🇲🇼 Drawing on my recent @jodemocracy.bsky.social essay, I wrote in @goodauth.bsky.social today to celebrate #Malawi turning 60.
The takeaway? Malawi's democratic journey has something to teach those of us who want to resist democratic backsliding in our own countries. 💪

Interpersonal violence is a direct contributor to homelessness, esp when people do not have access to services.
It means that victims of domestic violence will end up in jail.

One consequence of the SC ruling on homelessness is that it further centers jails (esp rural jails) as THE social service provider in communities. That's... bad. AND it means that sheriffs make policy decisions abt who gets these services. Their individual attitudes matter for these decisions:

I am on IUD #3. #1 (after Kid #1): Paraguard; #2 (after Kid #2): Mirena; #3 (after #2 was past its expiry date): Paraguard. I've not had any complications, but prefer the non-hormonal option. My good friend had bad cramping w/Paraguard, but no problems when she switched to Mirena.

Unprecedented scenes across Kenya today with mass protests in almost all major towns led primarily by young people. If you’d have told me in my lifetime that I would see someone call the president *checks notes* “a raggedy ass bitch” I would never have believed it. A new dispensation indeed.

For the “nothing happened” after 2020 crowd. Actually something is still happening-changes sparked by movement are ongoing.Police departments are smaller&experiments (yes experiments!)in public safety beyond policing are more funded&widespread than ever.This is actually how durable change is built.

Lately, journalists have asked if scientists didn't warn us enough, or didn't know how bad climate change would be.
Scientists did their jobs. It's fossil fuel companies who lied about climate impacts FOR DECADES. They're to blame for these heat waves.

After asking the government (or private foundations) to pay for the costs of doing research, we conduct the research and write papers about it that our peers review for free, then we donate those papers to for-profit companies that sell them back to us at high prices. This is considered normal.
