I attended the inaugural CatCon LA this weekend, and this is what REALLY went down.

I hadn't even stepped foot in the convention center, but I was already picking up some serious feline vibes.

CatCon LA was advertised as "Like Comic-Con...but for cat people." After attending this event, I think Comic-Con needs to be touted as "Like CatCon...but for nerds."

I admired the pawfectly themed elevators.

Because of course they were catty.

As were the bathrooms.

I forgot to take a picture, but I think there was kitty litter in the men's room to freshen it up. I might have been mistaken...but if I wasn't, *maybe* that's a step too far. Hey, at least they didn't make us go in a litter box.

Sam Stryker / BuzzFeed

Of course, I saw some furbulous outfits.

There were more cat shirts than you could shake a whisker at, cat leggings, cat dresses, and cat sweaters. If I had to venture a guess, there must have been some cat underwear too...BUT I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE.

Erdogan made Sunday’s parliamentary election all about him — and it backfired on the powerful leader in a big way.

ISTANBUL — One thing that stood out as Turkey was swept with the news of its historic vote Sunday night was the fact that Recep Tayyip Erdogan was nowhere to be found.

Turkey's omnipresent president issued no statement and gave no speech. Instead it was his party's overshadowed prime minister who addressed a sullen crowd in Ankara, and the nation's TV cameras, as the ballot count laid out a bracing defeat that saw their party lose its parliamentary majority for the first time in over a decade.

Erdogan had made himself the face of the elections. In the run-up to the polls, he was a one-man enterprise of endless speeches and countless headlines. Officially, the vote was to decide parliament — but Erdogan turned it into a referendum on himself. So the setback voters handed Turkey's ruling party on Sunday was first and foremost a blow to Erdogan, a man who has increasingly dominated the country through the force of his political clout and personality.

Turkey's constitution never intended such an outsized role for the president like the one Erdogan has taken on. The post is meant to be apolitical and largely ceremonial. But that changed after Erdogan was elected to the job last August, having reached his term limit as party leader after 11 years as prime minister. In fact, he seemed to run the country more unilaterally than ever — and he hoped to use Sunday's vote to cement his power. He laid out the stakes clearly for voters: If his party won a big enough majority, it could rewrite the constitution to transfer power from parliament to the presidency, changing the DNA of this regional powerhouse and key NATO ally.

Technically barred from campaign rallies, Erdogan seized on seemingly every opportunity — from the opening of a mineral water factory to the 562nd anniversary of the Ottomans conquering Istanbul — to make his case for the presidential system. The appearances were so frequent that a Turkish journalist, hosting a small barbecue for friends last month, joked that Erdogan would gladly accept an invitation to deliver some opening remarks.

Erdogan's personalization of politics has been a long time in the works. As a transformative prime minister who resurrected the economy and shackled a coup-making military, he became the country's most important figure since Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey. But his towering stature has taken on a darker tone in recent years as checks on his power — in the press, the judiciary — gradually erode. It's not uncommon now to see someone arrested for insulting Erdogan, or to hear him threaten that a troublesome newspaper editor will "pay a high price." His rhetoric demonizes his political opponents, and he paints many who resist him as part of conspiracies.

It's this domineering disposition — which is part and parcel to the way that Erdogan plays politics — that can have Turks fretting about an authoritarian creep in their country even though, as the elections show, they still live in a democracy. Sitting in an Istanbul barbershop one afternoon last week, a pharmaceutical sales rep said that Erdogan was "a constant presence inside my mind, when I'm walking down the street, when I'm in my house, even when I'm having sex."

That sales rep volunteered as an election monitor on Sunday — and the vote saw a surge in participation. Turks across all parties set a record for volunteer monitors, while turnout, always high in the country, hit 86%.

Voters opposed to Erdogan seemed unusually driven on Sunday. Early in the afternoon, a group of men gathered at a basketball court in central Istanbul for their regular game had all risen early to make sure their votes were cast. Cenk Aslan, a 34-year-old software engineer, had woken up at 6 a.m. to make the 90-minute drive to the town where he was registered. "This is so critical," he said.

Erdogan has continued to run the country since assuming the presidency — making it a "de facto" presidential system, as analysts often describe it. Erdogan retains his influence over the Justice and Development Party (AKP), the strongest in the country by far. He also holds considerable sway over the country's institutions, as critics are hauled to court and problematic judges, prosecutors, and police officials are shuffled and dismissed.

But Sunday's results will be difficult for Erdogan and his backers in the halls of power to ignore. While the AKP retained the most seats, in addition to losing its parliamentary majority for the first time since coming to power in 2002, its share of the overall vote dropped nearly 10% from the last polls in 2011. For the first time it may have to govern in coalition while dealing with an opposition that is suddenly feeling emboldened.

