Unless you've been living under a gigantic rock over the past month, you've probably seen those ‘ Fake Spirit Halloween Costume' memes flying around on Twitter, Instagram, and beyond. Well, we're back with some more. This time, the memes are dedicat…

Another day, another dollar

My earphones are always in, whether or not I'm listening to music.

Halloween is finally upon us , and you know what that means! It's time to speak to the manager about why it's on a Monday this year. Sure, having Halloween on a Monday, in some ways, makes the weekend longer, but you still have to go to work, don't you? A Thursday, I could accept. But a Monday? It's a disgrace. With the Halloweekend now gone, it's time to accept that the day itself will not be as iconic as what transpired this weekend. When you're a kid, Halloween is all leading up to this nigh…

“Most little girls choose princess, or barbie… Here's what my daughter chose.”

It feels like one day we were going about our lives in early October, and Halloween was a distant event in our bleak futures. And then, suddenly, BAM! The entire internet was brimming with memes using the new-ish Spirit Halloween costume format. While people have been making this kind of parody meme since 2019, the format completely exploded this month - to the point where the company itself is in on the joke, and the #SpiritHallowmeme hashtag is now a thing. Spirit Halloween even tweeted a tem…

Well, it's Halloween, and if you're a Harry Potter fan , you know what that means. On this very night in 1981, James and Lily Potter were murdered by Lord Voldemort, and Harry Potter became the boy who lived. Halloween changed the entire trajectory of Harry's life and set up the entire series. Halloween in the Harry Potter universe is not all doom and gloom. It was also the night that Harry, Ron, and Hermione confronted a troll in the bathroom. During their second year, the gang attended Sir Ni…

Imagine refusing to go to school because your mom didn't have time to make your special sandwich. This is unacceptable behavior for a kid, let alone a full-grown adult. One disgruntled stay-at-home-mom asked Reddit if she was the a-hole for calling her pilot husband “insane” for ditching work to teach his wife a lesson after she didn't have time to iron his uniform. Commenters answered with a resounding “not the asshole.”

Sometimes you gotta make lemonade with your lemons.

I guess I need to admit that we don't all have the urge to watch gruesome, bleak, and violent war movies and read books about statecraft and strategy. I fully recognize that as a 34-year-old woman, this may be considered an odd passion or pastime. But if you, too, watched Band of Brothers as many times as I have, you can definitely understand the fascination with brave American paratroopers descending through a smoke-filled night sky in France. At the very least, one must have some admiration f…

So specific

Witches only

As much as some people would like it to be, crime isn't black and white. There's nuance to breaking the law. Just look at the stories of Les Miserables or Robin Hood. The protagonists are thieves, one steals to feed his family, and the other to provide for the over-taxed and suffering poor. They're people, and crimes, we can sympathize with. While I don't think that murdering someone or burning a home down is chill, there's some law-breaking (and jokes about it) that at least inspire a bit of a…

The finishing touch

I love an art museum : I always have! My mom likes to tell this story about when I was three and visiting the Art Institute of Chicago. Allegedly, I turned to her and said my life had changed forever after visiting that museum. I don't remember saying that, but I do remember that going to museums was an absolute highlight of my childhood. The hard thing about going to museums as an adult is that everybody has different expectations for what you're going to do while you're there. I am a loser wh…
