I feel like everytime I walk on a street downtown there is a man walking VERY close behind me, and loudly (shuffling their feet, making noise). I am a short female but I don’t walk particularly slowly. I don’t know if it’s a creepiness thing, a cultural thing, or what, but it makes me uncomfortable. It is unacceptable socially to walk right up behind a woman as a man and I don’t know why they’re pretending otherwise.

I always move to the side, stop, and let them pass, and I usually get a glare, as if it’s offensive that I don’t want them on my heels. Yesterday, a homeless man was walking directly behind me, muttering swear words, and swinging his fists. I moved to the side and let him pass and he called me an f-ing btch. I’m so over it

Don’t kill me because I know every single person on earth seems to think she’s the queen of pop. But I just feel like her music does NOT have the influence or ‘icon’ status that other ‘older’ artists do (ex. Gen Z loved Dolly Parton way more, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston feel more ‘iconic’) and it’s not a gag to me when Sabrina, or Charli, or Troye Sivan collab with her. Feels soooo artificial and fake gaggy

Anyways! Trish just wanted to let you know someone else agrees lolol

I’m trying to book a flight next July. I put in my destination and dates (also, is there a way to put ‘flexible’ dates to see the best deals?).

All the results were just like “Airline for $2,500 or 250,000 points”. That is the same value as me just applying the points against my balance. I see online a lot “I got this roundtrip flight to Japan for $500 of Amex points!” And am wondering how to do that. I see a lot of people say you have to transfer to the airline’s website, but how do you know which one to choose?

I’m Canadian and flying out of YYZ, if that helps

Especially by Oscar. It’s tiresome by Trisha too but I think she’s more aware of the reality. She said something like “don’t you think people would be more sympathetic though, if she came out and said she was struggling, instead of gaslighting she’s healthy?”

Oscar’s response - “it’s so hard because we’re speaking in hypotheticals, we don’t know what’s going on”.

I understand being woke and polite and girl power but come on. Her weight is not an excuse for “straight guys” to finally just pile onto her. She is, clearly and objectively, very sick. She is, objectively, a homewrecker. She is, objectively, posting photos and music videos showing off as much of her body as possible. These are not rumours or falsehoods. Her behaviour and her body have been ‘controversial’ in the public eye for several years now. She is very skinny, and she did start dating Ethan Slater when he had a wife and baby, a wife who spoke about her heartbreak (this is also more Ethan’s fault but yeah).

At a certain point you are allowed to comment on people’s bodies. Maybe this is controversial but it feels so ridiculous to me. As a young woman who grew up an Ariana fan, I can’t look at her without feeling a deep sadness remembering what she looked like healthy. If I had a daughter, I wouldn’t want her to be an Ariana fan.

Anyways. Maybe a hot take!

I’m 26 and honestly, have just never been able to hack it. I’m pretty sensitive and wear really comfy sneakers everywhere, lol. Or loafers to work.

However, I have a wedding coming up and bought really gorgeous heels. They’re literally 1.5 inches and a block heel (so as low and easy to walk as possible), but because they’re strappy and just generally not an orthopaedic sneaker, I’m constantly ‘aware’ im wearing them.

Any tips? I’ve heard take Tylenol before an event. I’m also gonna wear them around the house for a while

Summer associate at a firm that gives their summers real work equivalent to a first year associate, not summer camp vibes.

I’m there by 9am sharp (because I’m a summer and want to make a good impression). I’m a really strong worker for about 5.5 hours. But the issue is by the evening (and truthfully, by like 3pm), my eyes are tired, I’m tired, and I’ve run out of steam.

I am stressed because while I am completing the work, the expectation seems to be work later, vs. earlier. Does anyone in biglaw function by waking up early to grind vs working into the evening?

Loved the episode beyond that scene. As a woman it just is so difficult to watch things like that. Don’t mind the nudity, brothels, killing etc but what is the point ? Degrade ? Humiliate ? Watch a character we’ve heard speak twice humiliate the lead ? Weird

Was hoping to see a summer boom but there is maybe 1 new listing every 3 day within my criteria.
