Pay transparency laws seemed like a win, but employers try to skirt the laws with pay ranges so large that they are meaningless. A new study from Cornell shows the unintended consequences of pay transparency laws on women's earning potential www.thepersistent.com/these-laws-w...

100% of the posts I’ve seen offering help in the face of SNAP cuts have been from women. Women are more likely than men to donate to charity, and when they give, they give a larger % of their income than men. My latest for @thepersistent.bsky.social about mom mutual aid

When The Government Shutdown Came For SNAP, Women Stepped Up to Help

On Saturday, 42 million Americans are set to lose crucial food support. A grassroots mutual aid movement fueled by moms is springing into action.

Today alone there have been no fewer than 10 posts in the mom groups I'm in asking for or offering food assistance for the impending EBT/SNAP benefits ending. Moms helping moms feed their kids while the government builds ballrooms and buys jets. just saying.

In all the (justified) uproar about the East Wing demolition @lizaboyd.bsky.social noted that the East Wing was the home of the Office of the First Lady and that by tearing it down, it's another of the administration's efforts to reduce the visibility of women across the board.

“I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.” These stories show what happens when it’s the other way around. Great and necessary series

Think of how much has happened since March 2020 when millions of employees started working from home. After over 4 years of an endless string of debates about if, how, and when employees should return to office (RTO) why are we STILL debating it? I offer a few thoughts:

Today's Pressing Questions is: How do I get people to respond to my emails? By some estimates, the average office worker gets 120 emails a day. Here's my advice on how to write an email that will get a response:
