It’s that time of year again when we all really start to appreciate plants – the lush green grass, the pretty flowers that promise spring, the scent of lilacs blowing on the breeze… Of course, other people enjoy and even manage not to kill their plants indoors all year round. Imagine that! Here are 16...

There are good bosses out there, and they deserve to be celebrated – managing people is a hard job, and working for someone who does it well is a blessing that many people will never know. Sadly, there are plenty of really crappy bosses out there. People who revel in lording their power over others,...

It’s funny, isn’t it, how certain things become part of popular culture, are handed down and passed around like when kids play a game of telephone – the original message is garbled, or changed, and probably doesn’t sound much like the original, but we all believe it’s true. The internet has definitely amplified this effect,...

There are people who like trees and people who love trees (and I guess people who don’t like or have no feelings for trees, but we aren’t going go talk about those weirdos today). Trees are awesome. They’re sturdy, they’re beautiful, they can keep secrets…what’s not to like? These 9 pictures are of trees surviving...

Mental health care is an ever-evolving set of protocols, treatments, and medication, and every step we take forward is one more person who feels like they’re important enough to remain here with their family and friends. Depression treatment has become much more effective and much more targeted the more and more we’re able to learn...

There are certainly aspects of the human body that are embarrassing to talk about, even with a medical professional, but listen. Take it from me, a woman, who is forced to lay back and take it in one way or another at least a couple of times a year – some things are worth the...

There are comics that are drawn for every sort of niche person and experience you can think of – and then there are some artists that just draw an average life. The messes, the joys, the lows, the highs, all of it. Sabincomics are exactly that, with frames and tiny stories that are relatable experiences...

Here’s the thing about Disney and Disney fans – they spend almost as much time thinking about and dissecting Disney as they do loving it. There’s so much to consider, so many layers to what might seem, at first, to be simple, and yeah, so many people to discuss with on the internet. We talked about the first 9 of Justin...

Sure, it doesn’t have the alliteration that Taco Tuesday has going for it, but if we’re being honest, any day that celebrates tacos is a happy day for everyone, no? In Sweden, Fridays are Fredagsmys – “cozy Fridays.” They gather with loved ones and eat comfort food together to mark the end of the long week, and...

Are you a person who returns their cart to the rack after you load your groceries or other items into your car, or are you someone who just leaves it wherever in the lot so the next person that pulls into a spot gets to play dodge the cart? Because that’s a super fun game....

Disney is one of those things, like Harry Potter or Star Warns (the original, I suppose), that most people love once they’ve been introduced to it. It’s wholesome, it’s classic, it reminds us of childhood in the best way possible…it really is, in its purest form, magic. So magical, in fact, that we forgive them for things like blatant...

Anyone who has spent any amount of time in a customer service job has dealt with our fair share of crazy people, annoying people, demanding people, demeaning people, you name it. Which just means that you have to be super insane to be the one case that comes to mind when someone asks you to...

We all want to believe that we’re unique and special snowflakes. And, let’s face it, as human beings, we kind of are. There’s nobody like us. At least specifically. But what unites us, what makes life worth living… it’s not the stuff that makes us different. It’s the stuff we can all relate to. Those...

Art in general, and comic strips specifically, are at their very best when they’re putting life – or some subset of it – under a microscope. Artists see our world through a specific, beautiful lens, and the artist behind Sabencomics is no different. Her drawings are about life, and the experiences that connect us all...

Riddles are a fun way to keep your mind sharp and to have a little fun in the process – something that is definitely cool to pass down to our kiddos! Trust me, as the years wear on, anything that you two enjoy doing together is going to be dear to your heart. If you...
