Not all memes are for everybody. They're much like stinky french cheese at a viciously overpriced grocery store. You might smell one and initially think, “Wow, this smells like battery acid. What an unpleasant thing to put in my mouth or near my brain.” However

On and on

Life has a lot of ups and downs. As a depressed person in their mid-thirties, I'm definitely feeling that hard. Every time I think there's something to celebrate, life laughs heartily at my happiness, points rudely, and says “F*cK you!” It's pretty demoralizing. Just last week I was celebrating a friend's birthday and gearing up for a relaxing long weekend. The flu had other plans. Instead of diving into a debaucherous whirlwind of fun, I was stuck on the couch through the holiday, wishing for…

Mess

They definitely deserve at least a pizza party after that bend-and-snap.

My ancestors wouldn't be proud

This is not your average meme list. One might say this meme list is a bit random . The posts included in the list are not related to each other in any way. They are simply brought together and placed in an order with no rhyme or reason to it. Isn't that a bit silly? Quite whimsical, if you ask me. Listicles of random memes are, as Lady Gaga so eloquently put it, "talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopper, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done bef…

Literature was my least favorite subject growing up. It felt like the teachers (and later, professors) had some elevated sense of self that required them to be dismissive of any analysis that was different than their own. While discussing the tired and antiquated Scarlet Letter , the woman would cock her head when I spoke, letting me know she “didn't follow” and “not quite sure I understand.” Weird flex, but okay. The low caliber of English literature teachers le me to pursue other related cour…

Bed time for the kids, meme time for the adults!

I've spent way too much time wondering if memes have a deeper purpose . Maybe it's because I look at them every day, and maybe it's because, well, they're basically my job. But I mean, come on, sometimes a funny picture about struggling to get up in the morning is just about needing more sleep. That said, sometimes there's a bit more than meets the eye. See, we're all hooked on these funny pics that are flying around the internet. We spend literal hours scrolling through them and sharing them w…

Into the wormhole we go

There, there

She's our grandma now

These days, with all the horrible and stressful things going on in the world, you wouldn't think we need to make things feel even crazier by asking "what if?" through art. But somehow, the science fiction genre is still alive and kicking. And we believe it's the ultimate escape from reality, with its far-out planets and mind-blowing technology. That said, science fiction isn't just about the crazy stuff, the fighting, or the special effects. It's the characters that really get us hooked, and th…

The internet has a special place for just about everyone. It has this amazing ability to bring people together, and not just through the popular social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram. Meetup sites and apps, for example, are helping people connect with others who share their interests. It's pretty cool because they probably wouldn't have met otherwise. It's not easy to overcome the loneliness that many of us feel, so we have to give credit to those who put themselves out there. Now,…
