I ran into Gord on the subway ~1 year after he left Twitter and he grabbed me by the shoulders, looked me in the eyes, and told me quitting had improved his mental health/life. This is a real story, I’m still on Twitter, and earlier this year I had high blood pressure issues.

Excited to announce that Renoviction and Resistance in the Capitalist City, by Cole Webber and Philip Zigman, comes out in June. The book looks at how and why landlords renovict tenants and how tenants have organized to fight back and keep their homes. btlbooks.com/book/renovicti…

@dsherwoodb Thanks, Dave!
