The starfish delusion: why care, not strategy, is the real driver of change
Care is the ground all systems stand on: it is the refusal to be paralysed by the size of the problem, but to act in spite of it
yorkshirebylines.co.uk
The ethic of care does not ask, “How can I optimise this interaction?” It asks, “How can I be fully present with this person, this pain, this moment?” Not because it will change the world. But because it is the world. It is the only world we ever touch.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
