There are many causes in this sad world that need our attention, but I give to @mtholyoke because I'm grateful for the community it gave me that persists nearly 20 years later.

Very interested in the implications of this research. I think the reason why women are reluctant to publicly express their opinion on workplace gender discrimination is the same reason they might not report it: patriarchy!

[Gradient Metrics @gradientmetrics]

Yesterday was #InternationalWomensDay, and while we honor and celebrate women, we also think it's important to highlight the continued gender wage gap, in addition to other disparities. Women in the workplace are also more likely to be the targets of sexual harassment, are offered fewer leadership opportunities, and have to pleasantly nod when their creepy boss asks if they’re planning on having kids anytime soon.

To find out what Americans really think about gender inequality in the workplace, we designed a list experiment. You can see the results 👇.

Even though a majority of both men and women publicly agree that employees in America are, generally speaking, treated differently on the basis of gender, women are significantly more likely to agree (64% vs. 58%, respectively). However, private opinions do not differ dramatically: roughly half of all men and women agree with the statement privately (52% and 48%, respectively).

To be continued...

Great @Safeway sales technique: Tell the obviously sad, single (and maybe slightly tipsy) girl wandering baked goods that the 20 count cookies are buy one, get one. Your move, @Safeway.

@atarbuck @giacbelloli Dr. Tarbuck, are you getting married???

[Sarah W. Binns @swbinns]

If you’d told me ten years ago I’d one day buy booze created by all three lead actors from my beloved #VampireDiaries I would’ve said, “Duh! But I can’t afford it.” Happy to be wrong. 😆 #brothersbondbourbon #freshvine

I CANNOT BE PREGNANT. I HAVE NOT HAD SEX WITH A MAN IN 2+ years. And no IVF either. #believeallwomen

[Sarah W. Binns @swbinns]

When you’re a gay lady and haven’t had sex with a man in 2+ years and at your IUD installation they say “this is standard,” it’s not about babies, it’s about not trusting women. #BelieveWomen

It's 75 and sunny here in Portland today... I smell BBQ already!

[Gradient Metrics @gradientmetrics]

What makes a great #BBQ? Check out our trusty #conjoint chart that holds all the answers! Anyone else surprised hot dogs aren't more popular? 😱🌭 #DataAnalytics #DataScience

[Sarah W. Binns @swbinns]

Most everything is terrible, but thanks @melanielynskey for your frank, insightful @vulture interview. You're an icon to this queer!

[Sarah W. Binns @swbinns]

Are #hashtags really dead? Even in the marketing world? I beg to differ, but there are so many stories out there. Tell me yours!

1/ Happy Friday the 13th, how's your #cryptocurrency faring? 😱 We joke (although if you're really in trouble, our thoughts are with you), but we're here to remind you of other things people believe in, even if they can't see them: 👻. #FridayThe13th #Cryptocrash

[Sarah W. Binns @swbinns]

I'm sure this has been said before, but I liked #TheHandmaidsTale better when it was a book.

Who is the most powerful superhero? If you're like most Americans you'll say Superman—by a wide margin.

On National Superhero Day we honor the world's *real* superheroes, including our past partner @ChanZuckerberg, and more. Thanks for your work fostering justice and equity.

What did I learn this week? Technically, it's daylight savING time, not daylight savINGS time. I love my job. #wingardiumleviOsa #notwingardiumlevioSA

[Gradient Metrics @gradientmetrics]

(2/5) In fact, 64% of Americans prefer daylight saving time (more sun in the evening) over standard time (more sun in the morning). Below are some of their reasons. Do you prefer DST or standard time? Why?

[Sarah W. Binns @swbinns]

@Librarianjoe @matthewjdowd Agreed; sexual predation "jokes" are unnecessary, regardless of who makes them.

It's National Puppy Day. Meet our Ramona.
