Items taken from a mountain of discarded garments in the Atacama desert were sold for the price of shipping in a fightback against the ‘racist and colonialist’ dumping of unwanted clothingEvery week, Bastián Barria ventures into the Atacama desert in northern Chile looking for items of discarded clothing in the sand. About half of the hundreds of garments he finds are in perfect condition.

The price? Zero. Customers had only to pay shipping costs. The first batch sold out in five hours, bought by customers from countries including Brazil, China, France, the US and the UK.

4 d. ago My partner doesn’t know I take Viagra – and I worry that one day it won’t work

I have been struggling with erectile dysfunction ever since a bad breakup. The ‘blue pill’ works for me, but sex is still stressfulTwenty years ago I had a bad breakup with the mother of my children. The stress and guilt of our split caused me to experience erectile dysfunction. I consulted a doctor and was prescribed Viagra. The day after getting the meds I had very good sex with my girlfriend, but after about a month I decided to try without the tablet and failed miserably. So I went back to taking a tablet every time I have sex. I get them online now so I don’t even speak to a consultant. I take half a pill 20 minutes before sex, without telling my partner; however, I get stressed at the thought of it not working and sometimes get heart palpitations. I wonder if I should go back to the doctor and get an implant or another form of medication. My lover thinks I am a virile man and would be shocked if she knew I took the blue pill.The heart palpitations you are describing may be of ...

8 d. ago Adolescence reveals a terrifying truth: smartphones are poison for boys’ minds | Martha Gill

When a Netflix drama highlights how online influencers can turn a teenager into a killer, it’s time to rethink social mediaEvery so often, a television drama comes along that has the power to change things. Last year, it was ITV’s Mr Bates vs The Post Office, in which the plight of subpostmasters was rendered with such success that it actually hastened in real-world legislation to compensate them.And now we have Netflix’s Adolescence, which looks at the online radicalisation of young boys by men’s rights activists (MRAs) such as Andrew Tate. Last week, Keir Starmer told the Commons he had been watching the series with his family and that it portrayed an “emerging and growing problem” that needed to be tackled. Now MPs are examining ideas to address the issue with greater urgency.Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article?

2 w. ago ‘Kids can bypass anything if they’re clever enough!’ How tech experts keep their children safe online

From hacking screen time settings to bypassing website restrictions, young people make responsible parenting in the age of tech feel like a game of whack-a-mole. Here’s how to do it successfully I know I’m not alone as a parent when I admit I have often felt like an exasperated failure in trying to restrict what my children see online. There were the times they hacked their devices’ screen time settings, or managed to stumble into inappropriate content in spite of the controls, not to mention the ever inventive workarounds to access restricted sites. Worst of all is the ill will the rigmarole creates between us all. So when in the first minute of my conversation with digital parenting coach Elizabeth Milovidov, she says, “I think parents need to just kind of give themselves a hug, breathe and start over,” I feel so heard and comforted I could cry.“Parents are incredibly busy. They’re overwhelmed,” says Milovidov. “And then this whole idea of trying to lock things down is not easy. I...
