is growth/transformation ever painless? asking for a friend
finished 'fear of falling' last night and i wish i liked it more; i found 'dancing in the streets' + 'living with a wild god' very impactful, but this one fell flat // tho, I was absolutely spoiled by the last two books i read, t'is folly to think ehrenreich could follow fanon or george jackson

mutual aid request in chicago!

there is a need for shelf-stable food staples — requests are coming in from moms, community members, crisis workers

it's imperfect as an amazon wish list, but it's something we can manage amongst our safe networks, we will distro food quickly

please share!

pulled this out of the depths of my likes bc it haunts me (complimentary), and I need the regular reminder to refrain from unintentional / unhelpfully-weedsy research
