Before entering an industry, it's good to know whether the people in it are completely rotten . This is easy to gauge when you're only applying to jobs on a small scale. I knew I did not want to work at the Smoothie King in my hometown when I was in high school because all the kids who worked there were absolute menaces. That was easy to avoid. However, if I dedicated my schooling life to becoming a fierce mortuary professional and subsequently found out that everyone in the death industry was…

A gripping social experiment

Historical Fiction is a wildly popular genre. Some movies and television series that fall under the umbrella strive for complete historical accuracy, others, like Bridgerton and D ownton Abbey occupy a historical alternative universe, which allows them to take some liberties where casting and even plotlines are concerned. The increasing popularity of these alternative timelines begs the question: Exactly how faithful do these programs really need to be when it comes to history? A recent Twitter…

Hagrid got zaddyfied...?

Who's gonna tell them about Pajama Day in high school?

Every trad weirdo on the internet has a different idea of how women should be. Trad guys want to return to the traditions of some idyllic version of the past, but none can seem to agree on which historical time period they're longing for.

The lip balm was mentioned all the time in our favorite teen magazines , and the popular girls at school applied and reapplied every five minutes. That sh*t smelled so good. While it took a while for me to convince anyone to buy it for me, once I had it, I was hooked. And I felt…

Is it fashion or is it Mystique from 'X-men' trying a new color out?

They're back in style

Fashion is funny. The other night at karaoke I saw two women dressed like a post-9/11 nightmare. Those child-proof bandanas you can tie. Their G-string thongs peeking from their heinously low-rise jeans. Baby-sized baby pink tees with Abercrombie logos. As a millennial who was denied all of these things by a strict mother , it brought back some serious feelings. Fashion choices, such as these, can inspire a lot of emotions and reactions. Anger. Sadness. And most hilariously, disgust and mockery…
