The DIY Scientist, the Olympian, and the Mutated Gene: “Something was “terribly wrong,” as she put it, but she didn’t even bother to tell her parents about it. Other people went to doctors and got solutions. That had never happened for Jill, so she started looking for answers on her own, the way a kid would.”
It took me 20 years to get any answers but my medical journey was far less interesting and revelatory.
I don’t miss pregnancy, PUPPs, or being unable to touch my toes. I don’t miss missing sleep, or having that mildly insane moment when I think “we’re never going to survive this”, or the tantrums we were having twice a day like clockwork last week. I don’t miss wondering things like Mrs Frugalwoods’ “surely five-year-olds can pull up their own pants and don’t walk around with their bums hanging out“. But I do miss my 12-20 month old something fierce. I adore this child with every fiber of my being, except those three toes ze just stomped on while enthusiastically River Dancing to “Let It Go” (yes, it’s invaded our home).
White male managers treat their colleagues worse when it’s not a white man at the helm of their company: Researchers found that white male executives working under a female and/or racial minority were also less likely to provide help to fellow colleagues, with an especially negative effect on help provided to minority status colleagues.
Come on, men. I know you can be better than this. I’ve seen better with my own eyes.
The Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg has an amazing thread about parenting, spirituality, and the resistance. I’m not spiritual but the first and last items apply to me, and whew! Just grabbed a couple of snippets of the bits that hit me right in the gut.
