A really eloquent essay on how it feels to be racially profiled your whole life.

Inspiring obituary of Anna Merz, who founded a rhino sanctuary.

A new study finds women give longer and more confident political speeches when they are exposed to images of female role models.

Women gave longer speeches and evaluated themselves more positively when they were primed with with images Hillary Clinton and Angela Merkel than when they saw Bill Clinton or weren’t primed at all. The outside observers also rated their speeches higher.”
