Karen is a slang term typically used to refer to a middle-class white American woman who is perceived as entitled or excessively demanding.[1] The term is often portrayed in memes depicting middle-class white women who “use their white and class privilege to demand their own way”.[1][2] Depictions include demanding to “speak to the manager“, being racist, or wearing a particular bob cut hairstyle.[3] It was popularized in the aftermath of the Central Park birdwatching incident in 2020.[2]

The term has been considered pejorative by those who believe it is racist, sexist, ageist, classist, and controlling women’s behavior.[3] The term has occasionally been applied to male behavior.[3][4]
During 2020, the term increasingly appeared in media and social media, including during the COVID-19 pandemic and George Floyd protests.[1] The Guardian called 2020 “the year of Karen”.[5]
Some days life gives us Lulu’s with crab melt nachos.
Other days life gives us lemons on our slot machine in Las Vegas instead of a coin or electronic coin reward. (Casino’s are digital now too.)
I prefer to start my days with a sweat and lift session by pulling up my big boy Lululemon’s.
The moments pushing and pulling iron against gravity help me find balance. Lifting heavy weights almost always happens with music, unless I forget the headphones.
Lifting heavy weights with the beat and flow of music truly allows me to take a dance break in between sets for a moment or two during each session of lifting up the kilos and throwing back the bootay.
Life is too short not to laugh, dance and write about what brings me joy.
Dance more.
Laugh More.
Sweat More.
Embrace Nature More.
Ignore the Dog. Love the Dog.
Ignore Crawford. Love Crawford.
Ignore the Dog, especially when he is being stupid. Love Crawford when he is awesome.
Ignore the Karen’s of the world especially when they are being Karen’s.
The Karen’s of the world need to spend some time in therapy to understand why they are so bitter from the lemons they are consuming.
I’m going back to focusing on gratitude and joy and puppy kisses.
If you need to dance and remember what MTV used to be, here is a little Sofi Tukker. Warning it may be a little racy and get your heart pumping and blood flowing and remind you of your days when you were out clubbing.
