When I put out a Twitter call for career and life coaches interested in chatting it up on GenMeh, Nailah Blades was one of the first to volunteer. Nailah is an LA-based life coach (and the brains behind Polka Dot Coaching) who specializes in quarter-life experiences. Our interview was supposed to be video-based, but technology…

List Served is a semi-regular feature wherein I present you with an ordered grouping of (at least tangentially) related points. I love lists and the internet loves ephemeral minutiae. It’s all good.

Psst…did I mention exclusive Facebook-only content? Consider it mentioned. If you’re into that sort of thing, Generation Meh now has a nifty Facebook page.

Actually, the fact that I’ve had the idea for a post about the show’s illustration of social gender norms on my mind for a couple of weeks now clearly takes…

Today’s installment of the American Dream Essay Series comes to us from Brittany Shoot. I “met” Brittany through the comments section of my Bitch blog, but I’m pretty sure there was no swearing involved. A couple of years ago, I wrote my master’s thesis on young people’s ethical right to privacy online. I was absorbed…

A former coworker once forced me to read The Secret. Believe it or not, I am occasionally reluctant to hurt people’s feelings, so when she came into my office singing the book’s praises, I tried to listen with an open mind. She told me how she had declared her intention to meet a man a…
