Kayla Butcher is a 24-year-old telemarketer and self-described "funky haired lady" from Winsor, Ontario, who has documented her impressive 186 pound weight loss on Instagram over the past year. 186 pounds is like a full grown man. I've lost one of those before and I know it feels great! I'll be here all week, folks!

In addition to changing her diet and exercising, Butcher underwent gastric bypass surgery in February of 2016, which she says helped her lose weight because it forced her to quit her "drug of choice cold turkey." She looks amazing and happy:

But though her health and happiness seem to have skyrocketed, she still struggles with a downside of extreme weight loss: loose skin.

Butcher calls the ring of loose skin around her belly her "apron" and said the "next chapter" in her weight loss process is to work on removing it.

But this gets expensive. Although her gastric bypass surgery was covered by the Canadian government, cosmetic surgery to remove loose skin is not. To remove the excess skin from her arms, legs, stomach and breasts could cost her upwards of $20,000. Yikes.

So Butcher is appealing to the kindness of strangers, by starting a GoFundMe page to help cover the costs. On the page, she outlines her whole weight loss journey and explains why she needs financial help:

Hi,
My name is Kayla Butcher and I am looking for any help I can get to allow me to get my excess skin removal surgeries done.
Let me tell you a little about myself, I am 24 years old and I work full time at a call center . I had Roux en y gastric bypass surgery on February 8th, 2016. I topped the scale at 376.5 pounds before surgery. I am down to 191 pounds. I am not done yet. I am so incredibly proud of myself and how far I have come.
Unfortunately even after losing 185 pounds I am now left with excessive loose skin that will need surgery to fix. It is considered a cosmetic surgery and is not covered.
It is very emotionally difficult to deal with, finally being freed from the weight I've carried since I was a child but still feeling trapped inside a body that constantly reminds me of the lifetime of pain and struggle. Wearing clothes is more difficult and being intimate is even more so daunting than before. Things like wearing swimsuits. I have started saving here and there myself but need some help.
I left a very unhealthy home environment at 16 years old and have been doing it on my own since. I am momma Bear to the rest of my siblings and friends. I do all I can on a regular basis to help others in need and I am now asking for some help in return. No one's life is easy that's for sure, however I have struggled to get by at this point and it would take me years to save for these surgeries on my own. I have become a really big inspiration for alot of people and keep being asked to make a go fund me so people can help out, any donations are greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much, sending all my love from this funky haired lady!

In the past week, she's already raised $2,075 of her $10k goal. Get it, girl!

Hey, have you ever been browsing one of your favorite illuminated manuscripts from the Medieval period and noticed that there happen to be a lot of doodles of knights fighting snails in the margins? Of course! We've all obviously been there!

Well,Vox made a video exploring the possible explanations for these bizarre illustrations, and the reason behind them might be more petty than you think.

If you thought that horse-sized snails roamed the Earth hundreds of years ago and knights had to battle them in order to save their villages from slime, you are sadly mistaken.

Although it is hard to find a concrete reason for the existence of these snail drawings, Scholar Lilian Randall theorizes that they represent the Lombards, a Germanic people who invaded Italy, and that the illustrations are meant to mock them. So basically these were some Medieval memes, and the illustrators were just trolling people. Guess we haven't changed so much after all!

Women have learned to be wary of self-proclaimed "nice guys," and for good reason. One Reddit user recently posted a long, rambling letter she received from an acquaintance in the r/niceguys subreddit, asking her to leave her long-term boyfriend for him.

In the comments on the post, the woman clarified that she'd moved across the country with her boyfriend of three years and began working at a restaurant. About a month later, one of her new co-workers, a guy she'd become friendly with, handed her this letter.

The letter is pretty much just a jumble of nonsense, but basically, her new "nice guy" co-worker was writing to explain to her why he was better for her than her boyfriend.

While this very... um, poetic (?)letter is admittedly a little difficult to decipher, poopsie_doodle did her best to transcribe it for the wider Reddit audience to enjoy.

Here's what it says:

[Redacted]

courage, ill-timed, quickly becomes foolishness so, for nigh on a year, i have fallen upon my boulder-stubborn conundrum as a river. now, however, i feel I may be close to losing some, if not all, of the brilliant words and precious laughter which vibrate so shapely from within my [Redacted] choicest mornings. so here, legs tensed for the leap and breath held for the fall, I am prepared to move boulders, any mountains worth if youll let me.

you say [Redacted] is what you need right now. shame be on me for not crying out my objection instantly. that fortress of reason has given you much but, i do not believe he has anything more to offer. i believe his stasis, perfect for the [Redacted] of three years ago, can but only become your stasis. i offer you no argument against your need to steadfast Reason But, his is a cornerstone from some city structure, It's pressure-washed and rectilinear.

