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.

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...

Honestly, just happy it’s Friday and it is my LAST library instruction class for the semester.

Apologies to all the people on the hold list for the library book I kept past the due date in order to finish reading it.
I feel guilty but also am making no promises that I won’t do it again in the future.

Here’s hoping this is the platform to be on when Netflix releases their Pride and Prejudice adaptation so if it’s as terrible as Persuasion was, we can all hate it together.

I’ve seen a lot of people sharing bios/intros which I hate doing because it feels too much like a “share a fun fact” corporate activity. That said, my algorithm is a mess and maybe it will help.
