So I guess these are monthly now? Are you tired of reading about the dictator next door and the countless arrests and murders of innocent people? You deserve a break, so take your mind off of that stuff with some different "news" events that truly don't matter at all... except for Heated Rivalry . Heated Rivalry matters so much. Heated Rivalry becomes even more of a cultural phenomenon There's honestly so much here, it probably should have been it's own blog post, but whatev

Though this is titled 'Zoey's Pop Culture Highlights 2025,' I'm starting in September 2024 to keep consistent with the recap I just wrote, which you can read here . September 2024 Bowen Yan's Moo Deng/Chappell Roan impression  November 2024 Mattel accidentally prints a porn site onto the Wicked Barbie doll boxes. This was really funny, especially because nobody was going to go to the movie's website anyway. April 2025 Sinners comes to theatres. This movie was unique, and I

About a year and a half ago, I wrote a pop culture recap to help Jayden be able to re-enter Canadian society. What I wasn’t really considering was that the majority of my readers are over the age of 50 (with Violet being a notable exception), and they too had no idea what went on in the world. Therefore, today I will be recapping the past fourteen-ish months, so you too can communicate with the youths and go into the new year as an informed human.  Before I start, I would lik

“My mother died a year ago.” A year? That’s a while. You’re moving on, right? Yeah, I’m starting to because time goes on no matter how hard you fight it. In fact, you can’t fight it. Time’s a concept, not something I could try to grapple and beat up, or sue in court for emotional damages. The last time I saw her is getting farther and farther away, but running backwards does literally nothing except cause injuries. I feel almost stuck, like everyone is moving forwards and I’m

Hello blog readers! Every year I write a bunch of predictions for the year to come, and have people vote on whether or not they believe they will come true. Do I actually think everything I write will happen? Not even a little bit. This all started back in 2021 when I saw a bunch of people posting videos on Tiktok containing their predictions for the coming year. I decided to assemble the most common ones into a survey, communicating that they were not my own ideas, and poste

My birthday has always been my favourite holiday because I love attention and feeling particularly special. It’s a day where almost...

I feel like I finally get religion. Ever since I became an atheist (which to be clear, happened pretty much as soon as I was introduced to religion), I’ve never fully understood why people were so into this theology thing. As I grew older and took more sociology classes, I came to the conclusion that people turned to religion because it feels good to belong. Congregating once a week with people who unequivocally accept you must give a person a comforting sense of security in

As probably all of my readers know, my mum passed away this past Thursday. Here is the speech I performed at her funeral: Out of all the...
