a nitpick, but I think self-destruct messages usually come with a stronger word than "caution."

everything on the tumblr could be from a "dead inside" line of Hallmark cards

Yeah, stay strong! I know you're going through the hardest thing anyone could possibly imagine right now, but

Will Chave (Hurting 2), Thursday, 26 July 2012 20:49 (eleven years ago) link

ok wait I get it it's basically chicken soup for the soul. I mean I actually get it, like that's why it's going to be a book and people might buy it.

Will Chave (Hurting 2), Thursday, 26 July 2012 20:50 (eleven years ago) link

YES, THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE RESENTING, YOUR GOOD FORTUNE. YOUR COMPLETELY COINCIDENTAL, NOT NEPOTISTIC AT ALL, ENTIRELY EARNED BY THE SWEAT OF YOUR CREAMY BROW GOOD FORTUNE.

Does it ever occur to people like this that being actually genuinely viciously self-critical generally means not putting every thought you ever have on a tumblr?

Will Chave (Hurting 2), Thursday, 26 July 2012 20:53 (eleven years ago) link

I imagine that talking to her is a soul-sucking experience.

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Thursday, 26 July 2012 20:53 (eleven years ago) link

mixed feelings about kickstarter?

that's why Love made the weirdos (brownie), Thursday, 26 July 2012 20:54 (eleven years ago) link

reading this girl's tumblr and listening to shostakovich string quartets at the same time is making me feel like a raging psychopath

Will Chave (Hurting 2), Thursday, 26 July 2012 20:55 (eleven years ago) link

@thebl0w
I'm sure there is someone who hates me as much as I hate these clueless Brooklyn parents who turn their children into little assholes.

"i don't think anyone could ever criticize me more severely than the way i viciously criticize myself" is a shitty rip of a lena dunham line also. just fwiw.

i've never wanted to flip over a fucking table so bad as i do right now after skimming this girl's tumblr

Girls is basically doing to Brooklyn what Sex and the City did to Manhattan, isn't it

Will Chave (Hurting 2), Thursday, 26 July 2012 21:02 (eleven years ago) link

btw I'm tumblrilliterate, how do I see the actual responses of people and not just "x reblogged this"

Will Chave (Hurting 2), Thursday, 26 July 2012 21:03 (eleven years ago) link

xps no "i don't think anyone could ever criticize me more severely than the way i viciously criticize myself” is just like a standard cliche that’s been around forever. but not phrased as well.

1staethyr, Thursday, 26 July 2012 21:04 (eleven years ago) link

I'm not sure I could criticize you more severely than you viciously criticize yourself, but I'd sure like to try.

it is also a generational koan that's been around for years

i was livejournaling that shit in 2004 and even i knew it wasn't original (*~h8 'girls'~*)

I feel a similar way about this as I did when I first read Dave Eggers. "Dude, everything's been done and I suck, so how about I make art about how I suck." No fuck you. You actually do suck. Get out of my mindspace.

Will Chave (Hurting 2), Thursday, 26 July 2012 21:07 (eleven years ago) link

"no one could be more critical of me than myself" like damn girl, believe me, this is not the mark of precocious self-awareness you think it is. learn a little self-compassion and you'll feel better.

real men have been preparing manly dishes for centuries (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 26 July 2012 21:08 (eleven years ago) link

tbf Dave Eggers is a very charitable reference point vis a vis her tumblr

Will Chave (Hurting 2), Thursday, 26 July 2012 21:09 (eleven years ago) link

Go spend some time getting good at something, then come back and do it for me in 5-10 years.

Will Chave (Hurting 2), Thursday, 26 July 2012 21:09 (eleven years ago) link

apparently she is gonna stop making these soon because her pen is running out & it would be impossible to justify buying a new pen solely to continue transmitting these fleeting insignificant thoughts to the page

, Blogger (schlump), Thursday, 26 July 2012 21:10 (eleven years ago) link

Her budget does not run to new pens all willy-nilly.

can we as a culture stop pretending that being self-hating and neurotic is somehow correlated to being insightful and intelligent

You can fucking thank Woody Allen for that, I think? At least partly.

envy and resentment at people counting them as 'thoughts'
