Mom Paige-Alexis Cunningham from Sydney had no idea her "bit of a rant" about "mom-shaming" would go viral when she posted it on Facebook on January 29.

Cunningham, frustrated that her Facebook feed had been "flooded" with posts about "what not to feed your kids," described what her own kids ate that day: some nutritious stuff, and some McDonald's Happy Meal lunches.

She compared the all-natural, home-cooked versus fast food debate to breast-feeding versus formula—what really matters is what works best for the family, and it's all about moderation. "At the end of the day fed children are best. Don't let them eat junk all the time, but don't lay the guilt on yourself or any other parent if they ate 2 minute noodles and Nutella today."

She edited her "rant" after it started to go viral, adding that the "mom-shaming" she was talking about isn't only about meals and nutrition, it includes vaccination debates, co-sleeping, and so on. She also pointed out that she referred to it as "mom-shaming" because she hasn't noticed the shaming extending to dads. She added that she has no problem with "educational posts," just with posts with a judgmental "tone" to them. She ends by saying that moms "should be supporting other moms, not vilifying them." And she's right—it's better to leave that to non-moms and teenagers.

Daryush “Roosh” Valizadeh, who advocates "legal rape" and had been planning men's rights rallies this week, lives alone in his mom's basement. Roosh had to cancel multiple men's rights rallies this week (which were scheduled in several countries) after receiving threats of violence against him and anyone who attended the events, despite his previous promises that he would not cancel them. 

Roosh gained attention after suggesting in a blog post that rape could be "legal" if it occurred on private property. He peddles these beliefs on his website, Return of Kings, which advocates "...the return of the masculine man in a world where masculinity is being increasingly punished and shamed...."

The planned rallies and subsequent backlash gained Roosh more attention, specifically by people that were pissed off. It was these threats of violence against him that alerted people to Roosh's living arrangements. Roosh called the police after receiving death threat calls at home, and apparently home is his mom's basement:

All the negative attention caught the eye of the hacking group Anonymous, which released his personal information and address:

And, in today's realities of Internet vigilantism, this means people are going to continue to harass him:

But not all hope is lost for Roosh, since some nut job offered him free board and armed protection:

The Internet giveth, and the Internet taketh away. Leaders of "organizations" like these are rarely quite what they seem, and contradictions to their reputations are frequently revealed. In addition to learning he lives in his mom's basement, it's a safe bet you'll later see Roosh discretely exiting a movie theater this summer after checking out the all-female reboot of Ghostbusters.

The Bernie Sanders campaign has been hailed for its ability to mobilize and inspire the youths, and it doesn't get any more millennial than taking it to Tinder. A Facebook group,"Bernie Sanders' Dank Tinder Convos," popped up for people to share their experience spreading the Bern on the dating app.

As if that wasn't enough there's also a Tumblr, Tinder Campaigning, that shares screenshots from dudes' hilarious reactions when they're just trying to "socialize" and end up learning about Democratic Socialism. 

Here are some dudes' most interesting reactions to this campaign tactic:

1. The well-wishing guy.

2. The honest guy.

3. The ineligible felon. 

4. The ungrateful guy.

5. The Christian guy.

6. The 420 friendly guy.

"President Sanders" would probably be pro-Tinder.

A sea lion looking for a good meal made its way to the Marine Room in San Diego on Thursday morning. According to Reuters, the baby animal got in sans-reservation after coming up from the beach and through a door a cleaning crew had left open.

It was a little early for the restaurant to start serving and as the restaurant prefers to feed fish to humans rather than sea creatures, the animal was escorted out. Members of SeaWorld's Animal Rescue Center came to take the sea lion to a more appropriate eating establishment. 

Sadly, while very cute, the sea lion was quite unhealthy when it plopped into a coveted booth seat. CBS News reports the animal is incredibly underweight, coming in at about half the size of most sea lions her age. The lion was also quite dehydrated, and SeaWorld staff deemed her condition"critical."

Fortunately, SeaWorld also shared that the sea pup is receiving "lots of fluids" and the team "hope[s] to get her rehabilitated and back out into the wild."

In the meantime, the sea lion can rest up and feast on fish, free of charge. 

Tourist turned viral photo subject Mark Pierrot's recent trip to Australia's Christmas Island gave him the chance to hang out with some of the locals, including this utterly gigantic coconut crab—the largest known land arthropod on Earth. The tropical island is home to more than a million of these huge crabs, in case you're wondering where not to go on vacation.

Coconut crabs can grow up to 16 inches, with a leg span of three feet, and weigh up to nine pounds, and will now be the subject of nightmares for countless readers everywhere. You're welcome!

Their size has earned them the nickname "crabzilla," and they're also sometimes called "robber crabs" because they steal everything (including your SOUL—not really), according to Linda Cash, the Christmas Island marketing manager. 

