“

When was super depressed, I wasn’t working—I was always too depressed. Hemingway did his best work when he didn’t drink, then he drank himself to death and blew his head off with a shotgun. Someone asked John Cheever, “What’d you learn from Hemingway?” and he said “I learned not to blow my head off with a shotgun.” I remember going to the Michigan poetry festival, meeting Etheridge Knight there and Robert Creeley. Creeley was so drunk—he was reading and he only had one eye, of course, and had to hold his book like two inches from his face using his one good eye. But you look at somebody like George Saunders—I think he’s the best short story writer in English alive—that’s somebody who tries very hard to live a sane, alert life.

You’re present when you’re not drinking a fifth of Jack Daniel’s every day. It’s probably better for your writing career, you know? I think being tortured as a virtue is a kind of antiquated sense of what it is to be an artist.

- In an interview with The Fix, Mary Karr debunks the toxic mythology that it is necessary to be damaged in order to be creative. My own vehement defiance to that mythology is what led me to choose Ray Bradbury – the ultimate epitome of creating from joy rather than suffering – as the subject of my contribution to The New York Times’ The Lives They Lived.

Pair with Karr on why writers write.

I asked for a new staff photo before I get added to the personnel page since I’m not a student anymore.

My friends in our multimedia department decided to do this.

Really thankful to be working with such an amazingly talented group of people in every single facet of our organization.

The older I get and the more fucked up I realize our culture’s portrayal of gender roles in relationships is, the more I begin to hate Carla from Scrubs.

What a controlling psychopath.

This is seriously truly one of my most favorite things ever from the last few years.

Because it’s true. It’s just so fucking true. Just meditate on this shit the next time you’re afraid to take a first step because it’s gonna be tough.

I hear this line in my head every single day. I’m ridiculously okay with taking my mantra from a kid’s show.

Jake the Dog is totally my spirit animal.

Accidentally mousing over the end of the Netflix playback scrubber is the modern version of reading the last page of a book first.

List of things that didn’t happen: this.

Photoshopping fake tweets is so easy. How hard is it to go to twitter.com/yahoo and verify stuff?

Anyway. Mayer was specifically asked about Tumblr’s NSFW nature and specifically responded that they wouldn’t touch it. She has strong product vision. People seem to be forgetting that Mayer wasn’t the CEO back when Yahoo! made a name for themselves by running their acquisitions in to the ground (cough Flickr cough). But look at the Flickr redesign from yesterday. It’s brilliant. And giving everyone 1TB of storage? Awesome. I stopped paying for Flickr Pro years ago and all of my pictures that fell outside the old 200 limit just showed up again.

Yahoo! isn’t going to hurt your precious porn, people.

Stop feeding the trolls.

“…and I’ll sing once more.”

When Captain von Trapp walks into the parlor and starts singing along with his children, I cry like a little girl.

Because, apparently, I’m not actually dead inside.

(Poor Baroness. Never stood a chance.)

If you ask me to write a class called SomethingSomethingNexus, I’m gonna write you a shitload of helper classes called SomethingSomethingPylon.
