Why Are Christmas Films Obsessed With Rewarding Toxic Men For Bad Behaviour?

This year, the first seasonal movie I watched was Netflix’s Christmas rom-coms, Love Hard. It follows Natalie (Nina Dobrev), who travels 3,000 miles across America just before Christmas to surprise the man she has been virtually dating for the past few weeks. The twist? When she arrives, she realises that Josh (Jimmy O. Yang), her long-distance lover, has catfished her. Love Hard has so many of the things you want from a Christmas film: two very good-looking stars, an unsuspecting love interest, great one-liners. I mean, the protagonists even sing a version of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” that unpacks its misogynistic undertones. But when the film was over, I was left with a strange, unsatisfied feeling. It ends (and let me insert a hugely predictable *spoiler alert* here) with Josh and Natalie falling in love as she dismisses his identity fraud as though it were a silly argument about what to have for dinner. read more

I Ditched My “Standing” Jeans After Finding These Vintage Levi’s

Just as it is for many people, my relationship with denim is complicated. I’ve found jeans I loved, but none without flaws. I resonated deeply with the recent conversation around standing jeans on TikTok. I’ve always accepted that I have standing jeans that look great on, but are too tight for all-day sitting. And then oppositely, I have sitting jeans that I’m not obsessed with style-wise, but that are actually comfortable enough to sit in for hours on end. However, a new pair of jeans from The Consistency Project (TCP) completely reframed my thinking around the two categories. In short, sitting jeans can be just as fashion-forward while still maintaining their comfort levels. (Also, I now simply call them jeans.) read more

Wie du nach einer Gehaltserhöhung fragst — & sie auch bekommst

Skizziere deine Argumente und übe, übe, übe


Jetzt, wo du deine Anfrage vorbereitet hast, ist es an der Zeit, deine Gesprächspunkte zu skizzieren. Jacinto empfiehlt, eine visuelle Präsentation der Daten für deine Vorgesetzten zu erstellen. „Auf diese Weise können sie die Arbeit, die du machst, buchstäblich sehen, sie können sie visualisieren“, sagt sie. Wenn es dir aber unrealistisch erscheint, ins Büro deiner Vorgesetzten zu gehen und eine Diashow zu starten, kannst du auch eine Liste mit Argumenten vorlegen, die deutlich machen, warum du die beantragte Gehaltserhöhung bereits verdient hast. „Wenn du nicht vorbereitet bist, keine Argumente hast und nicht auf etwas verweisen kannst, wirst du leicht nervös und verkrampfst dich. Und dann haben deine Vorgesetzten die ganze Macht und können deine Bitten mühelos abwinken“, sagt sie. read more