If you ever find yourself trying to escape from a coconut crab, it's good to know that they can climb trees, but they'll drown in water. So will you, but that might be preferable to having to spend any extended amount of time around one of these creatures. ​

Coconut crabs are often hunted for their meat, which residents of many islands consider to be a delicacy and an aphrodisiac. But they're safe on Christmas Island, where it's illegal to hunt and eat them—and people who break that law can be fined up to $4,000. No word on what happens if it's just self defense. 

The typical coconut crab's diet consists of coconuts (duh), fruit, dead animals, other crabs, and the occasional tourist (that last part may be made up). 

Super Bowl Sunday is as much about the snacks as it is about the sports. The good people at Google made a map showing the most-searched for snacks by state leading up to the game, which shows that regardless of how the country divides along Broncos vs. Panthers lines, it is united in its love of dips.

People all along the East Coast and into the Midwest will be savoring Buffalo Chicken Dip. North Carolinians will be cheering on their team while eating 7 Layer Dip, and Colorado, along with the people in New Hampshire, will be feasting on meatballs.

The strangest takeaway from the map is that people from Vermont seem to have invented their own delicacy: the Bacon Bread Bowl, which probably goes well with Ben and Jerry's.

Whew! Another hectic week of politics and Kanye West-related drama. The Iowa caucuses saw Martin O'Malley, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum withdraw from the presidential race, but Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders tied, resolving nothing, while Ted Cruz's victory was marred by accusations of trickery. All the candidates rushed off to New Hampshire, promising to call Iowa "sometime soon." While rappers Young Thug and Future feuded on Twitter, current and former Kanye paramours Kim Kardashian and Amber Rose appeared to make peace via selfie. And a "pro-rape group" called off worldwide rallies, citing fears for their safety and love of rich, rich irony. All this, plus jokes about Del Taco, holograms, archdukes and more, in the top 41 tweets of the week!

Mariah Carey recently sat down with Dutch personality Gordon Heuckeroth for an interview that she clearly wanted to end sooner than it did. At one point during the RTL Late Night show, Heuckeroth asked Carey if they could sing together. While Carey managed to respond kindly, her bland tone and gritted teeth betrayed her genuine feelings.

Soon after, Heuckeroth wrote about the interview on his Facebook page. Facebook translates his words to, "Tonight, my interview with Mariah in rtl late night. I once dreamt of a duet with Whitney or mariah unfortunately my biggest idol to tragically died. If this is what I see and hear the tears rolling down my cheeks because with one of them came from my dream. Never give up on fullfilling your dreams!"

Maybe Carey knew she was second-runner up in Heuckeroth's eyes. Or she didn't want to be ordered around like a pet. Either way, she would not likely describe this moment with positive adjectives.

A Redditor named Ramphastid556 posted a video of his pet toucan, Ripley, on February 1st, and she was a big hit. It turns out that domesticated toucans are pretty intelligent and friendly birds, and they can be socialized to love and enjoy human company, so Ripley is like a little lap dog. She also makes a clicking noise to express pleasure, kind of like a cat. But she's a bird. Really, she's got it all:

A lot of people had questions about what having a toucan as a pet is like, and there were some illuminating answers in the comments. For one thing, toucans cost from 8k-10k, so Ripley's owner must be a baller. His fancy illuminated keyboard backs that up. Also, about bird poop:

There were also a lot of questions about the morality of keeping a bird like a toucan captive. Ripley was apparently bought from a breeder, not taken from the jungle, so it's up to each person to decide how they feel about this video. Ripley seems happy, though.

In a piece for The Sydney Morning Herald, Alexandra Smith, the paper's education editor, recently detailed a frustrating experience she had while being pregnant for the third time. Smith explained how, after fasting for a series of blood tests, she craved a cup of coffee. The 27-weeks-pregnant Smith made her way to a coffee shop and ordered, but the response she received from the male barista was "No caffeine for you."

"Pregnancy, it seems, is viewed as an out-of-body experience," Smith wrote. "Comments that would never be uttered to a non-pregnant woman, let alone a man, suddenly become totally acceptable to a woman sporting a baby bump." Smith also related stories of two friends who were similarly turned down at the register: one for purchasing a soft-serve ice cream, the other for trying to buy unpasteurized cheese.

"Just like our bodies, our decisions also become fair game," Smith wrote regarding public attitudes towards women's pregnancies. Despite this knowledge and prior experiences with being treated in this way, Smith backed down when ordering her coffee. She blamed "mother guilt" and ended up unhappily sipping a cup of frothed milk with a splash of coffee.

