Reporters should include it in their articles when the White House refuses to respond to a question because a reporter has pronouns in their bio. PRINT IT. EVERY TIME. OVER AND OVER.

Recently, @buoncities.bsky.social affiliates @mollyrichard.bsky.social (@buciss.bsky.social) and @kentoncard.bsky.social (IOC Visiting Urban Scholar & @curaumn.bsky.social) prominently shared their work on housing and good/just cause eviction protections in the U.S. 🔗 www.bu.edu/ioc/2025/03/...

Just-cause eviction protections do what they are intended to do without negative impacts "The first recent studies have shown that just-cause eviction legislation meets its stated goals," said Dr. Molly Richards. "It leads to decreased evictions and eviction filings."

Almost half of renters in Greater Boston are cost-burdened. This is why we need cities and towns to be able to pass rent control to stabilize rents and transfer fees to fund affordable housing, and we need more affordable rental supply overall. www.bostonglobe.com/2024/12/30/b...

As books are burned & banned, it’s important that all of U.S. history is forever amplified and not hidden. The holiday season meant something very different for American slaves, my ancestors. ibw21.org/reparations/...

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing." The state then paid *$6,200 a month* to house her kids in foster care. One of the most important and infuriating stories I read this year:

For the past year, @propublica.org has been reporting on the toll when a city "sweeps" an encampment. We handed out cards so folks could write in their own words what it meant to have their belongings trashed. We're publishing dozens of those stories here: projects.propublica.org/impact-of-ho...

The number of cost-burdened renters has hit yet another record high, and affordability has worsened up and down the income scale, leaving low-income households with less than ever before. @airbrycki.bsky.social @aherm.bsky.social @sophiawedeen.bsky.social. www.jchs.harvard.edu/blog/renters...

"lower-income renter households continue to bear the brunt of the affordability crisis...In 2023, lower-income renters (<$30k) dedicated a staggering 80% of their household incomes to rent and utilities, compared to 60% in 2001 and 68% in 2019." From @airbrycki.bsky.social @harvard-jchs.bsky.social.

I heard this is a wholesome space so to start off at the intersection of my housing and cat interests: here’s the gingerbread house / ski chalet I built for my cat, Bernoulli, over the weekend.

Hello! It’s my first day here. Here to post and follow about housing & homelessness, action research, teaching in higher ed, touching grass, being queer, and loving my cats. 👋
