Some of you may be familiar with our freelance editor, Mel. She used to work for Memebase full-time, but had to depart for another country after her partner lost his visa. If the lovely chap didn't own his own little apartment in Edinburgh, I would probably feel pretty bad for her. But he does. This means she doesn't really pay rent, and she gets to be somewhere that is not the United States. So I enjoy the Instagram posts featuring great food, adorable foxes, and gorgeous green hills covered w…

ASMR probably doesn't fall under the category of “Pumpkin Spice” vibes

Back again

Well. It's happened. I've gone and contracted Covid-19 again. It started small - with a little scratch in my throat and a low cough. Every year, without fail, I'll get sick with some flu or sinus matter, and then it always turns into bronchitis. So I thought I was cool. But no. I'm stuck in my room typing away with the piddling amount of strength I have left, fighting off the fever and phlegm. Lovely, right? Anyway. When I'm sick as a dog, most of the joy that is derived from everyday life gets…

The games are being held in a stadium that was built by slave labor, and many of these “workers” died in the process. Qat Some English fans were not allowed to enter the stadium after showing up in battle outfits from the Crusades.

It has always amazed me that the internet has a place for everyone. It has the incredible power to bring people together, and not just thanks to our social media platforms. Because of both meetup sites and meetup apps, people are making real connections with individuals who have similar interests. It's no easy feat to combat excruciating loneliness that seems to hang over many of our heads, so props to these people for taking action. It's great that some individuals can get together IRL, but th…

Bloody brilliant content

Press pause for memes.

Today is the day we've all been waiting for. Today nosy people can finally definitively know what music has been playing in their friends' and acquaintances' headphones over the last 11 months. Today's the day when you remember why you're not paying $9.99 for Apple Music. Today is Spotify Wrapped Release Day. Every year, Spotify gives you stats on all of the abjectly embarrassing music you've been jamming to since January. It tells you your top songs and artists and even curates a playlist of y…

The raw organs are a lie

I'm sure we've all heard the same line over and over again from non-readers: “I just don't have time to read.” The fundamental misunderstanding they h

Now that the gluttony and ritual of Thanksgiving have come and gone, 'tis finally the season for indulging in Hallmark Christmas/holiday movies. Now, I understand that many of you may consider the “films” (if you can call them that) a low form of entertainment. But gosh darn it, they are predictable! There are not many tropes that compare when it comes to formulaicity, a

Are you teaching your kid they're born to run or that they're master of puppets?

I'M TOTALLY FINE.
