Closing the Emotional Buffet.
The word mistress implies a secret. It suggests a woman hidden away in the dark, kept under lock and key, brought out only when it is convenient, and tucked back into the shadows when the real world demands attention. But an emotional mistress doesn’t hide her body; she hides her soul. She is the woman who leaves the door to her mind wide open, allowing broken, fragile, hollow men to walk inside, dust their boots off, dump their heavy baggage on her rug, and drink until they are full.

The Big Apple Breakdown: . Content Warning.
There are a lot of things you can find in a gritty Maine gas station. Red hot dogs rolling under a heat lamp that’s definitely older than the clerk's grandparents. Coffee that tastes like it was brewed during the Carter administration and left to rot. A wall of scratch tickets promising hope to people who can't afford it and delivering absolutely fucking nothing. And, of course, whoopie pies. The real ones. The kind wrapped in plastic that fogs up from the humidity of the cake. The kind that taste like childhood, pure sugar, and the exact brand of comfort you only seek out when you’re standing under buzzing fluorescent lights at nine o’clock at night, wondering how your life got this profoundly weird.

Researchers find that oral microorganisms are significantly more varied than anticipated.
Saliva continuously passes through your mouth, cleaning your teeth, tongue, and gums while transporting any bacteria it comes into contact with. There is nothing that prevents a microbe from moving from one side of the mouth to the other.

Researchers uncover the underlying mechanics of word propagation.
The term "roly-poly," which refers to the little, grey crustacean that curls into a ball, was exclusive to the South in the 1950s. The term had swept the nation forty-five years later. No textbook taught it, and no broadcaster promoted it.