According to the Mayo Clinic, "While further research is needed, some studies suggest that drinking too much caffeine during pregnancy might be associated with an increased risk of miscarriage." The site recommends keeping one's daily intake of caffeine to just under what an average 8-ounce cup of coffee holds. That guideline from a reputable medical site might be more valid than the belief of a total stranger.

On Thursday, Amber Rose shared a picture of herself in middle school looking cute as a button. It's just the latest in a series of great Instagram photos from Rose; her 'gram has been amazing since she blew up the Internet by saying Kanye West likes butt stuff on Twitter. She even shared a selfie of herself with Kanye's wife, Kim Kardashian, which was mysterious and fueled gossip in the most delightful way. But she also threw up this selfie with Amy Schumer:

Showed herself supporting her baby's father, Wiz Khalifa:

And just her own general hotness:

But nothing can top this:

She was 5'9" as a 12-year-old, and she was obviously destined for great things. Gossip site The Shade Room pointed out that fans aren't the only ones who think so. Wiz Khalifa also commented on her photo, "I woulda be on," which is very flirtatious in middle school speak:

Are they getting back together? Or does he just admire her as much as everyone else?

Redditors recently shared stories of secrets they've kept from their parents, but don't feel bad for thee moms and dads. As these stories prove, it really can better that to know too little than know too much—​after all, what parent wants to discover that their kid had sex with his cousin or became a "local drug lord" (even if it was just for 24 months)?

1. This mom definitely has figured this out by now.

2. "Wow, you got RIPPED in Spain."

3. According to the poster, he was in prison for four months.

4. People transfer schools for a ton of different reasons.

5. Smooth.

6. He just wanted to have sex on a waterbed.

7. He really arrested his development there.

8. Great edit.

9. Nice work if you can get it.

10. She just thinks he's gotten so calm from meditation.

11. Skunks: surprising omnivores.

Redditor HoeDontNo shared an image of their daughter Lola's homework, and it's enough to make any parent nervous. Lola was asked to imagine herself as a superhero, and to describe what she for her superpower. Eschewing the cliché answers of "flight" or "invisibility," the young girl described a character so disturbing, she could only come from a gritty superhero reboot.

HoeDontNo posted the image to Imgur with the caption "My daughter, future serial killer." Once you read it, you'll understand why.

Lola writes (typos corrected):

My superhero's name is Killer. Her name is Killer because she kills a lot of people. My superpowers are super speed, super strength, super hearing, and super killing, and shape shifting, and shadow shifting. I like her because she likes the darkness.

It's hard to pinpoint exactly what's the most unsettling part of this answer. Is it that Lola clearly scratched out "superkiller" before writing "superhero?" Or is the fact that killing a lot of people isn't actually a superpower, so there's nothing stopping her? Or is it wondering what "shadow shifting" is? HoeDontNo actually weighed in on that when asked by another Redditor.

Maybe this parent should humor the kid and listen to her ranting. Or else we might know who Killer's first victim will be.

Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris Jackson, had a bit of a freak-out on Instagram on Thursday, and it was definitely warranted. Paris is only 17 years old and her account looks like most teenage girls. Lots of cute selfies and inspirational memes:

Except she gets to hang out with the hunks of Supernatural more than the average teen:

The big difference, obviously, is that Paris is the daughter of one the biggest pop stars of all time, who also happens to have been a lightning rod for controversy. Even years after his death, Michael Jackson's in the news, since it's been announced that he'll be played by white actor Joseph Fiennes in an upcoming film. Paris shared what she thinks about that:

Then there's this silly, innocuous photo of a young girl and some alien spray paint:

Which must have been filled quickly with negative and judgmental comments, because here is Paris going off on the haters:

It seems like someone had very high expectations for responses from Paris, though she does respond regularly, unlike most social media mavens. And she's done with it. Comments on the photo are now largely positive and supportive. Sometimes you gotta freak out to keep your followers in line.

For 30 years, Kathy Margolis was a primary school teacher in Brisbane, Australia. "This year, after much thought, I have decided to look for another job, not easy for a woman in her 50s," she wrote on Facebook on Monday. "I cannot continue to do a job that requires me to do what is fundamentally against my philosophy of how it should be done." Her criticisms of the competitive, anxiety-provoking education system down under seem to apply to American education, too.

The post has over 28,000 shares, promoting a discussion about education worldwide.

