dahlelama replied to your post: Wait, why do we all hate Thought Catalog all of a sudden?
I have mixed feelings, because sometimes I read things there that are funny and sometimes I am puzzled as to why they published such a pointless piece of crap. So, ya know. Mixed.
Which is a totally fine and fair (and normal) response. I don’t like everything they publish either (sidenote: is it the...

I like Thought Catalog!
BUT I totally respect everyone who sits there and says, “IT’S THE WORST THING ON THE INTERNET!” At least they’re not saying, “It’s the worst thing on the internet because James Joyce wouldn’t have approved of the structure.”

Uh, no. That is not the assumption I would make. This whole piece though, yikes. It includes this sentence: “I’m now looking for work with WWOOF, the World Wide Organization of Organic Farmers on Hawaii.”

Short version: it's because I'm a terrible person
I used to have this problem where I couldn’t get guys to be in the same room with me. As of tonight, I can’t even get them to tell me they don’t want to be in the same room with me. So I was stood up. So what?
At least that’s what I keep saying. But then I think about how I left my mom alone at the hospital to go meet this guy (to be fair, she insisted I go when she...

Online Commenting: The Age of Rage →
The psychologists call it “deindividuation”. It’s what happens when social norms are withdrawn because identities are concealed. The classic deindividuation experiment concerned American children at Halloween. Trick-or-treaters were invited to take sweets left in the hall of a house on a table on which there was also a sum of money. When children arrived singly, and not wearing masks, only 8% of...

My lone birthday wish
theoreticalgirl:
Bedroom Problems are playing Johnny Brenda’s next month with a couple of awesome bands. Not to sound maudlin (fuck you it’s my birthday, I’m gonna feel how I want to feel), but this kind of a big deal for us. JB’s is a pretty big room — a great sounding one at that — so the stakes are higher this time around, so to speak.
We’re actually going to debut a few new songs at this...

And then I hated myself a lot
Today pesto sauce leaked into the lining of my purse. My really expensive purse that was the last gasp of what I now know to be a fairly serious addiction to spending money. I love this purse. Everyone loves it.
And now it has a big, fragrant olive oil stain that’s visible from the outside.

The problem with the world is that you can ask someone if the guy she was checking out on OK Cupid had answered his questions ironically and it’s a totally legitimate question worthy of an answer. But then the greater problem is that there are people who answer such questions as those presented on OK Cupid non-ironically, and your impression of them ends up being what Suzanne just sent me:
