Trump's comments about disabled FAA employees aren't just immoral - they're factually inaccurate Disabled people are routinely seen as incompetent, but evidence suggests we make teams *better* Me for @ThePersistent_ thepersistent.com/washington-dc-…

Parents shouldn't have to shoulder the mental load of childrearing alone. And AI can provide some respite for the overburdened. Here are five ways to use ChatGPT to make parenting easier, according to @NewAmerica / @BetterLifeLab fellow Haley Swenson. thepersistent.com/how-to-use-cha…

1/ @EllenJovin, of New York’s Upper West Side, is a grammarian: a self-described grammar nerd who relishes conversations and, indeed, debates, with anyone—family, friends, strangers—about the wide and wonderful world of language.
An editor's note from @FrancescaDonner: thepersistent.com/election-2024-…
@emmahaslett interviewed Jessica Valenti in a powerful Q&A this week for @ThePersistent_: thepersistent.com/us-presidentia… #womensrights #womensissues #gender #infertility #abortion
How angry should women voters be? The journalist @JessicaValenti chronicles the pro-life movement in her new book and, ahead of the election, Jessica says, voters need to get angry.
@ThePersistent_'s @JosieCox_NYC is, by all definitions, a runner. But she also has to protect herself from running too much. And that’s why this year when people ask her if she’s running the NYC marathon (which inevitably they will), she’ll say no.
Did you know the New York City marathon is this Sunday? Five boroughs; 50,000 participants; 26-something-something miles. But this piece is not a story about running. It’s actually a story about not running.

The societal conditioning that penalises women for self-promotion while rewarding men for the same is a frustrating reality, but the call to action here is powerful. We can take control of this narrative, starting with owning our achievements without apology.
Because self-promotion is hard, it turns out. As women, we are told to “lean in”, to “girlboss”, to “speak out”. But none of it is that easy. Read more: thepersistent.com/self-promotion… #SelfPromotion #WomenAtWork #GenderBias
Because though 55% of ministers in the country are women, just 6.1% of women go to college. What’s going on? @gbmichigan1 investigates. thepersistent.com/rwanda-educati… #Rwanda #education #girlsinSTEM
Growing up in Kigali, Peace Ndoli Iraguha was tenacious and smart. When she started university, there was a surprise: hardly any women.
