The fault @ the heart of #GirlBoss feminism and white feminism more broadly: if the goal is simply matching the success of white men without reimagining the world that privileged it in the first place, the whole enterprise is a dead end ⁦@annehelen⁩ open.substack.com/pub/annehelen/…

@jen_savage BAHAHAHAHAHAHA

@reedthurston CLASSIC

We organize shows around *your* work quandaries, whatever they are, which you can always submit here: crooked.com/podcast-series… Especially looking for Qs related to flex/working from home, parental leave (cmon dads, all the current Qs are from moms)

- How do you finagle meeting culture when half your team is across the globe and there's really only 1-2 hours of overlap (& everyone wants to be involved!) - Managers who've become overzealous with cutting meetings that are actually essential

Addressed in this ep: - How can staff lead from below to regain some breathing space back? - Convincing coworkers that we should just keep going in the direction of fewer work updates and more *just doing our work*

This week's WORK APPROPRIATE is all about *meeting culture* — aka, when your org's solution to everything is to call a meeting.....and some actual solutions to back-to-back-to-back meetings (even if you're not a manager) crooked.com/podcast/meetin…

adding onto the debt story and the shift of higher ed work to grad students story: @annehelen's latest newsletter notes 63% of grad degrees are now conferred on women. annehelen.substack.com/p/why-are-whit… twitter.com/louise_seamste…

@roxana_hadadi LOVE this movie

@Sociopathblog Ah right aka the Southern Democrats who went Republican over the course of the '70s-90s

Can anyone explain this Yuval Levin analysis (paraphrased by David French) to me (with the understanding that I do know who George Wallace is)

@_julietownley Wow wow wow (recorded pre-pandemic 2020, wild to think about!)

@_julietownley Where did I say this, I forgot!!!

@rycrmml @RichardvReeves @ezraklein just to be clear, the piece is not about revenge in the slightest. it argues that we should re-imagine these systems utterly

"If you don’t live here, it’s easy to ignore the politicking of Middle America; to dismiss red states as getting what they deserve. But doing so ignores the way parts of Middle America and elsewhere have been gerrymandered into democracy deserts." lyz.substack.com/p/men-yell-at-…

"Not allowed" bugs the absolute fucking crap out of me twitter.com/ZSharf/status/…

@ingrid_kristi I'd love to have a question about this so we can talk more about it! You can submit one here, if that feels okay (you can be as anonymous as you'd like): crooked.com/podcast-series…

@bekkijean I just interviewed her for this week's episode! (About meetings). You'll love it: crooked.com/podcast/meetin… (I love Christina)

We're doing an upcoming episode of WORK APPROPRIATE on problems to do with hybrid/remote work. I've read a ton of people on this subject but want a new voice as a co-host. Who are you reading or listening to in general future-of-work area?

A man named Jacob Garlick bought the Flatiron Building at a public auction last week. This week he just… didn’t make the downpayment for it. This situation is the funniest thing in the world to me right now. Jacob why did you do that!!!!! hellgatenyc.com/some-guy-bough…

@DKThomp @RichardvReeves @ezraklein @LDamour oh this is REALLY interesting

@RichardvReeves @ezraklein Thank you for reading! I feel like we could have a really interesting conversation teasing this out more

What if they’ve never really had to cultivate ambition because a modicum of success was, by some measure, their birthright? What if the “decline” of men’s ambition is just less unquestioned access to power and privilege? annehelen.substack.com/p/why-are-whit…

There's a whole constellation of data that points to the idea that men, and white men in particular, are losing ambition — "drifting." But what if men have never really been ambitious? annehelen.substack.com/p/why-are-whit…

Idaho -- which has a near-total abortion ban in effect -- just declined to expand postpartum Medicaid coverage. From @KelcieMMorris: newsfromthestates.com/article/idaho-…

No seriously, I want some analysis here

A reminder that the very concept of denying criminals the right to vote was invented by the state of Virginia explicitly in the name of white supremacy: twitter.com/Taniel/status/…

@j_bot true true true

I do feel like there's now something vaguely Blue Lives Matter about Pepsi (basing this on vibes here, don't @ me) but when I was young Pepsi was blue and blue was the color of Dems (also Trump drinks Coke just saying)
