Who doesn’t love to snort-laugh, y’all? These posts are way humorous, are likely to cause a snort-laugh, and are definitely not to be read while drinking milk! (Side note: My little brother once exploded milk across our family dinner table because we made him snort-laugh as he took a sip.) Don’t lie – you love...

When it comes to questions that have been asked since the beginning of time, there’s no argument that “what happens after we die” is one of the oldest and most often pondered. It affects 100% of humans, after all, and we all have a natural fear of the “end” of our lives, and our bodies,...

I mean, if you’re into that. Because I realize that some people sign onto Tumblr (and the internet in general) so they can mindlessly laugh at cats or escape their stupid job for a few precious minutes. We’re all in the mood to think sometimes, though, so if that’s you, well…you’ve come to the right...

Christmas might technically still be the favorite child when it comes to holidays, but there’s no denying that Halloween – smack dab in the middle of Pumpkin Spice Autumn – is giving it a run for its money. The scented candles, the colored leaves, the smell of logs smoking in fireplaces up and down the...

There’s a weird phenomenon that every woman in America has been involved with since our twelfth birthdays (or before or after or whatever) – the shameful monthly period. Never mind that this natural biological function is necessary for the survival of the human race (which people with penises ought to be SUPER INVESTED IN btw),...

For many, the romance of the lonesome cowboy, the skilled gunslinger, the train-robbing bandit, and the wagon trains to new places and adventure is undying. So much of our collective western past has been immortalized in song, book, or on the silver screen that it can be hard to separate fact from legend…and oftentimes, that’s...

The CIA, like other branches of law enforcement, uses dogs to perform essential, frontline duties – like sniffing out bombs in areas of potential threat (like in airports). They raise and train these dogs from puppies to be focused on their noble purpose of keeping humanity safe. But what if one of those dogs just...

Freedom of speech is one of the cornerstones on which the United States is built. And sure, things have been a bit wobbly lately, but even if it is a little cracked, we’ve still got it. Which is exactly what these sign-toting patriots proved when they took to the streets to oppose other people who...

There are a lot of everyday things about being a woman that men just do not understand. To be fair, it’s largely because they don’t deal with it, but also we hide from them how much work it takes to make ourselves look like human beings on a daily basis. Or maybe that’s just me,...

To say the world of dating has changed over the past few decades is an understatement of, well…decades. People swipe while they’re out on other dates, they have backup plans, and no one goes anywhere without people to get them out of crappy meetups. But this guy…this guy takes the cake. Not only was he...

Some guys think getting put in the Friend Zone is about the worst thing that can happen to a person. I would submit that if you think that, you’re not very good at putting yourself in the shoes of the opposite sex. Because dealing with a guy who thinks you owe him anything – friendship...

Ah, documentaries. The category during the Oscar ceremony where most people get up and pee. In truth, they always sound interesting to me, but with so many Spiderman remakes to see, who has the time? That was sort of tongue-in-cheek because dear heavens, no one has really seen all of the Spidermans, right? I guess...

PBS’s show Finding Your Roots had a pretty amazing surprise for its viewers during the season 4 premiere: Larry David and Bernie Sanders are actually related (not just for the sake of an SNL sketch). People started to notice a similarity between the two during last year’s presidential primary, which led to David parodying Sanders...

I think Tumblr Tales should be a thing. Maybe an NPR segment or, at the very least, one on the local morning news. (I don’t know about you, but the news guy in my market is goofy as shit and could totally pull it off). Until those ideas take off, though, you’ll just have to...

I was fortunate enough to visit New Zealand a couple of years ago. I loved it – it is one of only two countries I’ve visited where I could see myself living, if I ever decide to pull the expat trigger – and the South Island is one of the most stunning places I’ve ever...
