Coming November 2022!

Anxious about the state of housing? Bereft of a sense of community? Wishing for something better?

I'm enormously proud of my chapter in this. It's the first time I've written about the community I lived in during my twenties and it made me realise how much it shaped me.
If you want to dig into a network of people thinking about living communally - this is where to start!

Stop asking us to guest lecture/ run workshops / join seminars for free.
It happens so often. Because the culture is that salaried academics are obligated to add these to their CV, they assume you will.
You can’t pay childcare costs with good feelings 🤷♀️
Interview request 😊😊😊
I’d love to speak to people living
a) with multiple generations in one household
b) with a family who live with additional people or with another family
Would be v grateful if you could share! X
Revelatory. @MimSkinner gives a timely insight into a women's prison. She is engaging, warm & at times understandably despairing. Cycle of "justice" without restoration/rehabilitation seems utterly pointless. Also parts made me chuckle! Wholeheartedly recommend #walkerbookrv
Commercial communalism is growing at pace. Is it just what our housing sector needs or has it missed the point?
Does my skepticism stem from being a activist bore who feels resentful that people are buying community? (probs)

I LOVED having lunch with Sarah. Her Substack is such a fantastic hive of climate news and initiatives in the North of England. Well worth a read!
And frankly a CLASSIC move from me, organising lunch at my own project so she'd get to see @REfUSE_cic
Never not cheerleading.
Could you live in a communal household? Talking co-housing, intergenerational living and more over lunch with author and social entrepreneur @mimskinner#housing#cohousing#community#countydurham https://t.co/HNUKJTQIPO

Thanks for having me Woman's Hour!
So much we couldn't fit in! If you want to ask more about the two communities I've been part of, communal family life or any of the communities I've visited for Living Together, I'm doing an Ask Me Anything over on Instagram today.
Would you live communally? It may be a way to share childcare, look after each other in old age, or save the planet.
Listener @nettykanewrites wanted to know how “intentional communities” work.
@MimSkinner & Anne Thorne @CMcohousing join @itsanitarani to answer her questions.
