Recently started working thru Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice, as well as coping with my newly hightened disabilities and how they'll affect the long term plans I was making and working on in my community. The shame I've been grappling with has felt insurmountable and suffocating. While I consider myself a revolutionary optimist, my mindbodyspirit has felt like it's crumbling as Im forced to make life-altering decisions, especially the ones that prioritize self care. Self care is community/collective care, and recognizing that is imperative to recognizing that the battle Im fighting within myself is between what I know to be my truth and the lies our capitalist and colonialist society has been drowning me in since I entered this world.
Thank you for creating art that emphasizes the need for care, both giving and receiving. I hope you experience the care you need in abundance and the strength to accept it when it arrives.
I was at Columbia Gaza Solidarity Encampment.. reading this article just now (July 2024). I can’t explain how much this means to me.❤️🩹😭
