The Quicky

A former First Lady putting her story to publication may not be unusual, but Melania Trump's memoir feels hotly anticipated. 

With very little shared ahead of its release, except of course her pro-abortion revelation, we've all been left wondering... what is she saying with this book? 

And is the timing of this memoir release suspicious? Were on the case.

Yes, you read that title correct... today we meet the woman who got her dog a vulvoplasty. It's just one example of how far people are willing to go for their pets.

But when did dogs go from sleeping in the kennel outside to being thrown extravagant birthday parties? 

Are our four-legged friends really more than a companion we take on the daily walk?

There's a Cut article doing the rounds proposing some of us are in search of a 'dumb job'.

Now, while we know no job is dumb, it does beg the question of why so many people are searching for greener, simpler pastures.

Is it general work strife? Or is there something deeper going on...

Last month a member of the South Australian parliament introduced a bill that would drastically change abortion laws.

The bill has sparked fierce debate; some calling it cruel, others saying it represents a more humane approach. 

But what are the real life consequences of such major changes to laws around pregnancy, birth and abortion? And what does it mean when members from the same party are against it.
