That extra fee at the grocery store for a plastic shopping bag isn’t just an inconvenience –– it is actually making a difference for marine ecosystems, according to a new study. cnn.it/4le6Y1q

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need:

-Paid family leave
-Equal pay
-Universal childcare

(But get your mom flowers, too)

Do elections get more stressful and less fun as you get older or is this another one of those unprecedented times situations?

At this juncture I’d like to point out:
* we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing
* there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world
* a united approach could stop the climate crisis
But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

A silly bug fix but put up my first PR since returning from parental leave today and it felt so good 💪🏻👩‍💻

Going back to work on Thursday and need to remember what having an adult conversation is like. Twice in the last week I have caught myself going into detail about my son’s poops to people who reeeeally didn’t want to know 😬

We have moved into the stage of parenting where I no longer have to be on the floor playing with toys to entertain my son, but I can literally never take my eyes off of him or else he will be out the front door. We are tired 🥱

There is no better feeling on this entire planet than your child falling asleep on you

My friend invited me to go see Wicked this weekend. I decided to be candid and say that, while I don’t have plans, I am upset about my son starting full days at day care and I want to soak in my time with him. She asked me how she could support me through the transition (♥️). Don’t stop sending 🧵 1/2

Having a child is like the Grinch learning the true meaning of Christmas. They don’t replace anyone in your heart, your heart just grows three sizes to accommodate them ♥️
a cartoon says that the grinch 's small heart grew 3 sizes that day

Disappointed, but unfortunately not surprised at the news coming out of #COP29

My last official day of parental leave is tomorrow and I am emotionally devastated. Today, my husband said “I know you are sad, but think of all that you accomplished in the last year”. He listed off about ten huge changes and said “you did all that, beautifully. Be sad, but be proud too” 🥹

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size.

At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

My #CoStar horoscope told me today that I would “forget how computers work”. This is exceptionally problematic news for a web developer…
