Reading Didier Eribon’s The Life, Old Age and Death of a Working Class Woman and Chantal Akerman’s My Mother Laughs finally motivated me put my thoughts out there: open.substack.com/pub/wellingt...
On average, women's pensions are 23% lower than men's in the OECD. This gap reflects both past gender inequalities in the labour market - gender gaps in career length, hours worked and hourly wages - and redistributive elements in the pension system that can compensate for those.

ok tell me does this exist: a progressive, inclusive school, child-led, where parents (with DBS check) are allowed to come for part of the day, where the staff are throughly, profoundly trained in how to work with neurodivergent children?

Another year of great success and company at the ESPAnet Annual Conference 👏🏼 already looking forward to the next one 🫰🏼 @keonhison.bsky.social Andrew Zola & @janhelmdag.bsky.social in the pics from their final session
Today we commemorate the 103rd anniversary of the Battle of Dumlupınar (30 August 1922), a defining moment in Turkish War of Independence. I honour with respect those who gave their lives and health for our homeland, & heroes who fought for freedom, led by Commander-in-Chief Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

A lot to be done but happy that I got to share it with the ESPAnet community 🫰🏼
So pleased with the feedback & recommendations. In this new work, I am exploring whether the childcare gap matters for maternal employment from a macro perspective using country-year panel data. Early findings suggest it matters for the intensity of employment rather than the overall choice of it.
Beautiful!!! Loved this 💙 thank you @laurenelkin.bsky.social

The quality of my phone’s camera is so poor it feels like I’ve taken these pics a decade ago
Unsure if it’s due to my prior ignorance or if London’s trees are in exceptional bloom this summer. Full of fruits causally weighing down every corner, quite amazing, really
❤️
How one should return to a place! 😎 congratulations!!
Thanks! All good—just annoyed!
Feels like phone snatching is a legit full time job in London. Someone took my phone from my hand this morning and threw it away after realising it’s an old one 🤷🏻♀️ quick loss and gain in seconds. very very disturbing
