Magpie Syndrome:
An irrational affinity for objects, photographs, illustrations, paintings, posters, thoughts, designs, books covers, comics, quotes, tunes, poems, videos... When any such highly interesting thing is seen by the sufferer it often may induce a compulsive need to claim it and several minutes of staring at said object on the screen. Which will then lead to her pocketing the object to add to her collection on Tumblr.

Notes

William Faulkner resigns from his job at the post office…

October, 1924

As long as I live under the capitalistic system, I expect to have my life influenced by the demands of moneyed people. But I will be damned if I propose to be at the beck and call of every itinerant scoundrel who has two cents to invest in a postage stamp.

This, sir, is my resignation.

(Signed by Faulkner)

This makes me so happy. I want to resign too. Just as gutsily. Can’t though, b’coz, one, I will have to address the amazingly cool letter to myself and two, I see no distinguished career in writing shimmering in my future. So zipping up and preparing to continue to be on beck and call.
