Introducing ‘Trick-or-Reading,’ the Halloween Tradition That Swaps Candy for Books (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Who said trick-or-treating must be limited to candy? As someone with a sweet tooth, I loved filling my pillowcase with Sour Patch Kids, gummy bears, and Reese’s every Halloween growing up. But if I had known trick-or-reading was a thing, I would’ve loved spooky season even more than I already did as a kid. As an adult, sign me up.

The Real Reason ‘Ghosting’ Might Finally Be Dying, According to a Relationship Expert (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You’ve heard of the diabolical dating trend called “ghosting,” but what about the counteractive, compassionate trend called “bless and release”? Let’s explore this faith-restoring breakup tactic, shall we?

For example, you might stand barefoot in soil, on grass, or on a sandy beach to absorb its electrical charge and practice mindfulness. But don’t worry if you can’t head outdoors before bed each night: according to many wellness fanatics on social media, you don’t need to engage in actual “earthing” to regulate your nervous syste
Introducing ‘Grandmaslop,’ the AI Family Photo Trend That’s Freaking Out the Internet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You’ve likely witnessed it: a clueless grandma using AI to create altered images of her family and sharing them online for all of the world to see. While it might seem like a harmless trend (called grandmaslop), it can get real sinister real quick… Simply put, grandmaslop refers to AI-generated images of grandmas’ family members, often made without consent. In fact, they might even choose to share said pictures with their Facebook friends or group chats while unknowingly exploiting their family,
