Meet the chaplain helping LGBTQ+ couples marry before Trump's presidency

Ever since Donald Trump was elected for a second, non-consecutive presidential term in office, the LGBTQ+ community has worried about what that could mean for equal marriage rights in the US. One Iowa chaplain is helping these couples plan their weddings before his presidency begins.

TikTokers Are Calling Out the Harmful Body-Shaming Language of 2000s Diet Books

If you ever want to see how far we've come with our societal views, you only have to look back at the media we consumed just 20 years ago. Diet books, weight-focused reality shows, and magazines which pitted women against each other in the form of "who wore it best?" columns really were the epitome of anti-feminist rhetoric. While evenings were spent watching the latest episode of "You Are What You Eat", "Snog, Marry, Avoid", and "The Biggest Loser", as well as saving up for the latest fashion f

Iceland Has Cut Its Price of Formula, but Breastfeeding Still Isn’t Free

In August, supermarket giant Iceland did the unthinkable, and promoted that the chain would have a "permanent" price reduction on baby formula. While it might seem like an obvious move for supermarkets, given the current cost of living crisis, to provide support for parents of formula or combi-fed babies via discounts on such an essential item, it's actually illegal for them to shout about it.
