Student Identifies And Dresses As Staffordshire Bull Terrier: Coventry Live says a student from the UK is now attending school dressed as a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Maki. Karolina Pedziwilk is a male, who identifies as non-binary and a dog. Maki has a fursona, aka a furry persona, and wears a bull terrier costume to class.
Maki says, “I have never hidden my inner furry – I see it as the best way to express myself. When one is a furry, they most likely feel like they can relate to animals more easily than humans. I remember being on my mum’s laptop, and I saw an advert on her Facebook page for Made Fur You, a website that sells fursuits, and I was truly excited. When I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh, I really want to do that’, and then I found out how much they cost, I thought I’d wait to make my own. I told my mum about it, and she just said, ‘Do it if that’s what you want to do’. I decided to make it a Staffy because I always had a connection with dogs – I always had dogs in my house throughout my lifetime. I carry my fursonas badge next to my college card so that way other furries in my college can identify me as one of their own and maybe even help some furries come out of their shell more. My friends (at college) don’t all understand why I’m a furry, but they support me as long as I don’t embarrass them.''

So you have to work hard because some people don’t have the privilege.”
Meghan Trainor tells NPR.org that she hit the jackpot with her husband, Daryl Sabara. "He opens every door and he gives me foot rubs almost every night. He loves me. He knows how hard I'm working. He takes care of our kid while I'm at work all day. We're just trying to make each other level up, like, in any, every category. Like, we went to the gym together this morning, and we're so cute doing our little crazy lunges, like we look like we were doing choreography, but he's my partner, and it's like, it's really awesome to have someone like, "Hey.""
Ed Sheeran tells Rolling Stone magazine that he's comfortable with his look.“Sometimes people from the record company ask me to dress up a bit more. I always say no.

Dear Fonseca
I know Jerry Springer died yesterday, but I have a Jerry Springer situation on my hands. My ex-girlfriend told me she is pregnant with my child. She is planning to get married to another man in two weeks. He is smart and successful and will be able to provide a much better life than I can for my child. My ex-girlfriend asked me to stay silent so her new husband thinks the child is his. I'm leaning towards doing this because I only want the best for my child and ex-girlfriend. Is this the right course of action? What should I do? Do I break up the wedding and stay in my child's life OR stay in the background.
