a gentle tale of undoing exploitative and neurotic relations through mutual aid

where self-reliance is the beginning of community rather than its end

giving and receiving freely without guilt, resentment, envy, and pride

a healing of the physical, psychical, and political body

joy against dominion

i appreciate how vonda depicted differently gendered forms of vulnerability and shame

a bit miffed about her depiction of addiction though - why do emasculated men and child abuse victims get sympathy, but drug addicts do not?
