The whole internet collaborated and couldn’t find what this is. I’m not sure what this is, ninety percent of people don’t know too.🤔

Am I overreacting? I bought a sweater for my future niece, and my roommates said it was ugly! I ordered from the local crafter, I wanted support her, cause I love this community, and I think its pretty nice, but my roommates said it was ugly My sister in law is pregnant and I found this sweater for the baby girl at a Mexican farmers market today. (Baby is half mexican half islander) I brought it home and excitedly showed it to my roommates and they called it ugly. I told them they were mean and have been keeping to myself for the night. They have me doubting if I should give it to my sister in law. Credit - Maryam Mary

I’m getting married at seventy-two, and my daughter told me I was wasting money on a wedding dress. We were standing in the kitchen, her arms crossed, when she said that at my age no one expects anything elegant, and asked why I couldn’t just wear something I already had in my closet—especially since this would be my third marriage. What she didn’t know was this: at my first wedding I was nineteen and pregnant; I wore my mother’s dress, which smelled like a closed wardrobe. At the second, I was forty-one and completely broken-hearted; I got married at city hall in a beige suit, because I had stopped believing in love. But this time I want lace. I want crystals. I want to feel hopeful again. I want to believe that hope isn’t a privilege reserved only for women in their twenties who haven’t yet learned what it means to fall. I found a secondhand white dress for one hundred euros, and when I tried it on, I didn’t see tired skin or the weight I can no longer lose. I saw a woman who survived two divorces, raised three children on her own, and still believes that love can work. I embellished it by hand with small sky-blue crystals and appliqués I sewed myself, sitting at the table with my glasses slipping down my nose, proving to myself that I’m still worth this kind of care. Now I was looking for an idea for my hair. I didn’t want a veil—not at my age—and every image I found showed girls who could have been my granddaughters. So I asked other women like me for advice, and I was flooded with responses from women in their sixties and seventies, telling me about fresh flowers, vintage clips, and faces no longer trying to look young, just real. I ordered small pearl hairpins and tried them with a soft, loose updo. Yesterday my daughter saw me and started to cry. She said I looked beautiful. And she apologized—for making me feel like I didn’t deserve this anymore. I told her that everyone deserves to feel beautiful at least once in their life. Even—and especially—those of us with gray hair, who have already made our mistakes.

The petition demanding Michael Ma resign just crossed 37,000 signatures. The site now calls it a victory. Let that sink in. Ma won his seat as a Conservative with 27,000 votes. More Canadians are now demanding he step down than ever voted him in.
