I’ve only recently found out that the heavens make noise, if you have the right equipment to pick it up (and that Saturn apparently screams like the punk rock b*tch she is), so hearing that the stars sort of sing isn’t a surprise, exactly. That said, after the whole Saturn thing, I was a bit...

Weighted blankets have become all the rage lately, with people from two to eighty two claiming the extra wait helps calm their anxiety and stress when it gets to be too much to manage. We even use them on our dogs on days like the 4th of July! The question is, how sturdy is the...

Remember those Choose Your Own Adventure books? They inspired a generation of readers to not only pick up more books, but to be actively engaged in storytelling, writing their own endings, and the like. If you’re a person of a certain age, there’s almost no chance these weren’t a beloved part of your childhood. And...

My husband is a mushroom lover. As in, he enjoys foraging for them, studying them to make sure he’s not grabbing poison ones, and eating them when they’re safe. I love mushrooms, too, but just the eating part. If you’re someone who is intrigued by fungi of all kinds, you would totally be sympatico with...

A proposal is supposed to be an intimate, personal moment between two lovers. It’s about their future together and it’s not really about anyone else, but in recent years, the grand gesture has eclipsed the quiet one asking for somebody’s hand in marriage. This woman decided to ask her girlfriend to spend the rest of...

Listen, I know it’s not funny that the current state of the world is forcing companies to declare bankruptcy, and that our kids might grow up without all of the wonders of the world that we did, blah blah blah, but that doesn’t mean humor isn’t still one of the best ways to cope. A...

My grandfather said two things about life and the clock: you can get twice as much done before noon as after, and nothing good ever happens past ten p.m. The older I get, the more certain I am that he was right – and these 17 people, who have had some pretty creepy experiences, might...

You honestly never know how your life is going to turn out. Whether your decision to go out with friends on a Friday night will be something you forget or something that alters the course of your life, for better or for worse. If you want to believe in fate, or something like it, these...

If you don’t believe one moment, one choice, one chance encounter, or one mistake could change your life forever, you’re going to think twice after listening to these 14 people tell their stories. Personally, I love stories about how one random flap of a butterfly’s wings change the direction of someone’s life across the globe,...

Look, we all have those days when we just don’t want to be an adult, right? We eschew all responsibilities in favor of Netflix, a good book, takeout, and pure laziness. We put off grown-up phone calls and the rest of it for a few hours or even and entire day, but we know how...

Most of us will never (thank goodness!) know what it’s like to be a coma for any amount of time, but the experience is something many people are curious about – as the mom of two littles, I just want to know what it feels like to sleep for more than six hours in a...

Experiencing a coma is one of those things that seems pretty impossible to truly understand unless you’ve been there – and most of us don’t want to do it just to know what it’s like. If you’re curious, though (or maybe writing a book), these 15 people have spent time in a coma, and they’re...

People all over the world are now wearing face masks when they’re around people in public, whether voluntarily or because they’re required. Most of us have never worn them before, and we’re understandably a little confused on what we should be buying and why. If that describes you, this doctor has the answers – and...

It can be pretty hard to escape the tough, depressing, content that’s all over the internet these days. That’s just how the world can feel, but the truth is, there’s always sweet, wholesome content out there if you know where to look. And while it’s important to keep abreast of the happenings and stay engaged...

When something like a tweet strikes you as funny, you don’t always know why. But listen – you shouldn’t question things like that. Your brain and your soul knows it’s hilarious, so just giggle madly and move on with your life. But also, if it’s something that keeps making you laugh, no matter how many times you...
