Hi Margeaux, I am so grateful for this newsletter and have added a couple new books to my to-read list after reading! I organize with a mutual aid network in my neighborhood, and I spend a lot of time thinking about how we can create the world we want to live in through mutual aid. It's so common for mutual aid networks to slip into known charity models, and I'm trying to examine that in myself and resist it in our collective, and I'm excited to learn from you as we navigate that.
Your own personal history with care really resonates with me, and I appreciate you sharing it. I'm curious to maybe talk in this space in the future about experiences receiving care and how difficult that can be for those of us who have strong caretaker histories or identities... or Cancer placements in our big three.
I'm so happy to have found your newsletter! I've been exploring the idea of "neighboring" and what it looks like to be a good neighbor to each other and our places, and your beautiful work on carescapes will be so awesome to read.
I love the etymology of carescapes! This was fun to read 💖
