‘Hot rodent boyfriend’ is the latest trend reframing men’s bodies – why can’t we extend this generosity towards women?

There are prices I pay for being a lesbian who spends too much time on the internet and loves film, TV and pop culture. One is that I spend a lot of time on the internet. I also know a lot of useless things that take up prime real estate within my ever-shrinking brain, where “understanding maths” could be.

Weird foods pioneers ate in the Old West

Early pioneers venturing West undertook long, arduous journeys. Life on the wagon trail wasn't easy, and food played a big role in both nourishing settlers and boosting their morale.

Pioneers created new recipes tailored to their resources using local ingredients. In this gallery, you'll get a glimpse of what their diets looked like. Curious?

40 Vintage Photos of Royals as Teenagers

Their teen years look different than most. While most teens are worried about college applications or prom, growing up is more intense for those born into royalty, as the world watches them come of age in the spotlight. Although some royal children might have been able to enjoy relatively normal upbringings at school and on sports fields, others had to balance life as a teen with their royal workload. Case in point: Queen Elizabeth II was just 13 years old when she gave her first public address. And while ordinary teenagers get to delete less-than-favorable young photos, royals aren't afforded the same luxury. From official portraits to paparazzi shots, there is plenty of photo evidence of their teen years. Here are 40 photos of young princes and princesses from around the globe as teens, from images of a British royal getting his driver's license to photos of a Spanish prince meeting with a U.S. president.

22 Best Hypoallergenic Dog Breeds That Don't Shed

These pups are low maintenance in the shedding department. If you're craving a cuddle with an adorable and furry friend but have allergies to pet dander, then a hypoallergenic dog might just be the answer to all your needs. Dogs that are hypoallergenic can work great for people with allergies because they don’t shed as much as other breeds do. That means there's not as much dander coming off their coats and sticking to your upholstery. While no dog is truly hypoallergenic, there's a threshold at which people with allergies tend to react to the dander (which is made up of dead skin cells) or saliva that causes sufferers to feel itchy, sneezy or short of breath. As an added bonus, dogs that shed less can help cut down on cleaning up all of that stubborn hair around the house. The experts at the American Kennel Club have pinpointed a whole array of dogs with lots of love to give, with less shedded fur to collect. From small dogs (like Bichons and Yorkies) to medium-sized pooches (like Poodles and Portuguese Water Dogs) to larger pups (consider the Giant Schnauzer), you’ll find your new best friend among these hypoallergenic dogs that don’t shed, and also happen to make great family pets. And when you welcome your pup to its new fur-ever home, check out these fun dog toys to help show them just how much they're loved.
