Eve Rodsky’s deck of cards could help you find domestic bliss
- Eve Rodsky was fed up. For years she, like many other women, had shouldered the burden
- of invisible labor at home. Rodsky, a Harvard-educated lawyer and organizational management
- specialist who advises families and charitable foundations, was tired of being the “she-fault”
- parent. So, she started a spreadsheet titled “Shit I do.” “After months and months of
- crowdsourcing this beautiful, giant spreadsheet, I sent this to my husband and said, ‘Can’t wait
- to discuss.'”
- Rodsky shared the spreadsheet on Facebook. Soon, she was receiving messages from
- strangers who had seen it, detailing the domestic indignities they faced. She wanted to channel
- that frustration into something productive, and then Rodsky realized she could apply
- organizational management principles to the home. When Sarah Harden, the CEO of the media
- and production company Hello Sunshine, met Rodsky, she realized Rodsky was onto something
- novel. “After 40 to 50 years of talking about the problems, she was working on a solution. [At
- Hello Sunshine], (...) We like to be on the problem-solving end of the conversation rather than
- wallowing” said Harden.
- The result is Rodsky’s book, Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too
- Much to Do (and More Life to Live), which came out in October. (Hello Sunshine inked a unique
- deal with Rodsky as a venture partner, which means the company helped sell the book to a
- publisher and will take a cut of its profits.) A key piece of Rodsky’s solution is gamifying the
- notion of fair play with a set of cards. “So this is based on a 100 card game. You’re holding cards
- that represent all that you do for your home and family.”
- The author believes the cards can help couples navigate their domestic balance by helping
- them to talk about home life (which most people don’t do) and take full ownership of the tasks
- (concept, planning, and execution). The ultimate goal of redistributing domestic work, according
- to Rodsky, is to free up time for what she calls “unicorn space” — the stuff that might feel like a
- luxury or pipe dream to most parents. “This is about making time for the things we actually care
- about — who we were before we had kids,” she said. “What are our passions and purpose,
- beyond being a parent and a partner and a worker? The more we spend time arguing about who
- does what, the less time we have for the things that truly matter.”

Social Media: a Gold Mine for Scammers in 2021
Social media permeates the lives of many people – we use it to (1)______ in touch, (2)______ new friends, shop, and (3)______ fun. But reports to the FTC (Federal Trade Comission) show that social media is also increasingly where scammers go to trick us. More than one in four people who reported losing money to fraud in 2021 said it started on social media with an ad, a post, or a message. More than 95,000 people reported about $770 million in losses to fraud initiated on social media platforms in 2021.
For scammers, there’s a lot to like about social media. It’s a low-cost way to reach billions of people from anywhere in the world. It’s easy to manufacture a fake persona, or scammers can hack into an existing profile to get “friends” to trick. There’s the ability to study the personal details people share on social media and target people with false ads based on details such as their age, interests, or past purchases.
Reports make clear that social media is a tool for scammers in investment scams, particularly cryptocurrency investments. After investment scams, FTC data point to romance scams as the second most profitable fraud on social media. Losses to romance scams have climbed to record highs in recent years. While investment and romance scams top the list on dollars lost, the largest number of reports came from people who said they were scammed trying to buy something they saw marketed on social media. Some reports even described ads that impersonated real online retailers that drove people to lookalike websites.
There are many other frauds on social media and new ones are popping up all the time. To minimize your risk, decline friend requests from people you don’t know, limit who can see your posts and personal information, be thoughtful about what you share online, and take care with suspect links.
