Amin Dzhabrailov attended his first Pride march in New York City this summer, but just a few years earlier, he was forced to flee his hometown in Chechnya for being gay. He told his story on HuffPost Personal, in honor of #NationalComingOutDay: Growing up in Chechnya, there were two of me. There was 'straight' me, whom my parents, brothers and most other people knew. And then there was 'secret' me, whom only a few close friends had met. 'Secret' me used fake names and met up with other gay people in hidden places. If anyone found out about 'secret' me, I knew my family would disown me, I would be shamed out of town, beaten or worse ― killed because of who I am. Coming out was impossible. Coming out almost certainly meant death. Read Dzhabrailov's full story in the link in bio. // 📷: Rainbow Railroad

Pups are good for the soul — and for the heart, it turns out. 🐶 A new scientific review, which encompasses about 70 years of research surrounding the health benefits of dog ownership, showed that having a dog can improve your longevity. The findings were published in the American Heart Association’s Circulation journal. According to 10 studies included in the review, dog ownership was associated with a 24% reduction in risk of death compared to non-ownership, with six studies showing “significant reduction in the risk of death.” In one instance, simply petting a dog was found to have the same effect on blood pressure as medication. The findings are not fully conclusive and there are some limitations with the research -- so while more work needs to be done, we’re more than okay with taking this news as at least a light suggestion. // 📷: Getty Images

So true. 👆 In honor of #WorldMentalHealthDay, here's an important reminder that mental health literacy can definitely be improved in our society. Christine Moutier of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention notes that when it comes to other areas of health, “there are really basic things most people just know, like if we exercise, we feel good or if we eat terrible the day before, we’re going to feel crappy the next day. I think that those same basic principles do apply to mental health, but that hasn’t become infused into our society yet.” This full understanding requires effort: It also takes good parenting, especially since research shows mental health issues can appear in people as young as toddlers or preschoolers. It depends on proper health care and better access to treatment, particularly in rural areas of the U.S. It means correcting ― or even just noticing ― if people use mental health-based language in a derogatory way. All of this builds into a new compassion for mental illnesses, which data shows are still viewed as less than. Check out the link in bio for how you can get more involved in the conversation on mental health.

She’s fat, she’s fabulous and she’s the winner of Fat Bear Week 2019. 🐻 After a thrilling week of tough rivalry, 435 Holly claimed the crown for the annual competition, organized by the Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska. The competition, which is now in its fifth year, allows voters on Facebook to celebrate the biggest bear from Alaska’s Brooks River by liking their favorite each day for a week. Holly was so dedicated to packing it on that park rangers struggled to even get a snap of her out of the water, a park spokesperson told NPR. “She was a submarine for the entire month. She did not stop fishing, except to dig a belly hole big enough for her to sleep in.” The queen of Fat Bear Week is very prepared for her winter hibernation. // Learn more in the link in bio. // 📷: @katmainpp

Such an important thing to talk about. 👏 Alanis Morrissette has opened up about experiencing postpartum depression for the third time. The singer welcomed son Winter on August 8th, joining her eight-year-old son Ever and three-year-old daughter Onyx. The 45-year-old wrote a stream-of-consciousness post, entitled “I Love You, I Am Here For You, in which she shared the fears and anxieties she’s going through as a result of postpartum depression. But she also focused on the hope she has as well: “I saw how things got richer after I came through it the last two times. I have my eye on that prize again… even as I drag my ass through the molasses.” // 📷: Getty Images

Montgomery has elected Steven Reed to become the Alabama capital’s first Black mayor, a landmark in a city known for heroic stands and violent clashes during the civil rights movement. Reed, who has been Montgomery County’s probate judge since 2012, won the election with about 67% of the vote in Tuesday’s mayoral runoff against TV station owner David Woods, WSFA-TV reported. “Let the record show that this is what we can do, as a community, as a city, and let this go far beyond Montgomery, let it go far beyond Alabama and let it go far beyond this nation,” Reed said Tuesday night at his victory party, saying the election showed “what we can do when we come together in this city and we build around positivity, around opportunity and all the things that tie us together versus those that keep us apart.” // 📷: Steven Reed for Montgomery

Discrimination against anyone because of who they are should not be the way that we live our lives here in the United States of America. 👈 Laverne Cox spoke on the Supreme Court steps as the court began hearings on a major LGBT rights dispute. With three related cases before them, the Supreme Court will decide whether LGBTQ workers are protected by the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which “prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin.” I hope no matter what our justices decide, that Americans know that it should not be OK to discriminate against someone simply for being who they are, Cox said. // Head to the link in bio for more information about the case.

The media mogul and philanthropist visited Morehouse on Monday to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the college’s Oprah Winfrey Endowed Scholarships Program. “Seeing you young Oprah Winfrey Scholars here today has moved me deeply,” Winfrey said during her speech. “I was really surprised to learn that it’s been 30 years since I made that $12 million donation to Morehouse. And so today, I would like to add $13 million to that.” Winfrey’s scholarship program has funded the education of nearly 600 students over the past 30 years, Morehouse said. // 📷: Getty Images

Sen. Kamala Harris announced a plan that would guarantee workers up to six months of paid family and medical leave, the most generous such policy proposal in the Democratic presidential field. The proposal is more aspirational than practical, as six months of leave exceeds anything currently under consideration or on offer in the U.S. ― the only developed country that doesn’t guarantee new mothers paid time off. By calling attention to the issue, though, Harris could help bring paid leave to prominence on the 2020 agenda, from which it’s been largely absent. “Guaranteeing six months of paid leave will bring us closer to economic justice for workers and ensures newborn children or children who are sick can get the care they need from a parent without thrusting the family into upheaval,” Harris said in a statement. // Read more in the link in bio. // 📷: Getty Images
