I’m the most liberated in spaces where people are taking care of people, making a meaningful impact, sharing, trading, learning, and thriving through solidarity.
Some people in my town started a queer art club and brought lots supplies to just hang out for hours in the library basement and make art. I loved it and it was so much nicer than the capitalist Paint and Sip I walked past that takes up a store front and is rarely open, overpriced and leaves people with a pretty not cool generic art work and no new community connection at the end.
I’m leaving this reply in the hopes that the algorithm will continue to disseminate this piece further, to reach all the people who want to do something, anything, but don’t know how. This is how. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this and thank you for YOU, Aisha. This piece wrapped a much needed hug around my heart and reinvigorated my belief that the world where mutual aid is the norm is possible. Thank you thank you thank you <3

That sounds amazing! I hope y’all keep it up! And I totally agree about the paint and sip situation 🫣.
