Loyal member of team paper-and-pencil, but would love to know whether that's backed by research. Anyone?

Any suggestions for new research on WFH and gender inequality to review?
I'm trying to summarize the latest evidence and keep it up to date as more work comes out.

Just tucking into How the Other Half Eats by the brilliant @priyafsingh and happy to report it's nutritious and delicious. Get it while it's hot. hachettebookgroup.com/titles…
With many thanks to @monicacbell for the shout out, everyone should read her brilliant analysis of how police violence – including the racial and economic violence that is endemic to white suburbs – upholds segregation, and how it might be diminished (if not yet dismantled).

Elmore retired from digging up scoops for the @ithacavoice, but he still threw them a bone for #GivingisGorges.

While text banking for #ElizabethWarren2020 these past couple days, multiple people have told me "I'd rather lick door knobs in China" than go to a campaign event. Lots of questions. Main comment: please don't lick door knobs. There's no good time or place for licking door knobs.
Gender neutral haircuts might not be the most pressing issue of our time, but sometimes you've gotta call out the binary where you see it.
With thanks to @roztappenden for following up on my Twitter complaint. (I wish that always happened.)

As far as we know there's no relation, but just to be clear Elmore puts the national interest ahead of family loyalty. #dogsatpollingstations #labourdoodles #openborderterriers
A barber turned me away today because he didn't know how to cut women's hair. We had the same haircut.
Everyday lesson in how gender is a poor proxy for differences that matter.

Big news today. Rose DeGroat's charges have been dismissed.
Community members have consistently shown up in big numbers to protest her, and Cadji Ferguson's charges these past few months.

Since NY raised the age of criminal responsibility, 82% of 16-year-olds accused of felonies have gone to family court, where they won't pick up criminal records. Some upstate counties have been slower than NYC to implement reforms, though. Here's my latest for @ChronicleSC.
Excellent reporting from @DevonMagliozzi (while moving to Scotland) on year one of Raise the Age, Cuomo's major juvenile justice overhaul. Lots of positive signs but the real test begins when 17 year olds become eligible in 10 days chronicleofsocialchange.org/…
Elmore’s celebrating his 5th birthday by marching with thousands of young activists in #Edinburgh because he likes planet earth. In the words of one toddler’s sign, “No one is too wee to protest climate injustice.” #ClimateStrike
Grammar has always been a weak excuse for rejecting a person's preferred pronouns, but now it's official: "they: used to refer to a single person whose gender identity is nonbinary"

The brilliant @CassRobber breaks down the cost of a progressive national agenda. How will we pay for housing, education and climate initiatives? They'll pay for themselves.
How much would #MedicareForAll cost? Warren's and Sanders' Democratic debate policy ideas are cheaper than we think, writes Cassandra Robertson.
An ambitious progressive agenda will lead to programs that are more effective and less expensive #DemDebate3

The @ChronicleSC brought together journalists from upstate to see how New York's Raise the Age law is playing out for 16-year-olds pulled out of the adult criminal justice system. Here's my latest, with reporting from Tompkins County. #twithaca
In New York, Raise the Age has moved older teens out of adult jail. In many areas, the change means long trips to faraway detention centers bit.ly/2KK5w79 #juvenilejustice
The Tompkins Legislature voted against studying options for co-locating the sheriff's office and Ithaca Police Dept. The vote effectively kills the idea of co-location, which was under consideration by the city and county for months. Full story at @ithacavoice tomorrow. #twIthaca
These amazing teachers and kids give me hope during a painful week in the U.S.
Check out how a summer music program at the Southside Community Center is interrupting anti-blackness, lifting up abolitionist teachers and spreading joy in Ithaca. #twithaca ithacavoice.com/2019/08/vide…
