Orly Minazad is a freelance writer and regrets it every day of her life. She moved to the States from Iran in 1991 with her family seeking better opportunities only to waste them earning a Masters in Professional Writing degree from USC which no longer exists, cost a lot of money, and for which she has nothing to show. No, she is not bitter at all. Why do you ask? Oh, you didn’t, ok. She lives with her husband and son in Los Angeles where she spends the day loading and unloading the dishwasher.

I saw this 10 ways to enjoy Cacio e Pepe list and thought how is that possible? It’s literally just cheese and pepper on pasta and it turns out I was right and it’s just a list of different foods to put cheese and pepper on. Not mad at it. (Food Network)

Pack your BENGAY, my fellow elderly Millennials. Blink-182 is headed to Coachella. (Vulture)

I know we’re all supposed to make fun of Conservative Dad for making Ultra Right “100% woke free” Beer but he’s kind of a genius for making money off his own people’s stupidity. (New York Post)

In what world would anyone want a musical cabinet? I’m going to assume the designer Hemmo Honkonen clearly does not have children. (Core77)

Finally, a sound answer to whether or not you should have a separate loofah for your butthole. (Defector)
