This afternoon in TIME MAGAZINE, @mariannecooper.bsky.social and I discuss why 300,000 Black women leaving the workforce is bad for the economy, bad for society, and bad for you. In the piece, we argue that Black women are the canaries in the coalmine and why ignoring #TheDoubleTax harms us all.

Rising Unemployment Among Black Women Is a Bad Economic Sign

"Black women are the canary in the coal mine on the health of the economy," write Cooper and Opoku-Agyeman.

I always love those lists of "35 under 35," but as I get older, I find that I would love to know about innovations/art from people over 65. "65 over 65" please. Elders have incredible ideas that are the result of having seen the full lifecycle of previous ideas and learned from it.

Over 300K Black women have lost their jobs. That's a huge story with wild consequences for the economy. Your first priority as a progressive org should be to hire some goddamn Black women.

I often think about Imani Perry saying “I’m not surprised but I am horrified.” That really is it.

I saw a tiktok where a woman's best friend gave her an opened bag of her favorite chips for her bday but the entire bag was folded chips, the woman's favorite. Double favorite. Curated a whole snack experience for her girl 🥹

this pride month, remember that some ppl are gay, but not queer. queer as a political identity and worldview means something very different.

A ‘snafu’ is a situation marked by errors or confusion. ‘Snafu’ comes from WW2 and is an acronym for “Situation Normal, All F*cked Up.” Yes, really.
