Television has long archived the evolution of domestic life and the mother figures at its center. While viewers might not have closely tracked the many legislative wins and institutional changes that transformed the role of women in American families, TV makes it easy to compare the maternal norms of today to those of 50 years ago. Lucy Ricardo's slapstick antics in 1951's "I Love Lucy" highlighted just how conservative gender norms had become—and how eager people were to w...
Few animals exhibit the absolute, unadulterated joy of a dog greeting its human companion after they arrive home from a long day at work. Dog owners may ask, "Does anyone love me as much as my dog?" As times change, so too do pet owners' preferences when it comes to which breeds they bring home. Breeds once wildly popular just a few decades ago may have fallen out of fashion. In other cases, an underdog can rise to the top of the charts. Take the French bulldog, for instance,...
Beards are undeniably a part of today's cultural zeitgeist. The market is flooded with beard-care products, glitter beards are an actual trend, and there's even a recognized phobia of beards (pogonophobia), and dating apps for beard lovers. If that doesn't prove that beards have made their mark, what does? Still, plenty of men ask: Do women like beards? The short answer: It depends on the woman, the man, and the style. Fortunately, this isn't just casual barbershop chatter....

It's getting hard out there to be an everyday consumer. Prices are up, and so is unemployment. President Donald Trump's shifting positions on tariffs are contributing to a haze of economic uncertainty. Bracing for impact, shoppers are trimming their grocery runs and seeking discounts, and their confidence in the economy is plunging, according to The Conference Board. Wage growth has been slowing, and job seekers are heading into a job market downturn as businesses pause...

Since A&W Root Beer became the first American restaurant to franchise in 1925, the U.S.—not to mention the rest of the world—has been dominated by chains. Iconic establishments like the now-defunct Howard Johnson's trained customers to look toward its distinctive orange roofs for consistency and comfort, while McDonald's revolutionized the industry with its focus on speed and affordability. Over the years, chains have had a tremendous influence on American culture, from Lit...
With more than 350 million beloved cat companions in homes across the globe, the veterinary community has focused on research to keep them around for as long as possible. Cat owners today can expect their feline friends to live an average of 13 to 17 years. This is partially attributable to shifts in attitudes about indoor and outdoor domestic cats. In the United States, approximately 3 in 5 cats (63%) are indoors only. Indoor cats are known to live significantly longer than...
Mother's Day is an opportunity to recognize the presence, love, and influence of mother figures in all their forms—from biological mothers and grandmothers to stepmothers, chosen family, and mentors.

This year, instead of one-size-fits-all suggestions, VRAI, a fine jewelry brand specializing in lab-grown diamonds, suggests considering jewelry th...

In the modern job market, salary has long stood as the holy grail of employment decisions. Yet, in an age where medical bills can spiral into bankruptcy and health crises strike unexpectedly, a different factor has emerged as a silent but potent influence: healthcare benefits. Whether it's a routine doctor visit or catastrophic medical care, the cost-sharing structures employers offer can deeply affect employees' lives—and influence whether they accept, stay in, or leave a j...
Landlords looking to protect themselves from disputes and potential lawsuits should consider giving each tenant a rent receipt after every payment. One critical issue is how different states legislate them. Some require a receipt for every payment type, while others stipulate that renters only receive one for cash payments. It's a complex mish-mash of legality that begs a straightforward question: Why not just give a digital rent receipt to every tenant and avoid trouble down...
When it comes to getting the best tips, drivers know what works: Keep the car clean, help with luggage, and recommend local spots to eat. But at the end of the day, economic research suggests that tipping behavior is not just about the ride experience—it's also about the tippers themselves. We all might consider ourselves generous tippers, but facts are facts: Some people just tip more than others. Lyft examined its proprietary data to determine the characteristics of riders w...
Jessica Maier, an art history professor at Mount Holyoke College and mother of three, realized about three years ago that something was missing—even though her days were always busy and close to bursting with tasks and responsibilities. "I felt like all I was doing was being stressed all the time, thinking about other people, like my kids, or working," she told Stacker. Remembering a pottery class she took years ago in high school, "on a whim," Maier signed up for a new c...
If you take a stroll through a Pittsburgh city park, you might come across Hobo the donkey and his crew of 12 goats scrambling up an embankment or chowing down on poison ivy. Keep your dog on a leash, though, because Hobo doesn't like canines, and he takes his job as protector of the herd very seriously. If he senses danger, he will round everyone up, then stomp, kick and bite to deter any predator that he deems a threat to his pals and the job they've been commissioned to do....
Every Friday at around 6 p.m., farmers in Greensboro, Vermont, descend on Tom Hill's barn to help out with the Friday evening milking session. As udders are emptied and beers popped open, they catch up on each other's families and talk about the joys and struggles of the vocation they share. The weekly gathering is a community tradition. The bonds between these farmers, formed over many decades and spanning multiple generations, have become even more precious as farms consolid...
Choosing a loyal companion is one of the most important decisions a pet owner can make. Each year, the American Kennel Club tracks dog registrations to see which breeds are the most popular in the United States. For 31 years straight, from 1991 to 2021, the Labrador retriever has topped the list—but recently, a new breed has been occupying the #1 spot. Stacker used the AKC's 2024 rankings, released on March 19, 2025, to compile the 100 most popular breeds out of the total 2...
In the United States, receiving mental healthcare is quite common. More than 1 in 5 U.S. adults (21.6%) received mental health treatment in 2021, with the rate closer to 1 in 4 (23.2%) among those under 45. The percentage of those seeking treatment has steadily increased since 2019, but stigma still keeps many people from accessing the care they need. In 2022, over 60% of those surveyed by the Kaiser Family Foundation and CNN said that stigma and shame pose barriers to...

They are all very skilled in creativity and bringing ideas to life," she said. "What they...

When it comes to household financial stress, it's no surprise that rent or mortgage payments top the list. But what may surprise you is that in a recent survey conducted by Arbor, electricity costs ranked as the second-most stressful household expense, outpacing credit card debt, car payments, and even insurance. In fact, for 62.8% of Americans in the southern U.S., power bills are a major source of financial stress. This is just behind rent/mortgage payments, but it far...
