feeling-unmoored asked:

Hi unpaid social media intern, when writing TFIOS did you slip in a Terminator reference? The internet is not giving me any answers, so I'm hoping you will know!

Thank you (and btw, I love your coffee!)

  1. I don’t know. Maybe? Can you remind me of the passage? I spent ten years writing that book off and on, and so there was plenty of time for insertion of references and resonances of all sorts. But that was over a decade ago. When I started writing tfios, I was 23. When I finished it, I was 33. Now, I am 45. A roaring sea of time has passed between me and that book, and so I do not remember too much about it.
  2. In some ways, the person who wrote that book is so strange to me. He was so angry, so grief-stricken, so furiously unreconciled to a world where injustice is twisted into God’s Plan or the Universe’s Will or whatever. I remember that person, and I care for him, and I am still unreconciled to this world, but for me writing the book was a way of saying what I needed to tell myself: It is not only long lives that can be full lives, and not only old love that can be real love.
  3. I am still very angry about injustice. But at this juncture in my life, my focus is on the injustice that we as a human community are choosing and causing. We are choosing and causing a world where 1 in 20 Sierra Leonean women can expect to die in pregnancy or childbirth. We are choosing and causing a world where 1,500,000 people die every year of tuberculosis, a disease that is seen as a past-tense phenomenon in most of the rich world. I do not know how to write books about this horror, at least not yet, but it is the focus of my life right now and the reason I have become, for instance, an unpaid intern of a coffee company that donates its profits toward rectifying the horrific injustice of the global maternal mortality crisis.

So my parents love coffee. They drink a ton of it every day. But they buy the cheapest bulk coffee they can find. When I travel (which I do a fair amount of) I try to bring them back a bag of coffee from wherever I’ve been. Normally they make really nice noises about how good it is but I can tell they’re just being nice because I’ve carted it across an ocean and into the middle of nowhere Wyoming and that they don’t actually notice a difference. But for the holidays I bought them a subscription of the awesome coffee club. I could tell they were a bit skeptical when I talked their ears off about how much better it was gonna be bc of how much care went into the selection of the beans and the fact that the growers were paid well and that they were actively fighting deforestation and that all the profits went to decrease maternal mortality in Sierra Leon (all the good stuff that you already know about by being the unpaid intern of course). However, when my dad first made it, my mom came down stairs and asked him “what did you do differently today, this coffee is so so much better than usual??” And I felt vindicated. So I think I’ve got them converted. Thanks for making their days better (and mine, but for more entertainment reasons, as a non coffee drinker)😊

This is the happiest story! You have helped your dear parents to see the light of better coffee that benefits the world’s poorest people. This makes me overjoyed. Thank you. Also, please say hello to your parents in Wyoming for me.

Also: Awesome Coffee really is THAT good. Nobody is paying me to say that it’s good. That’s the great thing about being an unpaid intern. It just IS good.

I was listening to a Dear Hank & John episode from November, and you said Hank joining tumblr was "the single biggest betrayal of [your] love and trust." Which I found very funny

Yes, that was a joke, but it was a joke with an edge.

I have been trying to figure out what to do with my Tumblr Feelings for over 10 years now. What a funny thing! I feel quite immature about still having so many Tumblr Feelings after all these years, but life is weird! You grow out of things you do not expect to grow out of (like a fear of abandonment, say), but you do not grow out of things you expect to grow out of (like having an abundance of contradictory feelings of regret and heartbreak and confusion and worry about the website tumblr dot com).

I know you're just an unpaid intern running the tumblr dot com page for a coffee company that donates all of its profits to charity so this will mean nothing to you But I want to say that the anthropocene reviewed book made me start falling back in love with the world before I'd even realised I needed to and that I think it's really very wonderful

Here’s the weird thing, norvtown.

Sometimes I feel like I am the person who wrote that book of essays, and sometimes I feel like I know the person who wrote that book, and then other times I feel utterly distant to the person who wrote that book, even though it only came out a year and a half ago. Like, that person had a whole different set of worries and hopes than I do.

This is the great thing about writing books, and also the terrible thing. Books are like little time capsules that never age, but everything else does age. So the book is a little message in a bottle, floating around in a very large ocean full of many such messages in a bottle, which makes it so lovely when you discover that someone has found your little message in a bottle from way back when and discovered that my past was helpful to them in their present. Lovely!

Anyway, as much as I love my day job of being an unpaid intern for a coffee company that donates its profit to charity, I am so encouraged by messages like yours that I will try to keep moving forward with my other job as well.
