Somewhere in Florida, a woman was heading home from a Halloween party at 4 a.m. dressed as a banana when she witnessed a car crash. Naturally, she did the responsible thing and called the police. And just like that, she became an internet sensation. A banana hero, if […]
Have you ever had a sloth in your life? Not the actual animal (although, honestly, look at those faces), but a person who moves through life at a pace that suggests they have absolutely nowhere to be until approximately 2047? Sloths are adorable. Those little faces! Those long […]
What’s something you’ve done that your past self would be proud of? Sometimes I wonder what my younger self would think if she could see me now. I think she’d be a little stunned. Maybe ask where the hell we got the money for all this. (Poverty has […]
