Thank you for reading. Also. your book on adoption seems fascinating. I will definitely check that out!

And instead of directing energy & ire at creating (and enforcing laws) against this, YIMBY want our energy and electeds focused on deregulating real estate claiming doing so advances racial justice. 🙄

Remember #ABS2023 when you get home write @oregoncc a letter explaining why the #hervoicemvmt was a problem. Write an op-ed —let the world know this is problem. Science IS political. It is imperative that we are involved in advocating for prosocial behavior & denouncing hate.
