A lot has been said about Kanye West's recent anti-Semitic and racist outbursts with many linking the rants to his bipolar diagnosis but there are some who say that having bipolar doesn't mean you're excused from bad behaviour, so where do we draw the line? Today we find out what it's like to actually have bipolar and how we navigate the fine line between excusing behaviour due to mental health and ensuring that behaviour doesn't hurt others.

Getting a tic (a brief motor movement or vocalisation) is actually super common but the use of a certain social media platform is starting to create them faster and in larger numbers in groups not usually affected. Today we look at the impact of a platform like TikTok on vulnerable minds and how a certain genre within the platform's users leads to those who already suffer from tics to be triggered.

Some get it worse then others, some find it impossible to ever shake but ask anyone you work with and they'll probably tell you at some stage in their lives they've felt the effects of imposter syndrome. So why is it, even when we are fully qualified to do a job or perform a task, we feel like any moment someone will call us out as fakes?

Parents across Australia were terrified after watching the Todd Sampson documentary Mirror Mirror where he looked a website called Omegle, a place where sexual predators are easily linked to young children. But while many are even more scared of allowing children to play online, the show left us with little resources as to how to deal with it and how you keep on top of all the ways in which predators can find their young victims online. Today we look at how you actually help young Aussies handle the dangers of sites like Omegle while at the same time knowing their curiosity will more than likely lead them straight there.

We’re now 8 months into a war in Ukraine that Vladimir Putin had reportedly expected to take just a few days, when his troops invaded back in February. Now, a bridge - a source of pride for the Russian president - has been hit. In retaliation, missiles rained down on civilians and infrastructure as the war spirals more and more out of control. Today, we get the low down on Russia’s tactics as they continue to fight what seems to be a losing battle and where we can possibly go from here. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

While the cost of living is going up and things like interest rates are heading in the same direction, for a very long time, our wages haven't been climbing at the same rate, leaving us falling a tad short in the hip pocket. But recent stats show that wages are now on the way up, with many industries finding it increasingly difficult to secure workers. So what if you're an existing employee who hasn't been able to get yourself some of that sweet new money? Today, we look at how you can jump on the wage growth gravy train and the best way to ask for that sometimes very overdue pay rise. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

In the past 10 years or so, young women have been told that in order to protect their fertility in the future, they should have their eggs frozen when they're in their twenties. This directive has made some women feel anxious about whether they should make the move at such a young age - what if they do end up needing them? Or what if they don't end up needing them and went through an expensive and not so easy process of harvesting eggs when they didn't have to? Today we look at whether egg freezing is the necessary tool in the arsenal against infertility or if we're being sold a way to make an industry a lot of money.

The AFLW is now in its seventh season, with all 18 AFL men's teams represented with an equivalent AFLW side and the women, who once were just happy to be allowed to play, are now starting to realise that this is really happening, that they can make a career out of playing the game they love. But despite the radical improvement since the league's launch five years ago, some men continue to criticise the level of support the women's game has been getting. Today, we look at why the fear of men's space being taken from them persists and whether we should ignore or engage with the criticism at all. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?

Billy Ray Cyrus has probably the world's most famous one but his daughter Miley's is getting a good run too. Action stars were renowned for them at one stage - so were Aussie Rules football players - but after years in the fashion wilderness, the mullet is back. Men, women and all gender identities are again embracing the hairstyle that Australians have identified as part of our bogan past but now with a modern twist. Today, we look at the history of the iconic cut that's all business in the front, party in the back. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

Content warning: This episode discusses details of sexual assault, please reach out to the resources listed below for help if you are in need. One of the country's most anticipated criminal trials got underway this week, with former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins taking her alleged rapist to court over an incident in Parliament House in 2019. But getting to this point hasn't been an easy road for anyone involved and for many survivors of sexual assault, even getting to have their day in court is too far out of their reach. In today's episode, we look at how the criminal justice system is not set up for victims of sexual violence and what needs to be done to make the system more balanced for both the alleged victim and their accused.

