Poor soul

Nobody could survive this

A moment in time

Summer days drifting away...

Twitter has almost always been a controversial zone. Over the past few years, it feels like it's gotten…worse. Worse in the sense that there are more people on the site spewing hot takes and stupid sentiments. It's also worse because Donald Trump isn't around to spice things up. Yeah, we said it. Lately, however, the site has been embroiled with a little extra drama. This has a lot to do with Elon Musk's acquisition of the ‘Bird app.’

Let's be real: College sucks for a lot of reasons. The “Freshman Fifteen,” midterms and finals, essays that take you a million years to write and rewrite, only to rewrite again. I hated it all. But dealing with haughty, self-important professors may have been the absolute worst. I remember at University of Toronto, I had a professor who only assigned books he had written. This is a sure sign of a narcissist and someone who cares far more about their reputation and book sales than they do about…

I AM A SURGEON

Historical Fiction is a wildly popular genre. Some movies and television series that fall under the umbrella strive for complete historical accuracy, others, like Bridgerton and D ownton Abbey occupy a historical alternative universe, which allows them to take some liberties where casting and even plotlines are concerned. The increasing popularity of these alternative timelines begs the question: Exactly how faithful do these programs really need to be when it comes to history? A recent Twitter…

Happy November, y'all. October was kind of a month. I'm sure a lot of stuff happened, but it's already a blur. Kanye West was Kanye West-ing, Elon Musk brought a damn sink into Twitter HQ , and Halloween happened for what felt like a week straight. Those events are enough on their own, but we're definitely missing a lot. One thing we're not forgetting is the wealth of hilarious, weird, and relatable tweets shot into the world by people who probably spend way too much time on the internet. In fa…

Listen. I'm not proud of it, but I've watched every season of Bridgerton. I actually watched the first season twice. And while the series may seem better suited to repressed moms, my friends and I relished every single moment of sexual tension and every inch of Regé-Jean Page's glorious body. The second season of the sultry Shondaland period piece was released over a year ago, and fans have been buzzing with excitement over the prequel Shonda Rhimes developed about the prominently featured Quee…

I am so glad I grew up offline. Don't get me wrong, I cherish and enjoy every single solitary second I spend on this sacred place we call “the internet.” However, I'm glad my uncensored access to the world wide web didn't begin until I was 12. I still grew up during the era when little kids didn't have phones, and we just watched the same episode of Hannah Montana over and over again to amuse ourselves. We were still flying our brains, but with Cartoon Network instead of TikTok. Kids no longer…

Very persuasive

Where does a meme end and a tweet begin? Can tweets be memes? Can a trend that originated on Twitter transcend to become something beyond what mere memes can encapsulate? These are questions that I simply can't and won't answer. Just because I'm here does not make me a confident meme expert. I am just a dum-dum whose brain is fueled by exorbitant amounts of Diet Mountain Dew at press time. The one thing I do know is that I am not going to quit Twitter . I've been on that godforsaken website sin…

Happy day!

It's coming

This fleeting existence has a tendency to feel a bit pointless. You know, "life's a b*tch and then you die" type vibes. It's really wild that everyting feels as though it's meant to be a struggle, living meager paycheck to meager paycheck, while some person who says "yes" or "no" or “more” lives lavishly and luxuriously thanks to our hard work. While we try not to think of the sad reality in our day-to-day lives, it has become increasingly hard to ignore. But when the going gets tough, and real…
