Yesterday, Kate Middleton revealed that she had cancer in a heartfelt video, which half the Internet self-righteously weaponized against the other half of the Internet, including Stephen Colbert, Andy Cohen, and Blake Lively (Lively has needlessly apologized, but it was nice). Helen Lewis at The Atlantic led the way with a piece titled, “I Hope You All Feel Terrible Now.” And look, if you spread some horrifying conspiracy theories on the Internet about Prince William being an abusive husband or that Kate Middleton had taken her own life and the royal family was covering it up or if you have become the weird RFK Jr. of celebrity sites, then yes, sure, you should feel “terrible.” But for the large majority of people who were genuinely curious about the very strange circumstances surrounding Middleton’s absence in addition to the photoshopped images and maybe made a few jokes, you’re good. You behaved in a normal, appropriate way given the circumstances. Unless you blamed Meghan Markle for all of this somehow, in which case you’re probably just a racist. And shut up, Helen, you transphobic Karen. (The Atlantic)

I discovered that if I wanted to remain happily married, and if I didn’t want to be the person in charge of 100% of the dishes 100% of the time, I had to let go of my preconceived beliefs that only I knew the best ways of loading the dishwasher. For this reason and this reason only, I will not visit this group but I do remain curious about it. - (WIRED)

Ever since I visited a personalized perfumery in New Orleans way back in the early ’90s (and did not have a job that paid enough to afford the option of creating my custom scent) I’ve been hooked on the idea of it or something like it. I don’t necessarily need to create my own personalized perfume, but I like the idea of having someone pick an existing fragrance based on my personality, likes/dislikes, style trends, etc. - (Allure)

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden welcome their new son Cardinal to the family. If you think that’s a dumb name, never forget that their older kid’s name is Raddix. (Yes, yes, I know, names are personal and individual and blah blah blah, WHATEVER. Raddix is a ridiculous name and you’re not going to change my mind… unless you tell me that your baby is named Raddix and then, Awww, what a cute name!) - (PEOPLE)
