It’s not a sin to be sick …whether diabetes, AIDS, or mental illness. #NoStigmaNoShame

Pastor Rick Warren has been going through a very public period of mourning following his son’s suicide earlier this month. Fortunately, the trolls seem to have lost interest in tormenting Warren, leaving supporters to offer their support and prayers.

That Rick Warren tweet made me sad. To save so many and not be able to save your kid has to be heartbreaking.

Tweet after tweet, @rickwarren shows us how to be a godly person enduring great pain. Seriously. Scan his ‘full profile’. We love you, Rick.

@rickwarren Your willingness 2 allow the public into your deeply personal grief & tragedy testifies to your character #trueleader #humility

Following pastor @rickwarren is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Being open/honest about faith and pain is how hearts find healing.

This Might Be The Ugliest Shirt Ever

Behold, the TurtleV! A men’s fashion revolution you didn’t know you needed and probably don’t want.

1. How many times have you thought, “geez, I really love turtlenecks but I hate how warm my chest gets.” Like, ALL THE TIMES, right?

2. V-neck tees are ~great~ but they offer little protection for your neck.

3. Enter the TurtleV, a fashion innovation, designed to give you that tight v-neck look whilst also offering superior neck coverage.

4. I’m sure you’re curious about how such a wild invention might work…

5. According to TurtleV founders John Sautter and Craig O’Neill, wearing one will instantly make you cooler.

Because “research shows v-necks are awesome! They are stylish and will always make you look great. But with the chest exposed, the neck region suffers from heat loss,” explains TurtleV’s founders. “To combat this, we worked many long hours with our team of designers to develop CNW: Comfort Neck Warming technology.”

6. The secret is basically stitching a turtleneck onto a v-neck.

Or alternately cutting a v-neck out of a turtleneck. Take your pick.

7. There is a lot of ~science~ involved with this endeavor.

Naturally.

8. The TurtleV is currently looking for funding via Kickstarter.

They raised about $800 of their $17,000 goal.

9. Though let’s be honest, this can’t actually be a real thing. (Can it?)
