Oh, joy! It's another beautiful day on the glorious internet. But if we're being totally honest, things are not feeling... great. The truth is that it is far from easy to be chained to your computer on any given day, but when the world seems extra messed up, it's even worse. Rising rents, piddling salaries, the absolute state of the world (cough Ukraine cough Israel) is almost too much for us to take. And we're expected to just ignore the goings-ons and make silly little posts while the world f…

Awkwardly true

Ummmmm what

Having a little bit of fun or wasting our time on the internet might seem like a simple feat for most internet enthusiasts, but it is actually a lot more complicated than one might believe. Boredom has a way of eroding our abilities to pursue intelligent activities, pastimes, and/or hobbies. It doesn't help that our attention spans have all but been reduced to nada. It is actually quite depressing - it's impossible for me to make it through a forty-minute television episode without feeling ants…

Generational gaps are frankly hilarious because as the years go on, and the older we millennials get, we begin to understand our elder's frustration with us. How does this come about? Well, it begins with a seemingly normal day; you're on your way to work, and stop to get your morning coffee at your local cafe, when suddenly your ears begin ringing. Thinking to yourself in caps letters, you turn your head to glare at whatever is making that noise. The person making the noise is quite a vision.…

Wait, we have a test today?

What's causing the Adderall shortage right now 👀

[having a universal human experience] how could this happen to me?

Beers in the shower just hit different

It seems as though an increasing number of adults in the United States are recognizing that their struggles with focus, task completion, and interpersonal interactions may have been caused by ADHD . Everyone gets sidetracked occasionally, especially when the internet relentlessly attacks your attention span, but attention deficit and hyperactivity can be totally crippling on a completely different level. It's definitely made me feel like a worse conversationalist and a less productive human. An…

Did you guys see the flaming bagpipe Darth Vader unicycle man cross the Willamette today?

Help! I'm being spontaneous!

Whenever my brain isn't operating at its most optimal level, I find it helps to take frequent breaks. The brain needs chill and restorative time to start working to its best ability, even if the best is a pitiful, nearly vegetative hum. You can't be overdoing it by reading a book or trying to learn Spanish with the help of a dumb app. No, it's during these desperate and mind-numbing moments that we turn to memes. Let's face it: Most memes don't require a lot of intellectual ability. And they're…

Tumblr's been name-checked pretty frequently lately, for a few different reasons. Allegedly, nudity and pornography are making a return to the site. Tumblr made the controversial move to ban porn back in 2018, due to the app's removal from the iOs app store. The decision caused quite a bit of controversy , so users have been excited for the return of boobies and erotic fan art. As Twitter users join the mass exodus from the bird app, many people have been touting Tumblr as the next-best thing -…

Yummy

While I'm more clever in person than I may seem here, there are certain things I struggle with. It's hard for me to finish writing that I've started for myself. Long-form, I mean. I'm scared to commit to endings. That said, I also happen to struggle with really short form as well, namely tweets. As hard as I've tried to go viral for a funny observation about life or a silly anecdote, they kind of fall flat. Perhaps it's due to the high levels of self-deprecation . We may never know. Fortunately…
