If you are reading this, it means that the sane people were correct. The eclipse came and went without the world ending. We still have electricity. Grocery stores are still open and well stocked. There wasn’t a Rapture. Martial law was not declared. The lizard people did not show their true form and put a New World Order in place. Of… Read more »
Today we’re going to talk about gatekeeping. We are staying clear of racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. That’s another topic for another day. I’m talking about the simpler, slightly less hateful kind of gatekeeping usually centered about pop culture opinions. The big one I’m seeing online right now is “Beyonce can’t / shouldn’t release a country album”. Really? Why not? Why… Read more »
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months you know that pop superstar Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelse, a professional football player with the Kansas City Chiefs. Everything Taylor does is scrutinized 27 ways til Sunday, so of course her dating life is no exception. And since we live in the pro-conspiracy theory age, it… Read more »
You can’t go a day on the Book of Faces without seeing someone posting that they have been hacked. It’s so common we don’t even get excited about it anymore. But these people are all wrong. No one is hacking your grandmother’s Facebook account. What IS happening is that people are opening themselves up to getting their accounts compromised by… Read more »
Maybe it’s me. Maybe I’m just a buzzkill. I recently had a birthday. I got grief for not making a big deal out of this. It wasn’t a big, round number- I turned 52. Not a big deal. I honestly forgot about it until the night before. No, I’m not trying to deny I’m getting older. It’s obvious when I… Read more »
Today is the day to embrace your dark side- it’s the Festival of Unmentionable Thoughts! Every single one of us has the occasional crazy dark thought. Wondering what would happen if you swerved into oncoming traffic. Wondering if you could fake your death and start all over with a new identity. Wondering what would happen if you rage quit your… Read more »
We are in the midst of football season, which is the only sport I really follow. As a Dolphins fan I’ve seen a lot of bad seasons- including going 1 and 15 in 2007. Only true fans stuck with them through that. Or so I thought. For those of you who don’t follow football, the Dolphins are having their… Read more »
Some people idolize rock stars. Some people idolize athletes. Some people idolize Donald Trump. And some people idolize Elon Musk. I’ve already written plenty- and probably will write more again down the road- on what a piece of shit Donald Trump is. But today we’re taking a deeper look at Elon Musk, the sometimes richest man on Earth who has… Read more »
Here is a day that I don’t think should even exist. It’s National Kale Day. I think most of us can agree that kale has worked its way into places it never needed to go. Like in our mouths. Fun fact- until recent years, the largest purchaser of kale were buffet restaurants who used them to decorate – not… Read more »
Class reunions. Some people love them. Some people hate them. Last weekend was my husband’s 40th class reunion. I had a good time and learned a few new things about Pat! One big conversation topic of the night was the low turnout, and that attendance has been steadily declining over the past few reunions. No one really had a good… Read more »
