Vinyl records tried to be a relic of the past, but there are too many people out there who love them. Whether you collect them because you think the sound is “better” or you went through a hipster phase or you can’t bear to part with items handed down from generations before you, well, there’s...

Most of us probably don’t spend a whole lot of time thinking about the people who ring the bells and ask for spare change around the holidays. We also likely don’t give a second thought to the folks we call to haul away our unwanted clothes and other items after we’ve Marie Kondo-ed our lives....

I will fully admit to being pretty clueless when it comes to my car. I know how to check my oil, pump gas, change a tire, and replace my windshield wipers (and fluid), but I mean….that’s really about it. Even when I go to buy a new car I’m not picky; I just want something...

We’re all living in world gone mad, forced to hide in our homes from a deadly virus, only going out in a (sometimes futile) search for necessities. That sounds like a dystopian novel, doesn’t it? Here’s what the writers of those apocalypse movies and books never spend much time telling us, though – the world...

You might have heard in recent weeks that all of the hand sanitizer people have been hoarding isn’t actually as good as using just the plain ol’ soap and hot water you already have in your house…but do you know why? I sure didn’t, and I’ve gotta say, dry hands and all, I’m feeling a...

You never know where your Tumblr discussions are going to end up, no matter where they begin. Anyone could hop on and derail the entire thing. Make it better. Make it worse. Make it so bizarre that people can’t stop sharing and commenting… Seriously, anything can happen. Even if you just post a random musing...

These are hard times for a lot of people, and one of the things that’s making things rougher for so many is not being able to grab the cleaning and sanitizing products we need to keep our spaces and people safe. There are a lot of jerks out there hoarding more than they need, leaving...

I love that there are so many stories out there about how people are coming together during this time of global crisis. There’s a pandemic, people are scared, people are nervous, people are struggling to live in isolation – but for every so many people going out of their way to make the best out...

For many of us who live in states that are still not totally overrun with coronavirus cases, it can be difficult to find firsthand information about what coming down with the virus is like. We don’t know anyone who personally has it (thank goodness!) but sometimes a lack of details can be scarier than knowing...

It’s not that we’re laughing at the situation, y’all. We’re just saying that maybe laughing is the best way to get through the situation, that’s all. If you’re of the same mind, then you’re going to love these 16 jokes about the total sh*tshow of the world right now. 16. I’m pretty sure it’s cheating...

Laughter is the best medicine, after all. And since we don’t have any actual medicine for this virus (yet), we might as well deploy a little humor! Sure, it won’t cure COVID-19, but it might alleviate some of the stir-crazy symptoms of being stuck at home, don’t you think? If you agree, give these 14...

No, I don’t think this whole coronavirus quarantine global pandemic thing is funny…but I think aspects of our new realities are funny. Just sometimes. And besides, if we can’t laugh about all of ways our lives have changed for the not-better (except the fact that we’re all still alive, for now), how will we get...

There are some situations where Americans thrive – natural disasters, any kind of war, or rescuing our neighbors’ pets from the street, for example – but if the pandemic created by COVID-19 has taught us anything, it’s that we really need to work on our crisis response when it comes to disease. Because y’all. There...

Hey, I’m not going to lie. This is a scary time, for so many reasons – health, economic, the prospect of being locked up with your family for months on end – but listen…we, as Americans, seem confused about how to handle it. We’re panic buying random crap that’s going to go bad before we...

Okay, no, full disclosure: it’s not the ark that was used in the film. If you’re a memorabilia collector looking to add that one to your display room, you’re out of luck (unless you want to go full Mission: Impossible and break into the storage rooms at Skywalker Ranch). The ark that showed up on...