[Redacted] i have spent the worthwhile part of my life attaining to stillness so that here, searching for the peace inside the tempest, I may offer those years, those hours, to you. i offer you my fungus and graffiti, my vermiculate core and the cicatrix across my skin in exchange for your magenta-rare ruins and, your obsidian-thick umbrage, for the paise of your storms steam-blanched skirt and the wilderness of its center.

lay your vines across my side and let me hold you safe, but only that you may swing free through the wilds of the sky be on my team, and i will be your champion. give me your evenings i will rub your feet until you fall asleep as often as you'll let me [Redacted] before and after everything, lay down this garden bed, that we may grow our antiquated magic.

at your pleasure,

[Redacted]

Um. What? Are those even sentences? Why is he offering her his "fungus and graffiti?" Is that some kind of gross euphemism?

For those saying to themselves, "Ugh and she has to WORK with this guy?!" Never fear. Poopsie_doodle also posted an update saying that she's spoken to her manager about the letter. He let her go home so she wouldn't have to work a shift with this guy, and he's going to talk to him about the letter, with her permission.

Guys. Please. If you're going to write girls weird letters asking them to leave their long-term partners, at least write them weird letters that make a little bit of sense.

Actually, no. Just don't write girls weird letters.

If you're a fan of seeing poorly-adjusted manchildren lash out at women while pretending they're being chivalrous, r/niceguys is the subreddit for you. Women flock to this message board to share examples of self-proclaimed "nice guys" revealing themselves as total psychos.

Today's example is a perfect illustration of this phenomenon. Redditor octopusfreak uploaded a text conversation she had with a man, along with the caption, "Decided to let this guy I'd been out with twice down easy, instead of fading out or ghosting. Instant regret." It definitely makes ghosting seem like a better option.

Here are the texts in closeup:

Can you imagine what he would have texted if she had ghosted him? Some guys just won't let you break it off without watching them self-destruct first.

Today I bring you this maybe-news about your favorite family to hate obsessing over: Kylie Jenner may have broken up with her long-term boyfriend, Tyga. Fans think the couple, who have been together (on and off and on and off) for about two years, broke up because of one tiny detail in a Snapchat Kylie posted of her and her BFF Jordyn Woods at dinner last night.

Fans noticed that in the pic, Kylie's left hand is bare. Usually, the model wears a whopping rock the size of my whole apartment on her left hand. It's a promise ring Tyga gave her last year:

To answer your question, Kylie, I think your engagement ring would look something like this:

I have a few questions if they did, in fact, break up: does this have anything to do with Blac Chyna (who has a child with Tyga as well as a child with Kylie Jenner's half-brother Rob Kardashian, got that?) ranting on Snapchat yesterday about Tyga not paying child support? Also does Kylie get to keep the $200,000 Mercedez Maybach Tyga bought her for her 19th birthday last August? And did they ever get to have that threesome?

Also, why do I care????? And since you read this far, clearly you care too. But why????

Maybe we'll never know.

"What happened to the main man himself, Mr. James Van Der Beek?"

James Van Der Beek appeared on This Morning with Phillip & Holly, and was welcomed with a roast.

After listing his Dawson Creek's co-star's ample accomplishments—Michelle Williams's four Oscar nominations, Joshua Jackson's gig on premium cable—host Phillip Schofield pitched "the Beek" like he's been a J.D. Salinger-ing recluse ever since.

Schofield clearly isn't a fan of Don't Trust the B— in Apartment 23, which you need to fix, Philip.

James van der Beek has been busy over the past twenty years, people. He doesn't want to wait for his life to be over.

Sometimes I envy celebrities but sometimes I feel sorry for them. Especially when I hear about their diets. I have a voracious sweet tooth. So this story about Jennifer Aniston receiving a piñata on her birthday that was empty because of her dietary restrictions breaks my mini-Snickers-loving heart.

Rachel from Friends Aniston recently spent her birthday in Cabo San Lucas with her husband, Justin Theroux, and her BFF Courtney Cox. And the story starts out super-cute. "We do special things. I did a little night for her birthday where we went to a special dinner and had a piñata," Theroux told E! News.

But then, things took a tragic turn.

"Actually, we didn't put anything in the piñata," he said. "We had a piñata and didn't end up smashing. What are you going to put in it? Kale? She doesn't eat candy!"

Justin Theroux did admit that a piñata full of kale would be a terrible thing, and then jokingly suggested trying it out for a kid's birthday. "Watch 20 10-year-olds cry," he said. Ha ha ha. Ha.

Aniston has revealed what her diet consists of, and it definitely doesn't leave room for candy. "It's pretty clear: eat as much organic fruits and veggies as you can, keep sugar [intake] low, drink tons and tons of water, and get good sleep," she said last year.

I GUESS that sounds reasonable. But on her BIRTHDAY though???

