What It's Like To Live With Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

You probably aren't "a little obsessive-compulsive." I know because I am.

When A Queer Woman Counts Calories

I thought being in love with a woman meant I was immune to patriarchal beauty standards. Turns out, my girlfriend didn’t prevent me from having an eating disorder — but she did help nourish my recovery.

Charles Barkley Attempts To Do Yoga, Is Not Totally Terrible At It

What does one do in between the downtime of presenting NBA playoff games? For Charles Barkley, it’s (attempting) to get in some yoga.

The Round Mound of Rebound, who now serves as an NBA analyst for TNT, tried his very best to do a downward dog, and possibly some other positions? We’re not really sure.

...meanwhile, in the viewing room, Chuck shows off his yoga poses.

Posted by NBA on TNT on Sunday, 19 April 2015


Barkley has shared his thoughts on yoga before. Last fall, he told Jimmy Fallon that yoga is "just stretching in a hot room."

“You’re not trying to find your inner peace, or anything, you’re just trying to get your leg in a position that it normally doesn’t go in,” Barkley quipped, (also sharing that he even had plans to attend a SoulCycle session with his daughter).

All joking aside, Barkley did say in 2013 that Bikram yoga was “fantastic” for stretching as he’s gotten older.

Huge Explosion From Airstrikes Rock Yemeni Capital

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian state TV says an airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition has hit close to the Iranian Embassy in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, shattering windows but causing no casualties or injuries.

The report says Iran's Foreign Ministry summoned the kingdom's envoy to Tehran to protest over the bombing on Monday. It quotes Iran's deputy foreign minister, Hossein Amir Abdollahian, as warning the Saudis to abide by their international obligations and respect diplomatic missions. The report adds that Tehran holds Riyadh responsible for the safety of its mission in Sanaa.

Sanaa came under heavy bombardment on Monday as Saudi-led coalition warplanes targeted weapon caches held by Iranian-backed Shiite rebels known as the Houthis who have seized much of Yemen.

The Saudi air campaign in Yemen is now in its fourth week.

Scott Disick's View On Pubic Hair Is Totally Offensive

Sunday's "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" got dark. Scott Disick, Lord of Calabasas, is also apparently the lord of Kourtney Kardashian's pubic hair. One of the B-plots throughout the episode was Kourtney's nude pregnancy photo shoot with Brian Bowen Smith and Scott's desire for Kourtney to trim her pubic hair for the photos. "It's a little offensive," he told her when she confronted him about his request. Nah, Scott. You're a little offensive.

Sure, everyone has preferences, but Scott's disgust with Kourtney's "unkept lawn" makes it seem like it's inappropriate or unruly for a woman -- let alone a pregnant woman -- to have ungroomed pubic hair. (It's not, by the way.) On a call with Smith, Scott joked that he'll need a weed-whacker to cut through her pubic hair. "When her stomach is hanging over things, I don't think she gets how unkept her lawn can get," he said later in a confessional. "I think she forgets hair still grows downstairs."

As the episode continued, Kourtney told Scott she'd be open to shaving her pubic hair but needed his help. "It's lucky enough that I can shave my legs," she said. "There's a huge stomach here in the way so you're asking a lot to shave down there. I'm down. I just need some assistance."

His response: "Her bush is hanging out like it's the '80s and I'm not going to stand for that. If I have to get my hands dirty I will."

Last year, the Guardian declared 2014 "the year of the bush," but the reemergence of female pubic hair in pop culture has been undeniable for years now. Even the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" cast spent a good portion of last week's reunion talking about Lisa Rinna and Lisa Vanderpump's pubic hair. "I've got it down to my knees, for God's sake," Vanderpump had said earlier in the season.

So, shut it down, Scott. A woman's pubic hair is her own.

Denver Police Tweet Supportive Marijuana Message For 4/20 Rally

In what may go down as the coolest police tweet of all time, the Denver Police Department posted a message of tolerance for the "420" marijuana festivities taking place in the city over the weekend.

Late Sunday afternoon, on the second and last day of a massive annual 4/20 marijuana rally at Denver's Civic Center Park, Denver police tweeted this:




In a single lighthearted tweet, the Denver police illustrate just how far the drug war has been rolled back in Colorado -- which, in 2012, became the first state in the U.S. to legalize recreational marijuana -- with a play on lyrics from Chamillionaire's 2007 Grammy-winning song "Ridin'." By any objective standard, that is a pretty cool way for a police department to send a message to the public. When The Huffington Post sent a tweet to the police department account asking about the song referenced, the department noted that "#PoliceLikeToJamToo."

Although private recreational marijuana use has been legalized in the state, public consumption of the drug is still illegal. However, it does still occur, especially at large events. Denver police generally make enforcement of that law on 4/20 a low priority and target only the most egregious offenders.

Considering that an estimated 125,000 people attended the rally over the course of the weekend and that Denver police issued only approximately 160 total citations, it appears that police stuck to that strategy. The Associated Press reported Sunday that the police had seen no major issues throughout the weekend.

The police tweeted friendly reminders all weekend about the state's marijuana law, asking people to "consume responsibly" and "make safety a priority" and noting that officers would "prefer not to be buzzkills" at the marijuana gathering.

Although the real "Weed Day" is Monday, a new city ordinance that puts a moratorium on three-day events limited rally organizers to celebrate all things cannabis for just the weekend.
