Monday, October 5th, 2020
She’s BAAAACK! Hyperbole and a Half creator Allie Brosh’s long-awaited book is here. It’s called Solutions and Other Problems, and it has all the bizarrely funny stuff we expect from Brosh, but also stories about weird childhood friends, painful relationships and devastating loss.
“I think that is kind of the way it is in life, how it really goes,” Brosh tells All Things Considered’s Ailsa Chang. “There’s no, like, convenient structure to life and to the stories that are unfolding in real time. And we can try to package them in these convenient ways, where everything makes perfect sense and this act leads to this act, but I don’t think I really wanted to do it that way.” Check out the full conversation (and really, you should click on the link to listen, because there’s some stuff in there that didn’t translate to the page) here.
CONSIDER ALL THE THINGS!!

You’re doing better,
The safest you’ve been in months.
One conversation about your family’s insurance
And suddenly,
Out of nowhere,
It feels like your world is crashing down
All over again:
“You need to think about the long run.”
Okay.
“Fewer appointments.”
Doable.
“No hospitalization.”
What?
“Learn to manage it without meds and doctors.”
I…
“What?”
Can’t.
I think,
I’m fucked.
I pray,
God, why won’t it kill me already?
I nearly scream,
I CAN’T DO THE LONG RUN IF I DON’T GET TO IT!
And then…
No.
No.
Not again.
Not now.
It doesn’t have me yet.
It hasn’t won yet.
Maybe it will.
But not now.
Maybe it breaks my spirit,
But I’m the one fighting for me.
I still have stuff to do.
I’ll tell my own damn story.
The short run is good, too.
