At Medium is the Mess, we believe the world doesn’t come in neat little categories — and that’s exactly why we exist. Life is dynamic, chaotic, unpredictable… and, honestly, kind of beautiful when you look at it through the right lens. We’re here to pull the thread on what’s trending, what’s changing, and what matters — not just in culture, but in our everyday lives.
Born from the shared curiosity of creators, readers, thinkers, and doers, this magazine steps off the beaten path of traditional media. We cover what’s buzzing right now, but we don’t stop there. From the science of better sleep to the way technology seeps into every corner of our routines, our stories dive beneath the surface. Each piece is designed to provoke thought, offer fresh insight, or simply give you something meaningful to chew on during your commute or late-night scroll.
We’re not chasing clicks or trends for the sake of it. Our purpose is to make sense of the noise — or at least enjoy the mess along the way. Whether you’re looking to optimize your life, stay sharp on cultural shifts, or understand how tech is reshaping human behavior, there’s something here for you.
Our team is obsessed with asking better questions. Why do some trends explode overnight? What does your pillow preference say about your brain? How has tech shaped the way we grieve, date, or dream? These are the kinds of topics we delve into, not to provide all the answers, but to spark better conversations.
So if your mind’s a little messy and you like spending time between the headlines, you’re in the right place. Take a look around — the good stuff’s just getting started.
