Today, while eye-jogging on Gawker (fuck off, that’s all you
can do there), I found the Thought Catalog They're illuminating and informative. Also, according to their 'About' page:
3. TC contributors are smart. They’re at the vanguard of their respective fields and have published everywhere from The Paris Review to Maxim.
No one should ever do that. If you have to point out that you're smart... well...
8. We’re generous. We’re positive. We’re friendly. We prefer to focus on the good than the bad. We’re more celebratory than critical.

Oops. Guess that means I'm just old and negative!! Nah, I'm neither. This shit is just boring and none of it applies to anyone. Not even their 24-year-old peers.
Gawker asserts that this site is populated by creative writing students in their 20s. Look, unless those kids grew up in Libya or the Gobi Desert, only their friends are really interested. Teenagers feel everything incredibly deeply and they internalize everything. Twenty-somethings realize a) they aren’t teenagers anymore and b) HOLYFUCKTHEREAREPEOPLEOUTSIDEOFME. This site is an ode to their feelings about that.
