It wasn't long ago that the stigma of talking about one's mental health forced many people to stay silent. Now though, messages encouraging people to share their struggles and seek help are widespread, including on Instagram , in public service announcements , and in celebrity interviews . Even Burger King recently launched a campaign to raise awareness and mark Mental Health Awareness Month .  Yet it's one thing to notice and appreciate this newfound acceptance and another to acknowledge to someone else that you're experiencing a mental health condition or illness. People typically avoid disclosing that information for several reasons, including internalized stigma and shame, fear of rejection, worry about discrimination at work, and uncertainty about whether they need treatment.   Read more...

Swamp Thing leans in on backwoods swampy horror and it works so well. The first episode of DC’s newest series Swamp Thing premiered on the DC Universe streaming service Friday and it’s a fantastic kick-off to what will hopefully be a weird, exciting, and unsettling series. Set in a small town in Louisiana, the premiere of Swamp Thing acts as an origin story and sets up a mysterious, deadly threat that looks to be perfectly suited for a man who's been turned into walking vegetation. It takes some of the best aspects of the undeniably bizarre Swamp Thing comics through the years and dives right in, which is all we really want from comic book movies and shows, right? Read more...

Ever since the rise of femtech, period tracking apps have vowed to make women’s health easier to control and understand. But lately we’ve seen data and privacy breaches, worrying stats about “success” rates, and questionable marketing strategies. This week is no different.A report from the Guardian found that fertility app Femm has been funded by anti-abortion and anti-gay campaigners. The non-hormonal contraceptive app has donations from various Catholic-Church associated groups. Launched in 2015, Femm now has over 400,000 downloads and claims to “empower women” by giving them control over their menstrual cycle — while encouraging them to avoid hormonal birth… This story continues at The Next Web View Source

When this reporter some movie fans learned that comedians Ali Wong and Randall Park were teaming up to write and star in a rom-com, the reaction was effectively "inject it directly into my veins." Their Netflix outing Always Be My Maybe , directed by Fresh Off the Boat 's Nahnatchka Khan, doesn't defy genre conventions, but it feels like a triumph nonetheless. The film thrives in embracing its own weirdness and showcasing its writer-stars, which is all we wanted out of it anyway. Always Be My Maybe is the story of Sasha (Wong) and Marcus (Park), two childhood best friends who reunite over a decade after an awkward sexual encounter. The film forgoes unpacking this in the interest of time; it's right after the sudden death of Marcus's mom, who was more of a mother to Sasha than she ever felt her own was. It dissolves a decade of friendship in mere minutes and ends with Sasha storming out, the sting of a rejected crush erasing any instinct to be there for a...

The other day a coworker and I were chatting about our phone’s home screens and the way we organize our app icons. We spent a good amount of time describing to one another our implicit rules on how we prioritize homepage icons, how we choose apps that will sit on the edge vs. the middle of the screen, how we thoughtfully select the ones that will stay fixed on the bottom dock. We were verbally documenting our own unspoken rules on how we had “designed” our phone home screen experience. Here’s where I stand as of today: I try to limit… This story continues at The Next Web View Source
