I feel like there's a lot of stigma associated with being average. Not to have a boomer take, but I do think that telling kids they were gifted in the early 2000s because they read more chapter books than their peers was a mistake. Whenever the topic of “gifted kids” comes up,

Brrrrp

As we dive into the autumnal season, many people are excited about the approach of Halloween . While I enjoy dressing up and partying as much as the next person, fall just makes me dread Thanksgiving. Dry turkey aside, as a woman who is approaching the end of child-bearing age, Thanksgiving promises a host of older relatives asking me when my partner and are going to have children. And as broke New Yorkers, one of whom is in graduate school, that's not happening any time soon, if ever. We're pe…

Do you want memes ? Well, let me tell you, you're going to get them. There's nothing more annoying than going on a Facebook page to find memes and finding nothing of the sort. Sure, these public groups with thousands of followers might have some memes, but mostly they have a whole bunch of nonsense. Sorry, Karen, nobody wants to see your seasonal recipe on a meme page! Why did some teen post 30 images of their bad digital art here? Is there nowhere sacred to just look for memes anymore? Actuall…

Aww

When cat rescuer @ellle_em was having a bad day, they turned to Twitter and made a very specific request. “Please reply to this tweet with an AITA written from the perspective of your cat and also include a photo of said cat I would appreciate this very much” tweeted @ellle_em. Boy oh boy did Twitter deliver. After @ellle_em got the ball rolling with some posts featuring a bunch of their lovely-looking rescues, other Twitter users got in on the joke and shared stories about their own mischievou…

I don't know if any social media will ever die yet live on so positively in people's memories as Vine has. The iconic quotes from Vine (I don't even have to list them for you to know them) have stayed within the internet cultural consciousness for years since the social media platform's untimely death seems to be emblematic of an internet culture lost to time. As much as I tolerate TikTok , I don't know if that app's trends will age as well as the late Vines. I'm nostalgic for the 2019 TikTok t…

Oh, happy day! It's time to pass some merry memes around the fireplace with Ma and Pa . Not to engage in toxic positivity, but how on earth could I be sad when I've got a gorgeous selection of humorous lined up for me ripe for the picking. Reading memes together as a family is what I'll remember far more than reading Charles Dickens or watching a “movie” together. Memes will make you laugh, and won't make you cry. They are so shallow and surface level that they won't inspire any emotions too co…

When our forefathers said, "quirked up white boy with a little bit of swag busts it down sexual style.. is he goated with the sauce?" they had no way of knowing how iconic their incomprehensible words would someday be. If you're among the uninitiated and are wondering, “What is a quirked up white boy? Am I goated with the sauce too?”

Pussy cat, pussy cat

Some ridiculous diagnoses

If there's one thing health and fitness people will do, it's talk about gut health. I understand that it's important for your large and small intestines to function regularly, but I wish there were other ways to talk about it. Something about the word “gut” rubs me the wrong way. It hits my ear the same way “moist” does for so many others. I know it's supposed to be a sanitised way to describe your bowel movements, but I feel like
