We live in a society...

Do you ever get tired of your own thoughts ? I know I do. Especially the damn intrusive ones. Ever since I was a little kid, bleak thoughts would creep into my mind, distracting me from real life and preventing me from living in the present. Thoughts about death, thoughts about sickness, thoughts about the ails of the world. The older I get, the darker and more uninviting the world seems. So the thoughts persist, weaseling their way into my brain and turning neutral moments into negative ones.…

You know those “deep thoughts” circulating Facebook in crappy template format? The ones that are probably being shared by your drunk aunt or that completely unsubtle girl who is always going through something? Well, it's time they got a bit of a refresh. It seems like it's the most banal sentiments and relatable quips that get emblazoned on t-shirts, or even made into a neon sign for some

When I was a middle schooler , and if I'm being honest, a high schooler, I thought I was deep AF. The pain that coursed through my little hormonal veins was so potent.

I've only seen one episode of the latest season of The Boys . And it was pretty damn insane, which is saying a lot about a show that revels in gratuitous violence and (thankfully) humor.

And while a lot of it is thanks to the aforementioned violence and wit, there's something to be said about the character development. Every character is pretty complex, b…

They're not like the other girls

The internet is a veritable goldmine of sanity-defying cringe . While some of us use the world wide web for good, or like, not bad, there are individuals out there who are making it a painful place to scroll. And some of them are completely unaware of the damage they're doing to our eyes and brains. We're talking about those people who wear their heart on their sleeve and are unafraid of sharing their disillusionment, cynicism, and feelings of romantic failure with the entire world. Then there…

Let's hear it for r/showerthoughts.

Sprinkled with scrumptious satire

Thanks to the internet, it's never been harder to be a teenager — and boy, are they going to let us know about it. Whether it's the exposure to one too many TikTok dances or a resentment towards being left on read, there's something about the internet that seems to churn out wannabe youthful culture critics. As if that wasn't enough, they're usually about as intellectual as the jokes you read on popsicle sticks, if popsicles were preoccupied with that one Nietzsche quote they read once. On the …

Shower thoughts that made us go 'huh'
