I’m not sure what the artists of old would have thought about social media – if they’re anything like the current artists I know, they would definitely have a love/hate relationship with it. They might love the idea that their art is living for millions of people because of the internet, though – because these...

Family relationships should be the most secure and loving ones afforded to us in this life, but the truth is, they’re often as complicated as any other – more so, given the ties that bind and all of that. When this girl was 13, her mother left her abusive father and they went to stay...

Co-working relationships can be rife with drama, and often made awkward by the fact that, even though we depend on these people on a daily basis, we’re not actually friends. The question of what we owe them, then, can be a complicated one. That’s a lesson this woman found out the hard way when a...

A good portion of the population struggles with mental health issues, and almost everyone will experience a rough period or a situational depression more than once in their lives. When we’re feeling down, we need people to reach out to us, and when others are feeling at the end of their rope, we want to...

If you think about it, the fact that we have to not only explain our absences from work but sometimes, they don’t believe us and so we have to get a real adult to sign a note for us to skip. Why do employers require a doctors note? byu/TwisTED_Ech0 inNoStupidQuestions I mean. What’s that all...

Parenting is one of those areas of life where most of us try to keep our opinions to ourselves (and everyone should do more of that, to be honest). Unless actual abuse is taking place, we tend to feel like what goes on in someone’s family home is their business and no one else’s. This...

You’ve probably noticed that more and more people living in suburban and urban areas are buying and keeping chickens. They do it for the eggs, ostensibly, but also, they seem to regard their birds as family pets. And while I’ve seen my fair share of videos with seemingly docile chickens who love being cuddled, my...

Weddings are supposed to be these beautiful, slightly somber events in which two people in love tie their futures and fortunes together forever and ever amen. We all know that things can get wild when you put friends, family, alcohol, and a bunch of money in one place, pretty much anything can happen at the...

Lately, it seems as if we can all use all the reminders we can get that people and the world aren’t best if dumped straight into the trash bin, you know? Life can be rough and tumble, and while sometimes we want dark humor and sarcasm to deal with it, other times our hearts want...

If you’re feeling a little down or a little weary from the world, there are a few things you could do – spend time with friends, order a pizza, go for a walk, have a drink… All of those options take time, though, and maybe some planning, too. For a quicker fix, we’re offering up...

It’s easy to miss good content online. There’s so much stuff, all the time, and way too many funny, insightful, and witty people out there to possibly keep track of them all on your own. That’s why you have us, though – and we won’t let you down. These 12 posts are recent darlings of...

It’s crazy how much our perspectives can change within a few years, and I’m not sure if there’s a decade in your life when more growth happens than in your 20s. You go from basically a teenager, to a person responsible for their own adult things, to a person who is like, thirty and expected...

All of the sleep experts ever say that having the television on while you’re trying to wind down or actively go to sleep is the opposite of helpful. So, if you have trouble falling asleep, you might have been told to pick up a book instead. Now, aside from the moment when you’ve gotten so...

There’s a saying that blood is thicker than water, and while that might be true, money has a way of somehow cutting straight through it. When one person in a family has or comes into money, there can be an expectation that they will share it freely, but is that always the best way to...

Families are complicated, there’s no doubt about it. Most of the time parents try to do right by their kids, and when they know from firsthand experience what a mistake could cost them, it typically makes them more empathetic than ever. When this man’s daughter got pregnant at 18 but couldn’t see herself being any...
