That extra half-inch in our height is everything.

5 Things All Short Girls Want You To Know

ALL THE NORMAL HEIGHT AND TALL PEOPLE, LISTEN UP (OR DOWN):

1. We are not your arm rest.

Do you not realize that it's very condescending and rude for you to put your arm on our head and laugh? People have been doing it to us since they realized we were short. It's not attractive. We will probably want to kick you in the kneecaps after. (And yes, we CAN do that).

2. You need to stop calling us "cute" or "munchkin."

If you're calling us "cute" because we're shorter than you, you can stop right now. Just walk away. Just like the arm rest thing, it happens all the time. You're insulting. Munchkin? Seriously, don't get a short girl started on "munchkin." Your Wizard of Oz reference isn't funny.

3. Do not ask us id we are a legal midget (even if we probably are).

There really is nothing to say here. Even if we were a legal midget, it's a) none of your business, and b) none of your business. Worry about yourself.

4. Do not underestimate us because of our height.

The "cute" thing goes a long, hard way. People don't realize that once they classify us as "cute," they might be classifying us as being incapable or naive. Just because we may look like we're not a college student or grad, doesn't mean we don't go to college or have a degree.

5. Half inches in our height are important to us.

We're really small. We take pride in that extra half-inch. It makes us feel taller. Don't give us crap for stating that we're half an inch taller than you think we are. Again, you will probably get kicked in the kneecaps. Every short girl will agree that you deserve it.

Plus, we get Kristin Chenoweth, Ariana Grande, Kim AND Kourtney Kardashian, Nicole Richie, and more. We win.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
