? Shouldn't she be afraid that Ramsay will find out? Well here's my theory. Sansa wants Ramsay to find out about little finger army. Ramsay, being the mad dog that he is, will send a good part of his forces to deal with LF and knights of the vale. Now, Sansa and Co will fight a reduced Ramsay army due to this and they win easily.

TL_DR: Sansa will screw LF over to win Winterfell.

This is an intriguing theory, especially because it gives Sansa even more credit in her development from Joffrey's Naive Fiance to Littlefinger Lite. She's expecting Ramsay to intercept her letter, divert his army to handle it, and allow Jon and her to take Winterfell with little resistance.

Of course, there are some flaws to this theory, and Reddit was happy to point them out. For one, commenters said that Littlefinger's army would be much too large and well-trained for Ramsay's. Others thought it was actually a good plan, but it wouldn't work against Ramsay. He holds Moat Cailin, so he'd destroy any army coming up the Neck. Gambitsun doesn't think Ramsay would take the bait in light of the odds:

I think you underestimate the army of Littlefinger. Ramsay won't be able to deal with the force from the vale, at least not with only a portion of his army

But BlueAndOrange92 brings up perhaps the most intriguing tie-in of all:

The Neck is home to the crannogmen, ruled by Howland Reed. Fiercly loyal to the starks and they can actually bring forces through the swamps without needing Moat Calin. It's why Robb sent Maege Mormont through the swamps when she had to go north

They're also great at poison darts and guerilla warfare. If Ramsay left a minimal force then they're probably already dead

Crannogmen are loyal, and you can't invade their lands to push them out because even their castles move through the swamps.

When Moat Calin isn't actively being held it defaults to the Reeds

Show-watchers and book readers alike have been waiting for Howland Reed to finally make an appearance for years. If Littlefinger brought his army to Winterfell with the help of Reed, fans would lose their minds.

But the show's largely avoided the realization of any complicated theories, adhering mainly to Occam's Razor. Jon Snow didn't warg into Ghost before being brought back to life, a long-held fan theory; Melisandre just revived him. Arya wasn't secretly the same person as the Waif.

Plus, the upcoming attack on Winterfell in episode nine is supposed to be the show's largest battle to date. It would be significantly smaller if the troops of the Vale never make it there. Most likely, they'll arrive in the nick of time to help Jon and the Wildlings take Winterfell without any part of this theory coming true.

Still, the hype won't die. And even if all your theories are discredited in the show, you'll always have the books.

A New Zealand woman named Melissa Grey encountered an improbably large rat in her kitchen on June 12, and ended up going to great lengths to protect herself and her children from it. She recounted the compelling story in a truly epic text rant to her friend Mel and sent the screenshots to Someecards, because she knows the Internet loves this stuff.

So there you have it—T-Ratzilla is still at large, unpunished, and the household is not yet safe. This story has a real Tarantino-esque ending. We'll keep you updated on any further developments.

Social media reacts to Trump implying (again) Obama is an undercover Muslim terrorist.

In the wake of the horrific Orlando shooting, Trump has dropped flirting with "appearing presidential" and come full circle to his roots: implying Obama is a crypto-Muslim terrorist. On Fox News Monday morning, Trump not-subtly implied that Obama has "something else in mind" besides stopping terrorism, that "there's something going on." On the Today show, Trump said Obama either "doesn't want to get" the terrorist threat, or "gets it better than anyone understands."

You can read more about Trump's original statement here, but this is what social media had to say after they picked their collective jaws off the floor.

Louis C.K. explains the 2016 election. It’s nice to listen to an adult for once.

Comedian/masturbatorLouis C.K. has emerged from his Internet-free home to discuss his life, his work, and how they're both affected by the election. C.K. had previously come out with his personal opinion that "Donald Trump is Hitler," and when asked about his opinion on the Democratic candidates, he described the turbulent election with the most clever analogy:

The American government is a very volatile, dangerous mechanism, and Hillary has the most experience with it. It’s like if you were on a plane and you wanted to choose a pilot. You have one person, Hillary, who says, “Here’s my license. Here’s all the thousands of flights that I’ve flown. Here’s planes I’ve flown in really difficult situations. I’ve had some good flights and some bad flights, but I’ve been flying for a very long time, and I know exactly how this plane works.” Then you’ve got Bernie, who says, “Everyone should get a ride right to their house with this plane.” “Well, how are you going to do that?” “I just think we should. It’s only fair that everyone gets to use the plane equally.” And then Trump says, “I’m going to fly so well. You’re not going to believe how good I’m going to fly this plane, and by the way, Hillary never flew a plane in her life.” “She did, and we have pictures.” “No, she never did it.” It’s insane.

Nailed it.

There's no doubt that Hillary is objectively qualified and Trump has no political experience. It all comes down to how smoothly—and in what direction—you think the plane should go.

No matter who you vote for, and whichever direction the country plunges into politically, there's one source of solace that's guaranteed:

Plastic surgeons are posting surgery videos on Snapchat, because what's more fun to watch than live surgery?

$

It's not just those dreaded Millennials using Snapchat—some plastic surgeons have started posting videos of their surgeries in order to drum up more business, and it's become hugely popular. (Now's a good time to warn you that even though we've placed censorship bars over these images, this might be considered NSFW.)