The big win of the day came for the pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party, or HDP, a nascent political party that broadened its appeal with a liberal-minded platform designed to appeal to voters who were opposed to Erdogan. The HDP passed the 10% threshold for inclusion in parliament. Had it failed to do so, the AKP would have received its share of the seats by default, giving it the parliamentary majority Erdogan sought. With this in mind, many Turks switched their votes to the HDP just to get it past the threshold. The HDP's leader, Selahattin Demirtas, sounded well aware of the importance of his victory on this front. "As of this moment, the debate on the presidency, the debate about dictatorship, has come to an end in Turkey," he said in televised remarks. "Turkey has returned from the edge of a cliff."

Erdogan has been challenged before — by the Gezi Park protests that erupted two years ago, and by a massive corruption scandal after that. Each time his response was to make his politics more personal, and to fight back. He may do so again, and with the AKP still the country's most popular political party, he might not feel compelled to back down. But throughout the recent tumult, Erdogan has always offered a challenge to his opponents: Beat me at the ballot box. And though he often undermines the rule of law in Turkey, the ballot box may still command his respect.

More importantly, Turkish voters sent a loud and clear message on Sunday that the ballot box, and not a powerful man's ambitions, is what should determine the country's fate.

What I told my 9-year-old when she finally asked.

Jenny Chang/BuzzFeed

"How do we know there's no God?" My 9-year-old daughter, the youngest of my three children, was doing her math homework in the kitchen and must have overheard her father and me talking. I hesitated. Even though I'd been raising my kids as atheists for most of a decade, I was caught off guard.

My firstborn, Noah, never questioned me on the issue of a Supreme Being; he was more concerned about his Jewishness. So what if God was pretend — he could still have a bar mitzvah, right?

His younger brother also accepted God's fictional nature, but he gave me hell about heaven. Brooding on mortality at age 6, he pushed hard for the possibility of an afterlife. "We don't actually know what happens after you die, right?" he said. "I mean, you can't talk to someone who's dead, after all. There could be a heaven." Still, no matter what solution Jesse temporarily embraced — um, reincarnation? — it never included God.

The boys are 14 and 12 now. They glance at me slyly during the "under God" part of the Pledge; at their grandparents' Seders, they read aloud passages about the Burning Bush like overenunciating actors rather than believers. Done and done.

Lena is 9. She is not worried about death and she's not interested in being Jewish. She just wants to know how the world works. She asks everything: How long do chickens live and what is insurance and how do you remember the way to all the places you drive and how do girls masturbate?

I answered all of these. The God one should be relatively easy: It's a question atheists get asked all the time, usually by people who think we should use the gentler term "agnostic," people who are comfortable with doubt, but suspicious of certainty.

To them I would say that all evidence points to the fact that God is a popular and useful fiction, and that no evidence points to the fact that He actually exists.

And where's the evidence that He doesn't exist? That's what Lena's asking for. And that's what leaves many people in the "agnostic" camp and (understandably) makes many parents — even those willing to be counted as atheists themselves — wary of issuing definitive statements to their children.

The few books that offer advice to atheist parents counsel us not to be definitive. They tell us to let children decide for themselves what they do or do not believe. This seems perfectly reasonable. As open-minded, educated people, we should let our children decide for themselves, right?

I looked at my daughter, the fourth-grader, pencil poised over mixed number problems, head cocked, waiting. Should she get to decide for herself? No one told me God didn't exist. I grew up Reform Jewish and bookish. Technically, I guess, the prayers we said in Hebrew to bless the wine on Friday nights were addressed to an actual being. But when we talked about God, we spoke of Him as a fascinating literary character rather than as a real force in our lives.

So I have no memory of believing in God, even at my bat mitzvah; at my Jewish wedding we studiously avoided invoking His name. But it wasn't until I had children that I realized I had to spell it out: God was a compelling fiction created in response to human need.

That was enough for my boys, and I had assumed it was enough for Lena. But I had been wrong: She needed more. And it was my solemn responsibility as a parent to give her the information she asks for, to help her understand the world.

For that reason, it would never have occurred to me to let Lena decide for herself whether vampires exist (although there's no evidence to the contrary), or fairies or leprechauns, or all the denizens of Mount Olympus — even though some people at some point believed the Greek gods were real.

Fairies and Ares are magical, invisible beings whose existence cannot be disproven. Just like God. Logically, they are the same. But culturally? Emotionally? Not even close. There may be a whopping 3% of us atheists now, but it's still a believers' world.

