    Relevant To Our Interests: On the Future Site of Outer Coast College

    By Nicole Dieker

    in Writing

    They asked me what it was like to be a freelance writer, and I asked them what it was like to start a college. Not everyone at the table was involved with Outer Coast, but a few of them were part of the planning team. They were all planning other things, too; that night the room was full of plans, with me as a reminder that plans can take you somewhere unexpected.

    “Gentle On My Mind”: Thanks For Letting Me Leave My Stuff Here

    By Mallory Ortberg

    in Music

    Babe it's honestly the fact that you don't ever expect me to visit you
    that makes me feel so comfortable around you
    like so comfortable I just leave my stuff indefinitely at your house
    because you're not interested in shackling me with rules and contracts like
    "can you come get your stuff"
    "Glen your stuff is always at my house but you never visit"

    Dear Businesslady: Advice for the Overworked and Overqualfied

    By Businesslady

    in Dear Businesslady

    Even if you’re not afflicted with Must Always Make Everyone Like Me Syndrome (which I definitely suffer from), anyone trying to move forward in their career is going to feel a certain pressure to agreeably take on as much work as they’re capable of doing. The line between “happy to help out” and “being a doormat” is often both fine and blurry.
