If you’re like me, you get a bit of a pit in your stomach when you see a message come through from someone you don’t regularly interact with on Twitter (or any platform, really. They’re almost never great, but most are easily ignored with a simple eyeroll and hitting the block button. Some, though, like...

You never really know what to expect when you get a private message on Twitter from someone you don’t interact with on a regular basis, but chances are, it’s going to be some level of insulting or inappropriate. There’s a sliding scale, of course, and things can be funny and insulting and inappropriate – or in the...

I know the adage is “don’t read the comments,” and most of the time, I feel like this is the best course of action if you want to continue to have faith in humanity. That said, sometimes they’re not awful and worthy of being set on fire. Sometimes, in fact, they’re far better and more...

“Don’t read the comments” is a great rule. Most of the time they are a trash fire that will make you want to give up on people as a whole. Sometimes, though, they’re honestly better and more clever than the original post – or they’re something you wish you would have thought to say yourself....

If you’ve spent any amount of time on places like Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Craigslist, or really anywhere people basically use the internet as a virtual garage sale, there’s no doubt that you’ve probably seen some weird stuff. I mean, I know what’s in my basement, so it seems to follow that everyone’s got a bunch...

People will try to sell literally anything online – a fact that you know is true if you’ve spent any time at all on Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, et al. The thing is, people must also be buying some of this weird stuff, because otherwise, wouldn’t people stop trying? I don’t know the answer to that for sure,...

I grew up a reader, and with all of the extra time I’ve had on my hands (hahahaha sob) lately, I’ve been able to read more often and really check some titles off my list. As a reader, I loved all 12 of these memes – and I just know you’re going to, also. 12....

I love books and reading – even most of the classics I was forced to read as a kid have become dear to me later in life. I read all of the time, and if I’m not, I’m wishing I had a new world to dive into. Which is all to say that these 10...

“Beggars can’t be choosers!” You’ve surely heard this expression, which is usually, for some reason, said in a super chipper voice. Like, I’m going to give this to you for FREE so like, DON’T B*TCH about it! Some people, of course, refuse to learn and abide by society’s rules, even after they get effectively and...

Most of the time when people write films, they want you to identify with, sympathize with, and root for the hero or heroine of the story. Occasionally the villain of the tale is also the protagonist, but that’s more rare. What can happen, though, is that villains can be so well-written, or so complex, that...

There are some experiences only some people will have because of privilege (or lack thereof) or culture, and there are some experiences only some people will have because of their life choices. There are some things that human beings experience, though, that are 100% universal (or like 99.99%, if you want to be technically accurate,...

Okay, so maybe most of these tweaks aren’t exactly small, but some of them are doable! These 11 memes are pictures of how much society could be advanced if we focused our efforts on one small thing – and I’ve gotta say, I think our lives would be much improved! 11. The same goes for...

It’s fun (and sometimes depressing) to imagine what the world would be like if we could tweak one all-important aspect of it. Whether something in the past (like, say, eliminating slavery in the Constitution) or something today (outlawing plastics), imagining a better place to call home can be an enlightening exercise. If that’s something you’re...

When you hear someone say “I can’t wait to walk down the aisle!” your mind probably immediately goes to a wedding, right? Twitter user @chloejayne_xxx‘s mom thought the same thing – even though Chloe meant that, with the way the world is today, she can’t wait to walk down the aisle of an airplane again....

One of my personal favorite things about internet memes is that literally no one knows when or where or how or who when it comes to who started them. They just sort of…happen. They’re born in the moment, out of happenstance, and maybe that’s what makes them so fun. The “I can’t wait to walk...
