Me too! I just finished reading her post. Linda Holmes is who I want to be when I grow up.
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I feel like I've gotten too big for my britches. I've been through too many bosses, carried the load on my own for too many years, that I simply can't stay here. Unless I take the directorship, I don't belong here. I'll never be content with a new fucknut for a boss, and a director will never be happy with a know-it-all bossy-pants for a subordinate.
It doesn't sound like you are happy there unless you are in charge. And that's a valid way to feel but it requires that you actually be in charge to work.

Because books.
Linda Holmes is great. And Allie Brosh's stuff is the only thing that's ever felt remotely close to what depression is like.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's a well thought out essay. I was just thinking earlier today how while I may never actually read Night of the Gun I appreciate knowing that exists, partially because it's such a great object lesson in the difference between How I Remember It and How It Was.
Apparently, my real problem with the jumbo muffin size is that I do not have nearly enough food storage containers that are appropriately sized to hold them comfortably. I'm regretting not impulse buying the cupcake carriers I saw at the grocery store.
Somewhat relatedly, I think I might be a bad person (sustainability-wise, anyway) because I have started using paper liners inside my silicone liners. These "muffins" do not have enough structurally integrity to make it on their own all naked and unprotected, and I can't be tying up precious silicone liners until the whole batch is eaten.

The status is NOT quo.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Burrell. It’s always sudden.

I'm very sorry, Burrell.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm so sorry, Burrell. Much ~ma to you and your family.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm sorry, Burrell. Peace and strength to you and yours.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Oh Burrell, there are no words.
