RED PAAAAAAAANDAAAAAAS. Also, the bottom right GIF? I can neither confirm or deny that’s what the mock fights and bickering between the StuntHusband and I resemble. NO COMMENT.

Do small children frequently run screaming in terror at the sight of your face? Do you often find Zoologists staring at you for extended periods while wearing a quizzical expression? If so, then you may be zoologically improbable and/or terrify to small children!
10/10 imaginary doctors agree that you should buy this lovely shirt in order to inform those around you of your “condition”.

‘Alien Skulls Found in Mexico’ Story Exposes Racist Media
The ‘alien skulls found in Mexico’ articles took off last week, each one more ridiculous than the last.
The worse of the bunch may’ve been this one published on TIME’s NewsFeed blog: “Ancient Conehead-like ‘Alien’ Skulls Unearthed in Mexico,” read the headline.
It’s called skull elongation, and it’s been practiced at some point in almost every part of the world. From Russia to Africa and back to Mexico, there are thousands of documented cases of this type of body modification. Calling these skulls “alien” crosses the line. It’s journalism at its worst: racist and sensational.
The piece written by Melissa Locker starts off by referencing “Coneheads,” an old Saturday Night Live sketch. It’s was all downhill from there.
“‘This was a Hispanic cemetery with 25 skulls, and 13 of them have deformed heads,’ Cristina Garcia Moreno, who worked on the project with Arizona State University, told ABC News,” writes Locker. Of course, there weren’t Hispanic cemeteries in Mexico in 945 A.D., for the Spanish didn’t arrive until almost 600 years later in 1519. Although this was likely a misquote or a bad translation on the part of ABC News, it illustrates the carelessness and complete ignorance often displayed by English-language media when covering Mexico-related stories.
In this case, TIME and Locker took it one step further. Not only did Ms. Locker appear to cut-and-paste much of her piece from ABC News - who had it wrong to begin with, she trivialized this archeological find by comparing the remains of people indigenous to Mexico to an obscure ’70s TV alien family.
TIME hasn’t taken any steps to correct the errors in the story. Even worse, major Spanish-language news outlets have begun repeating the errors first published by ABC News, TIME, and then The Huffington Post.

Coneheads report news for the rest of us in an attempt to elongate our ignorance.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art
As massive leg-o-mutton sleeves became fashionable in the 1890s, they often required some support from garments like this one.

"If you choose not to participate in the trend of wearing risqué costumes, more power to you. However, I think it’s dangerous to develop a superior attitude toward other women who want to show some skin. In other words, do your thing, but respect other women who feel confident about their bodies. I recall on a Halloween a few years ago when a woman screamed “sluts!” out a car window as she drove past a group of scantily clad women. For the guys who witnessed that incident, it may have reinforced the acceptability of using those terms. If other women wearing those types of costumes really bothers you, it may be time to examine exactly why it gets on your nerves. Imagine if women complimented each other when they saw each other out in skimpy costumes, and defended each other against sexist, slut-shaming remarks? It would certainly make my Halloween a lot better if women viewed each other in solidarity."
