Greetings, Trekkies. It's really no wonder Star Trek has so many loyal fans. Gene Roddenberry's visionary imagination birthed a universe that remains a beacon of progressiveness even to this day. From the pioneering original series to more recent, bold spinoffs Star Trek: Discovery and Strange New Worlds, these television (and cinematic) masterpieces have always championed characters and storylines that embody tolerance, curiosity, and peace. We really can't help but marvel at the vastness of t…

Yikes

It's finally over

Getting together with your family for a vacation can be extremely stressful. There's travel to worry about and food to make, but most crucially, there's the pressure and desire for everybody to get along. Some of us come from bloodlines that get into screaming matches over having to wait in line for Space Mountain for 20 minutes too long. Others might be the product of a passive-aggressive lineage where your aunt implies a lot of shady stuff about you while walking down the Champs-Élysées. One…

It should come as no surprise that Twitter has a lot to offer in the funny content department. Comedy writers and aspiring humorists love to create short, pithy tweets that are full of wit and send them out into the world for us unfunny schmucks to enjoy. The only problem here is that the bird app also happens to be brimming with negativity. The political debates, offensive remarks, and persistent trolls feel omnipresent. Because of this sad fact, w e've gathered some of the more recent and amu…

New relationship pathologizing term just dropped

Every week we churn out a hefty helping of memes inspired by (or featuring scenes from) The Lord of the Rings . Lately, we've been offering up the same for fans of Star Wars. Is it bold of us to assume that there's some overlap where their fans are concerned? Apparently not. In fact, we'd wager that these Star Wars / LOTR crossover memes count as pretty good proof. This particular mix of Tolkien-ized Star Wars memes mostly features characters and meme formats from the prequels, which makes sens…

I have never been discriminated against on the ground of being blonde. A blessed bottle of bleach touched my scalp for the first time when I was twenty, and I've been addicted ever since. Being blonde has gotten me nothing but compliments and a couple of wild assumptions that it's natural, which is absurd considering the brown caterpillars that are my eyebrows. "Dumb blonde" is one of those playground insults. It can be exceedingly hurtful to kids who are called that, but kids usually grow out…

[having a universal human experience] how could this happen to me?

Today I did something rare. I took a moment to celebrate my accomplishments. First I patted myself on the back for diligently making the bed. Next I soaked up the satisfaction of finishing my coffee while it was still pleasantly warm. Though I may not have fulfilled my ambitious goal of consuming a 16 oz glass of water, the morning felt like a productive one. Let's face it, nobody's flawless, not even an icon like Keanu Reeves. It's reasonable to assume that even he entertains mischievous thoug…

Beers in the shower just hit different

Take 'em

It seems as though an increasing number of adults in the United States are recognizing that their struggles with focus, task completion, and interpersonal interactions may have been caused by ADHD . Everyone gets sidetracked occasionally, especially when the internet relentlessly attacks your attention span, but attention deficit and hyperactivity can be totally crippling on a completely different level. It's definitely made me feel like a worse conversationalist and a less productive human. An…

Not a wise decision
