YES YES YES
This makes me wish I had any drawing talent and could’ve thought this up. Swoon.
On October 15, 2011, I moved back to my adolescent bedroom with $300 to my name; on October 1, 2012, I moved into a Bushwick apartment I’d recently signed a lease for, once more a proud, productive member of the American economy. In between, I freelanced extensively for a number of publications, usually on a daily basis — my math is very shaky, but I estimate I published somewhere between 200,000 and 400,000 words in that time span, some of them terrible, some of them not-terrible, but all of them paid for. Over the last year several people have burnished my ego by telling me I’m the only one amongst our age group whom they know to be making a full-time go of the freelance thing, which is sort of hilarious/terrifying because I fell into it accidentally and had never taken the time to think about how I’d gotten to this position. Here is my stab at some of that thought process, though I’m sure I’m forgetting plenty.
(DISCLAIMER: Things I have been wrong about include the long-term viability of Kreayshawn, the candidacy of Francois Hollande, the importance of chemistry between the 2012-13 Los Angeles Lakers, the subversiveness of Odd Future, etc. I am wrong a lot, and if anyone reading this has found a better way to do the things I’m writing about, great! Please chase that. But this has generally worked for me, and thus I will share it with you.)
This has been so insightful.
Love love her.

IRON MAN’S INTERVENTION, STARRING THE AVENGERS
As if I can’t have a drink
or two in the morning,
before risking my life
for people who don’t
know my name.As if I can’t enjoy
a bottle of Chianti
and a smooth woman
when I’m not disarming
warheads in mid-flight
over the Atlantic.As if the bottle of Johnnie
Walker you found, half-
empty, in my briefcase
implies I’m not capable
of defending New York
from shape-shifting, green
men from another world.A man at Starbucks shoved
me during morning rush.
I stumbled over chairs,
fell. With my suit—
my marvelous iron prison—
I could pop his head with a flick
of one finger. But without it,
I’m just a man lost in the city.Meanwhile you walk
down streets with a cowl
or cape the only difference
and you’re transformed—
the man underneath as real
as the one slamming villains
into concrete. You think
I need a drink to get in
the suit. But you’re wrong.I need it to get out.
wrong dang movie
As long as they still include a rendition of “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” I will probably still cry.

Zombie apocalypse survival tip #23
I have a friend who’s currently training to handle first responders’ PTSD. A similarly levelheaded person would be a good fit for the zombie apocalypse, where almost everyone is a “first responder.”
YES. Except, this will never be as good as SNL because we don’t get to watch Bill Hader start breaking.
