Reset Your Life

  Open any feed and you’ll eventually hit one: a husband or boyfriend cracks a “relationship” joke on camera, the wife or girlfriend rolls her eyes, and—bam—she slaps, shoves, or whacks him with a prop. Cue laugh track, millions of views, and a comments section full of “If he said that to me I’d hit him harder.” It’s presented as harmless. It isn’t. Humour doesn’t neutralise harm—it can normalise it Social psychologists have studied “disparagement humour” (jokes that belittle or target a group or person) for decades. The consistent finding: joking about harmful behaviour doesn’t make it go away; it relaxes the social norms that usually keep it in check. Ford & Ferguson’s influential work shows that exposure to disparagement humour increases tolerance for discrimination among people already inclined to excuse it—because the “it’s just a joke” framing signals that the usual standards don’t apply.  When humour is paired with violence, similar patterning emerges.

Let’s start with a truth that many of us forget: Nobody knows how to live your life better than you do. Sure, people will have opinions. Oh, they’ll have plenty of them. From your job choices to your fashion sense, your parenting style, your relationship status, your tattoos, your lack of tattoos, your diet, your hobbies—even your social media presence. There’s always someone ready to tell you what they think you should be doing. But here’s the deal: you don’t owe anyone a version of yourself that makes them comfortable. When we start bending our choices around what others might think, we stop living our lives. We become actors in a play someone else is directing. That’s exhausting. And eventually, it’ll leave you feeling disconnected from your own identity—like you’re drifting in someone else’s version of “success.” Take a moment and think: how many things have you done—or not done—because you were worried about being judged? Did you skip that yoga class because you thought p...

  Let’s face it: humanity has been obsessed with nudity and sex since, well, forever. From the Venus of Willendorf to OnlyFans, we’ve been creating, consuming, and occasionally freaking out about the human body and what it can do. But despite our long-standing fascination, society has always had a bit of a love-hate relationship with nudity and sex. On one hand, we’re drawn to it like moths to a flame (or like teenagers to a poorly hidden browser history). On the other hand, we’ve spent centuries clutching our pearls and gasping, “Think of the children!” Well, folks, it’s 2023, and it’s time to drop the pearl-clutching and embrace the naked truth: old-fashioned ideals about nudity and sex are as outdated as dial-up internet. And while we’re at it, let’s give the adult entertainment industry the respect it deserves as a legitimate business. Yes, you read that right. It’s time to stop pretending that the industry is some seedy underworld and start acknowledging it for what it is: a m...

  Let’s get something straight right off the bat: You are not a bruised, overripe avocado sitting next to a picture-perfect Hass at the grocery store. Life isn’t a produce aisle, and yet, here we are, eyeballing everyone else’s seemingly perfect, glistening success and feeling like yesterday’s leftovers. It’s time to put an end to the madness—stop comparing yourself to others, and start embracing the wonderfully chaotic, sometimes-messy, and utterly unique masterpiece that is you . The Social Media Hall of Mirrors Social media is like one of those funhouse mirrors at the carnival—except it’s less “fun” and more “existential crisis.” Everyone is posting their highlight reels: tropical vacations, job promotions, flawless selfies (with just the right amount of Valencia filter), and artisanal avocado toasts that look like they belong in a museum. What you don’t see? The existential dread at 2 AM, the sink full of dishes, and the existential crisis over whether to text back “lol” or “ha...
