Some uplifting memes for everybody to warm their hearts to.

Sometimes you wake up on the wrong side of the bed. There's nothing wrong with that, we've all been there. It can be tough to pull yourself out of a downer mood. Maybe there's something getting you down, but often times you may find yourself not feeling great for no specific reason. So how do we fix that? Well, there's no easy answer to that. Your gut reaction might be to find something to brighten up your disposition just a bit. Maybe that's a certain song or some fantastic food. For me, at le…

Triple whammy

Ever find yourself sitting around, thinking about life and feeling like it's pointless? Perhaps it feels like a thankless charade in which your sole purpose is to benefit “the man,” make rich people richer, and suffer in your shoebox apartment. Perhaps all of your loved ones are gone, and you're feeling lonely. Maybe work just sucks, or you can't seem to shake this dreaded cold that has overtaken your aging body, making you feel decrepit, disillusioned, and deeply depressed. Whatever the case,…

Welcome to the new frontier of cat memes.

So mentally healthy

As Mrs. Peacock once said, “Well, someone's got to break the ice, and it might as well be me. I mean, I'm used to looking through memes; it's part of my husband's work. And it's always difficult when a group of new friends meet (to scroll through 30 hilarious images) together for the first time to get acquainted. So I'm perfectly prepared to start the ball rolling. I could start reading the memes out loud if you'd like. Or perhaps, I could pass them around in an orderly fashion. Whatevers going…

With all the incels and men's rights activists out there, it's pretty damn easy to worry about toxic masculinity and future generations. Many of my friends who are parents worry about bullying, bigotry, addiction, school shootings, and dangerous internet challenges. The world wide web has made many of these problems more prevalent. Being a parent is scary. Beyond those celebrities doing charity and making Instagram or Twitter posts about the latest hot-button social issue, it doesn't feel like…

If you're feeling drained by the world and, like, everything, you're not alone. We're all well aware of the turmoil facing most of the globe, be it pandemic-related, war-related, or violence-related. When times get tough and you fall into another doom-scrolling episode, it's best to try to press pause, take a deep breath, and do something that makes you happy. For us, that often means scrolling through something happy. The activity serves as a sort of palate cleanser in the face of the crap tha…

Atta boy.

As a kid I'd often visit the beach with my grandparents, just to peacefully watch the waves crash for an hour or so, and maybe look for sea glass or rocks that I'd later find were only pretty when wet from the sea water. On these trips we'd often see a man or woman slowly walking down the beach with a metal detector, smoothly hovering the thing over the sand. It was fascinating. I'd imagine what they would find - old coins, perhaps - maybe in a treasure chest, abandoned by the nonexistent pirat…

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: The world feels royally messed up right now. And it has for a while. If you don't maintain perspective, it's easy to succumb to the doom and gloom - especially when the news has nothing positive to say. Lucky for all of us trying to keep it together, there are little bright spots to be found. And a lot of them happen to live on the internet. While happy and wholesome posts may be a little less frequent than fear mongering and hate-spewing, we'll tak…

Turn that frown upside down.
