Money, sex, and unimaginable happiness are just mere clicks away. (This post contains a picture of a butt.)
He looks so sad!
Lean the eff in.
"As a physicist, a field where women are very much in a minority, I've learned not to mind if I'm the only woman in the room. The important thing is not to let that intimidate you nor change who you fundamentally are: don't try to become one of the boys but work out who your allies are and how to present yourself truthfully but also persuasively. Sometimes standing out as a minority can even be an advantage because people remember you when they've forgotten the identikit men!" — Professor Athene Donald, University of Cambridge and Master of Churchill College

"Don't be afraid to follow your passion, wherever it may lead you even when the path forward may not seem clear. Be willing to take risks and push outside of what is comfortable and predictable. Also think as much about being a mentor as being mentored. We all have a lot to learn from each other." — Dr. Helene Gayle, President and CEO of CARE

These desert creatures think Cormac McCarthy might be their spirit animal.
"Whatever voice spoke to him was no demon but some old shed self that came yet from time to time in the name of sanity, a hand to gentle him back from the rim of his disastrous wrath."

"We think we are the victims of time. In reality, the way of the world isn't fixed anywhere. How could that be possible? We are our own journey. And therefore we are time as well. We are the same. Fugitive. Inscrutable. Ruthless."

"He thought the world's heart beat at some terrible cost and that the world's pain and its beauty moved in a relationship of diverging equity and that in this headlong deficit the blood of multitudes might ultimately be exacted for the vision of a single flower."

"How surely are the dead beyond death. Death is what the living carry with them. A state of dread, like some uncanny foretaste of a bitter memory. But the dead do not remember and nothingness is not a curse. Far from it."
Seat belts and seahorses and cell phones have divided the BuzzFeed copy desk. We need you to help us decide how they should be written.

A recent update to the Associated Press Stylebook, the so-called "journalist's bible," unearthed a previously unknown fissure in the BuzzFeed copy desk: the word "seat belt." According to AP, it's "seat belt, two words."
But a few of our editors felt otherwise: There were "very strong feelings" against the two-word variation, as well as talk of moving to BuzzFeed's London office, where British English reigns supreme and all bets on standard American English are off. So we're kicking it out to you, our readers, to resolve our issues, once and for all.
One stipulation for all of you nitpicking grammarians: Let's consider each of these options nouns — no verbs or adjectives. So, that said, how should we style these headache-inducing words?
Words working together to scare you.
