Stay in Your Magic, Keep in Your Power an Excerpt from “Happy Witch” by Mandi Em
Magic can help you feel powerful, but there can be a big difference between the way you feel post-ritual and the way you feel as you’re going through your mundane life. The feeling of connectedness and otherworldly magic can get lost in the shuffle sometimes when the day-to-day chaos starts piling up, leaving you feeling zapped and depleted. No more! Cultivating a magical life can be the antidote to feeling pressed by the mundane and disconnected from your power.

Bullying of OnlyFans Mom Shows We Have a Long Way to Go
By now you may have heard the story of Crystal Jackson, a mother of 3 in Sacramento California who’s kids were expelled from their Catholic school (Sacred Heart Parish) due to her OnlyFans page being outed. There’s a lot to unpack here, but the viral nature of this story really shows that we have a long way to go when it comes to how accepting we are of a woman’s sexuality, particularly when those women are mothers.
105-Year-Old Survives Covid-19 with the Aid of Gin-Soaked Raisins
You’ve probably heard the term “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”, but that sounds like boring nonsense for boring bitches, amirite? When it comes to health, there are far more intriguing things that people swear by, for example, take the tale of Lucia DeClerck and her gin-soaked raisins. The New York Times reported a story about DeClerck, a 105 year-old woman from New Jersey who discovered she contracted Covid-19 on her 105th birthday.

Is it safe for pregnant women to have a COVID-19 vaccine?
Last week, my sister who is an NHS dentist, told me she was going to get her first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. While we spoke on the phone, she said she was a little apprehensive about getting it. When I asked her why she said two of the dental nurses at her surgery were not getting theirs as they both saw messages on WhatsApp that said the vaccine would make them infertile.
10 Funny Tweets About The Disney Princess We NEED
If you grew up in the golden era of the Disney princess, you’re likely familiar with the wide-eyed, love-seeking naivete that fucked our childish brains into thinking all sorts of batshit toxic bullshit about love and life. Sure, Disney has gotten their female characters a little more locked-in as the years went on, leading us to cool independent Disney princesses that didn’t necessarily need a man, such as Moana and the gals in the Frozen films.
15 Hilarious Tweets from Parents in January 2021
We did it folks, we got through January! And what a month it was. After the craptastic shitfest that was 2020, we had high hopes for 2021. And it definitely delivered… something.
10 Hilarious Tweets Wondering Where TF Barron Trump Was on Moving Day
Today, many in the United States breathed a sigh of relief as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were sworn in as the next President and Vice President of the U.S. This moment, coming off the last 4 years of absolute unadulterated fuckery, was a welcome gift of hope and optimism. Adding to the warm fuzzy feelings of this time was the exit of 45 and his family, something that many folks were actively trying to manifest for the past 4 years or so.
12 Hilarious Tweets About the Keto Diet
January is the time of year where we traditionally tend to revisit our wellness goals. This is when gyms are packed, diets are starting, and if you listen verrrrrry carefully you can hear the sound of a rumbling stomach out there lamenting to the tune of “Fat Bottomed Girls” by Queen. So majestic. But despite the number of new diets that pop up every year, some of them have real staying power. A great example of this is the Keto diet.
18 Hilarious Memes About How 2021 Is Going So Far
A vital part of humanity is hope. Hope for the future and hope for mankind. Which is why we got a little (understandably) excited about the dawning of a new year. Perhaps as a chance to let go of the chaos of 2020 and nurture that hope for potentially better days ahead? It’s almost as if we forgot that we just can’t have nice things.
11 Hilarious Tweets About Un-Decorating After the Holidays
Needless to say, this year was weird. Which meant that the holidays were just as unusual. We’re talking lockdowns, New Year’s in our pajamas, and a lot of crossed fingers that 2021 won’t be such an absolute trashferno. However, although current circumstances are somewhat rife with fuckery, the world continues to spin and some things remain the same. Case in point – holiday decorating.
Who will care for the carers?
It is midday, and the sun beats onto my bare arms in a large parking lot full of cars. As far as the eye can see there are old cars, new cars, buses and trucks. It smells of rust and saltwater and my heart pounds as I dart my head around looking for a place to hide. Across the lot, I hear a familiar voice. As my pursuer moves closer, my eyes fall on a rusty RV with mustard yellow curtains and oil stains painting slick rainbows on the sun-baked concrete.
2020 - A Year in Tweets
2020. The mere number itself is now enough to strike fear into the hearts of anyone who’s been paying attention for the last 12 months. And who’s to argue? This year saw a global pandemic, a radical shift in the way we live and socialize, and an opportunity for us all to experience the worst sort of unsettling limbo. Add to it a nail-biter election, news of aliens, and all sort of other what-the-fuckery, and you’ve got a year we’ll be talking about for ages to come.
12 More Hilarious Tweets About the “Magic” of Holiday Decorating
December is a time for Christmas magic, and what could be more magical than squeezing your blood, sweat, and tears into creating a picture-perfect winter wonderland that your kids can demolish with their screamy, flailing bullshit. It’s a festive fucking funfest, amirite? For many of us, the desire to skip the madness altogether ultimately loses the tug of war against the desire to make the holidays something really special for our kids.
12 Hilarious Tweets About Being a True Crime Buff
If there’s anything that can help take the sting off this dumpster fire year that keeps on sucking, it’s the soothing dulcet tones of a serious narrator slowly describing a horrific murder. True crime documentaries and podcasts have exploded in popularity, as our macabre interests continue to provide a distraction from the day-to-day doldrums.

7 Tips For Getting Into A More Productive Virtual School Routine

How plants bring joy and control to our brains during chaos
As modern accessories go, houseplants are not only beloved because of the way they can spruce up a room but also for the way they benefit our mental health. They can brighten our spaces, freshen the air and provide a mirror into how we’re doing on the inside. In fact, they’re a great reminder of when, and how, to take care of ourselves. When the daily grind has us often feeling cut off from the natural world, houseplants can help fill the void.
Witchcraft Helps Me Cope With Anxiety — & It's Cheaper Than Therapy
Trying to ride the wave of functional adulthood is a struggle. Between working, mom-ing, and trying to stay sane, it’s easy to lose yourself and get caught up in a seemingly never-ending grind of just white-knuckling it through each day. As a person who’s suffered from anxiety and depression, I’ve searched for many different ways of trying to find peace, yet remained ultimately unsuccessful until I delved deep into witchcraft.
Can Precum Get You Pregnant?
Created for Greatist by the experts at Healthline. Read more One thing led to another during Netflix and chill, and you found yourself in the position (or many positions) of dodging pregnancy. Although most of us know the — ahem — ins and outs of what it takes to make a baby, curiosity (and obsessive period trackers) want to know: Can you get pregnant from precum? Well, yes, it is possible. Precum — the clear fluid the penis secretes well before an orgasm — can cause an unexpected pregnancy.
