“This isn’t some partisan issue, like seat belts or marginalized people having the right to vote … In-person learning with scorpions has joined the illustrious ranks of sound bipartisan policies such as ‘massive tax cuts for the rich’ and ‘the Iraq war.’”

MLK: “We must. . .shift from a ‘thing’-oriented society to a ‘person’-oriented society. When machines + computers, profit motives + property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism + militarism are incapable of being conquered.”

Rental sagas in Boston: A realtor asked us for $80 application fee and $3200 (one month rent) deposit in order to APPLY for a shitty, dirty 3-bedroom 🤯

@saraelizaj Ok but it ends with a random child running the snowman over on a bicycle a year later. Truly what is happening there.

@haharuffo Mornings are for strategizing! Execution! Rough drafts only though.

Toured a new-construction condo with one bedroom staged as an office. Here’s what realtors think #WFH is like for the rest of us:

What do we do, y’all? Does the landlord get away with this? We need immediate solutions, for our mental health, our families’. Can you help @wutrain? @BostonGlobe do you want to hear about the racism underlying all of this? Please RT — we need more ideas here.

[Kendell NewmanSadiik @KendellNS]

PLEASE READ + RT: We’ve been in a very bad rental situation and have accessed all the support possible (it’s been helpful!) from the @CityOfBoston but it’s not enough because 1/9

We cannot keep our families safe. We go to sleep unsure what we’ll wake up to. When our children wheeze, we look sideways at the damp walls. We lose patience in our homes and at work. We call out sick. We cry in our kitchens. 8/9

[Kendell NewmanSadiik @KendellNS]

In our family today, we tried to talk about buying a house. We had to decide TODAY. But what future is there for a family like ours in this country? We’ll keep going but with less trust, less energy, less commitment. So tired.

Here’s a fun game: Toss a dirty baby diaper in the kitchen trash before you’re fully awake. Every time someone throws something away, ask who farted. Accuse all family members. Blame the dog. To win: secretly remember what you’ve done and remove the trash before anyone else does.
