Peanuts Against Peanut Allergies
I LOVE peanut butter. I love it so much. I have eaten it almost every day: on toast, with honey, from a spoon, whatever. Thick, thick layers of peanut butter. It is my heaven (along with cheese and popcorn).
Because of this, a part of my brain is very afraid that I am going to have a baby one day who is allergic to peanuts. I just don't know what I'd do. I mean, I guess I would love my baby enough to not have peanut butter in the house, but what if it was really severe? What if its body could tell that I ate peanut butter for lunch at work and would punish me for being happy by swelling up and dying? That puts me in a very difficult position.
So I am very relieved to learn that giving babies peanut products can actually help them avoid peanut allergies.

A Tumour With a Brain
File this under OMG: doctors removed a tumour from a teenage girl's ovary and inside the tumour they found (get your spooky voice on) braaaaaaaains! Or, to be more specific, a mass that turned out to be a cerebellum. A CEREBELLUM! Ick! Wow! Gross! Amazing! Shudder!
Bodies are weird and gross and pretty incredible.
How to Throw Shade Without Being Terrible
You know how people get upset that they "can't say anything" now that the "politically correct fascists" would like to stop stigmatizing everyone? Well, here's a handy guide for how to throw shade while remaining intersectional. No, you don't get to call people idiots anymore, and yes, you have to have a real reason to throw shade and work a teensy bit harder at it.
Isn't it worth it, though? Calling a name or insulting someone's appearance is just weak, and the whole point of throwing shade is to show how great you are, isn't it?
