rynlingNothing happened, by the way.
This is just something I've been trying to articulate for about two years now, and it suddenly came to me while I was brushing my teeth in the shower this afternoon.
Idk, I've been thinking a lot about mutual aid networks these days.
I remember a lot of people mentioning "mutual aid networks" during the early days of the pandemic, but no one really explained what a mutual aid network is supposed to be. I think that this was probably because a lot of people who were using the expression don't know what it means, which makes sense, because a pandemic is not the right time to meet new people in your neighborhood.
In any case, a mutual aid network is a collection of people with specialized skills who distribute the products of their labor and expertise to other members of the group, usually by means of a physical location like a co-op or community center.
I was thinking about what I would be able to contribute to a co-op, and I was like, "...wow I sure the fuck don't know."
Then I had the thought that I'm technically a doctor, and that made me laugh.
