Some news: After 8 years & 750 stories, I've decided to leave The Atlantic. Today's my last day.
Being a writer means you can’t say things like "I can’t tell you what this means" cos, well, I can. That's kind of the point of me. So here’s an attempt at looking back & forward: 1/

Paging all Southwestern writers: For a few months, I'll be a contributing editor at @highcountrynews, overseeing our SW desk along with @RakshaVasudevan and @kateschimel. If you have a likely HCN story in AZ, CA, CO, NM, NV, UT, or the borderlands, please pitch one or all of us.

After ten years of environmental journalism, it now takes me a significant mental effort to look this year's news in the face.

My new National Geographic just arrived, which includes my latest feature—my 16th, and my last as a senior writer.

NatGeo is laying off all of its staff writers.

I’ve been so lucky. I got to work w/incredible journalists and tell important, global stories. It’s been an honor.

#FindsFriday In a Neolithic dwelling at the site of Çatalhöyük in southern Turkey, archaeologists uncovered a limestone female figurine that is at least 8,000 years old.

In a dramatic win for justice, a jury ordered @Chevron to pay $63m to a California man who contracted cancer after building a house on a hidden toxic waste pit. Thousands in Ecuador suffer a similar fate.

When I started reporting on climate change, the prediction was the Arctic could be sea-ice-free in summer by the 2070s. Now? By the 2030s. https://t.co/iSA52WS4YD

Climate inequality mapped.

New research by @AbiDeivo, @jasonhickel and others has produced striking maps that illustrate the immensely unequal responsibility for climate breakdown and unequal health outcomes between countries. https://t.co/DULM7Qj6qf

I could quote this all day but let’s start here:

“The key difference is that Vienna prioritizes subsidizing construction, while the US prioritizes subsidizing people, with things like housing vouchers. One model focuses on supply, the other on demand.” https://t.co/lH7Tag2VRX

[Senator Stanley Chang @stanleypchang]

This is it. The best single piece I’ve read on social housing: how and why it works, why other proposals fail, and how it failed politically in the US. Enough with the gut reaction ideas, let’s do what actually works. Congratulations @francescamari and @nytimes!

A very interesting study on the price-dampening effect of limited-profit housing on the free market https://t.co/Ha3HScSndx

[Francesca Mari is on Bluesky @francescamari]

Housing around the world has become a nightmare of expense and speculation. What did Vienna do right? How might our lives be different if housing costs weren't so high? My latest—an economic, political, and philosophical argument—at @nytimes @NYTmag 🏡💸

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” https://t.co/EH3reri9lz

[Nina Riggio @nrnriggio]

“a $100 increase in median rent was associated with a 9% increase in homelessness.”

In a new report, @headecon digs into the "amenities trap" – a cycle of low wages, bad housing, and infrastructure shortages afflicting tourism-dependent towns in the West. More on the report for @highcountrynews