You at least get a warning.

After realizing that people all around the world want to see gross stuff (sorry, "the human body"), plastic surgeons have been recording procedures like breast implants, Brazilian Butt Lifts, and labiaplasties. (That's when a woman gets the lips of her vulva reduced so people stop vomiting every time they see her huge, shameful, freakishly monstrous lady bits.)

Actually, according to the surgeons, people take a lot of screenshots of the the labiaplasties.

Dr. Michael Salzhauer, aka Dr. Miami (@therealdrmiami), told E! News, "I don't know if that's just 14-year-old kids who have never seen a vagina before, but you don't [often get to] see that kind of surgery. A lot of women maybe take that to compare, contrast, to show their lover or husband or whatever and talk about it."

You can't see much, but look how much smaller the star on the right is.

Right. Locker room talk and such. Whatever he's doing is working—Salzhauer narrowly missed the "Shorty Award" for the Snapchat account of the year in 2015 for his work.

Salzhauersays his 15-year-old daughter showed him how to use Snapchat after his Instagram account was deleted "for violating community standards." One of the benefits of Snapchat is that nudity and blood—the stuff that gets pulled from Instagram, or even results in accounts being deleted altogether—is totally fine on the younger network.

She even got her censorship stars smoothed out!

And yes, all the patients have consented to appear in the Snapchat stories, otherwise the doctors wouldn't film them. Salzhauer told E!, "It's like having your own reality show in your pocket, but better, because you have no censors or network to answer to. You just do whatever you feel is entertaining or funny—and educational."

Another cool thing about Snapchat is the before and after pictures. Seeing really is believing in this case. Those breasts have definitely been enhanced, no trickery there.

Bigger boobs means bigger nips which equals bigger modesty stars.

Clearly, Salzhauer's doing Snapchat right, because he gets an average of 1.5 million views daily. To help him with the endeavor, he has two social media assistants who handle the actual accounts and also film the actual videos, which are often shown in time-lapse form. As he told E!:

"I'm operating for nine to 12 hours a day, it's not that entertaining. But being able to show the interesting parts of the surgery and being able to chitchat for 15, 20 minutes, that's reasonable."

Dr. Michael Schulman (@nycplasticsurg), who gets about 1,000,000 views a day, told his viewers in one of his Snapchat stories,

"The primary purpose of this Snapchat account is for education. . . The content's going to be graphic, so if you see something that's a little too graphic for you—and there will be for a lot of you—just tap the screen."

That middle image is not censored because that's not that woman's butthole, but rather an entirely new hole for fat-suckage.

In an interview with Racked, Dr. Sej Patel (@mydrsej) said,

"Initially I was a little reluctant because I didn't know how people would react to seeing the graphic images of the operating room. But when I started doing it I realized it was really powerful because it made everyone see that what was going on was real. That solidified what I was doing in a lot of people's minds and it did really help out our business."

It also didn't hurt his business that he managed to turn his first name, Sej, into an acronym meaning "Shaped Extra Juicy," in reference to all the Brazilian Butt Lifts he does.

"It's fun as a doctor…It's entertaining and interesting for students. The human body is inherently fascinating…Most people never get to see it, and the detail we're showing now, really it's cool. It's enough to make you want to commit to 20 years of schooling," Salzhauer told E!, politely not mentioning that the pay is really, really good.

And hey, if you don't have 20 years to spend learning to become a doctor, you can just watch Dr. Miami and get straight to the good stuff.

People at Stanford's graduation protested the Brock Turner ruling, because that guy sucks.

Earlier this year, former Stanford University student Brock Turner was sentenced to a measly six months behind bars for raping an unconscious woman behind a dumpster, inciting a tidal wave of rage from the Internet. Although everyone close to Turner tried to assure America that he is a good, all-American, steak-eating boy via poorly written open letters, people remain outraged at the sentencing and continue to speak out against the puzzlingly short sentence. Stanford students used their graduation as a platform to protest the lenient sentence and criticize the school for allegedly not protecting the victim, who was raped on campus outside of a frat party.

Ignore the person wearing the paper lantern and look at the sign.

According to BuzzFeed News, this kind of advocacy from Stanford students is unexpected. Michelle Dauber, a Stanford law professor and family friend of the survivor said, "We don’t get student protests at Stanford. Students at Stanford are very conservative—it is not a school known for activism. So for students to launch a campaign like this …. I read this as a sign of the total lack of confidence or trust in the administration. I would say trust is at an all-time low."

Violet Trachtenberg, a senior who also made signs in protest, told BuzzFeed that she worries for the future of her graduating class. "It’s scary to know the powerful places Stanford students will go, and it’s scary to know that there are people graduating on Sunday who don’t know about consent. There are Brock Turners walking across the stage."

She went on to add that her protest is an act of love for her school, not one of disrespect.

"People think protesting is ungrateful. I think it’s the opposite. It’s how we show we care. This is about holding the institution, which has given me so much, accountable for the violence it enacts and the violence it condones."

Students also put papers reading "1/3" atop their mortarboards​, bringing awareness to the statistic was one in three female, transgender, or non-binary students will be assaulted in their time at Stanford.

