Self care™️ is cute and all but have we considered investing in community care????
Community care asks us:
Do we earnestly check in on folks?
Do we have the language to ask for help?
Is our intuition such that we understand when someone needs care?
Do we know our capacities?
Are we building relationships founded on reciprocity?
Have we created a community wherein holding space for one another is normalized?
If we understand that individualism, as popularly understood, is a capitalist ideal, and by proxy often an ableist one: has our conception of care shifted from the personal to the communal?
