thats because you’ve already fucked up your feet by wearing high heels regularly. at a certain point, deformed craves deformed.

Huh. I have really high arches too, and heels kill my back, to the point that I can’t wear them at all. 

Because of a weird bone deformity compounded by searingly awful arthritis I literally cannot wear heels at all, except for very clunky, blocky ones with big thick Cuban heels—-the minute I try to stand up in a pair of normal heels, this absolutely savage pain tears through my feet, and there’s no point in my…

I really wish heels weren’t necessary to look professional as a woman. In my field, it’s just required, and it blows because heels are the WORST.

Sisters had potential, but for anyone familiar with Fey/Poehler or any of the character’s they’ve played it was totally miscast. They put Fey in the role of the rebel screw up, and Poehler was the exasperated responsible sister. The chemistry seemed so forced. I spent the whole movie (which I watched from the…

Seconded. Re: parks and rec...

I love them both and would watch a sitcom they did together. But please give them new characters instead of spinning off or rebooting either show. I want new material, new plots, and new interactions. Plus, I can’t see a plausible way for the two existing characters to interact.

Ok, so what you just described? That sounds like the worlds GREATEST road trip movie. Like, Liz and Leslie find themselves in Hong Kong and have to drive/backpack/ride-trains together all the way to Rabat (for some contrived reason that is not important).

Liz and Leslie would HATE each other. Liz would get so annoyed by Leslie’s earnestness (a Kenneth who accomplishes things). Leslie would hate Liz’s cynicism and apathy under a veneer of caring.

I don’t know about sexual harassment, but I can tell you he was my first interview as a newly-minted freelance journalist, and he was a fucking nightmare. He was so coked up, it took him several tries to spell his wife’s name, which was “Nancy.” He and the festival host who’d gotten me the interview traded in-jokes…

From what I have heard it was pretty much an “open secret” in the industry for a long time, and that when Weinstein/ MeToo started gaining more traction people were basically taking bets on how long it would take before it caught up to JL as well.

The kids themselves have commented on that and have been VERY deliberate about wresting the focus back on themselves when the media starts drifting towards the shooter. Honestly they have been out here killing it in general, not only for the unified presentation of their campaign but also with the length of time…

Just went to the I2 Wrap party last weekend, and as is tradition, we sit through the credits until the end. Everyone claps typically when the directors, producers, etc. names appear on screen, but the claps immediately stopped when JL’s name showed up. Just in case anyone wanted to know how most Pixarians feel about…

Prixar?

This was a very sweet and lovely moment.

I am glad the focus in the media lately has been on the survivors and not the perpetrators. It discourages copycats and possibly helps those who have been hurt cope. (maybe?) And that was a lovely rendition.

Oh man, “guy who had a previous fancy-schmancy Ivy League job that he left for mysterious reasons 5-10 years ago” is practically an established warning sign for these types in academia. The fancy universities LOVE to just quietly pass these assholes off to another school as a means of “fixing” their harassment…

Shapland’s story is basically mine — except that I was 17 at the time and he was in his forties.

everyone is 100% a colleague

I think it was Sovereign Syre I heard on a podcast talk about how she went to college early and did everything right to be a “good” girl (was a virgin, dressed modestly, studied hard) and was still sexually harassed by a college professor. It really highlighted that,as a woman, you can NEVER be “good” enough. Like…
