How did Mother's Day start?
According to the Library of Congress and other sources, Anna Jarvis is credited with the campaign that led to a nationally-celebrated Mother’s Day. Jarvis's mother was known for organizing women's groups to promote health and friendship.
In the wake of her mother's death in 1905, Jarvis wanted to set aside a day to honor the sacrifices of mothers for their children. In May 1908, she organized the first official Mother’s Day celebration at a Methodist church in Grafton, West Virginia, according to history.com.

Crack the Mystery: The Colorful History (and Fun) of Easter Eggs
Every spring, families around the world huddle around kitchen tables, armed with cups of dye, spoons, and cartons of eggs, ready to create a kaleidoscope of Easter magic. But have you ever stopped mid-dip and wondered—why are we coloring eggs in the first place?
A Tradition Older Than Chocolate Bunnies
The tradition of dyeing and decorating Easter eggs is more ancient than you might think—older than Peeps, plastic grass, and definitely older than the modern Easter Bunny. In fact, its origins are so old, they’re a bit scrambled (pun very much intended). Historians can’t pinpoint exactly where it......
The world lost a true legend on March 4, 2025, as Roy Ayers, the pioneering vibraphonist, composer, and producer, passed away at the age of 84 in New York City after a long illness. Though he may no longer be with us, his music—full of warmth, rhythm, and soul—will continue to shine brightly, much like the title of his most beloved song, "Everybody Loves the Sunshine."
Ayers was more than a musician; he was a movement. His ability to fuse jazz with funk, R&B, and disco set him apart, creating a sound that was undeniably his own. From the moment he picked up his first vibraphone mallets—gifted to him at just five years old by the legendary Lionel Hampton—it was......
Trump announced that he authorized U.S. airstrikes against ISIS operatives in Somalia’s Golis Mountains. The strike, coordinated with the Somali government, targeted a key "Senior ISIS Attack Planner."
In a post on Truth Social, Trump described the airstrikes as "precision" attacks that successfully destroyed ISIS caves and eliminated multiple terrorists while ensuring no civilian casualties.
The White House declined to share further details, including the exact number of ISIS operatives killed. However, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed that the Pentagon’s initial assessment indicated multiple ISIS members were eliminated with no reported civilian harm.

In a move that has left millions of Americans reeling, TikTok, the wildly popular video-sharing platform, has officially shut down its app in the United States. The announcement, which followed weeks of escalating uncertainty, underscores the precarious balance between technology, politics, and global commerce. TikTok’s decision to pull the plug on its U.S. operations impacts its staggering 170 million American users, many of whom rely on the app not only for entertainment and news but also for building communities and generating income.
The Lead-Up to the Shutdown
For weeks, TikTok’s future in the United States was under intense scrutiny. Political tensions, security......
The clock is ticking for TikTok as the popular social media platform faces mounting scrutiny and potential bans in several countries. With concerns over data privacy and national security at the forefront, governments worldwide are deliberating on whether TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, poses a significant risk to user data and sovereignty.
In the United States, this issue has reached fever pitch, with lawmakers proposing outright bans or demanding a sale of TikTok to an American-owned entity. This comes amid allegations that TikTok could share user data with the Chinese government—a claim the company has repeatedly denied. Despite these assurances, skepticism......