We live in a culture in which at least 74% of us believe in a personal God, more than 40% of us believe God created the Earth 10,000 years ago, the calendar is counted from the birth of a deity (and the months are named for other, passé deities), our money states "In God we trust," witnesses swear on Bibles, and major political speeches end with "God Bless America."

In this context, it's hard even for me to remember it's all made up.

When I feel that way, Greek gods can be a helpful corrective, a reminder that just because a belief system is ubiquitous doesn't make it true. At some point, people were building temples to the Greek gods and atheism was a capital offense. And even then some brave mother managed to murmur to her kids, "Athena's a cool idea, but believe me, she's just pretend."

Take a breath, I told myself, step outside the believing world for a second, and tell your kid the truth.

How do we know, Lena? We know the way we know there are no fairies: The only proof is man-made and all the thinking behind it is wishful. We know because we are open to evidence and we have been given none. We know because —

But she had gone back to figuring out how fractions work.

Done. For now, at least.

Dealbreaker or not?

A friend of mine (who wishes to remain anonymous in hopes of retaining a shred of his dignity) told me how he was recently rejected by a girl he tried to ask out over email. They had met in person through friends, and after a few emails he asked her out to drinks, and she politely blew him off. He wasn't sure what went wrong; he was sure there was a spark when they had met.

Our other friend gave an explanation: "she saw your Hotmail address."

This friend has had the same Hotmail since 1997 (it could be worse; at least its his real name @hotmail.com, not a goofy handle). Every time I'm sending him an email, I have a moment where I'm not sure that's really the right address. In fact, another friend of mine once IM'd me asking, "do you have [redacted]'s email? All I have is his old Hotmail address." No one thinks a young hip person could possible actually use such an antiquated method of communication.

I tweeted out asking if ladies would date a guy with a hotmail, and the response was overwhelmingly "no way". One woman replied simply with "?". My friend was shaken; he signed up for Gmail that night.

Is it superficial and stupid to judge someone based on their email address? Sure, but in dating, we make a thousand tiny snap judgements about a potential date: are they rude to waiters? Are they wearing ugly sneakers? Do they smell good? You can infer meaning from the fact that someone uses a weird out of date email service – this person is out of touch, stubborn, not tech-savvy or stuck in the past. WHY NOT judge them for this? It's just as legit as admiring their backside or taste in movies.

But seriously, is this a deal breaker?

You might recognize Robert Buckley as dreamy Clay Evans from One Tree Hill, but these days he's starring as Major Lilywhite, the dangerously and woefully out of the loop ex-fiancé of a recently zombified medical examiner, on The CW's new show iZombie.

Buckley stopped by BuzzFeed New York to chat all about the series, and after making us all practically faint during his painfully beautiful photo shoot, he sat down to play a very difficult game of zombie-themed "Would You Rather." Here's what went down.

Would you rather have to eat brains or drink someone’s blood to survive?

Robert Buckley: Well, I would go with blood, because right now I’m kind of on this paleo kick and I guess we don’t know where brains falls into that whole mix. So it’s going to be blood.

Would you rather eat brains with noodles or drink a brain smoothie?

RB: I would much rather go with the brain smoothie because it’s just down in one. Get it over with.

Would you rather become a zombie or a vampire after being bitten?

RB: I’m gonna go with vampire on this one, because it just seems by and large vampires are always well dressed, they’re always good looking, they have incredible vocabularies, and they’re always rich. You’ve never seen a vampire like, “Ah shit, a $35 parking ticket. Ugh, Mondays!” So, vampire all the way.

Would you rather be eaten by a wild zombie or be turned into a dish at Meat Cute?

RB: Eaten alive by a zombie? So, I’m alive while this is happening? He didn’t have the courtesy to, like, knock me out?

No, it’s so rude.

RB: OK, flippin’ zombies. I’m gonna have to go with a dish at Meat Cute. Because at least they seem to know what they’re doing, and it’s not like animalistic and savage. And you know they got that "A" grade rating health-wise, so they run a tight ship there. Very, very clean operation.

Would you rather never play video games with blackout curtains again, or never have met Ravi?

RB: Oh my god. You guys. This is like a real Ravi’s choice — I mean, Sophie’s choice. I would rather never be able to play video games than not get to spend quality time with my sweet, sweet Ravi.

Would you rather turn into a zombie or be chased by a ton of them?

RB: I would much rather be chased by a zombie because, you know, I might win that footrace, and get to avoid the whole zombie thing. Plus, sweet-ass story!

Would you rather try Max Rager or Meat Cute?

