A Hilarious And Beautiful Song About All The Crazy Stuff Women Do To Look Good

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to look nice. By all means, feel free to do any or all of the things listed in this video if they make you feel good. But isn’t it kind of sad that so many of us feel like we need to practically turn ourselves into another person by jumping through all these beautification hoops just to leave the house?

What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done in the name of beauty? Tweet me @ryeisenberg!

If the part at 2:17 makes you as sad as it made me, maybe you should share this video to show solidarity and bravery and stuff. Just sayin’.

These Comments About Politicians Are Too Mean To Be True. But They ARE True.

This really reminds me of when atypical activists like Bob Dylan and Marvin Gaye would write something wonderful in protest of the times they lived in.

Share this if you agree with him — or disagree. Or, you can share it if you just like the song like I do.

The lyrics:

Pushing poison to our children

Still promoting class division

We are starving, but you are fat

Don’t know why they do us like that

Politicians, you better get right

These conditions ain’t no good for life

Whose decision is it anyway, yours or mine?

Making promises you can’t keep

Hungry wolves dressed like sheep

Shake our hands, stab our backs

Don’t know why they do us like that

Politicians, you better get right

These conditions ain’t no good for life

Whose decision is it anyway, yours or mine?

Free country’s not so free

Ain’t no hope for you and me

From the power-hungry money fiends

Ruling the world behind the scenes

Politicians, you better get right

These conditions ain’t no good for life

Whose decision is it anyway, yours or mine?

Oh beautiful for spacious sky

For amber waves of grain

For purple mountain’s majesty

Above the fruited plain

America, America,

God shed his grace on thee

And crowned thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea.

3 Non-White Actresses Show Up To An Audition. I Think We Know Where This Is Going.

My favorite part: “Yeah, leading ladies are quirky hipsters wearing vintage dresses. Tiny, pouty pixies, blue-eyed and precious. We don’t care. We’re Zooey Deschanel in our dreams.”

They All Thought The Mom's Boyfriend Murdered Her Little Girl. The Real Killer Was Far Scarier.

Jamie DeWolf, storyteller, has a pretty personal one to share. It involves a child abduction and abuse case, but I urge you to listen all the way through. It’s a hard listen, but an important one.

To keep informed on what is being done to protect children from abduction, please Like the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children on Facebook.

UPDATE: Jamie wrote the following on his facebook wall since we published this:
“Since the release of the story, I’ve talked to people who were on the search teams marching through the hills and reporters who interviewed the Wolf face to face, and heard parts of his sickening confession from his mouth. He was worse than you can imagine. Old neighbors have messaged me who still remember the little girl who was always walking by herself.

But more importantly, the 8 year old girl who escaped is named Midsi. 15 years later, she’s grown up and now works for a missing children center and the Polly Klaas Foundation. Which is incredible. Someone posted this performance on her FB wall, and to be honest I was terrified it would be traumatizing to hear. She said, “I want to shake this man’s hand…feeling blessed.” Now I’m hoping to meet her all these years later in person. It’s a heavy thing, but thank you to everyone for helping make that happen. Let’s share this more, show it folks who haven’t seen it, it matters.”
