If there is one thing that is clear about this lockdown, it's that literally nobody wants to be stuck doing it.

This time—an upheaval of American life caused by poor planning—is traumatic.


Folks are struggling with their mental health on the day-to-day, and since life never looks to be going back to exactly how it was, trying to make peace with a lot of different information.

However, Idris Elba does not appear to be worried about that trauma, despite contracting and being in recovery for the virus himself.

Elba went on record with Associated Press to say:

"I think that the world should take a week of quarantine every year just to remember this time. Remember each other. I really do."

People immediately logged onto Twitter with one united message: that's absolutely ridiculous.










Domestic abuse has also risen as folks are being forced to stay home with their abusers.











The economic downturn of the lockdowns worldwide is also staggering.

New York City is suffering a possible loss of 475,000 jobs over the next year.










Hopefully there will be an end date to this all, where we put things as close as back to normal as humanly possible.

But for right now, re-traumatizing people doesn't sound like a good plan.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