Sure, I know some people have it much, much worse than candy-deprived Jennifer Aniston. And her dietary restrictions are technically a choice. But just imagine this: it's your birthday. You see a beautiful, tantalizing, brightly-colored piñata dangling from the ceiling, full of promise and possibility. But inside there is not one baby Snickers. Zero tiny Twizzlers. Bite-sized Butterfingers? Not a one.

It's devastating. How can she ever recover from this? How can WE ever recover from this?

Finally, we do not have to choose between Beyoncé or cheese. For so long, this choice has divided our society. Enemies have been created, wars have been fought, and families have broken up over this difficult choice, but now, one man has united us all by creating a statue of Beyoncé from 40 lbs. of cheddar cheese. God bless us, every one.

The artist's name is David Bradley and his beautiful contribution to this earth is called "Brie-oncé." It's a misleading pun, as the statue is actually made of cheddar, but who cares? Bradley has saved us from ourselves by creating peace that can cross boarders and be understood in any language. Of course, there were many Beyoncé's to choose from, but Bradley chose wisely when he decided to replicate the image of Beyoncé with twins:

Damn, can you imagine doing something with cheese other than slicing it into pieces that fit in your mouth (and sometimes you are even too lazy to do that)?

Bradley brought the statue into this world for the East Village Cheese and Wine Festival in London, Mic reports, and assisting him in the dairy endeavor was food sculptor Jacqui Kelly and "food art experts" at The Robin Collective. On Saturday, he'll also be competing in a cheese carving competition, during which I personally hope he carves Jay-Z. All in all, I'm just grateful that I can finally start talking to my sister again after the great "Beyoncé Or Cheese?" argument of 2014 (I will never disclose who chose what, as the hatchet has officially been buried which the creation of "Brie-oncé").

Some days I wake up feeling like the world is mostly a benevolent place and that humans are fundamentally good. Other days I wake up thinking, "trust no one." This is one of those stories that will make you realize why those "trust no one" days happen.

I truly wish I knew the backstory to this text conversation, but all I know is Michael texts a number that he thinks is Crystal, telling her to stop spreadin' info about his peen.

So, Crystal's out there telling the world that Michael's got a small dick and Michael just wants her to stop! But Crystal acts like she has no clue what's going on and insinuates that she's seen a lot of tiny penises lately by adding "you could literally be like 10 people." Some might say she is high on power.

The tone of Michael's texts seem genuinely pleading as he asks Crystal to not spread any information about his dick whatsoever, not even lies about it being big. He just wants some good old fashioned mystique surrounding what he's working with.

If you haven't lost faith in humanity by this part of the story, well, good for you. I'm feeling pretty bummed. We don't even know if that's really Crystal! Plus, one of these two suckers sold out and took screenshots of this, for some sad reason. That is, unless my theory that people are doctoring fake text conversations to create viral content is true. Is there any way to know? In any case, I got this information from Elite Daily.

This just in: Former Trump advisor Mike Flynn wins Snitch Of The Year award for offering to testify about the Republicans' contact with Russia, as long as he's granted immunity from prosecution. (Hint: That mean's he's probably committed some crimes he doesn't want to go to jail for.)

The statement, which was issued on Thursday night by Flynn's lawyer, doesn't list specific terms, the New York Times reports, but includes that "no reasonable person, who has the benefit of advice from counsel, would submit to questioning in such a highly politicized, witch-hunt environment without assurances against unfair prosecution."

And while experts have cautioned onlookers from reading too much into Flynn's demand for immunity, we know that Flynn at least had several phone conversations with a Russian ambassador last year, and that he misled White House officials about that fact. And obviously, the first thing Twitter is going to do is read into it. Here are some of the funniest initial reactions to the news that Flynn is ready to 'fess up, provided he doesn't have to suffer for it.

Vacations can get expensive, especially if you are a broke college student who just wants to get sloshed and lay out by the pool. Luckily, viewers ofTheTonight Show with Jimmy Fallontweeted their best advice for having fun on a budget using the hashtag #SpringBroke. But we don't necessarily suggest that you take any of it.

Check it out:

Ah yes, grab your 13 best friends, that "Dan Drobner" fake ID, and relax with a nice cold carpet beer or "mojitoid" before you decided that you are officially too old for this sh*t.

Spring break, baby!

Late Thursday night, President Donald Trump tweeted about the "full potential of women in our society." If Donald Trump only read the news, he'd know that Donald Trump isn't the best politician to deliver that message.

"Only by enlisting the full potential of women in our society will we be truly able to #MakeAmericaGreatAgain"

Alongside his tweet came a video of the president waxing poetic on the "grit" and "courage" of American women. As he recited his speech on women's empowerment, the camera lingered on a bowl of flowers.

