@GBinterfaith @RepArciero @CharlieHomerDoc @4thPresBoston Great team, GBIO

Our thoughts on today's State budget released.

We MUST continue pushing our legislators to allocate $184 million to public housing. Everyone deserves a safe, decent home. #mapoli

[Erin Tiernan @ErinTiernan]

The House leadership budget increases funding by $10M, boosting it to $102M next year.

[GBIO @GBinterfaith]

🧵GBIO campaign asks for 1. Safe and Dignified State Public Housing 2. More Funding for Affordable Housing and Homeownership 3. Access to Quality Housing for Returning Citizens 4. Increasing Housing Supply.

I'm writing a piece that requires an unusual approach & so I'm reading around. What are your favorite Oliver Sacks essays, for ex? Or essays where the writing/writer is almost part of the story they are reporting on? For ex, I love Janet Malcolm's 41 False Starts...

There are those who leave you feeling that they have helped you be more of who you want to be. In my brief time of knowing Thomas Ruffine, he was that person for me. My prayers for all who were in his life.

[GBIO @GBinterfaith]

Thomas Ruffen, may he rest in peace, played a critical role in GBIO organizing the residents of Mildred C. Hailey that led to the victory of $50 million to address deferred maintenance. Thomas had a servant’s heart as one member described him; we agree and will miss him dearly.

Is it an excuse or a good reason?
If it's the reason, what leads you to think it's not a good reason?

[Shayne Miel @ShadyData]

Anyone have advice for dealing with a chronic illness at work? Like, I want to “bring my full self” and my manager knows what’s up, but I don’t want all of our 1:1s to be “work was a slog this week because it feels like my body is trying to strangle itself”

[Rosalind Joffe @WorkWithIllness]

Diagnosis can be a game changer... and bias, racial & gender, play a role. My new post: "Are you Desperate for a Diagnosis?" https://t.co/tffxcS98K9

Working with chronic illness a thread:

(1) As someone who is chronically ill it’s very difficult for me to get to work on time. On a good day I’m 10min late and on a bad day I’m 45min late but on average I’m about 20min late.

[Rosalind Joffe @WorkWithIllness]

She's right. You SHOULD hire her. Sounds like she'd be a loyal and hardworking employee who knows her limits
