It's okay to admit it. Everyone gets tired of the Internet at a certain point, or at least at some point during the day if your whole job depends on being on it. But more specifically, if you avoid Twitter and have never composed a short and sweet tweet , we really can't blame you. That sick universe can actually be surprisingly intimidating - or downright unpleasant if you say the wrong thing or scroll through the wrong part of Twitter. That said, we do enjoy indulging in the witticisms of the…

Happy hump day, y'all. I used to think that the phrase “hump day” was created by Camel cigarettes as part of some stupid marketing campaign, but it turns out the phrase has been used since the 1950's. It seems that despite what your Boomer family members might say, people have felt the burden of the 5-day workweek for a very, very long time. And they started using psychological tools like “hump day” to try to make themselves feel better about all the drudgery. Knowing you're at - and joking abo…

Happy Valentine's Day, y'all. Hope you're recovering from all the dips, wings, and other fried foods you probably consumed at the Super Bowl this week. As I pretended to watch the ol' game and refreshed Twitter over and over for memes, my boyfriend made a comment about how football is a very militaristic sport. He likened it to a battlefield, something about lines, whatever. I don't really get the whole nitty gritty of it, but I do appreciate a good battle scene. And what series does battle sce…

Woah

You've done it! You've really done it. You have survived another debaucherous, boring, or even - healthy - weekend on planet Earth, and now it's time to return to the of the agonizing responsibility of the Monday through Friday workweek. After sleeping for 11 hours straight last night (I'm not one for the Super Bowl) and my rejuvenating therapy session, it is feeling a little easier to bend over for the man and write silly litle blurbs like this one. This particular collection of memes (and twe…

It's easy to take birds for granted, especially when you live in an urban setting. The prevalence of pigeons, sparrows, and starlings here in New York is such that you can forget that they're kind of cool. Yes, even the pigeons. The hatred humans have for them has long been dispelled as misguided and unfair. In fact, contempt for pigeons didn't really exist until humans started building cities – and pigeons started adapting. Which is exactly what most humans were doing, too. Whenever I leave th…

Soothing

Great. We've officially reached the time of the year that makes it entirely too difficult to get out of bed. After some unseasonably warm weather, we here in the northeast are feeling the transition pretty hard. All I want to do is make soup (last night it was avgolemono, a delightfully lemony Greek chicken soup) and curl up with a good movie or two. The other option we enjoy as an alternative to getting out of bed and being productive is just staying under the covers and mindlessly scrolling t…

I want to go out to the bars, but I also really really don't want to

Have you ever been destroyed by a deviously clever comeback or 'brutal fact' that feels totally wrong but still can't be argued with ? We're talking about the kind of remark that feels illogical or stupid but is technically true and makes you want to simultaneously give the finger to and high five the person who uttered it? You've got to know what we're talking about. And if you're not in the know, then you're probably missing out on the delicious comedy of r/technicallythetruth . The subreddit…
