Let's be honest: millions and millions of memes are circulating the worldwide web at any given time. People are making them, sharing them, and resharing them at record-breaking rates. The unfortunate truth about this proliferation of memes is that most of them are not very good. It's not their fault! I am not here to meme-shame anyone, but rather tell you the truth, and the truthful state of the majority of memes is not good. The quality of the average meme is close to the quality of the averag…

Anyone who's been on TikTok in the past four years knows that it's a deep dark place. I joined the app in the fall of 2019 and could feel it affecting my brain chemistry at an astronomical rate. It felt like one of the few uncensored social media sites back then. What rattled me the most was how cruel and insane TikTok comments were. People, primarily kids, were saying horrible things to people on an unprecedented scale. Since then, TikTok has only grown bigger. The worst and best part about Ti…

Happy Wedding Season? I don't think it's really wedding season, but it's wedding season for me because I'm about to go to the very first wedding of someone my own age. I thought I might be freaked out that one of my high school friends is about to get hitched, but I'm doing nothing of the kind. If I were a Christian 22-year-old who had been with my boyfriend for 6 years, there's no way I wouldn't be lining up at the altar at press time. The worst things about weddings (according to my friend wh…

I am a Southerner, but I'm kind of not a Southerner. If you ask a Northerner, they'd probably say I'm a Southerner because I'm from Texas. However, ask a Southerner or a Texan, and they'll probably be singing a different tune. Even though I'm technically not a Southerner, growing up in Texas gave me many quintessential Southern experiences . If anyone tells me that they think 90-degree weather is hot, it takes a lot for me to keep my mouth shut. I am also a fierce lover of chicken fried steak.…

Woof

People on LinkedIn are famously insufferable. Wannabe career influencers and dubious entrepreneurs love posting cringe to the site, and while we scoff at it, sometimes it's hard to look away. The tired soliloquies that glorify the grind, the heinous harping about how if you just hustle now you'll enjoy life later. There's no better place to watch a person publicly lick the system's proverbial boot. While the pro-work nonsense does get tedious, every now and then there's a LinkedIn post that add…

Teachers are some of the most harshly criticized groups of working professionals out there. Everyone has their own idea about how teachers should do their job, and few of them could do even half of what teachers do daily. So many parents expect teachers to be able to fix everything that's wrong with their bad kids and try to place the blame anywhere but on themselves. All of this criticism can get exhausting. At most jobs, employees only have a couple of supervisors, but teachers have administr…

My goodness. It really has been a year or two. Honestly, maybe it's more like three. Whatever the case, time is moving quickly, and not in a fun speedy way but in a frantic upsetting way. Maybe it's because as we get older, time starts to feel as though it's moving faster. But, ya know, it could also just be our old friend “crippling depression ” that makes a thick fog of the days, weeks, months and years. While some people are snapping back into place after the pandemic, I still can't help but…

Across the board

Bzzzzzz.

Adulting isn't as fun as we thought it would be.

Firing an employee right after they hand in their two weeks notice is probably the least professional thing a boss can do in that situation, and that's exactly what happened to redditor u/Brilliant-Parking359, whose boss ended up screwing himself over by firing his employee right after they quit. u/Brilliant-Parking359 still had the company truck in their possession, and bossman expected OP to drive three hours to deliver the truck even after he'd told OP to ‘f*** off.’ Needless to say, OP did…

Oddly satisfying

I don't believe in the divine rights of kings, but I do believe in the divine rights of memes.

Welcome to the good old kingdom of classical art memes.
