Mystery: Why Is This NYC Subway Experiment Video Making Me Cry?

by Erin Gloria Ryan
Erin H

well this is just the best.

If you live in New York (or if you've visited enough that you totally know your way around), you've likely noticed that at every subway stop, conductors point at a black and white striped strip. This is something they're required to do in order to ensure that the train stopped in the right place, and I'm sure it gets pretty boring. Well. Welllllll one upbeat pair of dreamers has opted to change that with a project that, inexplicably, is making me tear up. Why?

As you eat your way through your Halloween candy stash, you might stumble onto a few Dum Dums, those ubiquitous little lollipops that have been around since 1924. And maybe you'll even have a Mystery Flavor pop, its wrapper covered in question marks — is it pineapple-banana? Cherry cola? What is Mystery Flavor?

We finally have an answer.

Why I'm Done Talking About Whether or Not It's OK to Shave My Vagina

by The Huffington Post News Editors
Erin H

i am done with this because she is shaving her labia, not her vagina. if you're going to be a super-feminist, at least get your anatomy straight. sheesh.

I shaved my vagina this morning. As I did it, pretty much the way I always do, stretching one labia and then the other, trying to get to those delicate spots, I found myself answering to a Greek feminist chorus in my head.

A lot of us worry about whether or not we should be shaving our vaginas. About what it MEANS to shave our vaginas. Probably once a week someone pitches me an article about vagina-shaving, as in: “Is it feminist to shave my vagina?” (See also: to wear makeup, to wear high heels, to get plastic surgery, etc. etc.) I wrote one of those ubiquitous vagina-shaving articles myself, back in 2011.

Vunderbars | Bake or Break

I’ve made it a point in all my years of blogging to be very cautious in proclaiming anything to be “the best.” Not only is that completely subjective, but I also don’t want to eliminate the possibility that something else wonderfully delicious might dethrone that Best Thing Ever. I can only think of two recipes that I’ve deemed worthy of […]

Erin H

UP PRIDE we take care of each other.

One lucky dad has his 4-year-old daughter's extraordinary bravery and quick thinking to thank for saving his life.

Chris Lucas, from Iron Mountain, Mich., was knocked unconscious after hitting his head while unloading scrap metal from his truck on October 15, according to the Daily News. Four-year-old Cadance, who was with him, took action. She ran about a quarter-mile in the dark to find a neighbor for help.

Cadence told TV6 that she knew her dad needed help when she saw him lying on the ground near the back of his pickup truck.

Mullen’s Apple Sauce (“Chicago’s Finest Craft...

Erin H

david, i am cracking up because i didn't realize this post was from you and my first thought was "OMG i need to share this with david!"



Mullen’s Apple Sauce (“Chicago’s Finest Craft Apple Sauce”) is on Kickstarter looking to raise $25,000.

Mullen’s Apple Sauce is currently in 200 stores primarily around the Chicago area and the money raised is to meet the upfront production costs that will produce enough product to open distribution into 14 additional states within 6 months as well as for sales support and marketing integration throughout the duration of this initiative.

The apple sauce: Claiming to be “apple pie without the crust”, this all-natural, preservative-free apple sauce is based off of Jim Mullen’s mother’s recipe.

The person: Jim Mullen is a former Chicago police officer who was shot in the line of duty responding to a call. He has since turned his attention to starting this business and sharing his mother’s recipe with everyone.

Click here to go to the Kickstarter page.

Side note:

  • For my Erie friends, Mullen’s Apple Sauce is available in North East, Corry, and Pittsburgh.
  • For my CHSH friends, Mullen’s Apple Sauce is available at Mullen’s.

UGH SMUG
just because i never want to MARRY alan does not mean that i am any less committed to our relationship. and the "it's different, you wouldn't understand!" is bullshit.

No matter how much advice you get before getting married, nothing can quite prepare you for what it’s really like. Over the years I’ve been married, I’ve learned a few things I didn’t expect about what life after the wedding would be like. Here are the things I think everyone should consider before they get married.

Worth It: Magic Pants Made From Human Skin

Sometimes, my problems feel so cliched. Am I happy? Am I loving and supporting those I care about in a way that they deserve? Will I die alone? And most importantly, how can I enhance my own magical powers when I am not personally all that magically gifted? Thankfully, the answer to my final question has been answered: magical pants made from the leg skin of a powerful sorcerer who has agreed to donate his pelt upon his death.

Turns Out, Shake Weights are Pretty Much Useless

by Isha Aran
Erin H

i'm shocked. SHOCKED i say!


As most of us know, the Shake Weight is the revolutionary exercise device handcrafted in the fertile pastures of SCIENCE that harnesses the divine power of Dynamic Inertia and "ignites" the muscles in your arms, shoulders, and chest.

However, according to recent research published the Journal of Sports Science & Medicine, that may be a bit of an exaggeration. In a study of 25 subjects that performed the prescribed Shake Weight routines, researchers found no difference between using a Shake Weight and using regular ol' dumbbells. In fact, they found the Shake Weight did not engage any muscle group enough to increase muscular strength.

Starting a Dinner Party Journal — Liveblogging The Kitchn Cure Fall 2013

by Cambria Bold
Erin H

in our ongoing list of ways to prove you're white, i nominate "starting a dinner party journal" as #3.

Day 10 Task: Plan a dinner party

My experience doing The Kitchn Cure can be summed up this way: it made me finally do the things I've been wanting to do in my kitchen. Sometimes you just need a good kick in the pants to get going, you know? — something that stops the excuses and procrastinating and helps you get your ideas or plans off the ground.

I've thrown a dinner party in a small apartment before, and I've even had friends over to my current place despite its we're-still-moving-in disheveled-ness. But there's one thing I've wanted to do, and it's so small I don't know why I haven't done it yet: start a dinner party journal.

Hungry Bears Accidentally Locking Themselves In Cars, Say Truckee, Calif. Police

by The Huffington Post News Editors
Erin H

LOLOLOLOLOL

Truckee, Calif. just had its own, inverse version of “The Three Bears.”

The Lake Tahoe area town has had three reported incidences of bears locking themselves in cars this past week, Captain Robert Leftwich of the Truckee Police Department told the Huffington Post.

“It's been a very dry season and the food source is scarce, so bears are getting a bit more courageous,” he said. “Bears have so much strength that if they smell something in the car, they can usually get that door open, but when they jump inside it sometimes closes behind them.”
