Woman fights "makeup shaming" by revealing what it looks like when she only does half her face.

A makeup vlogger applied a half face of "full-on glam" makeup while leaving the other half what she described as "raw, unedited, nothing me."

YouTuber NikkieTutorials says she was inspired to make this video because of "makeup shaming." She explains in the video:

I've been noticing a lot lately that girls have been almost ashamed to say that they love makeup, cause nowadays when you say you love makeup you either do it because you wanna look good for boys, you do it because you're insecure, or you do it because you don't love yourself. I feel like in a way lately it's almost a crime to love doing your makeup.

What if you do it because society makes you feel like it's unacceptable to go to work, socialize, or generally leave your house and interact with people without makeup? Is that also a crime, or is it legal? Please advise.

She also cited some extremely rude people who she hangs out with:

I notice a lot that when I don't wear makeup and I have my hair up in a bun, and I meet people, and I show them pictures of my videos, or whatever looks I have done, they look at me and straight up tell me, 'That is not you.' They tell me that's funny, because I don't even look like that girl on the picture.

Sounds like you're meeting some horrible people, NikkieTutorials. And the reactions described here could also be used to argue that the pressure to wear extensive makeup all the time confuses people about what actual women look like. You know, if someone wanted to make that argument.

For context to the anecdote about the asshole people, here is how she looks in her most recent video:

For a video that's supposed to be empowering, Nikkie spends a lot of time in "The Power of MAKEUP!" explaining what she doesn't like about her body (eyebrows, eyes, double chin) and how she can hide her flaws. She even says at one point, "Contouring is my religion." I think that religion would require getting up too early before work, so it's probably not for me. But it's definitely cool to see half of a face look one way and half another.

Would you describe this terrier as "a dog riding a tricycle" or "a dog indulging humans?"

If you put a dog on a bicycle and it rolls down a hill, does it know what's happening?

Barry the dog was once a skateboarder, but he's now graduated to the tricycle. Or his owners have graduated to putting him on a tricycle instead of a skateboard. He does sit very cutely on the seat there, looking kind of zen as he gently rolls off into the sunset, but I don't know that I'd call him a bike "rider."

In the YouTube description the truth comes out:

His owner Wayne, 29, explains: "One day we had a skateboard out and he started playing with it. We were just playing and we put him on the skateboard and he loved it, so we started gently pushing him on it and it just went from there." The adventurous dog soon set himself the much harder challenge of riding a trike. Wayne says that the family were outside playing with Barry one day when they spotted the trike and decided to see if he would sit on it. "And when we moved away he just carried on sitting there and we thought 'What's going on here?'" The couple take the precaution of helping Barry steer the bike with two lines of fishing wire.

Aha! When there are no strings attached, it's riding. Barry can't pass any steering challenges on his own, unfortunately. Still a pretty adorable dog though.

New film footage of Amelia Earhart right before her disappearance.

Newly released film footage shows Amelia Earhart hanging out on top of an airplane, walking around a tarmac, and basically just being Amelia Earhart.

The footage had been lost since 1937, the year it was taken, and is now being released along with an e-book called Amelia Earhart's Last Photo Shoot. The subtitle could be, but is not, That's Because Right After This She Disappeared Mysteriously And No One Really Knows What Happened But People Have Their Theories. The author, Nicole Swinford, thinks the footage was taken at Burbank Airport in May 1937, just a few days before Earhart attempted her around-the-world trip.

Almost 80 years after Earhart's disappearance, a lot of questions remain. Like, what exactly happened after she departed New Guinea in her Lockheed Electra L-10E? Did changes to the plane's antenna interfere with her ability to communicate? And could Amelia Earhart be any cooler? We may never know.

Zoo worker fired for Instagram post about "rude a** white people" she deals with at her job.

Rochelle Robinson has lost her job, but not her spirit, after posting a questionable selfie to Instagram.


Oh, no.(via The Daily Dot)

If you've ever worked in the service industry, you know it's quite true that you will be interacting with a large number of very rude white people. Rude people absolutely exist amongst all races, but white people frequently exhibit the most exhilarating combination of entitlement and self-involvement that can make waiting on them a nightmare. I once had a white lady watch me burn myself horribly with soup and, instead of asking if I was okay, said, "That reminds me, the special soup yesterday was lukewarm."

Ms. Robinson was working her job at the Brookfield Zoo and decided to take a selfie. Sometimes a few likes can carry you through the day, right? Along with her post she wrote the following:

"Wassup y'all? At work serving these rude ass white people."

While her friends might have just had a chuckle over her choice of caption or given a knowing sigh, Rochelle Robison also tagged the zoo, which meant anyone looking at photos of the place would see her photo. Then they'd think, "Hey, she's talking about me! I am OUTRAGED."

As you can imagine, everyone lost their shit:

HOPE THAT WOMAN IS FIRED. SHE IS A DISGRACE TO THE ZOO.

