“It seems to me that a mass movement for relief of college debt could be such a movement. Some 37 million students and former students have college loans, totaling more than a trillion dollars. And tens of millions of parents who were required to co-sign loans for their kids are at risk of students fall behind on their payments. That’s a lot of people — college-educated people in their prime of life. Politicians need to hear from them. An entire generation is failing to get economic traction in a weak job market. College debt only adds to the delay young adults face in buying homes or starting families. This is not an abstract ideological proposition. It is up close and personal.”

Robert Kuttner: Needed: A Mass Movement for College Debt Relief

(I will never not complain about student loans until there is a solution that actually happens)

“I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days when you’re in them before they’re gone.”

Andy Bernard, The Office

… the tears just start coming you guys

Michael: I’m friends with everybody in this office. We’re all best friends. I love everybody here. But sometimes your best friends start coming into work late and start having dentist appointments that aren’t dentist appointments, and that is when it’s nice to let them know that you could beat them up.

this dog. tomorrow. I mean, I can’t.

lessons from The Awl:

I try to gently nudge him in another conversational direction by saying something mild and loving, like, “Please shut the fuck up right now.”

“Is this a good idea? What do you think? Can you help me? Do you want to publish this? What would you change?”

… you’re standing there saying, “Well? What should this be? What should I be? Who the fuck am I anyway? Do you even love me anymore?”

And sometimes, in order to take total, true creative responsibility, you have to shut people out for a while. You have to stop walking around like a giant fucking question mark. You have to stop looking for reassurance from half-interested friends, and you have to stop asking other people to help you shape your work from start to finish. Calm the fuck down and get back to work. Talking in circles is just a form of procrastination. Asking for guidance but not actually wanting guidance is a way of justifying inaction and self-pity. Letting it out is one thing; repeating yourself indefinitely is another.

“Shut up. Go finish your shit and then edit it again and again and again until it’s great. When you’re done, then we can talk some more.”
