Being respectful to the people repairing your home is only common sense. However, common sense is in short supply. In this day and age, you’d think that everyone would understand that men and women are equally capable of pursuing any profession they desire.

Well, fortunately, there are employers with good values who will stand up for their workers no matter what....

Few nations spark people’s curiosity as much as North Korea . The East Asian country, ruled by the third-generation totalitarian leader Kim Jong-un since 2011, is notoriously private, and little is known about its residents’ lifestyles . The nation closed its borders in 2020. Before that, the few tourists who managed to visit it couldn’t use their phones to photograph whatever they pleased. Photos could only capture tourist sights, as anything beyond that could potentially expose people to legal complications....

Photoshop has become synonymous with “beautifying” photos that would otherwise have imperfections. In some cases, this is OK, and magazines and online media do some photo editing with a subject’s consent. Recently, however, a group going by the name of “Project Harpoon” (Facebook page presently shut down) has drawn criticism for photoshopping plus-size models to appear thinner. An offshoot of ThInnerBeauty, a website, and subreddit, the group aims to “inspire” its targets to lose weight....

They say laughter is the best medicine, unless the joke’s on you, and the “medicine” feels more like a punch to the gut. Dark humor walks a tricky tightrope between funny and painfully cruel, and sometimes what’s meant to be ironic just ends up being, well, ironic in the worst way. The story shared by today’s Original Poster (OP) is a prime example of how humor can backfire spectacularly when it’s used as a weapon instead of a bridge....

You’ve all heard of Krampus but you may not know the Legend of Frau Perchta The Christmas Witch. Tales come from Austrian and Bavarian tradition. ⁣ Frau Perchta — much like Santa Claus — will reward good children and punish the bad. She also punishes women for unkempt households and unspun flax. For those she deems good, a silver coin is left for them. If she deems you unworthy, if you forget to leave out a bowl of porridge for her, if your flax is half spun and unfinished, she slits open your abdomen, removes your organs, and replaces them with straw....

I create works that are somewhere in between street art, pottery, painting and sculpture. Most of my work consist of prints of traditional laces, made in clay or painted on the walls. Why laces? Because in laces there is an aesthetic code, which is deeply embedded in every culture. In every lace we find symmetry, some kind of order and harmony, isn’t that what we all seek for instinctively? Why street art?...

I am used to shooting abandoned places with buildings as opposed to structures so this was to be very different to explore that was challenging due to harsh light and heat, although incredibly enjoyable and unique....

Surviving a flight on a packed plane, especially when there’s serious air travel chaos going on in the world right now, can be a daunting mission.

Blink and you miss it, but the ladybug has long been a symbol of good luck. Still, unlike the four-leaf clover or the grasshopper, its status as a lucky charm isn’t as universally known.

Some are whimsical, even far-fetched, yet they make you pause and wonder: “Could this really be a sign of good luck?...
