To say life isn't fair would be an understatement. I'm currently juggling a million responsibilities, the existential dread of the era, and trying not to absorb the pain of everyone else and everything else that currently surrounds me. It's really difficult to keep it all together. Add that to the prohibitively high cost of therapy and a psychiatrist, and the cocktail isn't one that really makes one feel loosened up. The depression gives way to anxiety, which makes me so tired that it turns bac…

I am a simple woman who just wants people to be happy. Do you derive pleasure from chugging down ten 20 oz bottles of Diet Dr. Pepper every day of your life? If so, far be it from me to deny you such a delicacy. You might be the subject of derision from your family, your partner, your doctor, and society at large, but you won't be made fun of by me, no way, no how! We're all adults here, and we all have something in our lives that we do “too much” in order to cope with the extremely goofy

More good times online.

A lot of people have been talking about how Elon Musk ruined Twitter. While the dude is undeniably insufferable, we regret to inform these folks that the app has almost always been iffy at best. Sure, there's a lot to be laughed at (and learned about) on Twitter, but there's also a lot that scares us. Pompous incels spouting dangerous vitriol , political know-it-alls who love reading their own words, and those people who really, really need to touch grass one of these days. To say that Twitter…

Roll for memes.

Let's get weird!

Most jobs have pretty simple schedules. You go in during the morning, leave at night, sleep, and come back the next morning. Nursing is not " most jobs ." When you're a nurse, you could be working the night shift one day and working a day shift the very next day. It really does a number on your circadian rhythm. Once you get a big girl job, you'd think you'd have a more consistent schedule, going in the same time every week and getting used to the consistent yet grueling hours you need to work.…

If they never had to read the note they were trying to pass to someone to the entire class, they're too young for you.

Charcuterie platters are an exceptionally fun way to consume food. The bottom half of my personal food pyramid is already primarily occupied by classic items on the average charcuterie board: crackers, cheese, grapes, and pickles. Slicing all of these foods up into tiny portions and consuming them communally just makes the foods themselves taste even better. However, I have recently heard of a shake up in the world of charcuterie plates. Allegedly, according to rumors, there are now charcuterie…

I need to get something off my chest. You know all those viral TikToks where people take you through their adorable little morning routines? Well, I hate them. I really, really hate them. Who the hell gets up in the morning and actually thinks some sh*t like “Carpe Diem” as they apply their expensive skincare routine and drink a green smoothie? Well, I'm sure those people exist, but they're definitely RICH, and in no way reflect actual human beings. If I were to take you on a journey through my…

Highway robbery.

If memes are anything, they're ever present. We tend to think of memes as a newfangled 21st century invention, but that is simply not the case. Look at any newspaper or magazine from the 20th century, and you'll see some marvelous memes in unexpected places. In college, I visited my schools archives with the University humor magazine. The publication had been in print since 1911, so when we were able to look through old copies of the magazine, we were surprised to find how much meme formats of…

And for my next trick, I'll be breaking my own heart by exaggerating my place in other people's lives

This employee has learned that a Glassdoor review they wrote when they quit their job has been giving their past-employer grief with hiring. They left their position after experiencing unprofessional treatment from their manager, which they felt necessitated the review being written. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit this week by a user who shared their experiences with the popular sub. They posted their topic with the title “Left my old place due to bad management - M…

In the words of the popular rock band My Chemical Romance, “I'm nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot okaaaay, I'm not okaaaaaaaay, I'm not o-f*ckin-kay!” Yeah, I might be writing this at the end of a long weekend, but long weekends are just more free time to think about your problems if you're depressed and/or having a total existential crisis . Just kidding. Long weekends are the perfect time to try to ground oneself. While some people may turn to wordy self-help books, therapy sessions (expensiv…
