[here is a list of some of what we’ve learned about care since we started Thick Press in 2017. Click on each phrase to see related content.]
An Inquiry into Care
the care in cleaning, wiping, carrying, listening, and being tired of listening
the care it takes to understand—because: everybody wants to be understood, but nobody wants to understand
the care in feeling your feelings
the care in validating another
the care you do with your own money, on your own time
the care in welcoming fuzzy conjecture
the care in sharing stories
the care in holding space
***
the care that happens because you showed up limber, you showed up relaxed
the care in performing grief rituals, in leaving space for grieving
the care in honoring collective memory
***
the care that is “green” because it isn’t rooted in extraction
the care in finding your slice of the work in social justice—and then attending to it
the care in radical hospitality
the care in radical accessibility
the care in gettin’ free across levels of systems and time
***
the care and protection that lie beyond critique
the care that’s meant to build power
the care in birthing a new world
the care it takes to grow for the sake of something bigger than us
the care in making beautiful things with others
***
Here is a list of all the books and booklets referenced above.
