Pope Leo XIV: “It is, therefore, not enough to state simply that men and women have equal dignity and rights; it is necessary that this be reflected in concrete decisions, such as in laws, access to employment, education, social and political responsibilities, and the way society listens to and values women’s contributions. As long as this gap persists, we cannot say that society truly and fully recognizes that women have the same dignity as men.”

My husband made me take new headshots for my upcoming book because I've been using the same one for like seven years. I hate pictures of myself. Please just tell me which one of these to use for the back of the book.

@ohegarty That is an access to justice issue very concerning and prevalent in family matters which is something we work hard advocating for change on and will continue to do so.

@LadyJusticeNL I appreciate your information but if one cannot afford a lawyer and does not qualify for legal aid then $ is still a barrier. And unless one has time to self represent then time is also a barrier.

I see so many 🇨🇦 women celebrating this but civil suits require money to launch and so this is only valid for victims with money and guess who has more? Men. So men will now be able to civilly sue women for IPV just like men get ♀️charged when ♀️fight back.

Brooklyn, 1952. Judith Love Cohen, 19, asks her high school counselor about math classes. The counselor smiles like she’s talking to a child. “Honey, nice girls go to finishing school. Learn to pour tea.” Judith enrolls in Brooklyn College. Engineering. Hundreds in the lecture hall. Women: one. Her. “Boys laughed when I raised my hand,” she said. “So I raised it higher.” She transfers to USC. Finishes bachelor’s + master’s. Never sees another female engineering student. Graduates 1957. Class of 800. Women: 8. America’s engineers: 0.05% women. She’s one of them. Then NASA calls. 1960s. Apollo needs brains. Gender? Secondary. Competence? Everything. Judith joins the team building the Abort-Guidance System for the Lunar Module. The AGS. The “oh crap” button. If the main computer dies, this box flies you home. Or you don’t come home. “It had to work,” she said. “Because if you needed it, you were already dying.” Orbital mechanics. Electrical chaos. Code that can’t glitch. She lives in equations for months. August 1968. Nine months pregnant. Still at her desk. Coworkers: “Go home, Judith.” Judith: “The math isn’t due. I am.” Morning contractions start. She grabs her printouts — pages of trajectories, circuits, logic — and drives to work. Contractions get real. Team: “HOSPITAL. NOW.” Judith: “Fine.” Takes the printouts. Hospital bed. Nurses walk in. She’s between contractions, scribbling on computer sheets. “Ma’am, you’re in labor.” “I’m in math,” she says. Then it clicks. The final bug in the AGS. Solved. Then she pushes. Baby boy: Thomas Jacob. You know him as Jack Black. Next day she calls her boss. “I fixed the guidance problem.” Pause. “Oh. And the baby came too.” April 13, 1970. 200,000 miles from Earth. BOOM. Apollo 13. Oxygen tank explodes. Command Module dying. Three men crawl into the Lunar Module — built for 2 people, 1 day. They need it for 3 people, 4 days. Primary computer stutters. Backup comes alive. Judith’s AGS. It holds. Calculates burns. Aligns spacecraft. Verifies they’re not flying into deep space forever. “Without AGS, we don’t come home,” said Jim Lovell later. April 17, 1970. Splashdown. Alive. The world cheers the astronauts. Inside NASA, engineers hug. “The backup worked.” Judith’s backup. Apollo 13 crew visits TRW to say thanks. Judith shakes their hands. No speech. Back to work. She keeps going. Hubble Space Telescope systems. TDRS satellites — ran 40 years. Papers. Patents. Mentors girls. Writes kids’ books: You Can Be a Woman Engineer. “Girls need to see it to be it,” she said. “TV gave them lawyers. I’ll give them astronauts.” Raised four kids. Danced ballet with the Met Opera while doing engineering school. “My first loves,” her son Neil wrote, “were dancing and equations.” July 25, 2016. Age 82. She’s gone. Son Jack Black posts 2019: Photo of Mom, 1959, next to a Pioneer spacecraft. “My mom literally helped save Apollo 13. Finished the problem IN LABOR WITH ME. How do you top that?” The counselor said “finishing school.” Judith chose “finishing equations.” Three astronauts owe their lives to that choice. “They said I didn’t belong,” Judith said once. “So I built something that belonged in space. And brought them home.” She never flew. But she made sure others could. From a hospital bed. Between contractions. With a pencil.

Today the Supreme Court of Canada released the landmark decision recognizing the tort of intimate partner violence for the first time ever, so victims can be compensated for the harm they suffer from intimate partners. See Ahluwalia v Ahluwalia . decisions.scc-csc.ca/scc-csc/scc-cs…

I’ve got a CFA in town this week for two days. Has never been here before. If someone has just two hours and point of origin is downtown, what would you do?

A work colleague sent me this photo of sheep in a field of dandelions taken on his evening walk. I think it’s beautiful. He gave me permission to post it and reckoned it might get 100 likes. I bet him it would make at least 1000. Off you go folks - do your thing 😂

Did you know Korea sells “one-a-day” banana packs? Instead of every banana ripening at once, each one is at a different stage. One is ready today. The next one is ready tomorrow. The last one is still spiritually in college, “experimenting.” Simple. Genius. Solves the entire banana problem. What do you think? Would you prefer your bananas this way?

Grand Slam of Curling@grandslamcurl·
A message from Niklas Edin: The Curling Academy teacher in 2003 asked his students about their long term goals. “Make it to a Nationals”, “Win the Nationals and qualify for the Worlds would be cool!” What about you? The 17-year old who just started 3-4 years earlier: “Win 5 World Championships at skip, the record is 4! 🤓 The teacher prob rolled his eyes at that point but also saw a drive and motivation that was through the roof. 🙄🤔 The 7 years to come the boy lived, breathed, ate and sh*t curling 365 days a year. “No curler can possibly train more or better!”… Then came the injuries followed by surgeries, year after year. Doctors told him to quit sports and stop training or a wheelchair would be waiting👨🏼‍⚕️”. “No sir, I got tournaments to play and titles to win! 🫡” The years passed, the injuries kept coming but the titles also started coming. The relentless work had paid off and from that point there was no looking back! 😈 8 World Championship golds 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 8 European Championship titles 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅 3 Olympic medals 🥇🥈🥉 (Ranked #1 in the world was cool as well! 🤩) Dream of that young foolish boy came true…and then some! 🤭🥹 Which leads me to make a tough and scary decision. To quit while ahead and have time to explore what else is out there! 👨🏼‍🦯 Don’t worry tho, I’ll be close to the game, watching, coaching, commentating and hopefully playing in the Rock League! 🕺🏼 To not forget anyone, I wanna thank everyone who’s been onboard this incredible journey and helped steering the ship through storms and peaceful sunrises! To all you fans that have been so kind and happy to follow our games closely! 🥹 To family and close ones cheering from afar 🥰 I hope you enjoyed the ride!? I sure did! 🤜🤛😎 🥹🫰🥌 - Niklas Edin

Dilemma. What do I do with these embroidered pillowcases ? They were given to my mom at her wedding. They were embroidered by her grandma, my great great grandma. My mom never used them because /she “couldn’t ever replace them” after her grandma passed. She kept them in the linen closet in the house I grew up in. She gave them to me when I got married and yes, I’ve also kept them unused in my linen closet for 20 years. I don’t want to get rid of them (I won’t). Do I use them or keep them safely store me for future generations to not use, either?