Posted by Pam Kouimelis on Tuesday, June 9, 2015

Well, she did get fired, duh. Even if her post wasn't inflammatory, you cannot ever publicly indicate that you don't enjoy your job without losing that job. After the local news picked up the story, the zoo posted this to their Facebook page:

Yesterday, we became aware of the actions of a single employee which we agree are unacceptable. This employee's...

Posted by Brookfield Zoo on Tuesday, June 9, 2015

There ya go. A 23-year-old woman is out of the job for her poor judgement and a pretty mild criticism of the daily disrespect she receives from white people. That was easy! Most of the comments are in support of the zoo, but there are a few in support of Robinson, giving a different perspective:


We hate looking at ourselves, gross!(via Brookfield Zoo)

The surprising reason people cheat on their spouses.

A study found a link between who makes more money in a marriage and infidelity.


"I love you, baby. Almost as much as I love these 5 C-notes! Ka-CHING!"(stock photo)

Everyone knows that money is the #1 reason married couples fight. As it turns out, it's also the reason they cheat on each other. New research published in the latest issue of The American Sociological Review indicates that both men and women are more likely to cheat if they make less money than their spouses.

If you're like me, this probably surprised you. I always assumed that whoever made more money was more likely to cheat, because they've got the power. But according to study author Christin Munch, Ph.D., it's just the opposite. He believes that people who make less money cheat as a form of passive-aggressive behavior against their partners and themselves, because they feel ashamed. "People don't like to feel dependent on another person," he says.

This trend is much stronger among men. In his study, women who were totally dependent on their husbands for money had a 5% chance of cheating within a given year, while men who were totally dependent on their wives had a 15% chance. Munch believes that for men, this is either an attempt to compensate for the emasculation they feel, or a self-loathing attempt to "punish or distance themselves" from their wives.


He sure looks like he's punishing himself.(stock photo)

Interestingly, the more money a woman makes relative to her husband, the less likely she is to cheat. Women who make 100% of the money within their marriage are the least likely to cheat of all, even though their husbands are the most likely. Munch says this is also due to male ego: "Women who earn more than their husbands do everything from increasing their housework to minimizing their own achievements to try to make their husbands feel less emasculated."

Men also become less likely to cheat when they make a higher percentage of their household income, but only up until a point. "The sweet spot for men who are least likely to cheat is when they bring home 70 percent of a total income," Munch said. So take that as a tip for married couples: if you don't want each other to cheat, try to pick jobs that will give you that perfect 70/30 split. Or just don't marry jerks, whichever's easier.

It should be noted that Munch's study was not taken from an even sample of the population. The 2,750 people polled were all between the ages of 18 and 32. It's possible the trends are different for older people. And in case these data are making you despair for the possibility of a happy marriage, there is a silver lining. Cheating in general is much less common than many people think. According to the National Opinion Research Center's General Social Survey, the American infidelity rate in 2010 was 13.5%. Those are pretty good odds. Especially if you and your spouse care about anything other than money.

A guy proposing to his girlfriend on her last day of chemo is one of the most romantic things to happen in a hospital.

If you would like to cry tears of joy, this proposal video is for you.

I'm giving you fair warning: this video is so touching it might renew your faith in mankind and make you want to be a better person. Lucas D'Onofrio proposed to his girlfriend and high school sweetheart Tamara Bruzzo on her last day of chemo to treat her Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. He decorated her room at Boca Raton Regional Hospital with balloons and flameless candles, and got the nurses to help keep the proposal a secret from Bruzzo before her arrival. He set up a camera to document the event so he could share this beautiful moment with the world.

After D'Onofrio popped the question and Bruzzo said yes, they were joined by family and friends. He told Buzzfeed, “We are sure this is her last chemo, her mass went down in size by 70% after her second chemo session... I wanted it to be a symbol of closing the chapter of cancer in her life and opening a new chapter with our lives together." Skip ahead to 2:50 to get to the main event, and get ready for your tear ducts to flood like someone skipped an inspection on the Hoover Dam.

From the mouths of babes: kids react to Caitlyn Jenner way differently than some adults.

Kids looked at photos of Caitlyn Jenner from before and after her "Vanity Fair" shoot, then shared their reactions.

These kids are really wise, and their mature responses show impressive-beyond-their-years emotional intelligence. Good job, kids. Good job, parents.

It's really awesome to hear quotes like this coming from children:

Who she wants to be is who she should be.

I think they're really being empathetic to her situation.

Like, what if this were happening to me? What if I was the one who was going through this?

And about people's negative responses to Jenner on social media:

I think they just want everything to stay the same because they just don't know how to handle it.

Maybe they're just, like, a little overwhelmed...

I think it's partly because the people who are saying that are afraid to change themselves.

Wow. Great points, kids. Can I ask you for advice? Do you have anything to say about creating a budget and/or the relationship between designated social time and mental well-being? Would love to hear your contemplations, and please, never let the world change you.

