i am just one person and while i can stay engaged and up to date, i can't solve all the horrors of this world. however, i can help my neighbor. i can do harm reduction. i can share what i have and if i don't have what you're looking for i probably know someone who does. mutual aid is satisfying like a community care jigsaw puzzle. it reminds me that the small connections matter and that there are caring people everywhere, often right down the street. and i've accidentally made lifelong friends in the process.

feeling angry/sad/anxious about the state of the world?? feeling like you shouldn’t even try to do anything about it because you can’t do anything as an individual?? look up mutual aid groups in your area! wild how something as simple as making sandwiches to share with your community can make you feel 10x better

If you or someone you know has internet access, do a search for "mutual aid [city, state, etc.]" There should be some good resources depending on the location, and they're often community-run and very helpful.
Also, if you're reading this and looking to help in general, finding your local mutual aid group is a great way to support your community through donations or volunteer work! There can be questionable practices with large companies and how they handle donations/finances, so participating in something smaller can have a larger impact at your local level.

it's helped me get through so many tasks i've dreaded or was too depressed or bogged down in the details to do. even just sitting in silence with another human working on their own thing is helpful. even if it's virtual! sometimes it's just hard to do stuff alone. and talking through stuff with someone who has more grace for me than i do can help get me out of my head
