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…

Taking time off, no matter what your job entails, is absolutely crucial for mental health and general wellbeing. But some employers either don't agree with that, or simply don't care. Such is the case of Redditor u/Nannyneedabreak, whose username kind of says it all. By her account, the twenty-two year old woman has been nannying two amazing kids, aged six and eight. And she's never taken any time off. Seven months ago, she decided to request time off for her sister's wedding this coming weeken…

There is a lot

It's nearly as American as apple pie to have some sort of elaborate prank rock your high school. But at Edward R. Murrow in Brooklyn, there was pretty much only one. The old “5th floor pool” prank. Upperclassmen would hand out maps on the first day of school that touted a massive, Olympic-sized pool, complete with changing rooms and showers. Of course the incoming freshmen were giddy about this development. There was just one problem: the pool didn't exist. As school-aged pranks go, I've always…

I am nothing if not a Hedi Klum stan . I started watching Project Runway when I was about 7 years old, and it took me rewatching it this summer to realize that she was the perfect host. Something about Heidi's delivery of information to the designers, her German accent, and her charm makes her an absolute joy to watch onscreen. Unlike Nina Garcia and Michael Kors, she is not so bitter and critical, and she brought a level of fun to the judge's panel that was desperately needed. Heidi has always…

Happy Tuesday, y'all. I don't know how to say this, but I've been feeling this major void. My Mondays working from home feel empty. I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread. It took me a little while to realize it wasn't just the stomach flu I'm afflicted with, but it finally dawned on me that I actually really miss watching The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. For all the sh*t I talked during its run, the show wasn't half bad. And the memes inspired by Ring…

Time to put a Santa hat on that skeleton decoration.

Stock up on some Pedialyte

Ahhh

Tired of being tired, but awake enough to complain about being tired.

I've got a real case of the Mondays. Some might say that that is an incredibly corny way of saying that “I'm tired and over it,” and to that I say, you're absolutely correct. I am here to reclaim dad culture by self-diagnosing myself with a bonafide case of the day of the week Garfield the cat hates most. I think I hate Mondays more now that I'm an adult. When I was in college, I was doing homework all of the time anyways, so it didn't matter as much what day of the week it was. As far as I cou…

She might've been a side character in ‘Rocky Horror,' but she's now HGTV royalty!

I want you to think about something for a second. When was the last time you actually used a map? Like, really consulted it? We've all got them in our phones, but I'm talking physical maps . With the exception of a few hikes, I know I haven't gone the analog route. It's kind of surreal how dependent we've become on our phones and GPS. Maps are now a fun feature when we're looking for a delivery restaurant, or consulting a news article about the spread of Covid-19 or the war in Ukraine. Our favo…

“Since he's retired he hasn't had very much engineering to do… so he booby traps the packages…”

There's nothing worse than waiting to get paid by a shady corporation . When I worked at a restaurant during my senior year of high school, my boss told me that the clock-in system was broken. He told me not to worry and that he would ensure I got the time I worked during those shifts accounted for. I did as I was told and didn't clock in for about 5 or 6 shifts during the Christmas season. Little did I know that I would never see any of that money from those shifts. I don't know if my boss for…