At one point during the ceremony, a plane with a banner reading "protect survivors not rapists #perskymustgo" flew overhead, chartered by feminist activist organization UltraViolet, which is the most badass way to peacefully protest something ever. The hashtag is in reference to Judge Aaron Persky, who let Turner off easy with his miniature jail sentence. Yea, he is about as hated as Turner himself.

Recently, the Associated Press pointed out that Brock Turner will likely only serve three months of his six month sentence. As long as there are no unconscious women for Turner to rape in jail, he will most likely be released early citing "good behavior."

Summer is here, which means that you can no longer hide your ugly outfits under 10 layers of coats and sweaters. It's time to face the truth of your closet and prepare for those required outings this season demands. If you're lacking in ideas, please look to the past as so many have been doing lately with this crazy '90s nostalgia fad. However, don't settle for the trends: be ahead of the curve and steal some tips from the celebrity fashion of 2001. These 15 outfits from 15 years ago should provide you with adequate ~SuMm3R sTyL3 !n$p!r@t!0n~.

1. Dilemma: you want to wear your favorite fall outfit but it's hot out. Eva Longoria's solution: forego a shirt.

2. Striped tube tops go best with striped hair, à la Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

3. There's also something to be said for wearing a striped tube top with bed head, like Cameron Diaz, a grown woman, did.

4. Do you have a belly button? If so, it's your new favorite accessory. Display it like the women of "Lady Marmalade."

5. If you're wondering whether you should wear a hat, Jennifer Lopez and Ja Rule can answer that question for you.

6. Pink, bejeweled sunglasses like Carmen Electra's are good for subtly telling people you're cool.

7. This Taylor Swift outfit may have been for a springtime production, but the light dress is great for hot summer days.

8. Are you madly in love and see yourself as a successful philanthropist in the future? In that case, it's time to invest in a vial of your lover's blood to wear on a necklace.

9. If your pants are too long, cut them up and make a crop top from them in the vein of Jessica Simpson's outfit.

10. Dress for day or night with distressed jeans and clear wedges like Anne Hathaway did at the premiere of Crazy/Beautiful.

11. Don't have anything to wear tonight? Roll out of bed in your sexy nightgown and pin on some flowers to re-create Gabrielle Union's look.

12. For cool summer nights with the fam, stay warm like Gigi Hadid did back in the day with a fur stole you definitely don't own.

13. When wearing denim, like Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland once did together, it's best that the denim have at least one pocket lined with rhinestones.

14. As Labor Day approaches, sneak white into your outfit as often as possible, like Britney Spears did with this yellow-and-white snake at the VMAs.

15. Pro-tip: if you're nervous about your outfit, wear tons of eye shadow and release a sex tape as a distraction.

Stanford rapist Brock Turner actually texted pictures of his victim's breasts to his friends. Yuuup.

Wow. Brock "I Should've Gotten More Jail Time" Turner made himself out to be a naïve, clean-cut young man in his trial for the sexual assault of an unconscious woman behind a Dumpster on the Stanford University campus.

In a letter pleading for leniency from Judge Aaron "I Should Give Rapists More Jail Time" Persky, Turner asserts that he had no prior experience with heavy drinking and drugs. That statement proved to be false when the prosecutor submitted texts and photos found on Turner's phone to the contrary.

On top of that, documents released on Friday by the Santa Clara County Superior Court and the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office show that he also TEXTED PICTURES OF HIS UNCONSCIOUS VICTIM'S BREASTS TO HIS FRIENDS. Because that's just the kind of "aw shucks" thing a good, respectable boy like Brock would do, right?

Police couldn't find the original picture, but Turner did get responses to it.

One of the documents includes information from Blake Bolton, one of the witnesses in the case. Bolton clearly saw Turner standing over the unconscious woman with his cell phone. What else would he have been doing, if not taking a picture of her? Quick game of Candy Crush? Maybe Googling, "how to not rape an unconscious woman behind a dumpster"? Probably not.

That document reads:

. . . between Kappa Alpha and Jerry House. He also noticed a male subject standing over her with a cell phone. He was holding the cell phone. The cell phone had a bright light pointed in the direction of the female, using either a flashlight app in his phone or its built in flash. He approached this subject and asked if everything was okay The male subject did not say anything to (W) BOLTON. He told the male subject to roll her over on her side to breath [sic]. The male subject did not do this. (W) BOLTON then got down on his knees and checked her pulse. When he got back up, the male subject was gone.

Another document explains the police trying, but failing, to locate the actual picture Turner had taken, after noticing that his phone was receiving responses to a message sent through the Group Me app.

The document reads in full:

Cell Phone Extraction: Shortly after the Defendant's arrest in the early morning hours of January 18, 2015, Detectives noticed a text message in the "Group Me" application that appeared on the Defendant's screen. It stated, "Who's tits are those?" (See Exhibit Four: photos of screenshot.) A search warrant for the Defendant's phone was obtained and his phone was searched by the Santa Clara County Crime lab. Detectives were unable to locate the text from the "Group me" application or any photos related to that text. However, they learned that when there is a third party application, the images are not stored on the phone and can be deleted by a third party member in the group.

