My wife is watching Die Hard, and I'm sitting here reading Richard Slotnick's Regeneration Through Violence. There is something inherently wrong with me, or this is the perfectly described moment.

Lol. Look, whoever works on dr who on any level #respects. And at least my non-witty remark was for 5 minute old post :)

Okay, there's a lot going on right now, making it hard to focus. Have you eaten something today? Drank a glass of water? Contacted a local representative? Is there a task or hobby that would help you feel better?

🚨 NH’s market isn’t just tightβ€”it’s teetering on full crisis.
🏠 Statewide active listings: 1,173
⏳ Current inventory = 2 months (not even close to balance)
Until we get more homes, only going to get worse.

What’s next? Zoning reform & development⬇️

⚠️ Dover buyers aren’t just competing against each other. They’re against:
πŸš€ Out-of-state remote workers
πŸ—οΈ Investors & developers
πŸ’Έ Cash buyers
Meanwhile, the median household earns 40% LESS than what’s needed to afford a home.

The math ain’t mathing. ⬇️

πŸ’° Dover’s median listing price: $1.03M, but that’s misleading.
🏑 3 homes under $500K
🏑 4 homes at $595K-$600K
🏑 6 million-dollar listings aren’t built yet
Temove overpriced, not-yet-built, the REAL median: $589K.
More homes = more affordability. ⬇️

Dover has at least 1,380 new housing units in the pipeline, and NH lawmakers are pushing reforms to fight β€œsnob zoning.”
Will it be enough? What do YOU think? Let’s talk!

New Hampshire’s zoning laws are so bad that an 82-acre site (Fox Run Mall) is being redeveloped… without a single housing unit.
Why? Because the red tape is so thick developers don’t even bother. #NHRealtor #HousingMarket

New Hampshire needs at least 1,750-2,300 more homes just to reach a balanced market right now! Meaning today.
That’s why affordability is warp speed collapsing. πŸš€

Thought for the day. Information is a thing that you can actually quantify and add and measure. The more information, the more of something you have. Information therefore has weight. But if that is true, why does a hard drive full of information weigh less than a brand new empty harddrive?

A Desperate Attempt to Wrest Control Over Her Own Body Steve Ponders the World: Rethinking the Stories We Live By and Everything We Think We Know

It’s easy to feel helpless. But here’s where you can start:

πŸ“’ Donate to trans healthcare funds.
πŸ“ž Call your legislators.
πŸ” Amplify trans voices.
πŸ“š Push back on misinformation.

Rights don’t disappear overnight.

They erodeβ€”bit by bit.
What starts with one group never stops there.

If history tells us anything, it’s that waiting to care until it affects you is always too late.

When access to trans healthcare is blocked, people don’t stop seeking care.

They just lose safe options.
🚨 DIY hormones
🚨 Underground clinics
🚨 Medical procedures in living rooms

We’ve seen this before. The cost is always highest for the most vulnerable.

The New York Times condemned Trump’s anti-trans policies.

But here’s the thing:
For years, they gave legitimacy to the same debates that made these attacks possible.

"Both sides" debates over human rights aren’t neutral. They just stall progress.

This has all happened before.

πŸ”Ή The Fugitive Slave Act turned citizens into slave catchers.
πŸ”Ή The Red Scare was used to purge LGBTQ+ people from jobs.
πŸ”Ή The War on Drugs locked up Black communities for generations.

The tactics don’t change. Just the targets.
