The Economist published their annual "glass-ceiling index" of women in the economy - rating female workforce participation, education rates, pay equity, etc. What stands out: a) what Orban has done to Hungarian women; b) how low Germany remains; c) how Canada has made no progress

Sent a pic of my positive COVID test to my sister, who somehow thought it was a positive pregnancy test. I feel tired enough to be in my first trimester, but other than that, no parallels between pregnancy and covid.