Judge Aaron Persky gave Turner a six-month sentence, as opposed to the six year sentence the prosecutors recommended, saying that he took Turner "at his word." That seems a little gullible for, y'know, a judge. Aren't the chances pretty good that in all his years as a judge, he's come across one, maybe even two people who've lied in court?

Like Arya Stark, she doesn't really care what you think, because she is a badass who doesn't have time for cry-babies who were too busy watching the Tony Awards to catch Thrones last night.

Yeah, it has been an eventful season for Arya, who abandoned her identity, was blind for a minute, was taught how to be a fierce warrior, got stabbed, drank some magic soup and got a bandaid for her boo-boo, and now is reclaiming her name and heading home.

A not-so-humble Facebook post—notable for its terrible message, even worse grammar, and over-the-top defensiveness—has Reddit excited on an otherwise dreary day. The story begins simply, with a "real man" saying "hi girls" and promising "i can give u everything u want" if they want a "realastionship."

You can see the "real man" (shown in black) respond to every comment.

If you're confused by this interaction, let the delightfully named YOLOnomoics69 give you a TL;DR version of the posts. YOLO replies:

Guy posts about being a better "man" for girls than all their "little boy" boyfriends. Then he proceeds to get called out by many women for being desperate and posting that on The Facebook.

It's quite funny because he tries to defend himself after every comment.

Whoever mercifully blanked out the names has not robbed you of the ability to identify the "man." His is the black bar, and his is the not-that-humiliated commentary of someone who should really be very humiliated.

"What do you mean by that," he says in response to someone sarcastically wondering why he hasn't had any takers yet. "I put all the boys to shame." It almost comes across as tongue-in-cheek, but for his repeated denials that he's a "boy" or "desperate."

"No im not and if u thought i was little boy cos your wrong," repeats the boy. This is probably more female attention than he's used to, and he's not using it very productively. Granted, that image of a fox in a taxi is pretty excellent.

At this point, the boy retreats behind his beseiged Facebook wall, and it was all he could do to repel the waves of attackers.

Luckily, Pink Bar comes to his defense and gives some insight into this boy's emotions. He's feeling "Not good cus x" because "All off them people saying things about me."

Hopefully, he learned his lesson, and hopefully, he and everyone in his Facebook network learn how to type, spell, and ignore—lest his cousin come after them. And if you're ever feeling lonely and desperate, just read this sentence: "there's nothing wrong in that so back off from my cuzin yea he's only lookin for sumone to love n make them happy x."

As pieces of the Brock Turner rape case continue to disgust and infuriate the Internet (yeah, the rapist/swimmer texted his friends pictures of his victim's breasts), the letter that the victim's sister shared with Judge Persky before Turner's sentencing has gone online. This is the same sister whom Turner forced himself upon earlier in the evening. Like the anonymous victim's letter, this statement does what Turner's own words utterly failed to do: beautifully summarize the self-evident fact that Turner is a rapist who has ruined lives.

The rapist regretting all the snacks he won't be able to enjoy after his 20 minutes of action.

The sister, who is attributed as Jane Doe 2 in her letter, begins by describing how a fun weekend with her beloved sister, known only as Emily Doe, quickly turned into a nightmare as Jane Doe 2 found herself picking up Emily at the hospital.

She was the one trying to assure me everything was okay, trying to protect me, when I was picking her up from the rape crisis center. I have witnessed her try to lessen my pain by holding it herself. The victim—the one who experienced the trauma—put herself aside to comfort me when she saw me hurting.

Sisterly love is the exact opposite of what Turner did, meaning that it's beautiful and lovely and tears are coming.

Like Emily, Jane did not know what exactly had happened until much later, when the press covered the events of the night.

I had to read about way her body was found. I realized that the reason I could not find her that night, after checking every room in the fraternity house, after yelling her name outside, was because she had been unconscious and hidden behind a dumpster. That she was naked from the waist down.

Jane has lived continuously with the horrible evening. "I stayed up at night obsessively turning the events of the night over in my head, delusional that it was my fault for leaving her alone for a stranger to prey upon." All those sleepless nights probably took the taste out of ribeye steak for her, too.

In her letter, Jane addressed that stranger, whom the general population has now come to know and despise.

Where has your remorse been? Really, truly: do you feel guilty because you were sexually assaulting her, or because you were caught?

After explaining how the two men who interfered have salvaged her hope in humanity, Jane left Turner and her listeners with one final emotion.

The only sorrow I feel for you is that you never got to know my sister before you assaulted her. She’s the most wonderful person in the world.

These sisters are good at writing.

The cache of released documents regarding Brock Turner's January 2015 rape of an unconscious woman at Stanford has been an unending source of outrage, but it appears the final head-scratcher is the letter his mother, Carleen Turner, wrote to Judge Aaron Persky prior to sentencing.

And—get this—she actually managed to write a letter even more infuriating than the one written by his father. So, so, so much more. Get some ice, 'cause your blood is gonna boil.

The letter is 3.5 pages long and you can read it in full here, but here are some especially choice excerpts for you to hate-read (emphasis added by this very angry reporter).

