Almost lost my shit this evening solo parenting my newborn and 7 year old. To all those flying solo every day you have my utmost respect. #maternityleave
You're telling me that we have Democrats in the majority in Congress and the White House and we can't do paid family leave-- a policy with 80% bipartisan voter support, one that every other industrialized country has already figured out?? https://t.co/BM3e1pqdkU
“The question is not whether U.S. workers will need time away from work—it’s whether this is the year Congress will ensure that #PaidLeave is available when they do.”

Imagine relying on 1980s tech to solve today’s challenges. That’s what kids w/ cancer are facing. We’re joining @CureSearch this Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in highlighting the need for new treatments #CCAM#Not1989Anymore#CureSearch https://t.co/KWZY4iGB7P
Today I was forced to ‘resign’ from the ABC instead of returning to work from maternity leave. Resignation infers a degree of choice, of which I had none. Management would no longer allow flexibility around childcare hours available to me: 12-hour days between 6.30am and 6.30pm.
