On this #InternationalWomensDay, I am especially thankful for the women I call my colleagues, coauthors, and friends in this profession… and for all those who continue to fight to make it a fair & inclusive space for us. 🚺

We lost my father to COVID on 12/28. His estate is due disaster relief from @fema. But we can't apply b/c his death certificate does not list COVID as a cause of death. Thank you to @tarasbernard & @nytimes for covering his (and others���) story. 1/

Why are my kids allowed back at school 5 days after testing positive when they eat lunch inside unmasked?! All the confusion is exhausting, RT@kerri_raissian.

[Kerri Raissian @kerri_raissian]

Got an email from kid’s school. 3 other moms and I *think* the kid goes to school tomorrow… but really… no idea. Can we at least have clear contact tracing emails!!!!???? PLEASE!!! And this might be me giving up for awhile.

RT @kimannbender: This is really encouraging to hear!

Struggling into the first faculty meeting of the new year, and our Dean, @AMooreMcBride, charges us with… “doing the bare minimum and finding things that give us joy�� to get through these times. I feel so seen. Systems can prioritize wellness over productivity when they want to.

COVID led to increased gender disparities in publishing, particularly among more junior cohorts of women. "Our findings suggest that the first wave of the pandemic has created potentially cumulative advantages for men."

Excited to read this paper by a friend and colleague Ericka Lewis, @drblemmons and M. Woolley!

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Most of Congress doesn't bat an eye when it comes to giving $768,000,000,000 to the Pentagon, but when it comes to building a social safety net that actually supports people?

Now you say we don't have the money.

When we say poverty is a policy choice, this is what we mean.

[Kerri Raissian @kerri_raissian]

We must not look away. Instead look to action.

[Lindsey Bullinger @lindsbullinger]

And please don’t say “you exist?!” when seeing them at the holiday party. If you only knew what it took for me to be standing there in that moment you’d be giving me a standing ovation. I am so so done with this semester. And this pandemic.

[Frog and Toad Bot @FrogandToadbot]

'We look brave,' said Frog.

'Yes, but are we?' asked Toad.

[Frog and Toad Bot @FrogandToadbot]

'This house is a mess. I have so much work to do,' said Toad.

Frog looked through the window. 'Toad, you are right,' said Frog. 'It is a mess.'

Toad pulled the covers over his head.

Why do mothers choose to “step back” from the labour market?

Does this reflect biology and innate preferences?

Or are their husbands’ jobs inflexible, inhibiting shared care giving?

When husbands' jobs are flexible, mothers earn more! https://t.co/APlE9xf3PS JMP,

[Kathryn Anne Edwards @keds_economist]

Whenever there is a policy proposed to help children, there's a knee-jerk discussion of what kind of employment effect it will have on parents.

You might think that's a reasonable question, but it's one that often lacks perspective or any sense of proportion.

Imagine living in a county where you have a 1 in 5 chance of being raped, where ownership of a gun is valued more than of your own body, where someone can be sued for helping you access reproductive healthcare… oh, wait. The U.S. for women in 2021. #RoeVWade #WomensRights

[Jillian Gilchrest @JillianG_CT]

While it feels like the U.S. is imploding for women, I’m proud to live and work in CT! Georgetown released a report ranking each U.S. state from best to worst for women. Shoutout to CT for ranking second in the nation!! You can read the full report here: https://t.co/SMF28nGKqW

What authorities deem "risk of harm to children" is socially constructed, example 2793857
