Eating Cake in the Mammy-Shaped Restaurant Wasn’t on my Summer Bucket List (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I found myself inside of a Gone With the Wind black mammy figure in the absolute middle of nowhere Mississippi this early summer. I didn’t know what I expected this restaurant to smell like upon entering the women’s skirt into the low-ceiling building–the mildew smell made me want to vomit, but I still ate my milehigh meringue pie and hummingbird cake. I wondered if it was the universe’s way of punishing me for being curious (possibly pushing edgy-boundaries) about such a strange place.<a class=
You Are Paying So Much Money for Your Faceless Servant (and it’s making you look like an idiot) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Being a parent is like being in high school again, especially if you’re in a city where you don’t know many people and have no connection to. I spent a minor holiday earlier this year with a group of parents. I didn’t talk very much because I knew that whatever came out of my mouth would not be met with a collective smile.

Read excerpt
An influencer that I’ve been following for over a decade now jiggles her breasts up and down in every video. She pretends to kiss her best friend who’s a girl like they are romantically involved, she wears very low-cut milkmaid dresses, and she pretends the zippers don’t work when she tries to close a corset style floral dress because her boobs are too big. She has become softcore porn, an lolcow to be generous, a free porn site to not be. She used to post things I loved: she talked about fashio
Shut Up Barbie and Pitch the Tent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m at the certain age where people start to think that they have more money than they really do. This will not shock you, but we’ve been sold a lie: that when we hit a certain age, we will have all of these luxuries that the baby boomers OR even get xers had. We will not. I’ve accepted that. Some of my peers haven’t, so they either go into massive credit card debt, or work a job that they fucking hate (like… because it’s lowkey evil probably) in order to afford this lifestyle that they think th
