Come and get 'em

Once upon a time, when I was a wee lass, I found myself completely and utterly bored out of my mind. My toys brought me no joy. I was not allowed to watch television. I had read all of my books at least two times over. I whined. I kvetched. I threw myself upon the couch like a lovesick woman waiting for their beloved to return from the war. My mom would hear none of it. "If you're bored then you're boring," she'd say without looking up from her tea, cigarettes, and crosswords. Though I don't ne…

In times of crisis, cringe is inevitable, it seems. Especially on Twitter. Remember back in 2020 when Gal Gadot and a bunch of other Hollywood stars sang John Lennon's “Imagine” in one of the most impressive displays of cringe the internet had ever seen? Well it seems that influencers and celebs haven't learned a thing from that atrocity. They just can't help themselves. This week's Main Character is actor Dear Mister President Vladimir Putin… pic.twitter.com/LbDFBHVWJf — AnnaLynne McCord (@IAM…

Let's gooooo

Though some purists might disagree, there's really no right or wrong way to get a campaign started. Whether you're an experienced Dungeon Master who painstakingly builds narratives from scratch, or you're new to the game and want to learn through pre-written adventures, any kind of campaign has the potential to be rewarding and memorable. It's all about how the game is played. A DM can methodically put everything perfectly in place and still watch the game unfold in very unexpected ways. One mi…

Congratulations, internet traveler. It looks as though you have finally made it through most of a hectic, soul sucking week of average human existence. If the impending freedom of the weekend is distracting you with its celebratory tingles and buzz, we need to ask you to snap out of it. We know how exciting it is that the weekend promises some much-needed vegging. Or maybe you're the active type, preferring to go on a hike with friends (or furry friends) or walking around the city or town, aiml…

It's meme time

While in her delirious state, she thought these were the most hilarious things to hit the web. After sleeping on it, though, her opinion changed.

Drink up

On this day exactly 10 years ago, a meme was born. I'm not sure exactly which meme, but that's the special thing about memes—new ones are made every day. Every second. Even the dumbest Marvel movie takes years and millions of dollars to create. But the best memes are totally free and only take a few seconds to create. All you need is a funny idea. Some memes might stand out among others, but at the end of the day, memes need each other in order to stay relevant as a medium. Since the humor of m…

The best kind

Greetings. It is TWOsday the 22nd of February, 2022, and depending on where you are in the world, it very well may be 22:22 as you read this. Wouldn't that be something? Today's date is both an ambigram and a palindrome (unless you're in America), which means the date is perfectly symmetrical and can be read from left to right and upside-down. But the fun doesn't end today. February 2022 is an entire month of palindromic dates for anyone who uses the dd/mm/yy format. The last palindrome date us…

It is a bit cruel that the Tuesday after a three day weekend can feel so difficult. While we do believe in the idea of a four day workweek, sometimes the extra rest can make us extra tired when it comes time to return to our responsible realities. While the day is always tough, it just feels extra arduous - especially if your duties require you to cram five days of work into the shortened week. In times like these, we need memes more than ever. And lucky for all of you, Tuesday is when we suppl…

Pure chaos

The other day I saw a sign outside of a smoothie shop that said “when life gives you strawberries, make a smoothie." It was upsetting. For one, they completely missed the point of the proverbial phrase they were referencing (when life gives you lemons, make lemonade). But even worse was the blatantly low-effort attempt to be clever. Have some self respect.

If you're a human, chances are you're suffering. That's just the way it is. Sure, some people suffer way more than others, and it's good to keep things in perspective. But perspective doesn't necessarily save someone from having a complete meltdown over a spilled coffee or a stubbed toe after a particularly stressful week. Why? Because everything is relative. And we're human beings with irrational thoughts and feelings. 20% of the Amazonian rainforest has been destroyed, countries are threateni…
