from stefanie l. kaufman mthimkhulu, posted to twitter on Jul 15:

We need to offer ways to get support in community that do not require us to first build community. Being a known, loved, present, valued, or respected person in community should not be a prerequisite for receiving care.

I say this because people talk about building community like it’s easy, something that indicates morality, something we all have time for/can do, something that if you do a good job and do it right you will always have care and love and support within reach. Really not true.

@ people saying you don’t deserve community if you put no effort into building it - y’all will die on the hill of transactional care + labor!! Some Disabled people need constant care & we give less than we receive but we still deserve all of it. It’s not balancing an equation.

By the way, I think building community is critical, a way of life, & is part of our necessary work as humans. My point is that under our current conditions, the labor (and love) of building community should not be required first in order to receive care outside the state.

Ex: Many folks turn to pod mapping during times of crisis to activate their pod and avoid unwanted or carceral responses. You need to know the people in your pod and be in relationship with them, be in community. AND we know that many folks have no one or 1 person in their pod.

Should the people who have no one in their pod not receive compassionate, anti-carceral care in community? Are they required to first build relationships so they can access care outside of the state? I would hope not, because so many of our most targeted and marginalized cannot.

Rocky says, “Good morning!”

Although I get frustrated sometimes, being forced to walk the dogs every morning has been a life and soul saving act for me.

“Obligation “ sometimes has a heavy presence in this individualistic death-cult of a culture we live in.

I think that obligations we carry for collective care, even though they aren’t often acknowledged, are what will actually save us.

Unfettered personal freedom isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be.

Mark Silver writes,

Healing is sometimes complicated, needing sophisticated resources. Sometimes.

However, so much of healing is not. A great deal of healing is giving gentle, caring attention to something, without trying to fix or push or get past.

I'm convinced that gentle, caring attention, with a fierceness that doesn't allow us to be distracted, is a huge part of what we each need, and what this culture needs.

Gentle, caring, fierce attention on the inequality and injustices.

Gentle, caring, fierce attention on the toxins in our environment, and on who is putting them there.

Gentle, caring, fierce attention on the grief that we won't feel because it seems like too much.

Gentle, caring fierce attention on the anger, and rage, that rises up in our hearts daily.

Gentle, caring, fierce attention on the fear, the wracking, drowning fear that is so present in our culture.

In my experience, this kind of attention leads to profound connection, which leads to a healing and wholeness in the heart, which leads to inspired action, an expression of love that creates lasting change.

Is this everything? No. Is more needed than this, yes.

However, I believe that this, multiplied by each of us, will lift a tremendous weight and stuckness, that then makes the more difficult, more sophisticated needs more visible, and we'll have plenty of resources freed up to do that healing.

Gentle. Caring. Fierce.

YOU NEED a drink:
- connection
- an afternoon nap
- artful expression
- a nutritious meal
- a high-vibe playlist
- a dose of gratitude
- a walk in the sunshine
- to shake up your routine
- to put your phone on silent
- a vulnerable journalling sesh
- something to look forward to
- to remember your reason why

' An alcoholic friend of Philip Yancey once said to him:

“When I'm late to church, people turn around and stare at me with frowns of disapproval. I get the clear message that I'm not as responsible as they are. When I'm late to AA, the meeting comes to a halt and everyone jumps up to hug and welcome me. They realize that my lateness may be a sign that I almost didn't make it. When I show up, it proves that my desperate need for them won out over my desperate need for alcohol."

Lets make sure that people know how welcome they always are, that our table is really big and that there is always a place with their name on it at our table. '
