Erin Hdammit, corey?
Erin Hadorable. i love lemonade stands, and i love philanthropic children even more.
After raking in a sweet amount of change from their lemonade stand, three budding philanthropists decided to give it all away.
The generous tykes –- Aidan, 8, Sofia, 8, and Zach, 6 -- handed over a check for $36.50 to the Utah Food Bank, along with this touching note, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.

Erin Hthis is a nice counterbalance to that video of men wearing the childbirth simulation devices. i love watching dads get teary-eyed. :)
Pregnancy is a woman's time to get all the attention and do whatever she wants. Embrace your inner Kim Kardashian and eat a bunch of cheesy fries from In-N-Out Burger. Yell at the man who impregnated you to get you deep fried pickles and Cool Ranch Doritos from the comfort of your couch. Wear a neon pink mumu for weeks at a time. You are creating a wee little person in your belly and everyone else comes second to that process. But guys are feeling left out. They don't get to experience the joys of motherhood, like morning sickness and feeling like a waterbed (even though many men experience "sympathy pains" with their pregnant partner). So Huggies created something for dads so they can stop feeling so bummed and left out all the time: A "pregnancy belt" that replicates their child's kicks in real time from mom's belly.
When dudes felt their bionic babies kick and turn about for the first time, every body got all teary-eyed and it was beautiful. And the moms looked at their baby daddies and were all, "Welcome to my life, asshole. This thing can get really fidgety in there sometimes."
Erin Hi love donal logue. in this article, they left out knights of prosperity, which was tragically underwatched, but one of the funniest shows ever on tv. it was also the first thing i saw sofia vergara in.
Finding himself in South Central L.A. in the early '90s, working as a janitor and seeking sobriety through volunteer work, Donal Logue wasn't really thinking of acting. He'd been in a couple TV movies before moving to California, sure, but the hopelessness of the Hollywood scene had put him in a bad enough place that a turkey sandwich at the end of the day was a blessing.

Erin Hanother one! seriously, brian williams is my favorite. i hope he sees these and decides to do a history of rap with jimmy and jt.
Yesterday, we saw Bri Wi do "Nuthin' But a G Thang." Today it's "Regulate." So awesome. But you guys, I miss Nate Dogg. He made songs better. RIP.
Erin Hi'm not sure i would use this, but you guys. i have the hoodie pillow, and it is the best invention after tivo and toilet paper. get yisself one.
This is The Travel Hoodie Pillow. It’s sold by the same people who gave us The Hoodie Pillow. But this HoodiePillow? This Hoodie Pillow is for traveling. It’s basically a neck pillow and a hoodie in one. In fact, that’s exactly what it is. The pillow itself is inflatable so if it’s pissing you off, […]

Erin Hi am SO disappointed by this trailer! i just finished the book last week (thanks suze!), and this looks NOTHING like the book. the book was full of hope and happiness and surprise and wonder. she went on at length about how well she was treated by the other inmates, how nice they all were, how supportive her parents and fiancee were. boo, hiss on you, netflix.
Here's the trailer for Netflix's first female-led series, Orange Is The New Black. It was created by Jenji Kohan, (who created and won Emmys for Weeds) and is based on a memoir by Piper Kerman.
According to Women And Hollywood, Taylor Schilling plays Piper,
a woman who has a comfortable life with her fiance, until a drug smuggling charge from her past reappears. Piper is sentenced to a year in prison which changes everything.
While it's not exactly Oz, the series looks like it will tackle classism, race-relations, lesbianism and the penal system with a sense of humor — and totally pass the Bechdel test while doing so. Apparently prison is just like the Hamptons, only fucking horrible.
The folks at Late Night With Jimmy Fallon created a pretty great clip of Brian Williams "covering" "Nuthin' But a G Thang." Thank you. Just the other day we were saying that the evening news needs more gin and juice.

