Twitter Account Proves Chris Evans is a Golden Retriever, One Photo at a Time

Chris Evans might just be the best Chris of all. He seems so down-to-earth and sweet – remember when he helped Viola Davis up the stairs at the Oscars?!

When you think about it, Chris Evans has a lot in common with a golden retriever: he is smart and sweet and loving and universally appreciated. Hence why the Twitter account Chris Evans as golden retrievers exists.

The page has 146 tweets, so apparently there is no shortage of photos where Chris looks like a happy golden pup.

It helps that people love to dress their Golden Retrievers in outfits.

But really, it’s hard to argue with this striking similarity.

Sad Chris! Sad pup!

Who’s better at school? Hmmmm.

Would happily hang out with either, TBH.

Squinty face Chris! Squinty face pup!

I MEAN COME ON NOW.

Who runs this page? Do they have a GoFundMe? Can I buy them a drink?

Who looks better in sunglasses? Tough race.

Ugh, best Twitter account ever.

This Brilliant Comic Provides the Perfect Definition of “Mansplaining”

The subjects of equality, gender, and feminism come up a lot these days, and you may have also heard the term “mansplaining” being thrown around in conversation. But what does that actually mean? Is it something you may be guilty of?

In an effort to clarify some of the confusion surrounding the term, the folks at The Nib created a delightful comic that helps answer those questions and more.

Mansplaining isn’t just a term for men trying to explain something – it’s a systematic pattern of ignoring the perspectives and knowledge of women.

A lot of men I know get instantly defensive when they’re accused of mansplaining, but it’s not meant as a personal attack. It’s merely a way to bring into consciousness a culturally pervasive behavior that needs to be recognized before it can be changed.

Simply put, female voices tend to go unheard more often than not. This happens through all stages of their lives.

Mansplaining/lack of female perspective can be seen across all forms of media, but it’s even more glaringly obvious when it comes to debates about women’s rights or gender equality.

Mansplaining is hardly the only form of silencing that occurs on a cultural level. Minorities have always faced the threat of being silenced by the majority.

The best thing we can do to try to make a change for the better is to consciously and consistently make sure we are listening to all of the voices in the room, and to make an effort to bring any missing voices to the table.

The “Florida Man” Challenge is Going Viral, and For Good Reason

By now I think we all know that Florida is WEIRD. As if the sunny weather, the beaches, and the oranges weren’t enough, it’s chock full of the weirdest people you’ve ever heard of.

So, some brilliant mind came up with this idea…

So go ahead and give it a shot. Here’s mine for February 27: “Slice of pizza convinced Gulf Breeze man to end police standoff.”

See what I’m talkin’ about?!?! That is pretty damn impressive. I guarantee you’ll have a good time.

Here are some wonderful examples of the different results people ended up with.

I can’t get enough of this…and I can’t wait for my next trip to the Sunshine State.

Viral Hashtag “#AbledsAreWeird” Shows Just How Much Crap Disabled People Deal With Daily

Disabled people face challenges like lack of access and accommodations on a daily basis, but you might be surprised by how many of those challenges are presented in the form of ignorance or stigma from people who aren’t educated (or don’t care to be) when it comes to interacting with people different than they are.

If you’re interested in learning, Twitter user Imani Barbarin has your back – she created #AbledsAreWeird to give other disabled people a platform to share their stories and encounters with abled people who reacted in…let’s just say not the most optimal way.

#1. First of all, mind your own business.

#2. You definitely can’t have it both ways.

#3. Too many teachers behaving badly on this list.

#4. One more time for the people in the back.

#5. Take a look in a mirror, lady.

#6. I have sympathy rage.

#7. That’s taking “stranger danger” a bit far.

#8. No, you definitely don’t.

#9. That poor kid.

#10. Not an excuse.

#11. Actions speak louder than words.

#12. What is WRONG with people?

#13. Definitely not a friend.

#14. What does that even mean?

#15. You can’t be serious.

#16. This is what middle fingers were made for, I’m pretty sure.

#17. Like a deer in headlights.

The more you know!

After Losing 400 lbs Together, This Couple Recreated Their Old Photos to Celebrate

One of life’s great tragedies is losing weight SO much harder than gaining it. Even if you only need to lose a couple of pounds, it can be a pretty long process, so imagine what it’s like to have to lose a few hundred.

