Levi's Warehouse Sale is here: Get jeans and accessories for up to 75% off right now
Levi's Warehouse Sale is happening now, and it includes up to 75% off women's, men's and kids' jeans. If you've ever struggled to find jeans that actually fit — the kind with the right shape, wash and feel — Levi's is one of the better places to start. The brand has tons of options designed for different body types, heights and style preferences, which makes finding your go-to pair a lot easier. Below, I've highlighted some of the best Levi's jeans deals worth grabbing while the sale lasts. Deal of the Day 4.1-star average rating from 2,355 reviews at Levi's These jeans are ideal for those who love a wash that falls somewhere in the middle. This option has a straight leg fit and 30-inch inseam with a hem that sits at or just below the ankle (for people who are 5'10' or under). They're slightly tighter around the thigh with a loose fit below the knee. 4.1-star average rating from 1,346 reviews at Levi's A great option for fall, these dark navy blue jeans have a 10.25-inch style high waist and have inseam options of 30, 32 and 34 inches. They also have a loose fit below the knee and around the ankle. They also have stretch added in for a more custom fit. The brand also recommends only washing them every 10 wears to help maintain their shape. 4.2-star average rating from 4,434 reviews at Levi's One of the brand's most popular men's styles, the 501 jeans are a great straight style perfect for those who prefer a loose fit that works for casual wear. They sit right at the waist, have a low stretch and a button fly. The hem also sits below the ankle. I always love every pair of 501s I have, mainly because they hold so well after many washes and don't shrink. 4.5-star average rating from 1,080 reviews at Levi's I almost exclusively get my denim jackets from Levi's because they're incredibly durable and hold up so well after years. They're also surprisingly warm, compared to traditional winter jackets. This particular jacket has a dark wash and four buttons on the front. It also has cuffs with buttons to make a more custom fit around the wrists.

'We were in awe': Watch endangered Key deer swim in Florida Keys canal
A herd of endangered Key deer took a swim in a Florida Keys canal in what onlookers described as a "rare occurrence." Video footage shows a group of about five deer gracefully jumping into the water and gliding through it. "We were in awe," Jaime Kulaga, who filmed the video, told USA TODAY Aug. 7. "We have deer all over Big Pine Key, but it is a rare occurrence to actually see them swim." Kulaga said she and her family were going down a canal in their community in Big Pine Key around 9:40 a.m. on Aug. 2 when they turned and saw the group "sitting on the edge foraging." Then as one of them turned and looked at the water, Kulaga said she told her husband to slow down their boat as she thought the deer would jump. "Sure enough she jumped right in and the whole family followed her," Kulaga said. "They swam so perfectly and calmingly right to the other side. Then, they jumped right out with no hesitation and started foraging again." Kulaga said it appeared the animals took a "short swim or a little bath in the hot sun." "They knew exactly what they were doing, and they made it perfectly to the other side," the licensed mental health counselor and life coach said, adding she checked if they did. See video: Horses appear unfazed by massive dust devil near Utah ranch Watch: Endangered Key deer take a dip in Florida canal Key deer in Florida Key deer are the smallest subspecies of white-tailed deer. They are classified as an endangered species by the Federal Endangered Species Act and as a federally designated endangered species in Florida. The small animals with light to dark-brown coating, a white belly, and a black snout are found only in the Florida Keys, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Their range includes about 26 islands from Big Pine Key to Sugarloaf Key, and they can swim from one island to another, the agency said. While hunting and habitat destruction initially caused their numbers to fall to less than 50 in the 1940s, the main threat to their existence now is getting hit by vehicles, followed by illegal feeding which results in "concentration of Key deer populations, facilitating the spread of parasites and disease," according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Woman Shows Difficulty Of Being Working Mom In America
Bringing home a new baby is tough enough, but the current United States parental leave policy can make things even more difficult. The US only guarantees 12 weeks of unpaid parental leave via Family and Medical Leave (FMLA) — with restrictions about the company's size and the employee's tenure — leaving new parents to determine if they can afford extra time with their newborn or to recover after birth. So it's no surprise that brookiethecookie, aka @adayinaeats on TikTok, recently went viral with a video in which she shared just how difficult the life of a working mother in the US can be. In the video, she can be seen crying at her desk, with a text overlay that says, "me at work because I'm watching my baby sit up for the first time through the monitor." "Being a working mom is so much harder than I could've imagined. Missing the milestones just breaks me," she said in the caption. Many commenters were immediately supportive and understanding. "One year of paid federal maternity leave NEEDS to be the standard. I'm glad women are getting louder about this, it's a huge issue," said one. "The US needs to figure something out bc being a parent in this country is so unfair." "The US is cruel to families. Every other developed nation has figured out the balance." "USA is a third world country in a Gucci belt." "It's crazy how a country can be so obsessed with controlling pregnancy but won't support moms after birth..." The conversation made its way over to Twitter (now X), where people discussed parental leave in other nations. "I'm on an 18-month paid leave through the government," said one person, alongside Canadian flag emojis. "In Scandinavian countries a year of parental is granted to both parents." Some commenters argued that this was a signal that moms shouldn't be working, period, and should be stay-at-home mothers if they have children. "Proof that marrying a good provider man is a flex. Being a girl boss isn't." "the government isn't responsible to give you time with your child. this is why choosing a good husband who allows you to be a stay at home mother is so important," another person said. "Ladies: Marry a provider husband so you can raise your kids." But others fought back, saying raising a family on one income wasn't affordable these days in America, and that it's important for women to pursue their careers as well. "sure, go ahead, please you guys show us how you provide for a full family with one salary in this economy," one person said. "we need women in universities in the workforce in positions of authority n power. that being said paid maternity leave until your baby is kindergarten age shld be a given." Another commenter pointed out that this isn't just a problem for moms; it's tough on all parents. "men want to see their babies firsts too and get upset about this EXACT SAME THING," they said. And finally, this person summed up the whole discussion pretty succinctly: "America core." Now I'd love to know: if you're a working parent, what are your thoughts on the S's parental leave policies? What do you think would be an ideal amount of time to take off for new parents? And if you're not in the US, what is the parental leave like where you live? Let us know in the comments.
