You can get run down so quickly. The biggest thing has been making sure that I stay healthy and work out and stay hydrated.”
Billie Eilish tells The USA Today newspaper that people shouldn't feel like they can't tell someone they're attractive based on what gender they are.

Beauty shouldn't be confined to a specific gender. If you feel someone is attractive, there should be no stigma in telling them so.”

It was galvanizing and powerful."

The school bus when we moved to America would come outside the house and beep when it got outside the door and my mum would go on the balcony and flash them all."

Dear Fonseca,
My husband and I got drunk with our friends yesterday at an Irish bar. Towards the end of the afternoon, we got into an argument and things got ugly. We were drunk and said things we didn't mean. Our friends separated us and told us to ignore what each other said. One friend told me that getting drunk is like a truth serum. Is that true? If so, then my husband and I have some things to definitely talk about. My other best friend is chalking up our argument to the alcohol. She's telling me to ignore what he said because he was drunk and didn't mean it. Which is it? Should I ignore my husband's comments because he was drunk or have a heart to heart conversation because booze is a truth serum? Did he mean what he said or was it the alcohol talking?
