The World to Come, inspired by Angela Davis on Radical Self Care
“It’s very dangerous not to recognize that as we struggle, we are attempting to presage the world to come. And the world to come should be one in which we acknowledge collectivity and connections and relations and joy. And if we don’t start practicing collective self care now, there’s no way to imagine, much less reach, a time of freedom.”
