Fuck self-sufficiency. It’s time for Interdependence. Always offer help and always accept it. Cook meals for the people you love. Grow fruits and vegetables and give them to your neighbors. The “independent” person is merely the perfect version of a Consumer, eating directly from the palms of Corporation. Fuck self-sufficiency. Need one another.
If you’re thinking ‘ok, but I’m disabled and I can’t *do* any of these things…maybe I don’t fit into this’
yes, you do! we need you!
we need your kindness, your laughter, your joy
what might that look like during the hard times? it might be saying 'thank you’, or being gentle with someone else, or saying 'isn’t that a nice cloud?’, or enjoying literally anything that you like (whether by yourself or sharing that with others)
we need that so much. we really, really need you.
