Feeling angry and defeated Hi there. I’m dealing with a bit of a resurgence of suicidal ideation. I’ve dealt with depression for 23 years. I’ve been hospitalized for attempts twice, but they were in my younger years and looking back both times were out of panic, out of feeling trapped with my intense emotions during stressful times and out of a great desire to escape or immediately change the situation I was in.

  WHY DO DOGS SNIFF YOUR PRIVATE AREA? As an animal owner, it is your responsibility to feed and take care of them. Part of being a good hooman to your pet is knowing ways to communicate with them and knowing why your pet behaves in a particular way. There are people who know reasons why their dogs smell their private areas, but also some people aren’t yet aware what this behaviour pertains. The reason behind dogs sniffing behaviour according to a site named Master Bowie, “is gathering information and saying hello. We have sweat glands, apocrine glands to be precise, which release pheromones that convey all different types of information (eg. age, sex, mood, health). These glands are heavily concentrated in the armpits and genitals. Well… since they can’t reach the armpits, so crotch it is…”. Dogs cannot speak so they have their own ways. Your dog is just trying to know you, but if you’re embarrassed with this innate behaviour, you can redirect it by training your dog; giving treat...

The “Black men are bigger” myth just got debunked Spoiler alert: The whole “big Black men have big dicks” trope is a giant myth. If you’ve ever wondered why do Black people have big dicks—or more accurately, why people think Black men do—buckle up. This age-old (and pretty racist) stereotype just got debunked. We’re about to unpack how this penis size myth started, why it persists (looking at you, porn and dating apps), and how it harms Black men (gay, straight, and beyond) in real life. As he bares it all (pun not intended),  psychologist Bill Johnson  spoke his classic  HuffPo   op-ed  piece on the complex issue of stereotypes, challenging preconceptions about size, and the quest for self-acceptance in the Black community. Let’s take a look at the “Black men are bigger” stereotype “I have a problem with my dick size…it’s not big and I want it to be! … I’m also Black, and the ‘word’ is all Black men have a large phallus.” Psychologist Bill Johnson in his H...
