That Fanny Pack Will Not Get You Laid

Now here’s an interesting way to sell condoms. Attached to lime green fanny packs which were distributed on bikes left in parks in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boulder, Austin and San Diego are 2″ square hang tag/booklets which read, in part, “This is a complimentary fanny pack. When worn as a fashion accessory by a man, it makes for excellent birth control. No man has ever been seduced while wearing a fanny pack in the history of the fanny pack. In the event you prefer your birth control to involve actual intercourse, may we suggest Sir Richard’s Condoms.”

The campaign comes from TDA_Boulder.

Children who were taught that crying meant weakness and that asking for help was a burden often exhibit these 9 traits as adults — and psychology says this is why so many boomers would rather sit in silence than admit they’re struggling

I hosted Christmas for my entire extended family for twenty-seven years and this year I said I wasn’t doing it anymore and my sister asked ‘Why?’ with genuine confusion – and I realized she’d never once considered that it was work, not joy, and that I might be exhausted

I’m 73 and the regrets I carry aren’t about the things I didn’t do — they’re about the version of myself I maintained for so long that the people closest to me spent their entire childhoods and marriages relating to a performance rather than a person, and I’m not sure how to account for that or whether accounting for it at this stage counts as enough