Erin Hi want to be their friend. but i guess i need a cool superheroine name first. hrm.
One of the truest truisms of all is that high school sucks for a lot of people. At worst, it can be a stultifying, judgmental, depressing environment (with obvious exceptions — however, I think we can all agree that the narrative of the "downtrodden nerd who prevails at long last" is as ubiquitous as unappealing pretzel restaurants in a suburban mall). Fortunately, brilliant, inquisitive, and interesting lil' minds tend to find a way towards self expression. This is exactly what's happened in Winnipeg, Canada, where a group of teenage girls has created a set of superhero trading cards for a squad of badass heroines called the Craftastics. The Craftastics are, of course, based on themselves, and they fight the everyday evils that plague teenage girls.
Like all superheroes, the Craftastics have a humble origin story: they were in the midst of standing up to patriarchy — as one is wont to do — when a truck filled with toxic waste spilled its cargo on them. Just kidding, they met in the multi-purpose room at Valley Gardens School in Winnipeg because they were all in an after school program (but my idea was pretty chill).
The after school program is called the Valley Garden Grrlz Club. Its aim is to serve as a safe and empowering place for teenage girls to make crafts, play games, and have group discussions about typical teen girl problems: self-esteem and body image issues, how to have healthy relationships, etc. Once a month, they volunteer in the community. In short, the Valley Garden Grrlz are amazing teen girls who definitely never put each other's bras in the freezers at sleepovers.
In collaboration with a local artist, Jennie O, the grrlz decided to create a public art project. According to Winnipeg Arts,
During their weekly meetings, the group decided that the artwork should address the issues they've encountered as teens, like gender discrimination, stereotyping, body-issues, depression, anxiety, gossip, peer pressure and bullying. Together they decided to create a team of superheroes to combat some of the challenges teens face.
The Craftastics consist of The Bookmark, who works to "end discrimination against nerds," Masked Peacock, who has the power to "spread her multi-coloured feathers to turn racists into people who see the beauty in diversity," and Click, who combats gossip. Click's powers include the ability to "make 'uncool' teens cool without changing anything about them," which is the most sweetly profound thing I've heard in weeks. Their hope is that other schools and libraries will download the trading cards and be inspired create injustice-fighting leagues on their own. They've also succeeded in creating female superheroes whose outfits aren't hypersexualized along the way.
Side note: one time at college I was on a panel about sexuality and someone asked what everyone's sexual superhero would be, and I cracked under pressure and said "Judith Butt-ler." Therefore, I have a lot of respect for these young women — both as a feminist and someone with a truly ghastly fake superhero name of her own.

There are few things we love more than a good duckling rescue video. So perhaps it's fortunate for us that they just. can't. stop. needing to be rescued.
Luckily, more often than not, there are friendly humans around to give them a helping hand.

Erin Hi was really hoping this would be good, i love a good pop song. but alas.
Mix one part "Party in the U.S.A.", one part Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night" and a few parts LMFAO's everything and you've got Miley Cyrus' new song. Lyrics include:
To my homegirls here with the big butts
Shaking it like we at a strip club
Remember only God can judge us
Forget the haters cause somebody loves ya
Your new anthem of female empowerment is here.
Erin HFYI chicagoans: mariano's has been selling glazed croissants in their bakery since they opened. they are magical.
Cronuts, the hybrid CROissant-doNUT that's captivated the internet's lust for novelty sweets, can only be found in one bakery in Brooklyn — until now.
Thanks to Brock Keeling at SFist, you can make your own cronut — or, not really a the cronut, because that's been trademarked by Dominique Ansel Bakery — and the results aren't EXACTLY the same, but it's probably close enough to satisfy your screaming fat cells. Plus, you can have a whole batch for like $10, which is a far cry from $40 for one cronut (TM).

Erin HOMG i know, i'm not ever getting married again, but holy shit this is the best thing ever.

Erin Hooooooh.
The weather's getting warmer, and there's nothing better than a night spent out on the patio under the stars. Unless, of course, you live in the city. The bright urban lights tend to drown out the sky's natural twinkle, so if you want a starry night outside, you'll have to create it yourself.

Erin Hi can't decide if this is adorable or twee.
Erin Hdid we learn NOTHING from jurassic park?
It was a discovery of mammoth proportions.
On Wednesday, Russian scientists reported that they had extracted blood from a 10,000-year-old woolly mammoth carcass discovered frozen in the Arctic. The researchers estimated that the prehistoric mammal was about 60 when it died, according to a statement issued by North-Eastern Federal University in Yakutsk.
The mammoth was found in a remote location in the New Siberian Islands in the Arctic Ocean, where temperatures can dip to minus 10 degrees Celsius (about 14 degrees Fahrenheit).
Erin Hwhat the fuck is up with cleveland? hide yo kids, hide yo wife.
A Cleveland man was arrested after police say he kidnapped a girl in Ohio and drove her to Virginia Beach, Va., about 500 miles away.
Police apprehended Edwin Rosario, 33, after his 17-year-old victim managed to sneak away from him and call relatives back home, CBS affiliate WKTR reports.
According to police, Rosario stole a vehicle and drove himself and the victim to a Virginia Beach motel, where he allegedly held the teen against her will and threatened to harm the girl or himself if she did not dye her hair.

Just in case you didn't already feel like the laziest today, meet a 5-year-old who probably read five books in the time it took you to finish this sentence.
Sophia Moss, from Lake Charles, Louisiana, reads a book nearly every day — and reads about 875 books a school year. That's a lot of Amelia Bedelia!
Mary Lanier, the librarian for Sophia's school said, "I told Sophia, I said we're going to have to order more books for T.S. Cooley Library because she's read so many of them and enjoys so many of them," and Sophia's dad, Carl, says he has a hard time getting her to sleep because she'd rather be reading.
I feel you, girl — so many books, so little time.
