Why women need Galentine’s Day more than ever this year

sudshr47 February 13, 2018

In 2010, Galentine’s Day was just another Parks and Rec episode, but in recent years it’s become a symbol of female empowerment and solidarity.

The fictional holiday, brought to life by Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler), was a day filled with “ladies celebrating ladies.” Since the episode aired, Feb, 13 has become a real-life celebration of women’s triumphs rather than oppression — and it’s more important than ever this year.

The popularity of the day gives us an excuse to get our friends together, eat waffles, and drink cocktails. Naturally, businesses like Target, Amazon, and Walmart have tried to get in on the action and produce themed-products across the country. While food and drinks can be a great bonus to the party, the “holiday” is more than just a day brands can profit from. It is a time for women to come together to reflect on goals, dreams, and accomplishments. Read more…

When we’re feeling stressed or anxious, many of us turn to our preferred coping strategies.

Actor and singer Zendaya shared her go-to method of dealing with stress—and it’s a totally doable activity that many of us can get on board with.

Zendaya tweeted that she has a colouring station at her house, complete with loads of coloured felt tip pens and a load of themed colouring books.

‘Broverwatch’ is a group of guys who get together to play games and talk about their feelings

sudshr47 January 31, 2018

At three o’clock every Sunday afternoon, a group of four British lads get together to play video games. This might sound like a pretty standard Sunday, but these chaps congregate so they can talk about their mental health, their feelings, and, well, how crap they are at video games.

They call themselves “Broverwatch.” (And, yeah, they really love playing Overwatch.)

Don’t let the project’s name fool you: Broverwatch couldn’t be further from the bro-y, alpha male get-together you might be imagining. Social media producer Duncan Vicat-Brown—one of the four “bros”—says the project started up because “men don’t talk about their feelings enough.” Read more…
