“It’s Not Goodbye, It’s… Okay, It’s Goodbye”

“I’m not ghosting you, I just needed space,” they text, three weeks after falling off the Earth–and right before posting vacation selfies with someone named “Just a Friend.”

Funny Evidence from the Casper Collective

One person unmatched mid-convo and blamed “energy misalignment.” Another left someone on read for two months, then replied, “lol my bad, Mercury retrograde.”

Quote from a Ghost in the DMs

“I just needed to focus on me,” said Phanta Flee. “And by ‘me’ I meant rewatching all six seasons of *Succession* alone in silence.”

By Katie Rich

Katie Rich was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, where irony drips as thick as the humidity and every parade doubles as political commentary. She later made her way north to Northwestern University, earning a degree in Theater while moonlighting as a stand-up comic in bars where the gumbo was spicier than the hecklers. Rich built her reputation as a fearless comedy writer, contributing to television’s sharpest satire before landing her byline at Bohiney.com. As both a satirical journalist and stand-up performer, she skewers politics, pop culture, and the strange rituals of everyday life with equal precision, often turning the chaos of Louisiana’s colorful traditions into comedy gold. Known for her blend of absurdity, empathy, and sharp timing, she delivers journalism that feels like an exposé disguised as a punchline. With bayou grit and academic polish, Katie Rich’s EEAT bio proves she’s both trusted and hilariously untrustworthy.
