Or, equalist. But either way, what the actual eff is going on with these stories?
- There are so many women with so many un-funded entrepreneurial ideas (2.8% of VC funding goes to women). AND YET: A pink tampon removal glove got 30,000 euros.
- These women-in-tech stories are still happening.
- “Fixing Bias, Not Women”. OMG. Goodbye “imposter syndrome” hello “value women’s contributions.”
- Here for the Gold Miss title: ‘”…the rather pathetic figure of the “old miss” has become the single-and-affluent “gold miss”’ (but also ‘Christmas cake’?! hilarious). Jokes aside, a fair and deep look at single women in their mid-thirties AHEM.
Now back to your regularly scheduled rando list of shit to do/read/buy/drink…
Entertainment
- Must Read: 99 Bits of Unsolicited Advice
- WAIT WHAT? Did y’all know there was a The Hills: New Beginnings Season 1? Because I didn’t and this The Hills Season 2 trailer was simultaneously thrilling and confusing. I’m now two eps into Season 1 and it’s every bit as TERRIBLE as you imagined it would be.
- TOUCAN is an awesome free browser extension that translates words you’re already reading on the screen into whatever language you’re trying to learn. Badass! I will learn Portuguese, I will learn Portuguese, I will learn Portuguese.
Shop Shoppin’ Away
- Very cool idea to back on indiegogo: Countertop compost. I have a countertop compost bin, but I dump it outside and the magic happens (slowly) out there. This is the next level: the composting happens inside!
- I’ve stalked Italic since well before they even launched, but just now bit the bullet and bought the year-long membership. The premise is this: luxury goods, without labels, sold at cost. The inspo was their just-released stainless steel apple watch band, but I also scored sunnies and a candle for $55. ($60/year, use my link for $30 off your membership or order making membership just $30!)
Feed & Wine Me
- I’m into Naturdays. They now have pops. Wut?
- Expensive ($125 for 2 bottles of wine + 3 cheeses) but this wine & cheese virtual tasting with one of my favorite Sonoma wineries, Benovia, sounds incredible.
- One of my favorite things about wine is how many obscure grape varieties there are out there in the world. Tablas Creek thinks they bottled another rarity!
