Wildest Posts From the Depths of Facebook (April 30, 2023)

Wildest Posts From the Depths of Facebook (April 23, 2023)

On a personal level, I try to be a Facebook avoider. My newsfeed isn’t usually that unhinged, but there isn’t all that much on there that’s for me. Compared to some people, though, I get off pretty lightly with my occasional engagement announcement, and boomer acquaintances posting their nice meal out. There is some truly …

The Most Cringeworthy Dating App Encounters This Week (April 19, 2023)

To be completely honest, I don’t think dating was that much better in the good old days without apps. The average singleton still had to face their fair share of douchebags, especially if they were a woman. Sure, there were the ‘lucky’ ones who shacked up with their college sweetheart or cute co-worker, but how …

The Most Agonizing Instances of Cringe This Week (April 15, 2023)

Cringe is one of the most human emotions there is. With all of our complicated social rules and hierarchies, it’s inevitable that we are going to have a visceral reaction to other people (or ourselves) doing it wrong.

The Cringiest Parenting Posts of the Week (April 10, 2023)

There is an epidemic sweeping our nation right now. It’s hard for me to articulate this without getting emotional, but the store Target is selling shirts for toddlers with rainbows on them.
