So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need: 1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks. 2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of. 3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles. 4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops. 5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of. 6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift. 7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care. 8. Sugar and flour are treats. 9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores. 10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some. 11. They rarely get fresh meat. 12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch. 13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef. 14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread. 15. Butter or margarine is nice too. 16. Eggs are a real commodity. 17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake. 18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated. 19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that. 20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing. In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

Stop asking my 12 year old if he has a girlfriend. He’s 12. He’s a child who likes comic books and screaming outside for no reason. Relationships are not for children. Also stop telling kids "you're so cute/handsome/beautiful I bet all the boys/girls will be trying to date you!" How about "you're so kind, you have such a great sense of humor." If you want a society that goes more than skin deep you have to change the language and the culture starting at home. -Anonymous

The wealthiest 1% hold 53% of ALL stocks. The top 10% hold 88.6% of ALL stocks. Every dollar these media companies don't give to a writer or actor, they hand to millionaires and billionaires. When you say actors and writers are spoiled, you're on the wrong side of history.

Get this: in just FOUR, Ohio was able to collect more than 700,000 signatures to get this measure on the ballot in November. Their goal was 414,000 signatures. This story deserves a lot of attention. Abortion is still a motivating issue. Read more below: statenews.org/government-pol…

This is a side by side of two women gracing the front covers of two well known magazines. The one on the right we all know is Martha Stewart, age 81. The one on the left is Apo Whang-Od, age 106, a tribal tattooist in a remote province in the Philippines. There seems to be an unwritten rule which equates beauty with youngness. In an interview, Martha Stewart told the reporter she credits her organic, home-grown, farm-to-table eating, yoga, and actively healthy lifestyle to her youthfulness. While that’s an admirable journey for her, let’s not forget the amount of privilege that kind of lifestyle requires. On the left is Apo Whang-Od, who is a 106-year-old tribal tattooist in the Philippines. The wisdom she carries in every forehead wrinkle and frown line is stunning. Her eyes are glass, reflecting back all that she’s witnessed over a century of lived experiences. Her tattoos a reminder of the ancestors she seeks to honor. Both women are beautiful in their own right. But I wish we as women didn’t play into this idea that we have to look younger—and thinner—in order to fit some unrealistic beauty standard which will grant us acceptance and relevance in the world around us. I’m writing this for any woman who, like me, may have had a punched-gut reaction to seeing an octogenarian in a swimsuit on the cover of a magazine looking more like a woman in her forties or fifties: Anti-aging is not a beauty standard. There IS beauty in wrinkles, and saggy skin, and drooping breasts. These are markers of a life hard fought for and well lived. It seems odd to try and erase these battle scars. So while I applaud Martha for her fortunate body, carefully curated procedures, and pristinely styled makeup, I also applaud Whang-Od for what others may perceive as imperfections. Anti-aging is not a beauty standard. Authenticity is. @ FeministNews

Mother's day is coming up and I wanted to share my GO-TO gift guide for mothers! It's something moms would literally die for! We've been begging for it!

The video of Tyre Nichols’ murder is horrifying. There is no excuse for that brutality. The Department of Justice needs to investigate how the culture of the Memphis police contributed to this killing and Congress needs to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act now.

GoFundMe has verified that RowVaughn Wells, the mother of Tyre Nichols, created this memorial fund: gofundme.com/f/tyre-nichols
