Abby Norman, a former teacher from Atlanta, Georgia, spent nine years "loving the students and the learning and despising the testing and the paper-pushing of the classroom." She then called it quits. In a tweet, Norman explained why she chose to give up the profession and is now working as a bartender. "I quit my teaching job and now make more bartending for 15 fewer hours [every] week. Also, I get blamed for way less and get told thank you way more. No lesson plans or grading papers," she wrote. "Remember this when people ask about the teacher shortage."

Editor's note: This article was originally published on February 22, 2023. It has since been updated. A video of a baby stroller left outside unattended sparked conversations about the practice of letting babies nap alone in cold weather. Australian TikTok user, Olly Bowman uploaded a video titled, "Another day in Norway, another group of babies left out alone in the cold." In the video, Bowman films himself and a group of baby strollers lined up on the street behind him. No parents were seen in the frame. "It helps with their breathing and makes them more independent," he said.

It seemingly began with a TikTok video from Kati Morton, a licensed marriage and family therapist, that spawned countless tweets, Instagram posts, clubs, hashtags (#BigSisEnergy), think pieces, and yes, even merch. The reason for its virality can be debated, but more likely than not, it’s because being the eldest daughter is a hyper-relatable, shared experience that spans geographies, ages, incomes, and creeds. Morton herself said she felt it resonated “because it spoke to people about a specific issue that they couldn’t put their finger on.”
