THE CARE MANIFESTO

short bluesky summary

⌘ This book ably describes my politics in a way few others have lately, but every single page underscores how far we are from the realization of this vision (and how much ground we’ve lost since the book's publication) 

⌘ I value the book as an articulation of an ideal to strive for and even a blueprint of work to be done, but godDAMN if every single page didn't also feel like a kick in the teeth
