[author’s note: I am posting this unedited; written 4/23/21 // and then I never finished it because I flew to Costa Rica and tried to go off the grid as much as possible. But it’s so … happy! So I’m publishing it before publishing this week’s FGF.] I am starting this list on a feel…
Dammit I Have to Be Feminist Today | Checklist 56
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…
Virtual Life | Feel Good Friday 042321
After a VERY virtual week at a virtual conference that had me in front of a screen 7-7, I could not be more ready for the non-virtual adventure I’m about to embark on in Costa Rica! BUT if you miss me and want in on my virtual life, check out this (business) podcast I was…
Checklist 55: Shopping Confessions
Or, how great marketing wins? I made a list of packages I’m expecting this week and it’s embarrassing. I didn’t think I was shopping online much but the eight packages I’m currently waiting on certainly appear to make a liar of me. Shop Shoppin’ Away is the only category today MadRabbit (tattoo cream) – I’ve…
LIFE | Feel Good Friday 041621
I was interviewed on a podcast yesterday! It was my first time (not hosting). It was SO much fun. I LOVE MY TEAM so much. The past two days have been long, long workdays. I hurt my knee and was scared it was bad but kind of knew it wasn’t but was still scared because…
Checklist 54
I’m moving my furniture around—again—so will likely be pinning rugs and chairs as I try to decide how to fill different spaces. Maybe I like change, or maybe it’s just not right yet. Entertainment UM… these two short films are insane but awesome: PIZZA FACE and CHEESE DOG. My coworkers are fantastic. Love this random…
Back to Our Regularly-Scheduled Gratitude | Feel Good Friday 040921
LOL I wrote that title on Friday with the best intentions, but we are at Sunday afternoon and I still haven’t published this “regularly-scheduled” gratitude list… Thanks to the friends who immediately picked up the phone and FaceTime/called/texted me upon reading last week’s Feel Angry Friday, and your fierce support. Even if you didn’t, thank…
Angry | Feel Good Friday 040221
This is not a feel good post. This is an angry post. This week, I came up against something that I have been fortunate enough to have avoided for 36 years: sexual assault. Let me be clear: “nothing” happened. As in, I was not assaulted. Or murdered. But I was skillfully manipulated, isolated, and put…
Checklist 53
Week whatever because I’ve skipped a few and also given up; we’re just numbering checklists here. Entertainment Listen to Ep 27 of Sacks and the City Pod! Feed & Wine Me I’ve mentioned Boxt before and still promise a full wine review, but just received my second delivery and they are still just killing the…
Baby’s New Tattoo
Not my first though! I always thought I’d get a memorial tattoo of Nali, but then wondered why wait? After months of instagram searching, I finally decided on magical artist Amanda Jo at Tiny Tats, a women-owned and -run studio in Hyde Park here in Austin. Close to my house, close to my heart, and…
