This week’s 5 Fandom Friday topic is “Fandoms You’re Thankful For” but the only fandom community I could think of was this one: The Blogging Community. We have our inside jokes, our struggles, our cliches, and our unique culture. I knew I wanted to write a Thanksgiving post about the wonderful love and support this…

How Do You Deal With Trolls?
Haters, to the left! It seems there are some people out there who never learned how to politely disagree with other human beings!

Graveyard of Dead Blogger Cliches
Hang around the blogging community long enough and you will become familiar with its clichés. Like, remember that year we were all obsessed with chevron? EVERYTHING had to be chevron – blog banners, blog backgrounds, EXPECIALLY blog buttons! Why, you just weren’t a serious blogger if you sported plain horizontal stripes – they had to…
Five Clothing Items to Survive Winter in NYC
I always say, it’s summer in New York until THE SECOND it becomes winter and then it’s winter until THE SECOND it becomes summer. When did winter happen, you ask? Winter happened overnight on October 1st. Which is cool! I can appreciate you, winter, for being organized and arriving on your own schedule! And hey,…
How to Ruin Comic Con
So many helpful articles on the Internet already exist to tell you how to SURVIVE a comic convention, how to GET THE MOST OUT OF a comic convention, blah blah blah. I was going to write that article but damn, it’s already been done did-ed already! So instead, in the interest of humor, let’s take…
5 Fandom Friday: Girls Just Wanna Have Pumpkin!
It’s that time of year! Time for Pumpkin Everything. Ornamental gourds? CHECK. Coffee-flavoured beverages? CHECK. Grab your nearest infinity scarf and strap on those black leggings, it’s time to go pumpkin picking! Not real pumpkins, hello, what do you think this is, Long Island? Aw. Hell. Naw.

Brooklyn’s Best Bloody Marys
If your 20’s are all about mimosas, then your 30’s are the decade you finally appreciate the boldness of the Bloody Mary. Clearly the more sophisticated of the brunch cocktails, the best ones come with a kick and so much garnish you can’t even find your straw. If you’re brunching down Brooklyn-way, consider these spots…
Aspects of Burning Man That Terrify Me But Oops, Too Late Now
ATTENTION PEOPLE OF THE FUTURE. By the time you read this, I will have been living out of a tent for five days, caked in alkaline dust, and peeing in Port-A-Potties exclusively (if I’m lucky): FEAR NOT! I’m not writing this missive from a past alternate dimension to prevent the apocalypse from happening (though if…

Five Times I Was The Coolest Teacher
Now that the school year is coming to an end, I feel like a soldier surrendering. Well, I tried. Well, it’s over. I feel like a failure, but there are students who brightened my outlook by sharing the times they enjoyed in my yearbook. You know, there were times when I actually kind of nailed…
5 Fandom Friday: RIDES RIDES RIDES
I LOVE RIDES. I LOVE RIDES. I LOVE RIDES. I love getting in line all cocky, totally sure of yourself, trying to show off for your friends how cool and brave you are and then feeling, as the coaster goes up, that you are certainly going to die and this was a horrible mistake and…
