MotherOFirebees argh I used to love that song but now I just listen to it again and see if I have to hate it.
-
MotherOFirebees I kinda always took it to be a sad song about someone you used to be close with but have lost touch with.
-
MotherOFirebees ahh okay. I listen to it and think about the exes that i miss that intimacy with but we don't have it because infeasible.
-
MotherOFirebees like it is very hard to have a moderate relationship with someone you were everything with.
-
MotherOFirebees yeah :(

I am in the queue for the Eiffel Tower!!! Have not been up it before. So excited!!!
-
I do not see anyone else here by themselves. I guess it is kinda a romantic thing? I have done a lot of "romantic" things by myself.
-
But imo there are few things less "romantic" than waiting for someone else before you live your life.

"…Elisabeth Greffuhle's gowns are the books she never wrote, and the canvases she never painted… her ensembles are mirrors."
-
I am in an exhibit of her clothes, which are extraordinary. No pictures allowed though, sadly. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89lisabeth,_Countess_Greffulhe
-
"The countess is remembered in the heavy folds of a velvet skirt and in the empty waist of a corset ravaged by time."
-
"They reflect the disappearing world and society she embodied."
-
"The fragile fabric of these gowns without their body creates a more intimate, vulnerable portrait."
-
"She-the fashionable woman-is only interested in fashion so that she does not need to follow it because she is the fashion." ~Elisabeth G
-
Rough translation of part of a letter from Proust "she is hard to judge, without doubt, because to judge is to compare".
-
She was a supporter of Marie Curie and various artists/literary figures. I am fascinated by how historical women wielded influence & power.
-
"You claimed… that a photograph fixed and halted a woman's beauty. But isn't that the beauty of it, to eternally record a radiant moment?"
-
On mirrors, "Countess Greffulhe appropriated the trend for herself in an original way, featuring two different poses."
-
"By symbolically multiplying her presence, she created an imaginary space in which she evokes only herself."
-
TrellaBondy oh there is a mini Statue of Liberty around here somewhere.
-
flamelinks thanks for sharing that!

BeerOps I LOVE that you are filtering things by asking to be compensated :) I do this too!
-
I never thought about it before but innovation in luggage was heavily influenced by innovation in transport. Which makes a lot of sense.

Cattelan's enormous creepy mobile @ the Guggenheim remains one of the best exhibits I've ever seen; I am always happy to be reminded of it.
-
r343l yeah a bit, but it's my 3rd exhibit of the day and I am a bit worn out, also all in French... Which was fine for 1! But now - tired.
-
perrowcommamike things have gone downhill since you left, I keep tapping on "navigate" from walking directions, getting driving directions.

IrlNoah and bonus my hair looks better now

callmewuest IrlNoah haha :)
-
epsalon when I speak I get flights, also travel for work now, although team remote and before that I took longer trips (can still do this)
-
epsalon ~3 weeks in an Airbnb is comparable to 5 nights in a nice hotel. When I stay in hotels I am good at getting deals.
-
epsalon also I don't pay rent or tax. So that helps. I existed this year on 2-3 kGBP/month.
-
epsalon probably <45k USD total. Which is barely a year's rent in a 1 bed apt in SF :)
-
epsalon also! As a European I don't have to pay for health insurance. Well I have it, but it's ~500 GBP/year. ~750 USD.
-

The woman who asked me how I liked the hotel got a lengthy rant which ended in "And no conditioner! 4* hotels should have conditioner!"
-
It was mostly in French but then I forgot the word for conditioner which destroyed my rhythm.
-
Pretty sure word for conditioner is "after shampoo" which is ridiculous. I condition my hair after sleeping. Before swimming. During even.
-
Also forgot the word for sheets so my first complaint initially "and the curtains kept falling off the bed". Complaints 2-5 okay though.
-
sundress googles over the top!
-
sundress also I got this swim cap that is aesthetically unappealing but stays on. Was a forced buy in a hotel in Portugal.
-
NeoNacho my hair is very needy.
-
sundress I think it is the material. I would never have bought it. But it's great!
-
sundress it's looser and elasticated at the bottom. Kinda like lower quality swimsuit material? But maybe a bit thinner?
-
sundress no. I wet my hair first tho and it, and out conditioner in
-
sundress put conditioner in
-
sundress soak hair, soak hat, add conditioner to hair, put hat on