For the first time since World War II, a far-right fascist political party has taken the reigns of the Italian parliament. Its leader Georgia Meloni is the first female Prime Minister of the country, a fact that feminists across the globe would usually be celebrating but there are some very serious concerns about the views the journalist-turned-politician holds. In today’s episode, The Quicky team takes a look at who Georgia Meloni is and why she has the world worried about a slide back to a very dark time in our history.

Like many of us, you probably heard the term hyperemesis gravidarum when Catherine the Princess of Wales was pregnant with George, Charlotte and Louis, but recently another celebrity, former MAFS star Martha Kalafatidis, has been experiencing the debilitating condition too. So why do some women end up with the extreme version of morning sickness that can leave them bedridden for months, with only childbirth the relief at the end of the struggle for some? In today's episode, we look at the intense and sometimes crippling way a pregnant body can react when it's busy growing a tiny human. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

With another rate rise looking likely next week, there is a cohort of Australian home owners who have found themselves in a bit of a tricky situation. Some, looking to refinance and get a better deal than the higher rate they're on, aren't able to get any financial institution to help them because they no longer meet the documentation requirements when their mortgage repayments are taking up more of their household income, or their house is now worth less than their loan. This situation is known as a mortgage prison, when you can't afford the rate rise increases on your current mortgage but you also can't move to another option in order to make it more affordable. In this episode, The Quicky team finds out how mortgage prisons work and what it takes to break free from one. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin mobilised his army - the first time Russia has done so since World War II. As a result, we saw the first signs coming from within Russia that they aren't as supportive of Putin's war as we thought, with thousands of people detained for protesting the draft. In today's episode, The Quicky team looks at what exactly is happening inside Russia and whether the people can fight back against a restrictive and often brutal regime.

The death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while in the custody of the Iranian morality police has set off the rage felt by many women who say the constant policing of their dress code is nothing more than a tool of oppression. So they have taken to the streets, burning their headscarves and cutting their hair to try and show the regime that they are no longer willing to stand by and allow them to control their every move. But will this end with any significant change or will it be like protests of the past where the regime ended it in the worst possible way?

When Chris Dawson was finally found guilty of the murder of his former wife Lynette after 40 years, the next question asked was, where is she? Since she went missing in 1982, that's something her family have been desperately wanting the answer to but so far, they still wait for news as to where their mother, sister and aunty's remains lay. But could that change? In today's episode, The Quicky team looks at whether the much publicised 'No Body, No Parole' law could motivate someone like Chris Dawson to give up their victim's final resting place.

After nearly two weeks of mourning and ceremony, we've finally laid Queen Elizabeth II to rest. So, now we turn our attention to the reign of King Charles III but what kind of king is he really going to be? Is he the environmental warrior just trying to uphold his late mother's ideologies, or is he the spoiled little rich boy we've seen glimpses of this week? In today's episode, The Quicky team takes a look at what we know about Charles and the man he is, and what we can expect as he takes the throne out of the Elizabethan era and into his own.

Today, we lay to rest Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the woman, who for many for us has been the only monarch we've ever known, reigning over the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth for 70 years. But mourning the Queen is not a simple affair, torn between admiring a woman who was thrown into a life she never planned on leading, doing her job dutifully for her entire life, while also living a privileged and comfortable existence with money that has a long history of colonisation and oppression. For some, she is a grandmother figure, to others, she is an oppressor. And for those who are feeling sadness right now, they may be wondering why on earth they are grieving a woman they've never met. In this episode, we look at the complicated process of mourning Queen Elizabeth. Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback? We’re listening!

While according to astronomers, spring hasn't actually sprung just yet, hay fever sufferers and the annual black and white terrors of the skies might disagree. Yes, it's magpie swooping season, where cyclists in particular are subject to sometimes daily dive bombing by magpies looking to protect their springtime nests from those devils on two wheels. Today, The Quicky team finds out why magpies have decided we are a threat even when we have no idea where their babies are and whether we can actually become friends to stop our winged attackers.

Some said it was disrespectful, some say it was the time... but where do you stand on Australia becoming a republic? In the hours after Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II passed away, the Australian Republic Movement released a statement with comments from its chair, Peter Fitzsimons. While the timing of the statement's release may have been the subject of some backlash, are they right? Today The Quicky team discusses whether now is the time to have the republic discussion.