First, she explains how the system both takes advantage of teachers and denies them professional autonomy:

Education in Australian schools is in crisis and someone has to listen to those who are game enough to speak up. I have been a primary school teacher in Brisbane schools for over 30 years. This year, after much thought, I have decided to look for another job, not easy for a woman in her 50s. I cannot continue to do a job that requires me to do what is fundamentally against my philosophy of how it should be done. I love my students and they love me. I know how to engage children in learning and how to make it fun. It’s what I do best. 
Teachers have very little professional autonomy anymore. We are told what to do, how to do it and when it has to be done by. Never have I experienced a time in my profession where teachers are this stressed and in real fear for the mental health of not only themselves, but the children that they teach. The pressures are enormous. And before we get the people who rabbit on about our 9 to 3 day and all the holidays we get, let’s get some things straight. No teacher works from 9 until 3. We are with the students during those hours. We go on camps, we man stalls at fetes, we conduct parents/teacher interviews, we coach sporting teams and we supervise discos. And of course there is the lesson preparation, the marking, the report cards. Full time teachers are paid 25 hours a week. Yes you read that correctly, 25 paid hours a week. In any other job that would be considered part time. So now that I have justified our holidays, many of which are spent doing the above, let’s talk about what is going on in classrooms across this great nation of ours.

She goes on to explain how the status quo is detrimental to both the teachers and the students. Like in the United States, Australian education relies on high-pressure standardized testing:

Classrooms are overcrowded, filled with individuals with all sorts of needs both educational and social. Teachers are told we must differentiate and cater to each individual. Good teachers try desperately to do that but it is near impossible and we feel guilty that we are not doing enough to help the children in our care.
The curriculum is so overcrowded. Prep teachers who used to run lovely play based programs (which might I add work beautifully) are teaching children sight words and how to read and write alongside subjects like history and geography. As a teacher and a mother of 3 sons, this scares the proverbial out of me. We all know that boys this age need to be moving around doing things that interest them, not sitting at desks. And what about the notion of readiness? I fear those little ones who are not ready are going to be left behind. And here’s the problem with our crowded curriculum. There is not enough time to consolidate the basics. Every teacher on this earth will tell you that the early years should be about the 3 R’s. My own children went off to year one after having had a lovely, enriching play based year of learning back in the days of pre-school. They didn’t know any sight words; they could write maybe a few letters and guess what? They learnt to read and write without being pushed at such an early age.
In my teaching career I have never seen so many children suffering from stress and anxiety. It saddens me greatly. Teaching at the moment is data driven. We are testing them and assessing them and pushing them so hard. I get that teachers need to be accountable and of course we need assessment but teachers have an innate ability to know what kids need. A lot of it is data for data’s sake. Don’t even get me started on NAPLAN [the standardized test]. Teachers wouldn’t have a problem with NAPLAN if it wasn’t made out to be such a big deal by the powers that be, the press and parents. It has turned into something bigger than Ben Hur.  

She ends her post with a powerful call to action:

So why am I writing this? I’m writing this because teachers need to speak up but we are often afraid of retribution. We need to claim back our profession but we are powerless. Teachers teach because we love children and are passionate about education. Our young teaching graduates enter the profession bright eyed and bushy tailed, energetic and enthusiastic, ready to make a difference. So why I ask are they only staying for an average of 5 years? Of course that question is rhetorical. I know the answer. They are burnt out and disillusioned. Older teachers like me have seen better days in the classroom so in a way it’s harder for us to see all the joy slowly being sucked out of learning. But we also have a wealth of experience to draw from and we know which hoops you don’t necessarily need to jump through. We occasionally speak out. We are not as easy to “control”. But we are tired and also burning out with disillusionment. 
I write this in the hope that we can spark a public discussion. We need the support of parents, who I know agree with us. I write this because I love children and I can’t bear to see what we are doing to them. Last year, as I apologised once again to my class for pushing them so hard and for the constant barrage of assessment, one child asked me “if you don’t like the things you have to do then why are you still a teacher?” That question got me to thinking long and hard. I had no answer except that I truly loved kids and it was with a heavy heart that I realised that wasn’t enough anymore.

This isn't the first time a teacher has quit with an open letter like this—a teacher in Florida (a place with beaches and weird animals; it's kind of like the Australia of America) wrote a similar letter than went viral in November. These posts seem to hit a nerve with fellow teachers and parents alike. 

Henry Cavill has been in peak shape for years, but he's somehow managed to get fitter. If anyone saw Cavill's most recent—and terrible—release, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., then you know that Cavill's arms have been trying to break free of his shirts. This revolt of his muscles is thanks to the upcoming March blockbuster Batman v Superman, where Cavill will be gracing screens again as Superman and facing off against a very muscular Ben Affleck. 

Until theaters display the larger-than-life images of Cavill and Affleck fighting in very tight outfits, there's this photo to tide everyone over. It marks Cavill's first shirtless Instagram, and though his relatively new account has been decent so far, this pic certainly ups the ante. 

Warm up phase for Superman training started today! Posting this pic to set myself a minimum goal...and force myself to actually keep going haha!

From the sounds of it, Cavill is already prepping to reprise his Superman role for the 2017 Justice League movie, and he's using his Man of Steel bod as fitspo. It's nice to know that celebrities inspire themselves.
