Relationships are a two-way street in all aspects. While partners do cover for each other every now and then, there still needs to be a certain level of balance. Over the past few decades, the institution of marriage in the United States has seen a significant decline of about 60% since the 1970s, reports CNBC. While there are various factors contributing to this trend, content creator Katie Hanlon—who goes by @thekatiehanlon on TikTok—has mentioned some less-discussed yet crucial factors that can often lead to relationship breakdowns.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

A woman on Reddit is explaining why she is refusing to give up shifts to her co-worker despite the co-worker always needing money. "I (21f) am a college student home for the summer. I work at a restaurant as a server. I started here when I was 16 as a hostess. I have a coworker (29f) who is fairly new, so she only gets 2-3 shifts per week. She knew this would be the case when she was hired. Our manager gives more shifts to those with seniority (unless of course we ask for less). Anyway, this woman is constantly complaining about her financial situation. She complains about not getting enough shifts. She also complains about not getting scheduled for busy shifts, which isn’t necessarily true. She always works at least one weekend night which of course is our busiest time. She picks up extra shifts for people when someone wants the day off which is nice of her, but it’s getting to the point where she expects it, and she’s putting people in awkward situations," she begins.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days. Most models show it moving into the Gulf of Mexico and then coming ashore and crossing the state, possibly moving over Northeast Florida.

Divorces are not happy affairs. The realization that the person you imagined the rest of your life with at one point in time, no longer fits with your present, is heartbreaking. If betrayal is mixed in this process, it becomes more tenuous for a person. Katelynn Smith, who goes by @katelynn0009 on Instagram, not only had to face betrayal from her husband but also from her best friend. The fact that two people she put her trust in, dealt her such massive blows, was a tough pill to swallow. However, being a strong woman, she took it all in and is now in a better place. But she does not want to forget this incident, as it gave her some important lessons for life, especially in the case of relationships. She shared it all in an Instagram post.

Kelly Boehmer’s soft sculptures tap into an anxiety familiar to all of us—the type that originates in early childhood, and whose peaks and valleys can intensify with the premature arrival of major life stressors. The thrilling, sensory decadence of her vibrant plush creatures nod to the twinned potentials of Jim Henson’s monsters; shifting abruptly between irreverent, puerile fun, and visceral creepiness. At the same time, her work is a reminder of just how frightening and unpredictable the first years of life can be—when one lacks even a basic knowledge of the world’s relative certainties. Her sewn creations don’t stay in childhood forever. They peer through a lens that comes with maturity—recalling haptic memories from the distant past that have been colored by adult introspection, and perhaps even trauma.
