Ticket revenue is way up after the lull caused by the COVID-19 lockdowns. We may never want to take live events for granted again, and it seems like every major artist is touring now to make up for lost time, so we have plenty of opportunities to see our favorite acts, teams, or entertainers. With all this fun…

One of the worst ways to promote your work online is by exhibiting a god complex. Sure, it pays to celebrate what makes your work valuable. At the same time, you don’t want to annoy your potential (or existing) audience along the way. On the other end of the spectrum, some talented artists struggle with the inherent…

Have you ever gone to karaoke and watched enviously as others took the stage while you were too trapped by your own anxiety to give it a shot? Or, worse, have you actually conquered your fear of getting up there only to discover in real-time that you cannot sing a note, and you have the stage presence of soggy pasta?…

We’ve come to rely on reviews when researching what products to buy. After all, everything’s getting more expensive (or getting smaller), and you want to be sure the purchases you make are smart. Reviews offer you real-life experience from someone who bought the item you’re looking at, and help inform you whether or…

Q-tips are one of a very short list of products that are routinely bought for a purpose they are explicitly not to be used for (seriously—don’t clean your ears with them). But if you’re not supposed to use Q-tips to clean your ears, what’s the point of them? Well, they were initially marketed as a safe way to swab…

When the CDC was preparing to recommend the new bivalent COVID booster vaccines (speaking of which, most of us should make plans to get one), they also mentioned that more people should be aware of Evusheld, which can provide extra protection for immunocompromised people aged 12 and up.

It may be September, but that doesn’t mean it’s not still hot out there—you may have heard a heat wave is blanketing the western U.S. The ideal way to beat the heat is by sitting poolside with a something cold to drink. The pool may not be in the cards for you, so the least I can do is help you craft a late summer…

You might not have known that people with penises can get yeast infections, given that advertising for over-the-counter relief is widely geared toward those who do not. Prevention advice is usually aimed at vaginas, and yeast infection treatment is typically categorized as women’s health. In fairness, vaginas get the…

If it seems like you just updated Chrome, that’s because you did. Google refreshed its web browser to version 105 on Wednesday, introducing new features and security patches. However, only days later, Google has provided yet another update. The company doesn’t usually issue surprise updates without a good reason, and…

As every parent is acutely aware of, social media comes with a number of risks, many of which are new and unfamiliar to us. Although many parents are aware of cyber-bullying, and the self-esteem issues associated with social media, there is another phenomenon called digital self-harm, that has been increasing in…

Whether it’s a summer fling who’s turning needy, or a longterm partnership that has lost all its shine, autumn may feel like the perfect time to end your relationship and start anew. But when you grab your emotional-scissors and cut out your once-soulmate’s heart, at least try to do it with as much grace and maturity…

Babies are, undeniably, adorable. On the other hand, they can also be very boring—and you are in charge of virtually all of their entertainment. Fortunately, the world is brand new to them, so the “entertainment” possibilities are all around you. However, you are exhausted and want to create maximum joy with minimal…

For every person who loves the feel of carpet on their bare feet, there are others who regard carpet as the Worst Flooring and the First Thing We’re Ripping Out When We Move In. Hating carpet isn’t just aesthetic, either—carpet can be difficult to keep clean, and often is only superficially “clean” no matter what we…

Cilantro is one of the most divisive flavors in the culinary world. You’re either in the “it’s soapy” party or the “it’s absolute magic” party. (Or maybe we just like the taste of soap? Who’s to know.) One thing’s for sure—it’s a powerful herb. The stem and the leaves pack a strong herbal kick, but there’s a more…
