Exactly this quote - “we build properties unsuited to life”
Also can we talk about the fact that many housing associations/leases prohibit hanging washing outside on balconies etc because it’s deemed unsightly

BREAKING: Coroner has ruled that
Awaab Ishak, aged just two, died as a result of severe respiratory condition caused due to prolonged exposure to mould in his home.
The coroner said this “should be a defining moment for the housing sector”- will it be?

Lots to take from this morning's closing statements at the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, but this from Danny Friedman KC is probably worth sharing. The inquiry has shown a world absent empathy. As well as all the technical stuff, that needs to change
Given the news about @madedotcom going under, how likely is it that I’ll finally get the replacement for a broken bed that I ordered 18 months ago… 😬

The overabundance of PhDs among Marvel characters really highlights the length academics will go to avoid writing.
Editing my PhD thesis after a year of maternity leave is going well

Construction workers had the highest male occupation morality rate from suicide between 2011 and 2015, so if discussing feelings is 'woke' then this seems like a very good and important thing
On our first big #matleave train excursion today! Leaving London to visit family. As ever, my research on #genderequality is always at the back of my mind. What would happen if you gave mums full autonomy over transport planning & design?
Kudos to @VirginTrains the baby changing facilities were pretty good (even free change mats and nappy bags! 🥳) but in general, whoever puts handdriers next to baby changers has earned a place in hell 😭
And we have a winner ladies and gents…. #hancocktwitterpuns
Some years later, me and @iamtomwake have sadly outgrown the flat 🤰🏻🧔🏻🐈⬛🐈⬛ so I’m repacking those boxes but still listening to @BBC6Music and this time the fabulous @laurenlaverne is helping me through 💪🏼
No greater pleasure than finally unpacking the boxes and boogying in the living room of my #newflat to @CraigCharlesTV @BBC6Music #saturday

Four years since tragedy occurred at Grenfell. Today should be dedicated to the memory of everyone who lost their life, a loved one, a home and has had to live with the aftershocks of what they witnessed. It’s also a moment to reflect on the need to make all buildings safe.
More incredible words from @monaeltahawy on collective grief and recovery
“We must walk—emerge from the pandemic, not regress to “normal”—and talk--talk to our grief.”

After Grenfell, the Hackitt Report said a cultural change was needed in construction. Having looked at this for months now, it is clear a cultural change is needed in how social housing tenants are treated. It’s not a secret, but we don’t talk about it enough. (9/9)
