“ You can remove the drawn-in borders just by adding a little visual space, and use subtle color differences to separate rows if needed” ———> “Let’s make it 10 rows per screen (and somehow still with low-legibility font choices and low-readability text design)! Make the design breathe, you know, white space!” ———> Me, having an aneurysm

This will probably have zero traction, yet:

1.ADHD is often misdiagnosed in women

2. The drop in estrogen around perimenopause/menopause worsens symptoms. It leads to late-life diagnoses as women's coping strategies no longer work as well.

3. Perimenopause starts 10-20 years before menopause; women in their 30's can suffer from perimenopausal symptoms.

We are delaying as long as possible. Right now it is ‘let’s evaluate when you are 13’.

Many peers have a locked down apple watch.

Do you have text/other sources suggestions for this? I agree with you, would like to learn more.

TL; DR: the perception of “ghost work” can also appear when employees work in functions where failure doesn’t immediately break the company. The work may have value, but the contributions support longer tails, look not needed. ———- I used to ask direct reports “how does what you are doing map to company strategies?” And if they could not do so we’d talk about what they were working on, how ‘mapping’ might work, and then decide if the work was worth it/ how to learn more about the company so their tactical was also strategic.

This was significantly easier in roles the company publicly supported. For roles where our team failure would destabilize things in a longer timeline, it was extremely easy to not be able to directly map to success, or feel fungible within the company.

Unclear to me is whether steviosides are in the NSS category. WHO spells out xylitol and others in same category are not.

Some fertility problems go unnoticed for a decade. I suggest to my younger (25-29) female friends to have their egg reserve estimated, even if they at that point are not thinking about ever having children. This is because the original issue can be upstream of the couple: a parent who had early menopause, or low ovarian reserve, may pass similar characteristics down to their female progeny.

Having been up since 3 AM with a child, I can say the cost-benefit fluctuates wildly.

Would love OP to indicate if they do not know the benefits and want to know, or if they know the benefits and want others to know as well.

Some old reasons to have progeny: free labor, keeping property in the family, nepotism, enforced helping parents in old age.

An idea apparently returning to popularity: "my genetics are a gift to the world and can save the world from itself"