Carleen starts the letter off by talking about her son, the "REAL" Brock Allen Turner, as though the one who was convicted on three felony counts for raping someone passed out behind a dumpster was somehow "fake."

He participated in Cub Scouts during grade school with Dan as his Den leader. The scouts sell popcorn in the fall and after a couple of years, Brock decided he wanted to be the top seller for our region. Dan and I do not take order forms to work, if our kids are selling a product it's on them to sell. Brock would go door to door to sell, he even got a 90-year-old lady to buy some. She couldn't eat popcorn but was impressed that Brock took the time to sit with her on her front porch and talk to her. That's the kind of kid he was—very respectful and polite.

Guessing he didn't rape the 90-year-old probably toothless woman. Maybe it's because he was just a little kid and this is completely irrelevant to the case at hand. Maybe it was because she was conscious.

Our elementary school put on several programs over the years and the big one was the 6th grade musical. Brock's class did Oliver and he was chosen to play Bill Sykes, the bad guy. . . Brock wouldn't stop smiling. The teacher said he is supposed to be a mean guy and she could not get Brock to act mean. That's just him—a nice guy.

Right, a nice guy who later raped an intoxicated, completely unresponsive woman on the ground behind a Dumpster (and texted photos of her breasts to his friends and fled on foot when confronted). But maybe he did it "nicely?" Maybe he had that smile on his face the whole time. You know who else smiled a lot? Ted Bundy. Just saying.

This house now reminds me of the horror of that moment [referring to the phone call from Brock on January 18, 2015]. I have not decorated the house nor have I hung anything on the walls. I am a mom who loves family pictures but I haven't had the heart to put photos around of our family being happy. How can I? We will never be happy again. Those happy family ties are gone forever, replaced by despair, fear, depression, anxiety, doubt, and dread. I don't think I have been able to take a deep breath since this happened. My first thought upon wakening every morning is "this isn't real, this can't be real. Why him? Why HIM? WHY? WHY?" I have cried every single day since Jan. 18. . . He was a shy and awkward 19-year-old, far away from home trying to fit in with the swimmers he idolized. He is the most trust-worthy and honest person I know. He was telling the truth.

Lady, if your son—who raped an unconscious woman—said he thought it was consensual, and lied in court about previous alcohol and drug use is the "most trust-worthy and honest person" you know, you need to meet some new people. Maybe consider meeting the victim, the woman whose life your son ruined. In all the wailing of "Why him?" not even one little "Why her?"

Then that awful, horrible, terrible, gut-wrenching, life-changing verdict was read. I know what a broken heart feels like.

The verdict was true. Look, it is heartbreaking that your son turned out like this, but don't you ever think the victim knows a little more about what a broken heart feels like. Hi, remember your son's victim?

This verdict has destroyed us. Brock is a shattered and broken shell of the person he used to be. My once vibrant and happy boy is distraught, deeply depressed, terribly wounded, and filled with despair. His smile is gone forever-that beautiful grin is no more. When I look into his eyes I see fear and anguish. . . He is crushed that the jury ruled against him.

Oh, boy. Can someone show this woman the word "perspective" in the dictionary?

Please send him a message that his life still has meaning, that you believe in him. Please give him hope. His life is forever impacted and drastically altered by the ramifications of these guilty verdicts. Ohio is one of the strictest states with the sexual offender registry. Brock will have to register at the highest tier which means he is on the same level as pedophile/child molester. There is no differentiation. . . Your honor, please be kind and merciful to my beautiful son. He is suffering and will continue to pay for this for his entire entire lifetime.

Still reading? Or have you gone completely apoplectic and passed out? That would be understandable. But just think of how your passing out might affect poor Brock! Don't do this to him, since he obviously thinks he's the victim here.


Little girl's adoption hearing becomes real-life fairy tale when Disney princesses arrive.

On June 8th, five-year-old Danielle Koning got a fairy tale ending with some help from fairy tale characters at her adoption finalization hearing. Sarah and Jim Koning of Grand Rapids, Michigan finalized Danielle's adoption after fostering her since 2014, and Danielle's case worker and the adoption staff members collaborated on making Danielle's special day even special-er by dressing up as some of her favorite characters.

Caseworker Kristina Grey got the idea to surprise Danielle, who like many five-year-olds (and millennials) is obsessed with Disney movies. She asked a fellow caseworker if she would mind dressing up as Cinderella, Danielle's favorite princess, and other adoption workers wanted to participate.

Danielle got to meet Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, Cinderella, Prince Charming, Ariel, Elsa, and Snow White.

The princesses proudly watched Danielle and her family "make it official."

Even the judge got in on the action, and Danielle got to bang the gavel with Judge Snow White.

A smile and a song.

“I think it’s really important to make that adoption day special for every kid in whatever capacity you can,” Sarah Koning told ABC News.

Congrats to the Konings!

There's a lot of advice from less-than-satisfied women who have come up with their own strategies on how to get their low-drive men to meet their needs.

1. In the face of being the one with the high sex drive, Monjara defers to her less libidinous man's schedule (with the help of a few robots).

I am always up for it, he is not. I just have sex when he wants to. He has however showed me the magical world of masturbation and has bought me several wonderful machines who will do the job when he's unable. It's pretty neat.

