100% culture of secrecy prevents comparison. I used to keep mum, but when I learned from a new hire casually talking about their pay, that I was making less than them...changed my mind! Was able to negotiate higher pay based on the info.

I’ve found that the pay disparity sadly also works up the chain. Former place I worked at, if you had a male supervisor, you would be paid more because A.) the ceiling was higher because your boss was paid more than female counterparts and I think as significant, B.) they more agressively lobbied for higher pay when…

I think of you get a table like that you could actually go several differently directions, basically whatever you want, because of the two-tone top. As long as the woods have that cool undertone like the table and your maple, vs something warm like cherry or mahogany like finish, you could really do anything. You…

I have only watched one scene, featuring an off-broadway gender-reversal of Streetcar Named Desire. I haven’t had a big gut-laugh like that in ages! This trailer though does nothing for me and has me wondering how possibly the scene could have made me laugh so much.

Did he actually have a yen with Edward the person or is it truer that it was just his thing for the crown and the person holding it?

Yes, and the article does go into that. Whats new or interesting is the evidence that the Nazis were considering the coup themselves. Certainly there was rumor based on Edward’s sympathies, but not this evidence here.

Well she is dating Darren Aronofsky.

Yeah. That’s why its remarkable. Outside of the romance genre, its most often women choosing disguising names, not men.

Read somewhere that it was a treat for Maisie Williams because she’s a big fan of Ed Sheeran. They chose him and designed the scene to maximize the amount of time she could hang out with him on set.

I mean part of why its odd to you might be when you see a baby over 8 lbs, you wince thinking about the size of that thing coming out of the birth canal in a natural birth.

It’s a lot of things. “We want to appeal to a broad audience”=cast men. Also, historically playwriting, like other literature, has been the domain of men with material done by women seen as niche . Less and less true, but hell, revivals with rare exception are always a sure bets. And with professional productions more…

Oops. Regret casting aspersions on Miley. I hazily thought i remembered something but obviously was mistaken.

While there are many reasons to hate Paris Hilton, I’ve always respected that she seems to take decent care of her pets. She keeps all her dogs and doesn’t have an unreasonable amount for the resources and space she can provide.

(And it was one of the most memorable scenes, both visually and in meaning: crossing no man’s land)

50 and British Dames have a great affinity.

Yes! Americans pick up all this dogmatic shit around food because we think it makes us international, aware and etc and it’s always like, yes but in fact the French put ice in their wine, and the Italians put milk in their bolognese, and some Germans put syrup in their beer!

Yea and I’ve done it in both. As much as we all (...) love to enjoy the levels of flavor and facets and thoughtfully chew the wine when it’s a nice expensive glass, if I’m drinking something under $10, nothing is sacrosanct. If it’s freaking hot out and I can’t stomach a beer, iced wine is perf!

The rise of Instagram? It looks very pretty in a glass

I’ve been sitting here wondering. Alls I can think is of the first ‘trial of the century’ during the Gilded Age when Evelyn Nesbit of Gibson Girl fame’s millionaire husband shot her lover on the roof of Madison Square Garden.

Ugh and here I was babbling about overcompensation. Being paid less? That’s outrageous!
