There are a lot of videos and essays laughing at alpha males, their roaring and yelling at camera and their... acolytes? students? whatever. They flash their muscles, their big expensive cars, they surround themselves with young (often, very young) women, they wear a lot of jewelery, and they like to show us how better they are than anyone else. They get up at 4am, they run or workout, lift heavy weights, drink only bottled water and eat expensive organic food. People still laugh at them, I mean people who are not obsessed with them, which are most likely very young, impressionable men. Then, there are influencers who like to show us how their life is basically clean and perfect. We saw too many videos about that too. Clean, expensive stuff, overally healthy food, everything esthetically pleasing to the top, bodies and hair and make up perfect 24 hours a day... you know the drill. Lately, I noticed on our Serbian social media our own influencers. Usually, they are women, young, in thei...

 Fran Drescher was born in September 1957, and she is mostly known for her comedic role and specific voice. Fran made three of her own series (at least, three that I know of, so sorry if I am mistaken) and I watched them all from start to finish multiple times. So, I will list them here from best to worst, with some amateur reviews. 1. The best : The Nanny (1993 - 1999) The idea of cute, street-smart girl, who starts working as a nanny in rich family was pretty good from the start. The seies are also beautiful to look at. Fran is always dressed to the nines and she carries the amazing clothes better than any super model could. One of the best things about these series is chemistry between actors, which is also what's missing from other two series (hense, why they ultimately failed). The chemistry between Fran Drescher and Charles Shaughnessy is amazing, and although their characters in the show are both far from being perfect people, you can not help but to root for them. Anot...

 As generation X, my youth was mostly during 80s and 90s of 20th century. Growing up during 80s and 90s was vastly different than growing up during 2000s or 2010s or now. Here are some nice perks of growing up before 21st centiry: We didn't know too much This may sound silly, but hear me out. Sure, to get some information you need it took time, books, magazines, asking around.. you couldn't just google "how to fix blender" or "Javascript tutorial" or whatever, you needed to work for it. A lot. Even for minor things, like how to saw something, or how to clean stain or how to prepare pasta. It took effort. If you skipped classes you had to put effort to go to public librabry, get books you need and do hours and hours of research not just google the freaking thing! But that made if feel important, accomplishment! And you didn't have many people with whom you could compare yourself, mostly people around you, not the whole freaking world. We were neer made to...

One old lady had a black cat in my building. The lady was over 80, and she didn't spay the cat because she coudln't afford it. So when the lady died, they kicked the cat out. The little cat, then maybe 1 year old, managed in the streets, she had kittens several times, I am not sure any of them survived, as they usually don't. Then, in summer 2022 she gave birth to 4 black female kittens who all survived and I really liked them and helped their mom to take care of them. One was quite feisty and I made a mistake of trying to carry her, mistaking her for her sisters who were more cuddly, and she would try to fight me. I mean, this little tiny ball of fur trying to fight me, over 120lbs monster. I would let her go, of course, because she has the right of  not liking to be carried. They were kind of miracle kittens because they all survived which rarely ever happens in this part of town. Now, almost 3 years later, 2 of daighter cats are still alive, and I spayed them to spare th...

 Since I kind of reached an age of reason, I wanted to have female friends, mythical girlfriends, mythical, powerful female friendship that so many movies, tv series, medias, and now social media on internet talks about. I never had one. Never. Never had a female friend. I watched movies and tv shows about strong women in great friendships that made each other lives richer, fuller, better, that would do anything one for another. But I've never lived anything even close to that. I had some male friends, but there was always a wall between us, sometimes smaller, sometimes big wall, wall between two people desperately trying not to cross any boundaries. Because, no matter if we are not attracted to each other sexually, or in any way but as friends, no matter that it's just a friend intentions from both sides, that wall is kind of always there. It's always a bit awkward, we can not talk about everything, there are topics that we can and topics that we can't talk about. Ther...

 Someone once said we were not meant to see so many faces of people as we see during last couple of decades. Thanks to social media, we are all exposed to way too many people and faces and bodies and way too exposed to seeing our own. It's probably not natural (for mental health) to see yourself every day, multiple times on social media, photos, selfies, and let your looks and you as a person be validated by strangers, by number of likes, by current beauty standards, by comparing yourself to thousands and thousands of faces and bodies you can see on hundreds of cable channels and even more social media networks, especially Instagram and TikTok. Being woman can be really tough. Constantly being bombarded by "theories" how your worth as a person depends on your looks, age and looking expensive, and even by your acting as a person. There are multiple channels where you are taught to behave like a princess, or queen, and how to treat people, and how to treat men, and how to b...
