Editor’s Note: Teresa Gray is the executive director and founder of Mobile Medics International, a medical disaster and humanitarian aid non-profit. CNN —The news reports declared that on April 1, seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen were killed in an airstrike in Gaza. I never saw Zomi in her home country of Australia and she never saw me in my home country of America. But for humanitarian aid workers, its often one and the same. Working in these conditions bonds all of us aid workers in a way that may be hard for others to understand.

(CNN) — Menopause and weight gain seem to go hand in hand. But is menopause really to blame for women’s midlife weight gain? Christmas said it’s impossible to talk about weight gain around menopause without talking about the other elephant in the room: aging. Many women gain weight around menopause. And there’s at least one more factor that contributes to weight gain as we age.

What you’ve got to do to get more money from wealth is just let your money go out there and make money on its own. darrick hamiltonYeah, the extent to which our tax code incentivizes wealth and capital growth, it centers on existing wealth and capital growth. $50,000 to the most wealth-poor person seems like a big number, but we need to put that number in context. In other words, wealth begets more wealth, and wealth builds upon itself. ezra kleinI think that’s a great place to end, so I’ll ask our final question.

☆ The Racial Wage Gap Is Shrinking
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-19 | by ( David Leonhardt | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: 1 min

In the early 2000s, the wage gap between Black and white workers in the U.S. was as large as it had been in 1950. That is a shocking statistic and a sign of the country’s deep racial inequality. Over the past five years, however, the story has changed somewhat: The wage gap, though still enormous, has shrunk. In today’s newsletter — on Juneteenth — I’ll try to explain why the gap has narrowed and what would have to happen for it to narrow more. After all, even with the recent progress, the median Black worker makes 21 percent less than the median white worker.

☆ Our Throuple Fell Apart. What Are the Rules of the Breakup?
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-21 | by ( Kwame Anthony Appiah | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +2 min

Nearly a year ago, I began dating two friends — I’ll call them Rachel and Dave — who were already themselves in a relationship. The throuple ended fairly quickly, with no one being at fault; the other two continued to date but broke up not too long afterward. Since then, Rachel and Dave have dated on and off, Rachel and I were casually together and Dave and I have been close friends who sleep together occasionally. At times, we have all behaved badly, sleeping together behind the other’s back, knowing the knowledge would hurt the other. Do Rachel and Dave get “priority,” in that they should be together and I should not pursue either, because they dated first?

☆ Lin-Manuel Miranda's first songbook is out, from 'In the Heights' to 'Hamilton' and 'Encanto'

So even for Grammy, Emmy, Tony and Pulitzer winner Lin-Manuel Miranda, his first songbook, containing 27 songs from “Hamilton,” “Encanto,” “In the Heights” and more, was a big deal. At the event, his nephew Alejandro performed “Dos Oruguitas” (from “Encanto”) on the piano, and was joined by his own teacher for “You’ll Be Back” (from “Hamilton”). You grew up with musical theater and piano lessons — how does it feel to have your own songbook? And it really was a teacher who brought me out of just writing songs about girls in the back of the classroom. That’s a really fun thing about the whole process: When you’re there early enough, your songs can really be a part of a give-and-take.

Though she has never quite achieved superstar status, Wanda Sykes has, over the last 25 years, steadfastly built one of comedy’s most impressive careers. But I’m not going to argue and go, “I don’t know why I can’t use that word!” No. She was like: “I don’t know. I can’t just be silent.” That’s why I said I wouldn’t be going back.13Do you think Roseanne is a racist? But I don’t know.
