This is why Photoshop tutorials exist.

The joys of retail

Literally what

Ever scroll through Instagram for so long that your soul starts to fill with dread? You're not alone. Facebook's extensive internal research showed that Instagram makes body image issues worse for one in three teenage girls. In September, the Wall Street Journal reported on Facebook's research and the data lays bare what we all knew was true deep down. Still, even those acutely aware that Instagram poisons the mind with FOMO and insecurity continue to use the app. At some point, a precedent was

Fit for a Duchess

I consider myself a novice birder. Due to my "gainful" employment, I don't have the leisure time to indulge in the wholesome activity, so I play Wingspan to try to ease the agony of deprivation. Last night, the game's tranquil soundtrack helped me drift off to sleep. There's something about the sound of sweetly chirping birds and the twinkling of a harp that is so soothing. Playing Wingspan, which was undoubtedly created with birders in mind, is as near to board game therapy as it gets, dependi…

The internet has been buzzing about cursed images since the dedicated Tumblr went live in 2015, but we just recently became aware of their slightly more positive brethren, the blessed image and the blursed image. The idea of a blessed image is pretty straightforward: an image that is sweet or wholesome, and leaves one feeling happy. Blursed images are a bit harder to pin down.

It seems like a couple of years ago, all of our friends were baking beautiful loaves of artisan bread and sharing their creations on Instagram. There was also that banana bread phase, the Beef Wellington phase (Thanks, New York Times). I don't bake, but I posted my fair share of foodstagrams during the pandemic. But after a while, I kind of lost interest in sharing. I even lost interest in c ooking. Being forced to cook all my own meals for a few years kind of took some of the joy from the proc…

For many people, food is the only thing that brings them pleasure. That faction of human beings includes me. While I'm eating lunch, I'm thinking about what's for dinner. I spend hours walking through supermarket aisles, definitely not under the influence of a smokeable plant, dreaming about the meals I can make with all the beautiful and fresh ingredients. Sadly, inflation has drastically changed my grocery-buying abilities. Come on, people. Blueberries should not cost $9.99. The sheer cost of…

Every now and then 4chan has a hand in something good. And today, well, this month, rather, is one of those times. The imageboard site is responsible for one of my favorite new memes, an exploitable meme format that involves a seriously hideous Zoomer hairstyle, famous actors and characters, and a whole lot of painful Zoomer slang. While both Zoomer ‘dos and Zoomer slang are pretty cringe, when they’re incorporated into these memes we rather like them. The memes first started popping up in May…

Bon appetit.

He's a hero

But really, which one was the actual masterpiece though?