dianakimball sferik yay!! You made it! 💜🌉🇺🇸
-
So far this exhibit is everything I hoped. Includes male nudes (a subversive act at the time), and a room full of selfies! Even abstrelfies.
-
Also (I paraphrase) quote from woman saying women better at photographing in color because have the habit of using color on face/hair.

(I haven't seen the movie inception, my understanding is: it is about getting very confused and then dying)
-
RT pdrgabriel: catehstn ahn, close enough
-
sdarlington I don't really like movies about death, and I am ambivalent about confusion.
-
To get back to the exhibit! There is also a room full of selfies whilst they are photographing. Which is about claiming space in field.
-
This reminds me of #iamdoingprogramming and I conclude: in tech our every feminist act is derivative, because the field is so far behind.

I know I said killing postcards in favor of wherethehelliscate.com but it takes time to kick a habit so I bought one for my adored Petunia.
-
And also a small prop that I feel would help her in a bid for Instagram stardom, should she decide that is the path she wants.
-
When addressing a postcard to a hedgehog do you say "and associated humans" or "and family"?
-
danshapiro I feel like there is some kind of word joke here you will be disappointed if I don't make.

I am always surprised when men comment on my blog with unsolicited advice. Even if I wanted advice, what makes them so sure from them?

Fellow women in tech, how many mentoring requests do you get a month? Also interested in how you respond.
-
I get 2-4. I handle in 3 main ways. The first is saying no - anything pipeline or where my main qualification is I used to work for Google.
-
2) I reply explaining why their request is bad. I wrote about this (no one responds to these emails). catehuston.com/blog/2015/11/23/advice-mentors-and-questionably-helpful-emails/
-
3) I reply with some initial thoughts and resources and invite them to follow up. Almost no one replies to these emails either.
-
The net result: I get a lot of requests, most of which aren't followed up on. As a result I try to minimize time spent on the first email.
-
This ask just re-enforces my view that we are still selling mentoring as a panacea but not helping people figure out what they want.
-
It occurs to me of the 4 mentoring requests I fielded this week the 2 I feel most optimistic are where friends intro'd me with specific ask.
-
er1p yeah maybe. My impression is that people don't put enough thought into the first one to be honest. And if someone needs time to think…
-
er1p "thank you I need time to think about this" is a reasonable response (I use this).
-
NeoNacho you take an even dimmer view of humanity than I do.
-
Happier note, also found in inbox this week: a beautiful thank you note, which reminded me why I make time for those I think will value it.
-
NeoNacho haha you should
-
er1p yeah I am not willing to try that experiment although I take your point, I might also not get any replies.
-
er1p also I do not think asking for specific questions is that high a bar to pass. Although feedback on how suggestions went takes time.

