  • Gay German politician, Spahn, recently resigned after announcing that he and his husband had a baby via a surrogate mother from the USA.

    Why? Just a few years ago he supported legislation that made surrogate motherhood illegal in Germany. (Technically, using a surrogate mother from another country wasn’t illegal, but the whole point of the law was his party of Christian values said it was immoral.)

    Not really sure what he thought would happen.













  • Products for curly hair are designed to minimize the negative effects of curls (such as frizzyness) while attempting to accentuate the curl.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a product for straight hair other than maybe a straightening iron (and mists, etc. designed to be used before/after ironing), which does indeed iron your hair in an attempt to make it straighter. Edit: straightening your hair with an iron only lasts until you wash it again (or it gets wet by other means, including heavy humidity).

    There are two exceptions to this: a permanent (“perm”) solution does actually make your hair more curly. Despite being called permanent, it only lasts a few weeks or months. The opposite of this is called a hair relaxer. It’ll make your hair more straight for a similar amount of time. Both of these are more harsh chemicals, and people generally go to a salon to get them done professionally. There are also home versions sold.

    In summary, read the entire package before you use it on your hair.
