If you're taking a break from dating, you may have encountered a new term popping up on social media: "boysober." The practice involves refraining from dating in order to take care of yourself. It was coined by comedian Hope Woodard and can apply to any gender or sexual orientation. The trend, which has picked up speed among Gen Z, aims to give people "space to reflect, heal, and focus on what one wants next — from a relationship and for oneself." One writer broke down her experience with it.

A little pick-me-up before you go.

Drew and Taylor Deras were working as nurses in 2021 at the NICU at Methodist Women's Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska, when they met a tiny baby named Ella. The little girl only weighed 1 pound, 2 ounces, and the couple bonded with her as they helped her slowly gain strength. Ella's biological mother was struggling, so the baby girl was deemed a ward of the state, prompting the Derases to step in as her foster parents.