The two ladies above have banded together to share some pussytivity out in the world with Look At This Pussy, an art project/joke/social experiment that is just what it sounds like. Pics of things that look like pussies. That's it and it's perfect and hilarious.

If you think of these posts as puerile or even obscene, think about all the dick stuff we look at. All. The. Time. Sealove and Jones started sending each other pictures of things that looked like pussies as an inside joke, but found they started to regard the images as having more meaning. Says Jones:

"I just want to push the message of respecting one another. It's not about misandry or hating men, it's just about respecting each other and having fun. Females are tight (pussy joke #2) and you should pay attention to them. I wanted to create a space where people can feel like 'it's normal to feel like this' or 'it's normal that I look like this.' Everything is a pussy and everything about a pussy is beautiful. I don't want anyone to ever feel shame about that and this is sort of a way for us to drive home that message, and be funny with it too. I think the accounts that are positive, and pro-women are sort-of incredibly serious, and I think people get a little scared of that. I think it's important with humor to kind of break down that barrier."

Alright, enough talk, let's get to the pussies:

These Internet heroes read sites' Terms of Service agreements and tell you what you're signing away.

Finally, a website that enables laziness!


"We're much too busy being enviably attractive to read through all of this with our eyes."(via Thinkstock)

Let's not even pretend that you read through all the gobblygook for online services before checking the "Agree" box and promptly putting that boring legal business out of your head. Don't insult my intelligence by claiming that you do anything other than scrolling to the bottom and clicking wildly until the annoying word box goes away, and I won't insult yours by pretending that I'm admonishing you. Agreeing to things without the necessary information is a part of Internet culture. It is a ritual in which we all partake.

However, there's a new website that aiming to destroy that piece of Internet culture by providing web surfers with a concise and plain explanation of all the terms of service people usually ignore.


"Terms of Service? No thank you, I don't like Greek food."(via Thinkstock)

The name ToS;DR, or Terms of Service: Didn't Read, is a play off the common internet acronym TL;DR, or "Too Long; Didn't Read." And just like the short blurbs of succinct text that usually follow that acronym, it whittles down all the unreadable mumbo jumbo contained in popular terms of service, and offers a bullet point list of the good stuff and the bad stuff.


"Gotta go. My computer is asking me to to reading 17 pages of legalese."(via Thinkstock)

To give you a better example of how it works, here's what the site has to say about two of the most popular web services:

Now, I'm not a lawyer, but I think that thumbs up symbols mean that a term is good for the user and that thumbs down symbols mean it's bad. If I'm correct, then this is kind of a bummer because Google's terms, which I never actually read, is all bad stuff. Hmmm... maybe I should stop entrusting 95 percent of my life to that company's services. Maybe I should also start using Tos:DR.

Or, better yet, maybe I should start using this other service I know of. It's called TC;SwBB.

There's a new featurette, which is like a commercial with bonus commercial features, for "Orange Is The New Black" season 3.

The new season is already getting rave reviews. From the actors in this commercial. "This is the sexiest season by far," marvels new cast member Ruby Rose. "It's so good. It's so good," gushes Laura Prepon directly to the viewer.

All of the episodes come out on Netflix this Friday, and there is a lot to be excited about. Alex, aka the "Bettie Page of Litchfield," is back in jail after violating her parole. It looks like a three-woman love triangle is shaping up. And there's a new character, Stella Carlin, who has almost the exact same last name as me.

Homer and Marge Simpson will legally separate in the new season of 'The Simpsons.'


Nothing lasts forever, except The Simpsons. (via YouTube)

Bad news, Simpsons fans: it hasn't been good since the 90s. Also, Homer and Marge are splitting up.

Longtime showrunner Al Jean broke the news in an interview with Variety. In the upcoming season 27 (that's right, 27) premiere, the couple will get a legal separation after Homer's narcolepsy diagnosis puts a strain on their marriage. Then, Homer will fall in love with his pharmacist, voiced by Lena Dunham of Girls.

Knowing the show, they'll probably get back together by the end of the episode. Nor is this the first time their marriage has been in jeopardy. One time Marge threw Homer out for telling a class full of strangers about their sex life, and Homer once filed for divorce so that they could be remarried in style. Then I stopped watching, but there have probably been similar plotlines in the last 20 years. Something like: Homer thinks he's in love with an iPad voiced by Snooki so he gets a job as a life coach.

Jean also said that this season will feature a Halloween episode where Sideshow Bob finally kills Bart. And now that voice actor Harry Shearer is leaving the show, it looks like there's plenty of drama going on behind the scenes, too. Let's hope that all of these developments are leading to the one plot twist every fan wants: the show ending.

Do I sound bitter? I am. The Simpsons made me the man I am today, but it's been a pale shadow of its former self for years. It needs to die.

Wait, what's this?

Not a bad idea. My dog weighs 65 pounds, though. Do they make shower racks out of reinforced steel that you can bolt into the wall? They probably do.
