workweek reading recs (27 January 2025)

[matsushima]

Hello and "happy(?) Monday." Here's some stuff to read this week and it's all downers.
(Sorry.)

• An Affordable Place (2025/01)
  Content notes: Violence, police malfeasance, poverty, homelessness, drug addiction, untreated mental illness
• ‘The ghosts are everywhere’: can the British Museum survive its omni-crisis?
• Inside Ziklag, the Secret Organization of Wealthy Christians Trying to Sway the Election and Change the Country
  Content notes: Religious abuse

Times being what they are, I'm going to start featuring one action item for the week, usually a nonprofit you can support financially if you have the means. If there's something you'd like me to link to, please send me a DM. This week's link is fandomtrumpshate, a fandom fundraiser for many good causes. Sign-ups close February 2, 2025!
