Hey lawyers, are you okay? I think the answer, for many of you, is a resounding “no.” That whole trope of parents wanting us to be lawyers seems pretty messed up based on all the memes lawyers are making about how terrible - and terribly tiring - their lives are. After slaving away at school, it seems that you have a whole lot more work to look forward to, and because of that, a pretty oppressive schedule and a dubious quality of life. But then there's the whole paycheck thing. Based on these l…

Being a parent during the days following Halloween is an insane exercise in self-control. A bag or multiple bags of assorted candy is sitting dormant in your house at this very second. Surely, nobody would notice if you took one fun-sized Snickers bar , right? There's no way stealing some Dots would make you one of the worst parents in the world pertaining to the aftermath of Halloween. Parents out there make their kids give away all of their candy to the local dentist's office! There are paren…

For as long as I can remember, being a trash animal has been considered the adorable raccoon's game. The masked critters would creep around in the night, destroying giganting garbage bags of food, rifling through compost, and even waltzing into my Brooklyn apartment to hydrate from my poor cat's fountain. Once they just straight up started gobbling up her food. Until relatively recent years, raccoons left our other favorite trash critter, possums, in the proverbial dust. Possums are complicated…

Green juice is gross, don't lie

Some are thin, and some are fat. The fat one has a yellow hat. From there to here, From here to there, Funny things are everywh…

Or are you the bad guy?

There is nothing more humiliating in school than being dress coded. I remember being dress-coded by a teacher I once thought was my friend: the middle school theatre teacher. I soon learned that he was nothing of the sort. He made me change from simple black leggings into sweatpants from the 90s, and I was horrified. I don't know what changed in him, but one day he snapped and started ranting about the importance of the dress code and how we need to “dress our age.”

Claws out

Twitter has a new main character this week, complete with a wild and unexpected backstory. I've found that most of the “Twiter Main Characters” tend to be parents who make mind-numbing decisions regarding raising their family. One of the most infamous of these characters is the Bean Dad, who sat idly by and watched his young daughter struggle to open a can of beans with a can opening for hours without helping her. Earlier this year, a parent described supporting their adopted kid's emotional ne…

Nostalgia works in interesting ways. Typically, we see media and culture going through the 20-year nostalgia cycle , where iconography and media from 20 years ago come back into style. We saw it in the 90s with shows like That 70s Show, and we saw it in the 70s with movies like Grease . We're even seeing it now with early 2000s fashion coming back for Gen Z. Nostalgia comes in different cycles, and it seems to be coming quicker than ever. I'm even starting to see nostalgia for 2012 popping up l…

I know this might be a cold take colder than the arctic, but I love how food looks in anime. Something about the lighting, the preparation, and the overall food vibes in anime put me at ease. I'd say that the unique aesthetic of anime shows and movies are some of the driving forces that draw people, particularly Americans, to them. After all, adult animation made in the United States can be so ugly. I mean, have you seen Big Mouth? Oftentimes, American showrunners and animators care a lot less…

It's good to teach kids about financial responsibility throughout their lives, but forcing them to buy everything themselves is not the way to do that. One redditor opened up about her spiteful husband, who seems to think it's totally fine to make her 16-year-old daughter feel guilt-ridden every time she wants something. Because the teenager has a part-time job, her stepdad will apparently say “you have money, buy it yourself” anytime she asks for something. When the girl's mom asked Reddit if…

I'm going to come out and say it: I'm a Scorpio. And it hasn't been easy. Scorpios are one of the most maligned signs of the zodiac . I think we are simply misunderstood. There's so much more to us than being jealous, or incredibly, mind-blowingly sexy. We contain multitudes. For example, we're really, really good at stalking people on the internet. We're also fiercely loyal people, willing to go the extra mile for our family and closest friends (of whom we may not have that many - Scorpios lov…

If variety is the spice of life, then memes are spicy as hell. Think about it. If it exists, there are memes about it. We've covered everything from knitting memes to forklift operator memes , and those two topics are the tiniest drop in a massive bucket (of memes). Memes are as varied as the people who make them, and if we start thinking about this on a global scale it's daunting. Hell, I've even seen fart kink memes, and I wish I hadn't. Fortunately for everyone looking at this little batch o…
