Can’t say this enough. “Luxury” housing is either branding by developers or low-information/bad-faith anti-housing advocacy by community members. We do all levels of housing affordability a service when we know and can speak accurately about what market-rate housing is.

I’m at a Women In Tech event tonight specifically to talk up public boards and commissions! Think you don’t know enough? Yes you do. Think you don’t have enough time? It’s probably a smaller commitment than you think. Think it’s not for people like you? You are EXACTLY who should get involved!

Had an *intense* dream about being the staff manager for a women’s NCAA volleyballpong team. I’m not sure what school but it was the Big 10 conference. In Amsterdam. The dream was a series of vignettes of interacting with frontline staff during playoff seasons.

Anecdotal but: it was funny to be living right now in Ohio and seeing that even in the red parts of our county the GOP messaging pivot to “oh wait vote Yes to stop the gender trans groomers, don’t forget about that” just completely eat shit in the run up to Issue 1 voting.

One of the ways this plays out politically is that money tends to gravitate towards older, whiter, more conservative folks (bc those same folks set up economic systems that way, not bc magic). So folks fundraising for lefty goals and work are up against it, and often vilified and isolated to boot.
