"Everyone has the same 24 hours" — sounds fair.
But it isn't.
After 10 years and interviews w/ 100+ ppl, I found that time anxiety isn't a personal failing.

Black and white picture of football fans cheering.

A recent BBC report shows sexism in football is an ongoing issue.

A new pop-up and online exhibition by @staceypope.bsky.social shines a light on the untold experiences of female fans — and challenges the idea that greater access has led to true equality.

专访许玲玲：失去托举的年轻人，只能怪上一代不够努力吗？ “我们应该问的是，为什么社会的分配制度和评价体系持续地把更多价值赋予那些已经拥有原始积累的家庭、地区和群体？”

My new interview with FT Chinese is out.

Inequality is not just about wealth. It is also about time.

Who gets the freedom to pause, explore, and recover from mistakes?
Who has to turn every decision into immediate survival?

“对农民有点儿太亏了”：20元人民币何以引爆中国养老金的讨论 - BBC News 中文 中国2026年全国两会落下帷幕，但有关政府基础养老金提涨20元对农村居民影响的讨论才刚开始。

in the recent Two Sessions the govt raised the basic monthly rate from ¥143 to ¥163 ($28). this raise, which some have described as insulting, sparked much discussion online. for urbanites often don't realize just how little rural residents have to make do with.

老有所依？——中国农村养老困境

the majority of basic pension users are senior citizens in rural areas (over 70%), who have to continue working while they can because it's far from covering subsistence

Cora Lingling Xu • FreshEd Today we explore how time can be inherited like status or wealth and what that means for higher education mobility and inequality.

I recently spoke with FreshEd about the argument at the heart of my new book, #TheTimeInheritors:
inequality is not only about what people have, but also about when they have it.

I also argue that support measures can reproduce inequality. @sunypress.bsky.social

Not everyone gets to be “relaxed.”
For some, ease is not a trait but a privilege.

In this podcast episode, I talk about time inheritance, time poverty, gendered burdens, and why some people inherit margin while others inherit urgency.

A lot of what looks personal is structural.