2. figsteav2 is in a similar position, but doesn't sit idly by.

I don't wait for him to start. I take control and once I do that, he realizes he's pretty damn horny too and then we rock out. I think about it like this: when I'm hungry and at work and can't eat immediately, my stomach grumbles but then I get distracted and forget I'm hungry. Once I come home and open the door and smell the hamburgers that are cooking my brain goes 'STARVING. MUST FEED!' Same for sex. He may not be horny but you stick your mouth on some interesting places and all of a sudden brain goes 'HORNY. MUST FUCK!'

Before everyone out there just starts unzipping pants, heed mambo_matt's response as a warning:

I'm a male and my SO has a horrible sex drive. I tried this once and it just turned into a fight.

3. Valheol uses science to optimize his efforts.

I track my wife's ovulation cycle. The female libido is highest when they ovulate. It lasts for about 3-5 days. In other days I turn up the compassion, love, consideration and empathy which keeps it going. Basically, don't fuck it up!

4. IhadtofindAusername puts sex on her Google calendar.

Scheduled fornication.

Every Tuesday and Saturday is happy day. Usually in the evenings after the kids have gone to bed. It might appear boring, but it is surprisingly calming. There are no surprises, but there are also no nagging, resentment or expectations. At least for us.

5. Here's what notadestination does because she knows she'll never be in the mood as often as her man.

Typically, barring a week or so during the month, I simply don't get horny. While he is up for it more often than not (every other day or so). So we've worked on what turns me on... Vibrators when I'm up for it, but my body isn't yet, reading when I know he'll be in the mood for it to start getting myself ready, and lowering stress and anxiety helps extend the length of time I'll stay in the mood. It doesn't quite even the playing field, but it gets it a hell of a lot closer.

6. This is the touching advice from appropriately named CancerFaceEww, who explains how he keeps things alive after losing lots of weight and obtaining serious facial scars from his recent bout with cancer.

It can be a real minefield. My wife married this big, heavy dude but now I'm super thin and my face is a bit fucked up from cancer. She's had to jettison pretty much everything she was attracted to and accept the post-treatment 'me'. The only way we got through all this is by communicating openly and honestly.

To be fair I know she'd like it to be the way it was but there's absolutely nothing I can do about it. I'll never gain weight again, never get my teeth back I had to lose, never fix these scars and wounds. It's the me that cancer left and it's who I am now.

She's been great about it all though. I'm far too lucky. Just last night we were in bed and my bottom denture popped out right in the middle of things. I. Was. Horrified. I started to retreat in shame and she pulled me back with "That's not stopping anything" and she went on like nothing happened. That's why we've been married 20 years, she knows to share the load when it gets heavy. She let me feel good instead of shame and that meant the world in that moment.

I make up for it in other ways. Compensating I guess is what you would call it. I've learned to really cook and I make her very nice meals and elegant desserts. Bring her lunch, make sure her car is super clean. Beat her to unloading the dishwasher, stuff like that.

Anyway, talk it out OP. It's not always going to be something you can overcome but it's not insurmountable either.

7. Zoe346 reminds herself to create a mood for her dude.

What I like to do that helps him get in a relaxed mindset is light some candles, play an album of Explosions in the Sky and give him a full body massage. :)

8. If Family Feud were to ask how couples should deal with differing libidos, anyone who has ever read Cosmo would say, "Show Me 'Communication!'" Of course this is the way to deal with sex (and any other) relationship issue, but as billbapapa put it...

Talk a lot to each other. I end up 'settling' for HJs quite often, but that tides me over and honestly keeps me really happy especially given I know she's doing it to make me happy / cause she cares. And then I make sure I more than pay her back when I catch her in a situation where she is 'in the mood'. On top of that, the fact we're open about things means I don't feel anymore (I did when things first sort of slowed down) like she's not interested (in it or me) or that I'm doing something wrong. Communication!

9. This one is going to piss some people off, but freedom of speech begs the inclusion of CherryBlossomStorm's solution.

I just have sex with him, even if I'm not horny. Just grab the lube and we're good to go. [for fuck's sake] it's not that complicated if he's horny I should let him have me... I like the warmth and the closeness and hearing his moans and knowing I'm making him feel good, basically no matter WHAT kind of mood I'm in.

10. AllEncompassingThey has just decided to live with the lack of a sex life, resenting his girlfriend and hating himself.

Coming from having sex a couple times a week in the past - even the distant past - to having sex once every 5-8 weeks is... well, it's different.

She mostly seems uninterested, and often seems annoyed when I try to initiate, so I basically almost never try to initiate anymore.

Actually, it's been driven into my mind so firmly that "she doesn't want it" that even on the rare occasions when she does initiate things, I still get the strong feeling it's forced on her end - like she's doing me a favor or something. The fact that the feeling of rejection lingers even when I'm not being rejected takes a lot of the enjoyment away.

Blowjobs are rare, and when they happen, they last maybe a minute or two because she hates giving them, and it's really not much fun anyway when the reluctance is so obvious.

Even something like wanting to change positions in bed while having sex will often be met with an "ugh, no." I don't know if it's because one requires more physical exertion than another, or what, but that's what happens.