SHaug also did you show her Jo_Miller/686067650670166020
-
Eulerizeit arghhhrhh please don't give me new things to worry about. Surely the windows not shutting will keep me safe?!?
-
SHaug I hear sun is rare in your city.
-
SHaug poor tuna i think you underestimate her. her ears look exceptionally cute today. Please pass on my complements.
-
SHaug and also one of The Last Postcards from Paris.
-
SHaug it's SO SUNNY here and I found an enormous green apple all lit up when I was roaming at night.
-
SHaug yeah but rainbows! they are surely more than just visuals. rainbows and sparkles and happiness.
-
Ai there is a periodic terrifying noise which sounds like something being sawed.
-
This place is terrifying. I have to stay somewhere smaller next time. It's bigger than bluetooth range and there are so many cupboards.
-
r343l yay
-
mkflint yes and I owe you a postcard! But there is no mail here. I will post it from NYC.
-
ecarrion89 awwwh you are lovely :)
-
webwright tony I don't know what any of these things are 😭
-
webwright a man is coming to rescue me the last time a man rescued me I couldn't buy phone credit in Santiago. Then he hugged me.
-
webwright I allowed it because he wasn't physically unappealing. Especially post rescue which I think explains rom coms.
-
IrlNoah good luck honey! Will be thinking of you!
-
webwright I think I met this one yesterday. I do not want him to hug me.
-
webwright maybe I will try and find an elmo in NYC next week although everyone seems opposed to that idea.
-
webwright lol I haven't seen a high grant movie in forever. I think I thought Rupert Everett was hotter.
-
Agua caliente por favor!! Soy frío! Muerte! ❗️🚿🔥🛌
-
(A man is here possibly rescuing me. So far he has kissed me, asked about my boyfriend, and borrowed my glasses)
-
I need an imaginary boyfriend please make up some characteristics for him Twitter and explain why he is not here.
-
I would but I used up my imagination catastrophizing.
-
karamcnair no?
-
Woah y'all are doing a lot better than "he is busy pretending to be Elmo in Times Square".
-
zenparty anywhere between 2 minutes and 2 days
-
Another man has arrived. The terrible sawing noise has been resolved. Windows closed. Gas turned on. Still no agua caliente.
-
gembarrett they are fuzzy I just want one to stroke my hair and tell me everything will be okay. I am willing to pay for this service.
-
gembarrett general consensus is bad idea because murder / bed bugs. People have been p opposed.
-
gembarrett yeah I will be back in NYC next week I will try and get one of my friends to come with me. Still - bed bugs.
-
gembarrett I have an approximation in Seattle. Not as fuzzy tho.
-
gembarrett my understanding is shakey but I gather that everything fuzzy in NYC has bed bugs not just the beds.
-
gembarrett I am in Medellin right now but if you wanna come down you are so welcome lol. In NYC sat-thur.
-
gembarrett awesome!

Eulerizeit lol adopted kids lol husband lol emotional capacity for multiple humans lol lol lol

The second man has diagnosed the problem and the first has gone to buy a standard AA battery. Being domesticated is so hard.
-
Eulerizeit hahaha
-
And my test is only kind of working and I am too tired to fix it now 😱
-
Eulerizeit is the husband beating the boyfriend? Vice versa?
-
Eulerizeit I don't think I understand and I am not sure I want to. Are these ponies... Human?
-
Eulerizeit yikes
-
Eulerizeit yes that could not go wrong in a catholic, Spanish speaking country where I am by myself.
-
There will be no hot water tonight. I will have another cold shower. 🚿❄️☠⚰
-
Stay tuned tomorrow for another episode of "Cate tries to be domesticated in Colombia".
-
Argh someone rang the doorbell and I didn't answer but now I am totally freaked out and just barricaded the door with all the chairs.
-
Luckily there are a lot of chairs. Should I add a glass coffee table? I need to be sure it will make a lot of noise so I can sleep.
-
dbentley nope I don't really know how Elmo talks tbh I just know he is fuzzy
-
How do you even barricade tbh I don't know. I just lined them all up. I cannot live in such a large place without hot water by myself.
-
plragde I had a cold shower
-
Taking an implement from the kitchen back to bed with me. It's dirty, but I am not planning on cooking with it.
-
r343l the guy has a key?
-
r343l I don't know hence the panic !
-
gembarrett yeah it's not a big handle and the chairs are the wrong height.
-
gembarrett I put 5 chairs there grabbed a knife from the kitchen locked the bedroom door and brought my phones in for once. Hopefully okay.
-
bydefault_tv yikes!
-
gembarrett ooh yes I will think of that next time!
-
gembarrett omg lol

