@annabroges Congratulations! I'd love to connect with you to pitch a piece on the place of eating disorders in mental health discourse. Let me know if you're interested, and have a great week!
Loved, loved, loved putting together this piece on the mothers of Irish folklore for @ShamrockGift!
Skip to number six to read my favorite entry on this list: a few words on Fionn's extremely terrific lesbian foster mothers. (And then read the rest, of course!)
An early happy Mother's Day to all the Irish mums out there! In Irish folklore, mothers have had a powerful hand in how the Irish understand the concept of motherhood today.

If you’re a CEO and your employees aren't performing, that’s on you.
Solving it comes down to 3 things:
1. Take the blame
2. Communicate better
3. Tell them they’re not executing at the level you’re hoping for. Then ask, “what can I do to help?”
Then actually start helping.
The world is scary.
Don't shy away from reading the scary things. They're important.
But it's also important to temper the scary with wonder and joy and hope.
What I'm saying is, you should take two minutes today to read about owl-duck friendship.
One of my favorite things about spoken #language is how easily we can use it to hack our own head space.
Personal example: I absolutely cannot utter the words "I will pitch a fit" without cracking a smile. Significantly lowers the chances of a fit being pitched.
If someone shares an achievement, go out of your way to say “well done”.
If you like someone’s outfit or work, make sure you give them the compliment.
A few kind words can change someone’s day. With all the negative comparisons and bullying online, we could use more kindness.
Congratulations to Katie Bouman to whom we owe the first photograph of a black hole ever. Not seeing her name circulate nearly enough in the press.
Amazing work. And here’s to more women in science (getting their credit and being remembered in history) 💥🔥☄️
@eemscully Tried doing this for a week when I was in college. I had zero idea how underrepresented we were in online academic resource hubs, and it is NOT for lack of material. 🙃
Consider this, for a day, a week, or (gasp!) a month. Read only work written by women. All women - all ethnicities, all LGBTQ, all of us - but only us. Then let me know what you learn, what you see, what you're questioning. Can you?
