Honored to see my essay on the rebirth of Boston's Mystic River in @longnow's annual journal, Pace Layers. I argue that the multi-generational work of restoring a polluted waterway should be celebrated like the medieval enterprise of building a gothic cathedral. @MysticMyRWA

Conservative natalism's angry-man problem.

I recommend this darkly funny report on American pro-natalists by @barclaybram of The Economist. I'm glad my use of the word "abhorrent" made it into the piece, along with my plea to fellow progressives who are reluctant to acknowledge this issue. https://t.co/PU80obZhN2

Many thanks to CNN's @meenasaurus for making me sound like a sane liberal in this report on NatalCon. Definitely a strange event, but it convinced me that progressives need better ideas for enabling people to form families and have children.

[meena hart duerson @meenasaurus]

No, they didn't charge $10,000 and have on-the-spot weddings, as some reports suggest.

But NatalCon 2025 had plenty of excitement.

Our report from inside the Elon-adjacent conference focused on boosting the birth rate is up on @CNN -- and it's a fun one: https://t.co/weaoWR1GKx

@tatsuki_tsukada Fantastic engraving!

@lymanstoneky Lucid and helpful explanation of the WPP. Thanks!

Today in @nytimes @rachelcwiseman and I on why in letting conservative policies and theatrics alienate us from the question of children, we’re only letting the right set our reproductive agendas for us in yet another way.

Professional news: @FamStudies is launching a new Pronatalism Initiative with me at the helm. The project is initially supported by an Emergent Ventures grant (ht @tylercowen ). We're the first and only explicitly pronatal policy shop.

@Jacobkupp Muy bien dicho!

@CRPakaluk It’s a lovely ad, but Argentines don’t seem to share its sentiments. Fertility there has fallen more in the last six years than in the last six decades. https://t.co/zE6lfPHPU0

@JenniferSciubba @PRBdata Congratulations! Very eager to see what you do there.
