Oh, the Kardashians.

Regret is a painful emotion. And as you get older, it always seems there's more to feel regretful about. There are loads of memes about being in the shower and thinking about the comebacks you could have used against that annoying coworker, or perhaps your mortal enemy. But that kind of regret is nothing. I, personally, have been having a hard time thinking about all the hours I've spent nursing drinks at the dive bars where my friends work. I'd offer to help them close in exchange for cheap dr…

There's a reason people tell you never to meet your heroes . Your favorite actors, comedians, and directors will always be a worse version of what you build them up as in your mind. Many celebrities live in their fans' consciousness as not only perfect artists but also perfect people. Even when you feel you're giving your favorite artist the praise and accolades they deserve, they might take that as creepy, too much, or just plain wrong. The third case is what happened this week between former…

As a principle, it's typically more ethical to support small businesses over chain giants like Walmart or the Golden Corrall. Supporting small businesses can improve your local community; even if it doesn't, you can easily delude yourself into thinking it does. TikTok has been a particularly useful advertising platform for many small businesses. From restaurants to slime manufacturers, if your business blows up on TikTok, there's no telling what amounts of success you might accrue. However, not…

Although Batman's Gotham City is allegedly inspired by New York , they are fundamentally different places. Even in the most crime-ridden parts of NYC, having a cast of uniquely themed, colorful villains running around town is unprecedented. That led some Twitter users to wonder, what would it be like to be an average citizen of Gotham City? The discussion started with one Twitter user asking if others would be willing to live in Gotham if the rent was as cheap as $300 per month. Naturally, livi…

What is a meme , really? Memes used to be a particular series of image macros that took over internet culture during the 2000s. These days, however, a meme is a much broader way of categorizing online content. Does a meme have to be made up of pictures and text? Must it be something that can be replicated in different forms, like how Bad Luck Brian was a consistent image with different white text every time? Does a meme belong to everyone or the person who created it? Is there any ethical way t…

Who would've thought

Are you all snakes, roses and daggers or are you all lions, compasses, and peonies? Because those are completely different personalities…

Why am I the last one?

Bye baby!

As trans visibility increases, one would think that the reception for people coming out as trans would be a little less negative. I've found that my trans friends have been met with loads of understanding and support after coming out. Unfortunately, it's not always easy for families of trans people to afford the same grace. While in the worst-case scenarios, trans people are abandoned or even attacked by their close-minded families, indifference or selective acceptance can be almost as damaging…

Some of these make a little too much sense

They're kind of beautiful
