So tender

That whole bang on pots and pans thing from early in the pandemic is long gone. It kind of feels like people just became complacent, both regarding the highly contagious and deadly disease that's plaguing the globe, and the people who care for them. The truth of the matter is that people who work in healthcare - doctors, nurses, EMS professionals - have always been overworked. Those long shifts caring for ailing people have never been easy. And over the last few years, they've definitely gotten…

Okay, maybe we don't all have the urge to watch war movies and read books about statecraft and strategy. I fully recognize that as a 33 year old millennial woman, this may be considered…odd. But if you, too, watched Band of Brothers as much as I have, you may understand the fascination with paratroopers descending through a smoke-filled French sky. Or the admiration for the camaraderie depicted in the HBO miniseries. These guys saved each other's asses as they all attempted to save Europe. For…

Kids these days.

Being a Harry Potter fan isn't the easiest these days. It's true that I have fond memories of blasting through ever long book, waiting in line for releasees at Barnes & Noble, and even joining a sorting community on LiveJournal. Even as a proud Ravenclaw, I take great issue with JK Rowling's incredibly vocal stance on trans women. Instead of abstaining from the series altogether, we prefer to enjoy Harry Potter-related content that comes from other sources - namely, meme makers and Twitter user…

Apparently, she also got her mom with this one—grandma's on a roll!

Being able to mess with strangers is a very specific skill set that only good pranksters master. It can go terribly wrong.

Any person with a love of memes who spends a bit too much time online will inevitably end up a little jaded, feeling as though they have seen it all. Their friends send funny jokes and memes to the group chat that they saw a year ago on Reddit or Twitter. They almost forget what it feels like to laugh. Once the existential dread sets in, they lie there, staring at the ceiling fan, thinking 'is this all there is?' We've put together a fun mix of memes and things with a little something for every…

Greetings, friends. Congratulations. You've made it through to the end of the weekend and have nothing to show for it. And Monday? Yeah, that's the evil shadow lurking over your shoulder, ready to suck the soul right out of your body. Before you give yourself up to the worst day of the week, and the pains of responsibility, why not inject some joy into your day with this pleasing collection of entertaining (and weird) memes ? This batch of humor features everything from absurd possum memes to r…

They woke up and chose violence.

Ah

When I was a kid I used to watch the same five movies on VHS over and over again. Jurassic Park, Mars Attacks, Independence Day, The Craft, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy (okay, that's three movies, but I'm counting it as one). Yes we had the internet , but as far as I was concerned, watching LOTR for the hundredth time was way more appealing than sitting around for several minutes waiting for the dial-up to do its thing so that I could continue downloading “track001artist0000_live_009281f7d…

As a kid, I was pretty obsessed with turtles. I begged my parents to let me have one as a pet, dragging them to where the hard-shelled creatures sat in the pet store. It was no use - my mother refused. “They smell terrible ,” she said, “and I know you're not going to be cleaning that tank.” I wailed. “Plus, they live forever. We don't want to get stuck with it when you go to college or if you change your mind.” The words stung, but later, I'd know that she was right. Instead of housing a turtle…

If you were stranded on a desert island and you could only choose one form of entertainment to have with you, would you choose movies, books, or memes ? Most reasonable people would probably choose either movies or books, but hear me out for a minute. Out of these three options, memes are the only medium that doubles as a communication tool. Without getting too deep into this hypothetical scenario, we have to assume that access to memes comes with limited access to the internet—otherwise, how w…

Woof.

Paper put to good use.
