  • I, Whiskey, Do Not Condone Being Used as an Anesthetic

    When people talk about having a drink to “ease the pain,” they don’t mean it in a literal sense for medical purposes. The best case scenario is that the pain becomes too much for your physical body and then your brain, trying to shield you from the agony, short circuits your nervous system and you pass out.

Lyssa Strata: A Comedy for the Frustrated 

by Martti Nelson

A small-town librarian finds her voice and kicks some misogynist butt in the process. Inspired by the classical Greek comedy, Lysistrata, librarian Lyssa Strata has long begged the Town Council of Athena, Massachusetts to repeal its disgusting, old, misogynist, and racist laws, but the Council, an all-male entity for 400 years, has blown her off as a redheaded spinster—who, according to a 1673 law, should legally be run out of town at the end of a musket upon a poor fiscal year. When Lyssa seeks to invade the male bastion as the first woman ever on the Council, the men in charge treat her candidacy as a hilarious joke; that is, until Lyssa leads the women of the town on a sex strike.

Thomas Paine Is Not Happy With Self-Checkout Machines

The defenders of this machine tell us it is progress. They tell us it is faster. They tell us it gives us control. Yet what sort of progress requires a man to perform labor while pretending he has been liberated from it? What sort of control demands waiting for an associate to come check your ID so you can buy mouthwash? What sort of speed requires an attendant to be summoned like death himself every time the machine deems a barcode perplexing.

I gave her smell, I gave her beauty, I gave her three sinus infections a year- give give give! That’s all I ever did for her. I gave. And what does she give me in gratitude to my services? She gives me the KNIFE! Cuts me off, like some toe wart.

An Open Letter To Whoever Is Abandoning Their Used Underwear On The Shower Towel Hook At The Gym

Towel hooks should only be used for towels, not underwear. Think I’m being too vigilant? Consider that you’ve been sweating into your skivvies for long enough that your sweat has overwhelmingly stained the fabric, transforming them into a disgusting Rorshack test. I’m not even sure if, in their current state, we can still refer to them as underwear. No, they’re more like a sweat rag with an elastic waist.