RB: I would rather try Max Rager, because you don’t know what you’re getting with Max Rager. I mean, Meat Cute you know you’re eating dude or dudette.

Would you rather eat the brain of Beyoncé or Jay-Z?

RB: Oof. Well, this is a tough question. Actually, you know what, I would rather eat the brain of Beyoncé, because two summers ago we were vacationing at the exact same resort — and it was super secluded, there were very few people — and became, like, friendly. I don't wanna say friends, but [we] kind of became friends with the two of them. But especially B, because Jay, who knows what he was doing. So I’d wanna eat Beyoncé’s brain just to know if what she whispered in my ear on that last night, she really meant.

Would you rather be cast in the remake of Veronica Mars or Party Down?

RB: Ahh. Boy, it’s a tough call, but I would go with a Party Down movie.

Would you rather eat the brain of a sociopath or a serial killer?

RB: Well, I would probably choose to eat the brain of a sociopath because I’ve always wanted to be able to connect better with my mom and my dad, and I just feel like that would sort of help us out a lot, because sometimes we don’t see eye to eye on issues. I’m talking about you, Dad!

Would you rather fight one human-size zombie rat, or a thousand rat-size zombie humans?

RB: How late was it last night, when you sat down to write these questions?

Probably pretty late.

RB: OK. Obviously, this is very clear, this is something we all talk about often: I would fight a thousand rat-size human zombies.

Would you rather know your fiancé is a zombie, or go slightly crazy over time trying to figure her out and never find out about zombies?

RB: If I had a fiancé, I think I’d be so flippin' excited all the time anyways that I locked one down that I wouldn’t even care. I’d be like, "I tricked her! She fell for it!"

RB: No, I’m sorry. What was the question? Oh my god, I would much rather know that she’s a zombie. Next time we get in a scuffle in a movie theater parking lot, and some big guy is talking trash, I’d be like, "Yeah, really, OK?" Not gonna mess with my moneymaker because mama’s got zombies trained!

Would you rather dissect bodies in the morgue forever, or have to kill one "live" zombie with your bare hands?

RB: Do I have to do it with my bare hands?

Yes.

RB: Not even like a rock? Oof. My goodness. By the way it would have to be like a 4-year-old zombie. That’s so dark, sorry. What am I saying? Whatever, I’d kill the zombie with my bare hands. Because if I did the morgue for the rest of my life, how would I be able to be an actor, you know, and get to work on amazing programs like iZombie Tuesday nights at 9 p.m. on The CW!

Would you rather live in a world where zombies exist secretly, or a world where they walk around among you and you’re aware?

RB: A lot of stipulations to that one. At any point can they scratch us and cause an outbreak?

Yeah!

RB: OK. I don’t even need to ask what the second one is. It’s the other one.

Would you rather eat the brain of a rock star or an astronaut?

RB: Well, because I have already spent so many years dealing with just A-list celebrity and fame, ugh, and that whole burden, I think I would go with the astronaut. By the way, no one laughed in the room, but I am kidding. My nickname on set is Rob C-List Darling Buckley. I gave myself that nickname. I realize I’m nowhere near famous — so some fan mail wouldn’t hurt.

Would you rather duel with Blaine or Julian?

RB: By the way, duel? Are we like in medieval times? Jousting?

Yes, exactly.

RB: OK. Now that we’re jousting medieval times style, I would choose Blaine.

Would you rather be drinking buddies with Ravi or Liv?

RB: I would rather be drinking buddies with Ravi, for two reasons. One, that accent only gets cooler the more drunk you are. And two, I feel like Liv would be just like the worst, because it’d be like having a friend with an extreme case of ADD, in that you’d be in the middle of like, “And that was the first time I told my mom about my grandpa,” and she’d be like, “OH, I saw a butterfly, and it reminded me of this, I gotta go!” You know what I mean? You’d never finish a story.

Watch the season finale of iZombie tonight at 9 p.m. ET/8 CT on The CW.

An Australian photographer traveled to little-known parts of the United States, South Africa, and her own country to document the lives of the teenage girls from small towns.

She told BuzzFeed News that she felt she had motored through those years, and yearned for a way to revisit them.

That desire spurred the creation of Strydom's Small Town Girl photo project. The Australian native traveled to 18 towns across her home country, South Africa, and the United States, photographing girls aged 14 to 18 who live there.

Strydom, who is now based in Sydney, grew up in a small town, and focused specifically on areas with fewer than 20,000 people.

"I went into it thinking, 'You really matter, and I want to know who you are right now, not who you plan to be. Not who your teachers or coaches think you are,'" Strydom said.

This is where she went, and these are the girls she met.
