I keep looking over this eggplant emoji and trying to figure out why IG might ban it: Actually, I know why they banned it. Because: penis. A year or two ago, when I was just discovering the dark side of Insta’s hashtag function, I found amongst the plethora of pill pushers and Russian prostitutes (probably not there voluntarily) a litany of of lady clams and pork swords. People really wanted.. Read More
For whatever reason, I decided to give this Dove commercial a watch. It’s probably because I’ve written about their feel good “beauty” campaigns before. And though I can’t seem to locate any of those past articles on their other commercials, this same-vein spectacle was enough of a reminder that I didn’t really need to. Dove does this ish all the time. Just like Coca Cola attaching Christmas-y human connection messages.. Read More
Not sure if NDT actually was the one who started this meme I now see everywhere or not: But I do know that it’s true. ’cause it’s what I do too. And I also know that the internet sometimes comes up with a few good suggestions inadvertently as well – especially with dream-come-true tales like that CEO who cut his own income to match that of his employees at the..

God, help me, I tried to watch that Bruce Jenner/Diane Sawyer interview. If you’re a better human than I am and have somehow avoided cell phones, social media, and grocery market lines with their tabloids all but springing out at you jack-in-the-box style, and dunno WTF I’m talking about, then I applaud you. If not, then you already know I’m talking about the former fitness hero beloved and celebrated by.. Read More
Can anyone tell me why I’m just now discovering Zella Day? Oh, wait – you didn’t know who she was either? Until just now when I said her name? No worries, we’ll explore this gorgeous up and coming artist together. Because I literally just heard and saw her music video “Hypnotize” this morning. Technically, I think I heard it in a commercial or something before seeing the vid on Youtube.. Read More
Time to clear up the Sia thing. A few blogs ago, I thought mayhaps the talented Miss Sia had stolen that one song “Fire meet Gasoline” from Beyonce (“Halo”- the two sound alike, but at varying speeds). And, like many other people who haphazardly scrawl stuff out on the internet, I didn’t fact-check before posting. To be fair, I intentionally avoid doing too much “research” before I let the idea-bones.. Read More
Not a week after I write about my betrothed trail, do I get this big steaming pile of camel turd: That, ladies and gentlemen, is what they’re gonna do to my number one, wifey, go-to trail. A boardwalk. Right smack dab in the middle of my tranquility locale. My home away from home. Where my brain goes to rest theta style for a while, while my stems do all the.. Read More
Saw this li’l gem in my feed today: And I gotta admit – my first thought was, “Yeah, man! Next on deck’s so fuggin’ lucky they have no idea what they’re in for.” But then I got that twinge inside me that I always get when something sounds really good, but deep down I know it’s just because it coincides with what I want to believe about my narrow, spotless,..

“Free Range… Kids”? When I first read that headline, I thought maybe I was gonna see a good diet article on how my omnivore friends can eat a baby goat without the guilt. Alas, it was just another article on bad parents. Ones who let their kids run around town free “without the worry”. And by “without worry” they mean “without supervision”. I’m actually not sure where the “without the.. Read More
Do you think this is sexist? When this advertisement from protein world popped up on a subway wall, posing the inquiry “Are you beach body ready?” (next to a model I assume was so photoshopped that they finally gave up on the blur tool altogether and finally just rendered her in an Inkwell Instagram filter before plopping her against a lemon background), the butthurt was strong. Especially in the feminist.. Read More
