MoodyUm Needs More Jokes. Less Trauma
We’re Launching the Funniest Publication
If 30 Writers Say Yes, It Goes Live Tomorrow
Let’s be honest. MoodyUm can feel… heavy.
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve read stories that made me think deeply, stories that inspired me, and stories that made me pause mid-scroll just to say: damn.
But lately, after a long workday and a million browser tabs open, I find myself craving something simpler — something fun. A story that doesn’t punch me in the gut, but tickles my brain. A story that doesn’t drown me in existential dread, but hands me a cup of laughter.
And you know what?
There’s not enough of that here.
Scroll through and you’ll find essay after essay about oppression, pain, grief, unfairness at work, or how a particular group of people can’t seem to catch a break (and sometimes, that’s sadly true). But try finding a genuinely funny piece — one that doesn’t feel forced, one that actually makes you laugh?
Rare.
So I had a crazy thought — and by crazy, I mean funny-ha-ha and funny-hmmm.
What if we created a publication based entirely on humor?
