I Believe That Children Are Our Future
Hooray for Jennifer Lawrence! She’s sincerely and thoughtfully answering questions about role models for young women and body image on her PR tour for the new Hunger Games movie. Boo for Toys R Us! Their newest ad feeds into that stupid “science is boring and normal kids hate it” stereotype. This ad is practically an […]

Stupid, Stupid Baby: Funny, Kind-of-Hot Dad
So in this video you’ll hear the tail-end of what the mom says was an epic, hour-long, scream-at-the-top-of-her-lungs temper tantrum thrown by a six-year-old.

There’s No Reason for This to Exist. On This Earth.
Someone pretty closely affiliated with Portland State seems interested in my work! Or at least a couple of the stories I wrote this summer! And also in finding old pictures of me! This is what I look like now, by the way. Except I’ve shaved. That’s okay. Because it’s still the best DMV picture I’ve […]

Who’s Worse: Toddlers or House Republicans?
You ask a toddler to eat peas and carrots. The toddler agrees to eat peas, but not carrots. Both sides are happy with this compromise—until the toddler suddenly changes her mind, deciding she will neither eat peas or carrots. And in addition? She decides to burn down the house that contains the peas. Does this […]

Some Assholes Always Have to Go and Ruin It for Everybody Else
The AP wants you to know that your special delicate snowflake butthole is causing a problem: BEMUS POINT, New York (AP) — Increasingly popular bathroom wipes – pre-moistened towelettes that are often advertised as flushable – are being blamed for creating clogs and backups in sewer systems around the U.S. Wastewater authorities say wipes may […]

“I’m Gen Y, and I Don’t Feel Special or Entitled, Just Poor.”
In smacking down a mocking Gen Y meme today, Adam Weinstein pretty eloquently sums up what it’s like to be a) a Gen Y-er struggling to pay for basic living expenses on stagnant wages, and b) a struggling modern-day journalist (otherwise known as a successful modern-day journalist). His message is depressing and if you’re young, […]
