It's hard to understate how much the world is not made for autistic people. If you don't live up to a very specific standard of social behavior, you're branded as “weird.” It can be isolating growing up in a world where it seems as if everybody understands this secret language of social cues, but you just can't

Adulting is harder than it looks

It's all fun and game until they forget they've made plans

Not everyone's cup of tea

If you logged onto Tumblr for the first time as a tween without knowing what depression was, you certainly weren't going to log off without learning. If you weren't a teenager on Tumblr in the early 2010s, it's difficult even to describe how insane the content was regarding depression and mental health issues. It was a nearly constant conversation, with Tumblr users sharing graphic details of their experiences with self-harm and suicide. Sure, these posts built a community in some aspects, but…

Memes to calm our nerves

It's a full-time job

Too exhausted to care

Let's cut to the chase. We know why you're here. You want 30 hilarious memes of various subject matters injected into your bloodstream immediately. Well, if that's the case, I'm going to have to ask you a few questions. Where were you the night of June 28th? Haha, I'm just kidding. I know exactly where you were. These memes contain some pretty classified information. Only really advanced people like the Pope and Marina Ambromovic can see these. You might say this isn't your average list of rand…

Ah yes, the summer. As a child I looked forward to this. Freedom from school. Warm weather. Maybe going to the beach. Languishing in my incredibly hot house eating fake popsicles made of juice as my mom somehow drank hot tea and chain smoked in the kitchen. The best times were visiting my grandparents and getting to watch cable television. Nowadays, summer is slightly less boring, but mostly because we have to exist as semi-functioning members of society as the season gets continuously unbearab…

Once you leave school and get into the regular routines of life, it can be hard to find new things to do that make you think. It's often difficult to find something exciting to stimulate your brain. Many people use little games and puzzles to keep their brains challenged and active, which is admirable. While doing a crossword every day probably won't make you a genius, it can imbue little nuggets of knowledge into your mind that previously might have just stayed in the newspaper. Personally, I…

Free your mind and the memes will follow.

It's generational

Is my oven on?

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…

God. It has been a year. Or two. Or maybe even three. It feels as though I no longer have a grip on time. Perhaps it's because of the pandemic. Maybe it's because as you get older, time starts to move faster. But it could also be the crippling depression that makes a fog of the days, weeks, months and years. While the sunshine has slowly started to return to New York and peoples moods seem to be improving, I still can't help but feel the weight of the world on my shoulders as I go about my day-…
