DISPATCHES FROM OUR QUEER BODIES IN PANDEMIC TIMES (#21): “What happens when we are reached for, and we are the alternative system, and we are completely tapped out?”

Thank you Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Bridget Bertrand and Dr. Jennie Wang-Hall who attempted to address the question:  What does it mean to be a care worker in the third year of this global pandemic?

Thank you for the additional question.....“What happens when we are reached for, and we are the alternative system, and we are completely tapped out?” (Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha)

and

thoughts on rushing towards denial, heartbreak, disability justice, "i can't go to your party," "no vietnam war memorial for the covid dead," deep grief, being in crisis and at capacity, stuck in trauma loops, building alternative systems care, hope in abolition, connecting in rage and grief and creating and joining collectives.
