"Our findings support the claim that local government austerity cuts unequally restricted the right to have children amongst the most disadvantaged." This study highlights the negative impacts found for poorer households only and the disproportionate allocation of cuts to racially minoritized women.

There's some good advice in this thread, but I'm going to offer another take on #6 here: The "best" (i.e. most prestigious) program you get into might not be the best fit for you, and you can still have a great career, even if you decide not to put status above everything else.

14 puts the ”terrible twos” into perspective

Guess who made herself coffee for the commute this morning and then left it on the counter in the kitchen!!

'bout time. And yet, no doubt the still-to-be-announced 'new tapered system' will also be appalling and ultimately punitive 🙄😕

Also, let’s not forget that September 28th was firstly declared as #SafeAbortion day at the fifth Latin American and Caribbean Feminist Encuentro in 1990, acknowledging a) the Brazilian 1871 free womb law, and b) complications of unsafe abortions as top causes for regional women’s mortality

my faith in humanity is renewed

Our call for study participants is out - please share with anyone who may be interested in taking part! bsky.app/profile/seli...

Before I run off to eat lunch a few reflections on the @claremontcomms.bsky.social event today exploring how we create a society that values care. It's positive to see focus on the need to shift how we talk about care - in all it's forms to one that is universal. 🧵

Check out #GenTime research led by @gczching.bsky.social on adolescents' #timeuse in Japan, Korea, UK & Finland across 3 decades. Gender differences in time use emerge in adolescence. Girls already undertake twice as much domestic work as boys. @sociologyoxford.bsky.social