So my post from ages ago about bystanders has been making the rounds again. It's time I told y'all a little story. catehuston.com/blog/2014/12/31/sigh/
-
The event that inspired me to write it was finding the word "whore" in a design doc by some guy who thought it was lolsy.
-
His manager had commented "sigh" several months previously. This was a big project. A LOT of people had looked at that document.
-
No one has spoken up. I didn't either, I'd learned my lesson about talking to hr (specifically: don't do it). I sent it to a friend who did.
-
I heard something happened to the guy who wrote the comment. But I always thought his managers behaviour was more disappointing.
-
I had just come back from a 2 month break after being super burnt out by a number of things but also the worst manager I ever had.
-
(He was also a bystander. And used to regularly gaslight and outright lie to me. Stand up guy, really.)
-
Fellow managers, we have more responsibility not to let this shit slide in front of us. It's hard to call stuff out but it only gets harder.
-
And I tell you what: I am tired of seeing brilliant women I know driven out because stuff happens and their teammates just keep quiet.
-
It feels really shitty to be publicly diminished or erased or harassed and watch people you used to respect say nothing. Be better.
-

I love owls and danshapiro and look!!! Combined!!!!! Greatest owl selfies of all time!! danshapiro/691189982237577217
-
r343l I did! But it was not me that tweeted the pictures although I confess I am happy to have them because OWLS danshapiro
-
mkflint the owl was probably a much greater loss?
-
I suspect last night was a weird intro to playing games because it featured so many internet famous game creators.
-
Anyway I think I conclude that games are clever and manipulative in a way I appreciate but do not personally enjoy.
-
Especially when there is yelling omg.
-
r343l yeah they were I just found it super stressful.
-
r343l danshapiro I did tell max about the existence of the pictures 😱
-
r343l yes!!! I was struck by that. It's cool!

I love hedgehogs a completely normal amount and the requests I make of my bestie SHaug are entirely reasonable.
-
SHaug !!!!!!!! Love LOVE love LOVE love LOVE love
-
willsmith danshapiro there are very few people I could have played bad guy with. Maybe only the one, actually.
-
Well the good news is 1) I can sleep as long as I want and 2) presumably one of the people who run my life will deal with it.
-
The bad news is 1) for the 2nd time in 2 years I am snowed into NYC, 2) there will be no coconut lemonade tomorrow.
-
Avianca my flight is cancelled and you haven't rebooked me. Can you tell me how I go about getting on another flight please?!
-
I am never coming back to NYC in January or February again. Apparently I have to go to the airport?! And speak to a human?!?
-
At least I like one of these things.
-

-
Well to everyone who didn't think I could be still for 32 days: you have already been proven right.
-
Thwarted on the first supposed day of stillness. 31 is still in play tho! I can do it! Believe in me!
-
roidrage 💜💜💜💜💜
-
stillinbeta there are grocery stores! Idk how prevalent vegan food is. I have been having a hard time not eating cheese.
-
Still no plane ticket and I came to airport to find Avianca and they are closed. It looks like I'm going to have to live in JFK forever.
-
stillinbeta I've done weirder things
-
I accidentally a new life as an airport mole-person. Admittedly I have trained for this moment. But I wish I had got to choose the airport.
-
juliaferraioli r343l I cannot live here! Your country does not welcome my kind!
-
NeoNacho 💔
-
The train stopped running and the replacement busses appear to be imaginary. My plan is to walk to terminal 7, beg AirCanada to rescue me.
-
SHaug omg so cute
-
After all of that AirCanada have gone and there is nothing for it. Now I live in JFK and this is not what I hoped for from life.
-
"Starbucks and sobbing" it's like "Netflix and chill" but not because you are all alone and live in an airport now.
-
sara_ann_marie I made it!! Taking a cab back to hotel :/

-
Avianca that would have been really helpful information to share on your website when it wouldn't let me check in last night.
-
Okay the end is in sight for the dramatic story of Cate the Airport Mole Person. I have a plane ticket out of this terrible place tonight.
-
sundress work!!!! Although maybe some food first.
-
NatDudley i have a plane ticket out of here. So better than 2 hours ago! ;) you?

Is it normal to be hungrier than usual at altitude? Is it just that I have to climb a hill every time I go and forage?
-
Is it because I didn't manage to eat regular meals most of last 2 weeks? Or because I was allergic to something earlier? WHY AM I HUNGRY.
-
Being human is so inefficient.
