It’s important to have a squad, you know? Even if they’re weird, even if they don’t exactly all match up, even if you’re not sure how you acquired them all – as long as they have your back when the sh*t goes down. And this trainer, who was cheated on and then denied access to her things, found out that she had just...
If there is one thing that is universally true, it’s that people love the cr*p out of Jeff Goldblum. No one knows exactly why or how it happened – it seems to have something to do with his performance in Jurassic Park – but there seems to be no real way to dislike the guy. If another thing is true, it’s that people love...
The internet is leaning into a new meme born from the cesspool of pick-up artist culture and boy is it hilariously horrible. The terminology is a little fraught as “Lean In” is generally shorthand for “Lean In Feminism,” which refers to a 2013 book about women in business, whereas “Don’t Lean In” now...
There’s a lot of discussion about supporting local businesses lately, which is important. But what about the instances where a local business supports you in return? Not just in providing their service for a good price, but in going the extra mile? That’s the kind of non-fiction story that author Maureen Johnson was able to share on...
More and more people are trying out virtual dates this year, which can be pretty tricky to navigate. We can get used to virtual meetings, or classes, or even casual hangouts with friends, but a date is something generally more intimidating than any of those, even under normal circumstances. A virtual date strips away a lot of the things we tend to...
Raise your hand if you think dating is fun. I can’t actually see any of you, of course, but I’m going to go ahead and assume there no hands in the air right now. Dating is generally thought of a necessary evil, the sort of thing you hope turns out well but might be awful. The only upside to the awful is that it can result in a lot of...
It’s weird. Even though the fashion industry is worth over a trillion dollars per year, if we all had our way, we’d probably just wear sweat pants and snuggies all the time. A lot of us have certainly learned that about ourselves, and many have taken to Twitter to express this inconvenient truth in hilarious ways. Here are 13 examples...
Running a business or an organization can be really tough. There’s a million decisions to make and you can never be sure any of them will turn out to be the best. But in all the confusion, there are a few basic guiding principles that can help. For instance, maintain clear and consistent communication. We can all think of a time in our lives...
Grouch Marx once said, “Time flies like an arrow, but fruit flies like a banana.” If you don’t get it at first go back and read it a few more times. It’s a delightfully confusing quote about time that keeps rolling through my head in an era when nobody, including me, seems to have any idea where we are chronologically,...
Look, we all love our pets. But most of that love is directed at the bigger, fuzzier kind of companion that will show us affection, or in the case of cats, tolerance.