Indiana residents Lexi Reed and her husband Danny knew they both needed to commit to a healthier lifestyle, and the duo lost an incredible 400 pounds (combined) in only 18 months. It’s easy to see the transformation in these ‘before and after’ photos.

Lexi said, “We didn’t have a meal plan, surgery, personal trainer, but what we did have was each other and the motivation within to work hard every single day. We wanted to be parents in the future and live a longer life together.” Lexi and Danny recreated some of their old photos to show just how dramatic both of their transformations have been.

Lexi said, “Together we started meal prepping, drinking water instead of soda, quit watching television and started moving more, going to the gym just 30 minutes five times a week, focusing on our future every day, setting goals – and day by day the weight took care of its self.” Lexi used to weigh nearly 500 pounds, and now she weighs just 182.

Great work, Lexi and Danny! This is an inspiring story about how we can all reach our goals, if we stick with them and work hard.

Viral Twitter Thread Perfectly Explains Why Nobody Should “Wait for You” to Change

Stop me if you’ve heard this one – girl meets boy, they fall in love, boy needs to grow up, girl keeps waiting for him to do it. It happens way too often. If it hasn’t happened to you personally, it probably did to someone you know.

Well, this Twitter thread is for you.

Twitter user @awkward_duck shared a heartbreaking tale of how a friend of hers (a guy) kept screwing up and not taking his relationship seriously. Result: relationship lost.

The set up…

2 years?!?

You never have anybody “on hold”

She told you bro!

Well, it worked for Offset and Cardi B, so…

Gotta let it go, bro…

Gotta fix yourself first…

Wait… 7 years?!

Don’t do the math. Just don’t.

Look in the mirror bro

You blew it

She is fixing to get married. What do you not understand about that?

Being a friend means tough love sometimes…

Naturally, so many could relate and shared their own experiences…

TBH, last minute saves are insulting…

Please be with me so I can take advantage…

Take care of yourself first

This.

So many don’t even know this about themselves!

Yep.

After 67K+ retweets and 165k+ likes, Brown tweeted her appreciation for people picking up her words and sharing them with the world. She also gave us all some advice we could use right now:

The more you can work on you and feel better about who YOU are, the more you’ll be ready to meet that person who fits with the happiest (or happier) version of you.

Truth!

10 Hilarious Bulletin Boards That Prove Teachers Have a Great Sense of Humor

I’ve said before and I’ll say it again: teachers are amazing and ridiculously overvalued. They educate our kids and help shape their minds in ways that can have long-lasting effects on their lives. A great teacher can bring a smile to every child’s life.

One way they do that is via classroom bulletin boards. They’re a great spot to display student work and remind them about relevant information. Some teachers take the extra step of making their bulletin boards especially awesome. Here are some of the best:

1. A reminder from Cardi B to read

Photo Credit: Pinterest

2. A fun nod to “In My Feelings”

Photo Credit: Pinterest

3. They can be punny

Photo Credit: Pinterest

4. A message from Ross

Photo Credit: Pinterest

5. A fun way to show kids some new reading options

Photo Credit: Pinterest

6. A clever take on “Rake It Up”

Photo Credit: Pinterest

7. A reminder of the importance of science

Photo Credit: Pinterest

8. A fun way to answer an annoying question

Photo Credit: Pinterest

9. An amusing one for Christmas

Photo Credit: Pinterest

10. Memes are the best

Photo Credit: Pinterest

Teachers spend all their time with kids, so maybe it’s not so surprising that they actually know about pop culture and stuff…

But my teachers were not this cool.

Here’s Why All of Twitter is Tossing Their Vans in the Air

One of the fun things about the internet is that it allows a lot of people to come together and revel in their shared insanity. You can put up a crazy theory about literally anything and you’ll probably find scores of other strangers who want to play along.

Well, that’s exactly what happened with all this Vans business. It all started when @lanacutherlip posted this little gem:

Of course, everyone else needed to get it on the action:

And a new meme was born.

Naturally, parents just didn’t understand.

But neither did anyone else.

Some people even took the challenge to new heights…

While others thought they had it figured out…

And of course, everyone else tried to debunk the theory (yes! science!)

It just didn’t work every time

But this is Twitter after all, so we had to up the ante somehow…

But the Crocs theory seemed to hold up…

Oh, Twitter… sometimes I worry about you. But you do keep me entertained…
