Wednesday roundup

Science has long been on the side of girls playing sports (self-esteem, resisting addiction, etc.) but now there's more science and it makes the case for more than one sport.

Cycling was never really just something "white people liked," but black women in DC are making it official.

You can't just redact women.

Reductress on Fashion Week. Also: most ironic Tumblr ever?

Ladies, this guy's quite the catch. Please read the whole thing, or, if nothing else, scroll to the end to read about why he's not interested in women who have had children. It's amazing.

Check out some cool-looking sea creatures.

Really, we needn't be outraged by weightlifting while pregnant; if you must hold on to the outrage, maybe channel it toward people who endanger themselves and their babies by not exercising. But best just mind your own business and let people make their own choices.

I'm not sure which point this writer is making, but I agree that you have to talk about bodies when you talk about fashion, and I agree--with whomever--that that doesn't mean we have to pass judgment on size or shape.

Another post where the comments are as awesome as the content. The first video is pretty cool; the second lost me, but begged the question--especially together with this--why are physicists so obsessed with cats? Seriously: what is it about cats?

Chipotle takes bacon out of its pinto beans, loses nothing.

Nothing wrong with fried food (depending on what it's fried in, anyway).

Everybody wins doesn't translate to everybody winning.
