Halloweekend is almost upon us , and I, for one, and excited. I may or may not have gotten too many costumes (is three too many? three is probably too many), but at least I know I am prepared beyond belief for what this weekend will entail. The good thing about this Halloweekend is that I feel confident that this is the sole Halloweekend of the year. Whenever Halloween falls squarely in between two perfectly good weekends, that's when I get a little bit concerned. Last year, I went out to a bar…

It's that time of the year when we're all thinking the same thing: what if I moved into a secluded rural cottage with the love of my life where we could bake bread and connect with nature ? Something about fall makes you want to be at one with the natural world, no matter how much of a city slicker you are. I want some leaves to crunch under my shoes outside of my rustic farmhouse, and I want it now! Nature allows your mind to relax and think about things in a whole new way. Nobody tries to sel…

Well, someone's got to break the ice, and it might as well be me. I mean, I'm used to looking through memes , it's part of my husband's work. And it's always difficult when a group of new friends meet (to scroll through 30 hilarious images) together for the first time, to get acquainted. So I'm perfectly prepared to start the ball rolling. I could start reading the memes out-loud if you'd like. Or perhaps, I could pass them around in an orderly fashion. If I'm being truthful, I mean, I-I have a…

Dogs are an S-tier pet if there ever was one. They are called man's best friend for a reason; doggos are uncritical, love you unconditionally, and are generally a blast to be around. Dogs might not be for everyone, but if you're an extrovert who wants even more social interaction in your life, then these furry friends are perfect for you. Even if you're more of an introvert, having a sweet, cuddly, and quiet dog around you is a welcome distraction from all the annoying people in the world. Alth…

PETA has almost always been a controversial animal rights organization. On the surface, their mission is completely agreeable. Is anyone *against* the ethical treatment of animals? The truth is that when you dig deeper, as this Tumblr thread reveals, PETA's practices are the complete opposite of moral or ethical. This is a very, very sobering reminder that one should always look into an organization's methods before supporting them. If you're looking to support some relatively sane Animal Right…

I was never one of those kids who was obsessed with reading . I was a fan of child pulp fiction books (Magic Tree House, Junie B. Jones, The Babysitters Club, etc.), but I never identified as a bookworm. I was known to fabricate entries on my reading log, and I was not ashamed of it. My reading-neutral stance was mostly because I never found books I really fell in love with, but it was also related to my disdain for kids who bragged about reading at a college level. Even in my 4th-grade mind, I…

Let's be real for a second…consuming memes typically does not take a lot of brain power. Sure, some of them have words, but most have such a negligible amount of words that reading them barely counts as “reading.”

Please no, not again...

Dinosaurs might have gone extinct, but Dino memes are forever.

Oh hell no

The internet is full of strange oddities that are unparalleled. Where else can you find footage of crazy Karens , TikToks documenting frog armies , and of course, memes . Memes are the things that make all of the incomprehensible weirdness that festers on the internet actually make sense. If you are dumbfounded by something happening online, you're sure to find a meme that can explain it. Sometimes, the meme itself is the part that doesn't make any sense, but we refined meme consumers find a wa…

1001 [Blanks] You Must See Before You Die is a gimmick book series that I cannot get enough of. It includes titles such as 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die and 1001 Albums You Must Listen To Before You Die. As a child, my favorite book was 1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die. As much as I loved reading them, these books ask a lot of you. Seeing every single one of these paintings and reading all of these books, they truly will take somebody a lifetime to accomplish. I recently mad…

As you move through this world, you will meet some divas with such an insatiable zest for life that it's hard even to conceptualize what it's like to live inside their brains. This attitude can be cute…until it is annoying. There's a delicate balance between having a genuinely positive attitude and trying to force niceness into every situation despite its appropriateness. The latter option is passive aggression, the most toxic positivity man ever invented. If you don't take it too far, having a…

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…
