I spent last week in Taipei with hundreds of human rights organizations, many of which had been impacted by the US aid freeze. While we were there, news came down that even more grants had been canceled, some of which were then reinstated. "Total chaos." @wired.com

Homelessness looks quite different for men and women, mostly because men are more likely to be single (& so unsheltered), while women are more likely to be with children. See our new research brief from @aibm.bsky.social aibm.org/research/hom...

A striking fact about frozen potato prices is not just their smooth rise during the rapid inflation of 2022-23, but how they did not fall with raw potato prices after that.

Courts will decide if this was illegal price-fixing, but you can see the pattern here:

New article by me!

It's a common mistake to think the TFR is a prediction of the average number of children women will have over their lifetimes.

But it's not. The TFR can decline even when the eventual number of children per woman stays constant or even increases; the opposite can happen too. 🧵

On #InternationalMotherLanguageDay, we recognise the power of language in shaping identity & #democracy.

The origins of this day trace back to 1952, when Bangladeshis fought for their right to speak Bengali. Today, the struggle for democratic rights still resonates.