My semen might as well be hot lead, and gets "that's gross" kind of comments.

So we don't have sex often, we don't really talk much about sex (conversations about it seem stressful) and I pretty much have no idea what turns her on or what (if anything) she wants in bed because we are intimate so rarely and talk about it so infrequently. I mean, something will get brought up sometimes, but... If you do something one time every 5-8 weeks, that's not a lot of "practice," you know?

At this point we're basically like good friends who hang out during the day and give each other chaste kisses occasionally. We've been together for over two years.

I am genuinely attracted to her, but I have never felt so unattractive and unwanted in a relationship in my life.

Edit: We are not married. We do not live together. I do not support her financially.

Ugh.

11. If you go through the whole forum, you're going to find A LOT of posts about men complaining that their sex lives just ain't what they used to be after the honeymoon. GoshDarnBatman sums up his solution succinctly.

Masturbate a lot

Hell yeah, dude: take matters into your own hands. There's nothing less sexy to a woman than having to explain for the five millionth time why she doesn't want to bone. NomadsFireWok seconds the opinion:

That's what I do. I love my wife, and myher libido is not nearly as high as mine. She's willing to "suck it up" and have sex or give blowjobs when she's not in the mood, but I feel really selfish when she does that (even though she insists I shouldn't). So, I masturbate. I honestly don't understand why it's that big a deal.

12. And, when all else fails, do what Never_up_vote did.

We just recently decided to go with divorce. Sucks but is what it is.

Here are 8 alternative uses for tampons that people have actually tried.

If you thought tampons were just to keep you from bleeding all over yourself during that time of the month, then congrats: you are normal. However, there are some people who saw the potential in these little cylindrical cotton wads and decided it was time for the tampon to shine, baby, shine! Sure, not everyone is super comfortable discussing something designed to sit up in a woman's vagina for many hours absorbing her menses, but you have to give tampons more credit. These eight people found alternative uses for tampons that you can utilize any time of the month.

1. They can be used in harmless pranks.

2. And some not-so-harmless pranks.

Last month, popular YouTube prankster Brad Holmes allegedly pranked his saint of a girlfriend by rubbing a red hot chili pepper (not the band) on her tampon and filming her reaction to noticing that her lady bits had started burning with the intensity of 100 bottles of diablo sauce. The video caused a bit of an outrage on the Internet, with people everywhere accusing Holmes's prank of crossing the line from fun to abusive, and he took the video down amidst the backlash. There are also those who said the video must be fake, and no man could possibly be so darn evil. You can read all about it and the angry reactions from women here.

3. Of course, they are optimal nosebleed stoppers for those who aren't afraid of weird stares.

Sometimes you just got to put a tampon up your nose. #nosebleed #tampon #totallyworks

4. They could come in handy on camping trips, even when you don't have your period.

Some crafty outdoorsmen and women are really thinking outside the box (yes, that was a vagina joke) when it comes to unconventional uses for tampons. Almost like using the entire bull, these preppers are using the string, applicator, tampon and packaging to create some crude wilderness equipment, which is both bizarre and amazing. Mostly bizarre, though.

5. Blogger and author Jenny Gardiner has 76 uses for those unraveled tampons that are floating around on the bottom of your purse.

Quoted directly from her website, best selling author Jenny Gardiner has some, uh, creative ideas of how to repurpose a tampon that came out of an applicator and unraveled. In fact, she lists 76 alternative uses for tampons. Honestly, people will pretty much think you're a freak if you do most of these, but here is a sampling of the most interesting ones from the list. The whole list can be found here.

Christmas ornament

Pasties in a pinch

Toothbrush of last resort

Dab on pizza to absorb excess grease

Use to skim fat from surface of soup broth

Makes great parrot toy

Ideal for quick dusting of crumbs from moustache

Decorate bumpers of newlyweds car

Collect lots and use for confetti

Wrap with old tootsie roll wrapper and fool your friends when you offer them candy!

Soak in witch hazel, squeeze out, and press over puffy eyes

Glue several, end to end, leaving string on one end. paint camouflage earth tones, tease your sister with authentic fake snake

Pretend cigar

Pacifier/drool inhibitor for teething baby

Drop in outdoor fountain for “instant water lily”

Of course, the author must be kidding. Right? She wouldn't seriously suggest putting a tampon in a baby's mouth. Right? Humanity is doomed.

6. A few years back, Tampax turned to Facebook to ask if their users had any alternative uses for tampons. Turns out, they certainly do.

7. Tampon blow guns are a thing, apparently.

Yea, if you are the non-violent type but still want to pelt your enemies with feminine hygiene products, this is the weapon for you. There is an entire step by step tutorial on how to make one of these things on tamponcrafts.com. Yes, an entire website dedicated to using tampons to make crafts. You will never be bored again!

8. You could, but really shouldn't, use them to get drunk.

Danielle Crittenden, an author and contributor to The Huffington Post, decided to put to test the rumor that you can get very drunk by inserting a a vodka-soaked tampon up your vagina. Now, this is a very stupid thing to do, so please, for all that is holy, do not try this at home. Or in a gas station bathroom. Or anywhere. After hearing about Crittenden's experience with it, you probably wouldn't want to anyway. Here is a particularly horrifying snippet, but the whole piece can be read here.

