Like a 1960s version of Tom Sawyer, my big brother got me to purple-wash the beige walls of our parents’ former conjugal quarters. Our dad had moved out of the house and our mom had turned the den into her new bedroom.

The Psychological Underpinnings of Benevolent Sexism: A Comprehensive Exploration
A recent study by Clever Girl found that "benevolent sexism" (BS) can hurt women in the short and long term. Benevolent sexism is when someone (usually a man) says something that seems supportive and upbeat but is based on traditional gender stereotypes. Unlike hostile sexism or other overt forms of discrimination, it is unique in that it is often used with intentionally positive intentions and is usually interpreted as such by the recipient. For example, Carla and Alex have been anticipating their manager's annual performance reviews.

10 Psychological Thrillers That Will Keep You Guessing
1. Memento (2000) Christopher Nolan’s Memento is a mind-bending thriller that follows Leonard Shelby, a man suffering from short-term memory loss, as he attempts to find his wife’s killer.

With a gripping mystery and an unforgettable ending, Memento is a masterpiece in psychological storytelling.

55. Top Story - February 2025.
I turned 55 on Sunday, Feb. 2, the Groundhog Day. And it hit me hard. I do occasionally suffer from the Birthday Blues. You know, no one's getting younger and every year is another wrinkle on your face and in other places. I know, I know, there are a lot of people even in this community who might think, "55! I wish I were that young again!" and I do understand them. I really do. We all have different perspectives on our own age.

What is Enlightenment?
We hear from realized men about the state or experience of enlightenment. Knitted with each realized person’s religious background, sentiment, and faith, enlightenment is expressed, described, and understood differently by every individual.

Music to Calm the Chaos
Have you ever felt so overwhelmed by life that you didn't know where to turn? Yesterday was a rough Monday for me. We're 9+ months into our major renovation, which we are living through, and I have construction fatigue. I feel like a caged animal stuck on a boat, floundering at sea with no captain. It's not what you want to be feeling this far into your project with no clear end in sight.
