I'd love to see a survey showing how often men are asked to take a middle seat vs. how often women are asked. I bet it's a ratio of like 1:99.

I was just at a conference where I was asked to take notes by another woman, even tho a younger man on my team is lower in rank. I really wanted to ask her why she didn’t ask the man to take notes. Luckily, I was asked to do something else so he ended up taking the notes. STILL

Well, I’m the opposite: all my care providers must be POC women. My optometrist is Ethiopian, my ophthalmologist is Indian, my GP is Vietnamese & my OB is Black. ALL WOMEN.

Respectfully, I don't think people, especially women who are single and childless, should be judged/defined by how productive they are to society/capitalism.

The culture of the institution is correlated with the culture of the geographical location. Can’t imagine Indiana has any cultural sensitivity or diversity. It’s the same at Vanderbilt - highly ranked yet super white supremacist bc it’s in Nashville
I was hurt today when a friend implied I was getting overpaid (& that I should consider a comms job in a HCOL city that paid $20k less) bc he was getting paid less than me for doing STEM work. I don’t agree that non-STEM jobs aren’t worth as much. We have valuable skills too!
Can’t stop 😭.
From Anna May Wong to Kieu Chinh in MASH/Joy Luck Club to Margaret Cho/American Girl to Crazy Rich Asians to EEAAO/Michelle Yeoh - we have traveled far as a diaspora, both geographically and historically, to get here.

Y'all, thanks for hanging with me today. I'm gonna drink some wine and probably go to sleep. I'll see you here for the 12th ballot.

My first ever Brazilian wax was by a trans woman in Bangkok in 2008. To this day, the most painless Brazilian wax I’ve ever had. She had amazing technique.
New Jersey has become the first state in the country to require public schools to teach media literacy to K-12 students as a way to combat misinformation, under legislation signed by Gov. Phil Murphy.
So many things here. I don’t even know where to start. I just don’t understand men. Like how does insecurity get THAT bad? There is no woman on earth that would ever say, “introduce me using my hobby.” But I’ve seen many men do this.
For the first time in history, President Biden has formally designated a week to honor educational institutions that serve Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander students.

Nearly 20 years later, we still take off our shoes at the airport because 3,000 Americans were killed in a terrorist attack.
100,000 Americans--and counting--have died in this crisis, but staying home and wearing a mask in public is considered too big a sacrifice to make.

I saw this posted on jobs at NREL and yet their comms office is still 90% yt women and 9% yt men. They seem to do it for HR to be able to check the DEI box ✅ and say they recruited widely when in fact the selection is still heavily biased.
10 days to go.
53,858,011 have already voted.
It's quite possible that by Monday evening, more people will have voted early in 2020 than the total number of votes for Trump in 2016: 62,984,828.

A common defense I hear is, “Well it’s an application that’s free. Anyone can apply. It’s just the luck of the draw.” NO, DUDE. Lots of us don’t even know about stuff to apply to, much less decision makers that can move our app to the top of the pile!
If you have to attend a certain college or have a certain internship or have a certain parent, it is a broken system, and so many people in positions of power in American politics are completely unwilling to have that conversation.
Criticizing Pope Francis for not being progressive enough is just completely missing the forest through the trees. He's calling upon every country to decriminalize homosexuality. We need to encourage that. We need to amplify that. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Listening to this article made me cry good tears. I loved it so much.
IMHO, naïveté isn’t necessarily a bad thing. And at best, it can be a feature and not a flaw. 💫 It’s rare to find a human over 30 who is earnest, authentic, and yes, naive.
Dear Sir,
We don’t know each other past a brief interaction, and in the event this finds you, wherever you are, tucked behind anonymity, I am hoping it may be of service in your walk with God.

I’m at a store buying sweatpants and there are identical sweatpants in the men’s and women’s sections, except the women’s don’t have pockets. This is the pantriarchy.
I think it’s really cool and progressive that people are making time to watch the men’s tournament. We don’t want them feeling left out. College basketball is for everyone, even men’s teams.

to review their policy on overpayments. Reminds me of the story they did on the FDA a few yrs ago.
After 60 Minutes reached out to the Social Security Administration, all the people we interviewed were told their debts would be waived. Social Security says it’s now reviewing its policies and procedures regarding overpayments.

I'm generally not a fan of Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican in his second term, but I greatly appreciate his empathy and common sense when it comes to trans rights.
Today, he vetoed a bill that would have banned gender-affirming care for kids and banned trans kids in sports.

Wow, what an awesome question! I've lost so many things that meant a lot to me, but I'd prolly look for a diamond ring I was gifted by a relative. It was v expensive, and I feel terrible for having lost it! I can't think abt it or else I get paralyzed by the guilt.
There was The Phone. It had its own place and aura in the home. If you didn't have internet--and most homes did not during the entire '90s--the phone was the only non-postage way of reaching people if you couldn't travel to see them or didn't want to.
The CBO has estimated the influx of new immigrants, documented and undocumented, will strengthen the U.S. economy by $7 TRILLION more over the next decade than without this labor force otherwise.

Controversial opinion: all medication is a band-aid. Solving the problem would require prevention, which is what we do in public health. Most doctors don’t care to understand that bc it would put them out of a lot of work.

My middle school Eng teacher, Ms. Turner, would not shut up about her crush, Troy Aikman. Every single class she'd mention him. He was playing for UCLA the same time she was a student there. (Go Bruins!) Eventually her students got her a life-size cutout of him for her classroom.