I repaired to the bathroom and -- without too much information here -- managed to wad the thing up and push it in where it was supposed to go. (Did it help that I've had three kids? Possibly.) Girls, don't do this in your best party dresses: I think I lost another half-ounce in the process as it splattered on to my clothes and the floor. No need to say "Bottoms up!"

Reaction:

Oh sweet mother of Jeez----

Owwwwww.....

Absolut... firewater!!!!!!! Holy sheeeeeeeee...

It felt like someone had thrown a lit match in there. I began hopping around and breathing in the rapid, short puffs I'd learned in birth classes, so long ago, before I realized I didn't need to breathe like that if I took the epidural.

I could really use a frikkin epidural right now.

The burning didn't let up. How long was I supposed to leave it there?!

Like sitting in Satan's lap.

After all that, Crittenden also rendered the tampon in vodka experiment completely ineffective. All that vaginal burning for nothing! Bummer.

Basically, sure, you can get really creative with how you chose to use your tampons. Should you though? Eh, probably not.

China invited a reporter to hit their new glass bridge with a sledgehammer to prove it's safe. He proved something.

The newest fad in China is glass pedestrian bridges. The Chinese people love nothing more than walking over great heights while imagining their own deaths, apparently. Or maybe they just like laughing at the people who can't handle it. Either way, glass bridges keep being built in China, each one higher and longer than the last. This raises the inevitable question: Is it safe?

The longest glass bridge in the world is set to open next month in Zhangjiajie, and the builders are eager to prove that visitors have nothing to be worried about. That's why they invited BBC Click reporter Dan Simmons to stand on the bridge above a sample panel of glass, and go to town on it with a sledgehammer. But the result may not have been what they were looking for:

OK, so in a sense, the experiment was a success. Although Simmons' first blow shattered the glass, he was unable to structurally compromise the underlying layers even after he let loose on it dozens of times. But that won't stop this video from making people who see it want to puke from terror. And is it really good press for this bridge to show it splintering instantly like a drunk college student's iPhone screen?

Imagine if people were on that bridge and it cracked like that? Would they really care about the physics of its structural integrity? Or would they stampede to the other side, trampling each other like frightened elephants? That's the problem with glass bridges—everyone wants to give them a shot, but nobody is actually ready to accept death.

Beauty blogger calls out makeup artist Jeffree Star for sexist, racist rants.

When Jeffree Star called out Kylie Jenner for her crappy lip glosses back in April, the world rejoiced, named Star its makeup-adorned savior, and all but threw him a parade for taking on Jenner and her giant lips. Now one beauty blogger is calling him out for some shitty behavior in a 40-minute long, anti-Jeffree video that makes Star's takedown of Jenner look like he sang her a lullaby.

Get ready for some shade, and no, that doesn't mean a good contour.

Beauty blogger Stephanie Nicole is known for her super honest and detailed reviews of makeup products and brands, which amassed her a loyal fanbase. In her new video, she spends the first 20 minutes talking about how much she dislikes Jeffree's products, and the last 20 minutes talking about how much she dislikes Jeffree himself. Girl did her research. Citing incidents from 10 years ago up until the present, she brings up his sexist and racist language complete with screenshots, videos, and pictures. She is more prepared to take down Jeffree in this video than you ever were to give an oral presentation in high school. Grab a snack and put on your Snuggie, because this is going to be a long one.

So far Jeffree has not responded to Stephanie Nicole's video, and all of his social media accounts are being used to drum up support for the victim's of the deadly shooting in Orlando over the weekend. Well, that seems like a very nice thing to do. What are we to believe anymore!?

Although Stephanie said she expected a lot of backlash in the video, many of her fans are praising her for calling out Jeffree when everyone else was too afraid to.

As someone who was witness to Jeffree in the peak of his MySpace days (I've even kept the super edgy~ song lyric username as a memento lol), I want to applaud you for bringing JS's behaviour to light. You're right about 10 years of shitty behaviour - when he first popped up onto the makeup scene I refused to support him due to the disgusting way he acted as a musician and "scene queen". Back in the day he would throw the c and n-words around like confetti and I am not surprised at all that he continues to act like a brat. While some people I know like his products, I will never support his brand as I don't like supporting bratty, misogynistic racists. Thanks for bringing some truth to YouTube, it's sad how other gurus are in his back pocket.

Tessa Lynn, one of many other supporters, echoed the sentiment:

A classmate and I have been discussing him and his brand the past few weeks (the first thing we do every week before class is compare notes on the lipstick we're wearing). She told me a few weeks ago that even though she loves his lipsticks, she's not supporting him anymore because of who he is as a person (we're social work majors so this kind of racist and sexist stuff is pretty important to us). I've already linked her to this video. Thank you so much for your honest reviews. There are other you tubers I used to love, but not as much anymore now that I've come across your honest reviews. Can't wait for your next video!

What is happening in this GIF?

Although Star's makeup is highly coveted and often sold out, consumers might think twice before shelling out the big bucks for it now that they know he said some pretty shitty things over the past decade. Or maybe they won't, because apparently those new highlights he just released are amazing.
