The Skinny
Surreal sketch duo RóisÃn and Chiara experience teen cult classic Heathers for the very first time Feature by RóisÃn and Chiara | 02 Feb 2021
When we decided to watch
Heathers â a high school comedy from the late 80âs â we were expecting a pastel-hued, proto-
Mean Girls giggly snuggle fest. This seemed like suitable viewing for the grimmest month since the Visigoths invaded. What we werenât prepared for was a blood-soaked deconstruction of American capitalist society headed up by the aggressively cool Winona Ryder and strangely fit Christian Slater.

When I found out about
The Ex Talk, I absolutely had to read it (even though, as a rule, I don t love contemporary romances) because it s set at a Pacific Northwest public radio station. Office rivals Shay and Dominic she s a veteran producer, he s a cocky J-school grad who won t shut up about his master s degree end up having to pose as exes to host a new dating and relationships show for their struggling station. Naturally, they fall for each other.

“
Entrepreneur is a word I aspire to, but it’s not how I feel,” she says. “It sounds like someone who’s got their shit together. If this magazine was called
Human Foibles, I’d be perfect. Which is to say: If anyone else out there is struggling to get it all done, I relate.”
But she also can offer a simple coping mechanism, a habit she formed recently that’s helped keep her focused through a year of reinvention. Instead of obsessing over what she hasn’t gotten to, she lists out everything she
has accomplished. “We don’t often take inventory of what we’ve done it’s very much a to-do-list kind of world,” she says. “But once in a while, make an ‘I’ve done this’ list.”
