Getting through it

Mental Health: Who wants it? Who's got it? Who can't live without it? Isn't it crazy that you have to maintain your brain just as much as your body to be a fully functioning human? Despite the destigmatization of mental health treatment in society, taking care of your mind is still no easy feat. Therapists often have long waiting lists, so you can't get the help you need when you need it most. Therapy can also be super expensive, and a lot of people have to pay out of pocket to get it. And once…

Raise the flag

When cat rescuer @ellle_em was having a bad day, they turned to Twitter and made a very specific request. “Please reply to this tweet with an AITA written from the perspective of your cat and also include a photo of said cat I would appreciate this very much” tweeted @ellle_em. Boy oh boy did Twitter deliver. After @ellle_em got the ball rolling with some posts featuring a bunch of their lovely-looking rescues, other Twitter users got in on the joke and shared stories about their own mischievou…

They're improvisational

Robert Frost was onto something when he penned the words “Nothing gold can stay.” The older we get the less things seem to have consistency. The glinting reality we once existed in has lost its sparkle. The activities we once loved are now enjoyed with a fraction of the same enthusiasm. That intense honeymoon phase of our relationships? You guessed it. They crumble into comfortable, routine dust. Pretty soon you find yourself trying new things - forced dance classes, wine tastings, perhaps walk…

It's really been feeling like everyone is detrimentally caught up in productivity and being busy. It's like some gross badge of honor when talking with friends or family about what they've been up to. "Oh my god, I'm so busy right now, when will this ride stop?" you say to your peers when you're asked about how you're doing. Only it's not just "right now." After a while, that answer is all there is. Busy has become the norm - if you're not stressed or just constantly grinding, sometime feels of…

Here at Memebase we recognize that there is a demand for mostly-basic and very relatable memes . And there's really nothing wrong with that. That said, we have to admit that after years of scrolling through that simple and easily-consumed content, we tend to appreciate the weirder memes a little more. Memes that might be incredibly surreal, or even completely nonsensical. Memes that make you scratch your head, or even weird you out. And, of course, memes that are ever so slightly offensive. We'…

Cats are the bomb, but cats have their fair share of haters who can never keep it to themselves. These cat haters all have the same blanket excuses for disliking cats. One of these excuses is, "when you die, your cat will eat your dead body." Well, to that, I say, I'm glad she will. If my cat didn't gobble up my corpse in a desperate bid at survival, I would be disappointed, to say the least. But let's not think about that morbid side of cats. Let's think of positive things! Sunshine, rainbows,…

You don't have to crack open a textbook or a non-fiction account of some historical event to indulge in a little history. Right now, it's perfectly understandable that any of us would want to escape the present with a little trip to the past. But what if we told you that the journey through time could be one that is humorous in nature? I know, we're blowing your minds right now. But it's true. All you have to do to enjoy some historical teachings and humor is scroll through some history memes .…

Does anyone actually use Facebook anymore? I find myself asking that question every time I log in for work. And each time I'm surprised by the number of people sharing their boring thoughts and baby pics on the godforsaken social networking site. While there are a lot of people contributing to some solid “Weird Facebook” groups and themed meme pages, the most vocal characters on Zuckerburg's sinister brainchild are decidedly unfunny, bordering on unhinged. We're talking middle aged women who po…

Mmmm...delicious!

There's a long history of pitting introverts against extroverts, and a long history of stereotypes about the two. Introverts are supposed to be shy, boring, and antisocial, while extroverts are obnoxiously the opposite: loud, attention-seeking and annoying socialites. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the actual definition of introvert is as follows: “introvert: a person whose personality is characterized by introversion : a typically reserved or quiet person who tends to be introspe…
