Our dear friend Anne died on Christmas of ovarian cancer, leaving her wife Valerie and their son Bobby. This family matters so much to me. They got to know us after Bobby was diagnosed with Down syndrome before he was born, and our families remain close. Help if you can. Just a repost helps.

Europe’s housing crisis is worsening while progressives stay silent. DPIR's @tabouchadi.bsky.social argues in @theguardian.com that we need bold policies that make homes affordable, fair and a social right again:

Europe’s housing crisis is fuelling the rise of the far right. Our research shows how to address it | Tarik Abou-Chadi, Björn Bremer and Silja Häusermann
The mantra of ‘build, build, build’ misses something crucial: that few can afford these new homes, say Tarik Abou-Chadi, Silja Häusermann and Björn Bremer

In the absence of adequate staff, the lion's share of the administrative burden of helping the elderly navigate SSA will fall on adult daughters, DILs, and female friends. The war on the elderly, the war on lower income Americans, and the war on women are the same war. @jessicacalarco.bsky.social

My school @ucdpolitics.bsky.social has 2 positions (deadline Feb 21) one in Global Governance, one in Environmental Politics. They're called "Ad Astra Fellows" but between you & me they're basically tenure-track posts. It's a good deal. You get a PhD line & annual €5000 research budget for 5 years.
