😤🤯

Quite astonishing how awful the latest Apple updates are. For every single one I’ve had to waste so much time reverting everything to make the device usable again. And WHO LIKES LIQUID GLASS???

If you're thinking, "They don’t deserve that," consider what your goal is. Is it to keep your enemies as your enemies, or to help people change their minds? If it's the latter, we have to lower the social and psychological cost of admitting error. /5

This is an appalling thing to say. Maybe think about how devastating it is for people actually from Minnesota to see what’s happening in their home state and for whom this isn’t the latest thing to score points off on social media

What's that coming over the hill is it a majestic AI Gift-Horse? Ignoring women until it affects someone who matters

Why do Japanese men think housework won’t be automated, but Japanese women think it will be?

Why is female but not male income associated with owning a dishwasher in Japan?

& why has OpenAI suddenly got all feminist on us about unpaid care work?

Yes I thought that was an extremely apt analogy. Although on the tube people probably wouldn’t tell off the person being ranted at for getting appropriately upset about it!

This is EXACTLY what it was like for me when I was being inundated with rape & death threats and assorted misogynistic commentary on how I was handling it. Occasionally I snapped and then a bunch of people piled in to tell me to be nicer. 🤯

…here I am, stuck in a tech dystopia with you.

niche request: does anyone have access to a hard copy of this paper which doesn’t seem to be available online? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14241740/

I have no doubt it will be incredible ❤️

Something a bit different from me today. An ode to ageing like The Smashing Pumpkins…brought to you courtesy of the complicated but ultimately joyful feelings I experienced watching a band I’d worshipped in my teens perform live over 20yrs later newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/an-ode-to-...

Pray a moment of silence for Raynor Winn’s agent and editor this morning 😬

😱

That’s so lovely to hear!

Niche complaint, but AI just spoilered Anna Karenina for me, so add that to the list of its many crimes

Last week I was honoured to be announced as the winner of the inaugural Unwin Award -- a new literary prize that recognises authors whose work has made a contribution to the world. This is the speech I gave making the case for human creativity newsletter.carolinecriadoperez.com/p/making-the...

Thank you! It was great to see you :)

The Perfection Trap “Why are girls to be told that they resemble angels; but to sink them below women?”

I don’t believe in imposter syndrome - and in the latest edition of the Invisible Women newsletter, I explain why

Thank you!

Witches and babies and DEI, oh my! We shouldn’t have to make a business case for the business of being human

What do witches and babies have to do with the backlash against DEI?

This week’s Invisible Women newsletter is a rather sprawling essay that represents my attempt to answer exactly that question.

UPDATE: someone has kindly shared with me

You would think! But just goes to show everything he says about sex is about enforcing gender norms not actually helping women. Which was already obvious, but surprising how many people didn’t grasp this

If anyone is able to share a copy of the now offline FDA guidance on including underrepresented populations in clinical trials with me I’d be very grateful. Apparently ensuring medications work for women is part of the “woke” agenda now.

Are women underrepresented or are men overrepresented? “In fact, many of the studies in this field have used male models as a reference, ignoring the anthropometric diversity of women.”

To find out what researchers discovered when they tested the effect of this shift, as well as excellent news on seatbelt design head to the latest edition of the Invisible Women newsletter!

What if we've been talking about representation all wrong?

When we talk about gender in leadership, we usually talk about female <under>representation. But what if we should instead be talking about male <over>representation?

The Perimenopause Gold Rush There’s a wave of new companies making big promises to millennial women. Is it all too good to be true?

This is an excellent piece. I'm really pleased to see the growing pushback against meno-mongering of all kinds
