“America’s favorite press secretary (next to good ol’ Sean Spicy) has finally handed in her resignation and will be relinquishing her command. While most of Sanders’ job consists of lying and making up shit, Sanders certainly deserves a shout-out for being the third woman ever to fill the position. Good for you, Sarah! America will miss you as much as Mike Pence loves third trimester abortions.” [454 more words]
By the time I was 9 years old, I was no stranger to the Internet. Online gaming had been around for about 5 years already, but it was still a relatively new concept. Gaming companies like Sega and Nintendo likely fought fiercely to come out with a uniquely online multiplayer game, but the infrastructure just wasn’t there.
[339 words] Taking that first step of writing and fighting through the feelings of inadequacy, criticism, and failure is a tough pursuit. Even though this post is small, it gives me hope for the future. I’ve sat down in my chair and stared into my monitor’s soul. I start to think and my fingers respond by typing and this gives me courage.
“That said, FUCK ALABAMA. Fuck those inbred irredeemably racist semi-literate hog fuckers.
Fuck them. Fuck their abortion ban. Of all the fucking people that - at the least - need an incest exception in an anti-abortion law. Fuck them!”
Another week has gone by and more students have become statistics of gun violence in our K-12 school system. Kendrick Castillo died protecting his classmates and was deemed a hero.
“Yeah, the library looks nice, but the projects are on top”.

She also wants to implement tuition-free college through taxing the wealthiest households and corporations in America.”
“I spent two hours arguing with a father of an ER patient. The mother of the 13 year old brought her into the ER for throwing her own feces at her siblings. I thought to myself, well, this is gonna be an easy one. She’s getting committed, but things went south once her father arrived.” [405 more words]
We’ve all been there. Either it’s a job we dislike, a terrible boss, or simply too much work. Burnout is a major factor for the millennial generation and it’s making us miserable. There’s a severe lack of work-life balance and for those of us salaried employees, we’re often expected to answer calls, texts, and other problems, way outside of our working hours.
With the prevalence of smartphones and instant gratification, anxiety is becoming more and more common among millennial and future generations. Smartphones allow for us to look up nearly anything available to human knowledge in a few seconds. An unread text message, a ‘read’ text, but no response. These are causing us to develop new avoidance behaviors from ghosting, ignoring friends, and skipping out on social events. At this point, why even read the text if it’s going to cause you harm?
