Online event (3 Mar) on Criminalised Care, Hope & Solidarity based on responses to the book Pirate Care. I'm looking fw to discussing radical care as praxis across various initiatives with the authors and contributors. Link to register: lakeheadu.zoom.us/meeting/regi... vagabonds.xyz/hope-and-ref...

I was lucky to be invited to contribute to this wonderful initiative led by @cerasellachis.bsky.social for @pdse.bsky.social. It was refreshing to think about all the pirate carers around the world with so many contributors. I wrote on Re-Politicizing Care for Social Change. Link in first comment.
