Waxing on women + wages

Media is nothing if it doesn’t ~enable conversation~, and the Washington Post is taking this v. literally when it comes to the gender wage gap, having launched a Slack channel called Pay Up for ladies (across all industries!) to meet and talk all things $$$. A cool example of user engagement + public service + but also lowkey crowdsourcing for future articles.

Looks like they’re only taking beta users rn, but you should sign up! (And if you’ve never used Slack, don’t be afraid, you beautiful millennial. You taught yourself how to code on fucking Neopets. You will dominate Slack in no time).

Related: a link out to The Billfold, The Awl’s financial site, for great, actually interesting af articles about ~personal finance~ and also for featuring work by a fuck ton of great women writers. Since we are all getting to that age where we have to budget for shit like, ugh, dentist co-pays, you should be reading that shit. The best one yet: “The story of a fuck off fund.” Will change your life/saving habits.
