Abstract

This autoethnography critically reflects on receiving and providing care in late capitalism, trans modes of relational world-building, and cross-racial and working-class solidarities in the face of structural denial all the while grieving. It is as much about providing care as it is grappling with receiving the same. It is also a study about recovery and repair within a commune of world makers; about pressing in, not on, and learning to love otherwise. And finally, it is about feeling the fullness of grief while laboring to sense pleasure in a commune constituted in compassion, care, and critical love.
