Older male colleague: I sometimes wonder how women manage without having pockets.
Me: It's almost as if we have no choice but to manage and adapt because clothing manufacturers refuse to give us what we want.
Him: Plus you carry purses.
Me: Plus the patriarchy.

Being Too Helpful At Work Can Hurt Your CareerโHereโs How To Say No
Women are more likely to take on behind-the-scenes duties at workโextra tasks like onboarding or event planningโand it's hurting their careers. Here's how to say no.
In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

โi am running into a new yearโ by Lucille Clifton
i am running into a new year
and the old years blow back
like a wind
that i catch in my hair
like strong fingers like
all my old promises and
it will be hard to let go
of what i said to myself
about myself
when i was sixteen and
twenty-six and thirty-six
even thirty-six but
i am running into a new year
and i beg what i love and
i leave to forgive me
Lucille Clifton, always.

At the risk of reading too much into Blueskyโs success at the moment, I do think itโs a signal that people donโt want to be surrounded by bots and manipulated algorithms
AI can only go so far. We want human connection.
