Equality and Love for ALL

Hey everyone! Betsey Stevenson here from President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers. In honor of Women’s Equality Day, I’ll be taking over I Love Charts to tell the story of the progress we’ve made in closing the earnings gap between women and men, and the challenges women still face in the workforce. 

Also, hey, Happy Women’s Equality Day, Tumblr. 

Behind the scenes of that thing that happened. This is the last post we’ll make about it, we swear. Now go and have a good weekend. Drink something out of a coconut.

Love and Lesbians ♡

Some of the signs from last night. My skin color is not a weapon

While pundits have spent air time blaming women for the wage gap and arguing how big it actually is, a recent study from Yale found that employers favor male candidates with higher rates of hiring and larger salaries even when male and female candidates have identical background and experience. 

THIS KID, MAN. THIS KID. INCREDIBLE.

EVERYONE regardless on We Heart It.

Freedom is the right of ALL sentient beings

my mom found and framed this… my journal circa grade 2 or 3 when the teacher asked us to write “if we could have one wish”. I think this is pretty epic. Don’t ever tell me it’s a “choice”. It IS a choice to go through the process, but it’s not a choice to feel what we all feel inside. We are who we are and people need to love one another for their self expression; whatever form it may be.
