The Different Internet K-Holes There Are
by Gaby Dunn via Thought Catalog
“Tumblr Shame Spiral
TSS — Tumblr Shame Spiral (not Toxic Shock Syndrome) — is the one Internet k-hole I’m most susceptible to. If I were Rivers Cuomo, Tumblr would be my frail Japanese cellist. I am obsessed. But I made the mistake, in the beginning when I first signed up for the site, of following back everyone who followed me — rather than just following blogs that posted about my interests. So now, my dashboard is a diverse splattering of sh-t I might not necessarily care about.
It starts off innocently enough. Maybe I’ll see a photo of a hot guy and wonder what show he’s from or someone will post a funny quote and I’ll be curious about who said it. So I click through. Once I find out, I think it wouldn’t hurt to type their name into the search sidebar and see what else I can find out about them.
In a flash, it’s six hours later and I know the words to all of One Direction’s songs and I hate Finchel and I think bowties are cool and I want Sherlock to shag the bejesus out of John Watson. I look out my window at the people having fun on the city streets and I pity them.”

GOOD asked for some Real Talk post-grad advice from people including me, Victor of Das Racist, Jenna Wortham, Baratunde Thurston and James Deen. Super fun.
PENGUIN DRESS. PENGUIN MUG. PENGUIN LIFE.
“We sit here now across from each other at a cramped table in a cramped coffee shop. Our Macbooks are practically tongue-kissing but you haven’t even looked up at me for the last hour. Meanwhile, my fingers have stilled on my keys. I am looking at you. Your furrowed eyebrows, your intent on your task, your dedication to working and to a lightened screen when the sun shines in from the outside through a window advertising chai lattes and I have one ringing, piercing thought: Let’s run away.”

Hey! Guys with jobs! What is one thing someone could ask you to do at your job that would drive you bonkers?
For example when I was working in web design, I’d haaaate when someone would ask me to “just make that blink-y” or “make that sparkley?”
No matter what your job is, I’m looking for the most ridiculous, annoying, outrageous requests people make of you that make your life hell. Either comment or leave them here: http://gabydunn.com/ask
What are they?
