THOUGHTS FROM A TINY ASS CHAIR BLOG

Thoughts From a Tiny-Ass Chair was a women’s comedy blog co-created in 2017 by Macee Binns and Fernanda Chaves, centered around the absurdities of life and dating in Los Angeles.

The name was born during the blog’s very first creative meeting, which took place in a swanky Beverly Hills Starbucks—where Macee and Fern found themselves crammed into tiny-ass chairs (barely 12 inches off the ground), balancing drinks, laptops, and food on a miniature wooden stump that could hardly pass for a table. Finding this a fitting metaphor for the chaos of adulthood, the blog ran with it.

Though the site itself is no longer active, the selected posts featured here are original pieces written solely by Macee Binns. These short comedic lifestyle essays capture the humor, chaos, and cringe-worthy charm of navigating adulthood—one tiny-ass chair at a time.

Are Brain Farts Hereditary?

I do consider myself to be a smart person—I mean, I’m no brain surgeon, but I have managed to survive the past 20-some-odd years without maiming myself to the point of death.

It's a Harsh Reality

My mom always said, “You can date rich just as easily as you can date poor, so date rich—damn it!” Needless to say, she was ecstatic when I agreed to go on a reality show geared toward dating millionaires.

Show Me the Meaning of Being Old

WARNING: As you get older, your hair will betray you! Although aging can be depressing—and many surprising new developments are in store as your body undergoes its second coming of puberty—we can all take a lesson from our old pals, the Backstreet Boys: It ain’t over until the elderly men dressed in glitter suits sing!

The Man Selfie—A Profile Picture Review

You wouldn’t believe how many guys have profile pictures with Betty White! I guess it says, “I’m fun, and I love grandmas.” Not necessarily THEIR grandmas…but grannies nonetheless. Are you really gonna swipe left on Betty? I don’t think so. So, you swipe right on whatever dude shows up with a photo of Betty White—regardless of what he looks like. Smooth move, boys. Touché.

The Power of Seduction

I’ve been totally f*cked in the dating department ever since age 15, when my first prom date stood me up because—he “didn’t have pants.” Now, normally I wouldn’t take the words of a hygienically challenged woman living above a Chevron to heart, but that old psychic really hit the nail on the head when it comes to my luck in love—decaying tooth and all.

World Champion of B.S.

If anyone were to ever ask, “Hey Macee, what were you doing on New Year’s 2006?” I could say without hesitation or shame, “Watching the Rock, Paper, Scissors Championships on ESPN with my grandpa.” What can I say? I’m a sucker for useless ‘sports.’

Hello from the Other Side...

If our first creative meeting is any indication of what writing this blog is going to be like… then we’re in deep shit. This morning, Fern and I found ourselves in a swanky Starbucks, attempting to launch our comedy blog whilst sitting in a tiny-ass chair and struggling to balance our laptops on a miniature wooden stump that these bougie Beverly Hills folk have deemed a table. Thus, the Thoughts From a Tiny-Ass Chair blog was born.