As with any time Donald Trump tweets a cookie-cutter comment about the potential of women, women were quick to remind him of his lewd remarks to former "Access Hollywood" host Billy Bush and a host of other inappropriate comments he's made about them. In other words, people grabbed him by the phony tweets and refused to let go.

It's prom season, bringing with it excited teens, fancy dresses, and the inevitable instances of discrimination against members of the LGBTQ community. On Wednesday, high school junior Paula Goodgame tweeted a screenshot of a message she got from her guidance counselor just a week before prom, letting her know that she wouldn't be allowed to bring her girlfriend Anjali Persad as her date. The message, which for some reason included a smiley face (?), suggested that she try to get a male friend to invite her girlfriend instead. What the?

Goodgame's tweet has since gone viral, with people on Twitter sharing their outrage at the situation.

Paula Goodgame attends a Catholic school, and according to their prom guidelines, dates cannot be of the same sex. However, being a new student at the school, Goodgame was not aware of the (completely archaic) rule.

She told BuzzFeed,

There are other gay people at the school, and a couple of the students there have gay parents. No one really expected this to come about, especially me and my friends. My family and my best friend's family is Catholic and they're supportive of what I do because they believe in "love thy neighbor" despite who that "neighbor" is.

As of now, Paula Goodgame says she will go to Anjali Persad's prom (she attends a different school), but she's not sure about her own. Speaking to BuzzFeed she said, "If [Anjali Persad] can't go to my prom, then that prom is not worth going to. You're supposed to have that whole 'magical' night with someone special, ya know? It wouldn't be worth it without her."

At this point, we all know the Carpool Karaoke drill— a celebrity rides shotgun while James Corden drives, the two of them belt out some hits (but James will always belt louder), and before you know it, you've wasted 15 minutes of your workday on YouTube.

However, the latest edition of Carpool Karaoke featuring Victoria Beckham from Thursday night's episode of The Late Late Show majorly mixed up the segment's fool-proof formula, and we don't know what to believe anymore.

Check it out:

Instead of the classic Carpool Karaoke format we are all used to, Victoria Beckham and James Corden made a trailer for a fake reboot of the 1987 film Mannequin, where Beckham play's Kim Cattrall's part and Corden steps into Andrew McCarthy's role. As the video says, this is certainly a reboot that "no one asked for."

At the end of the video, the two do get into some karaoke— for about 30 seconds. At least they picked a killer song, although the '90s hit is not exactly in line with the '80s motif.

What do you think of this version of Carpool Karaoke?

On Thursday night, Victoria Beckham, who was once the Spice Girls' Posh Spice, appeared with James Corden in his Late Late Show's Carpool Karaoke segment. Only it wasn't the normal style Carpool Karaoke—instead it was a trailer for a totally fake reboot of the 1987 movie Mannequin.

Neverheless, according to The Sun, Spice Girl Mel B., a.k.a. Scary Spice) is "livid" that Victoria Beckham performed Spice Girls songs in the brief Carpool Karaoke clip, especially because Beckham shunned the band's recent reunion. Mel B. is also apparently peeved that Beckham is using Spice Girls songs in the campaign for her Target collaboration.

A source told The Sun:

Mel is livid Victoria is all of a sudden embracing her Spice Girls past after years of trying to distance herself from the band. She was desperate for the girls to go on a very lucrative reunion tour to celebrate their music with millions of fans. But once Posh pulled out, the idea began to crumble leaving the members of the band who were keen to perform having no choice but to ditch it. Mel feels it’s unfair Victoria is now using their music to boost her own profile.

When you put it that way, what gives, Posh? According to Melanie Chisolm, aka Sporty Spice Mel C., Victoria Beckham bowed out of the reunion because of the demands of her fashion label as well as her family life.

So who knows. Hopefully, these Spice Women will get it all figured out, without things getting too—wait for it—spicy.

While every job might not seem hardcore at first, it all comes down to branding: Accountants are freaks in the sheets. Photographers shoot people. The clergy are keepers of the dead.

It's been almost 13 years since Friendswent off the air, but if you're anything like me, you're probably still quoting Chandler Bing one-liners all the time. Everyone has a favorite Chandler joke, even Chandler himself (aka Matthew Perry). Perry was on Good Morning America on Thursday, where he shared his all-time favorite Chandler-ism.

Matthew Perry's favorite Friends joke is from the Season 2 episode, "The One With Ross' New Girlfriend." The character Joey (played by Matt LeBlanc) is talking to Chandler about his family's longtime tailor. Here's the exchange:

JOEY: You should go see Frankie, my family’s been going to him forever. He did my first suit when I was 15... No, wait, 16. No, excuse me, 15. When was 1990?

CHANDLER: Okay, you have to stop the Q-Tip when there's resistance!

Ahh, memories. Who else is now planning to spend their weekend holed up watching old episodes of Friends?
