Pixar has been releasing a series of animated shorts, and the most recent one features the animation company’s first openly gay lead character! The short, appropriately titled Out, follows the lead character, Greg, as he navigates coming out to his parents so he can take a big step with his partner, Manuel. With a little help from his adorable pup and some magic, he learns that there’s really nothing to hide when he’s being himself. Warning: this one is dangerously heartwarming.
Remember coloring pictures of your family as a kid, and you had to kind of just work with the colors you had as far as skin tone went? No matter how light or dark your skin, there just wasn’t ever the right color, even in the 64 crayon mega pack, and mixing colors only had so-so results. Well, Crayola is here with a fix! The new Colors of the World pack has 24 different, unique skin tones, and 8 eye and hair colors. Developed with the former chief chemist of MAC cosmetics, you know they’ve covered all of their bases!
We’re all familiar with the Marvel Cinematic Universe at this point! the blockbuster movies have swept records away over the past 10 years. However, if you weren’t a fan of the original comics before the movies, you may not be aware of what the original comic characters looked like!

Created by data-driven agency Ayzenberg and Soulmates.AI chief scientist Dr. J. Galen Buckwalter, the quiz is based on the HEXACO model (Honesty, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Openness), and takes a look at your psyche through 20 multiple-choice questions.
