i had this random idea the other day and today i made it!

carefax. a form you can fill out to help your friends, partners, lovers, and community show up for you, and you for them.

i’m working on a fillable template, but i wanted to see if people liked the concept and thought i should add anything

I just thought to myself "I wish I was sick so I could stay home and do nothing"
I have vacation and sick time!! I don't need to actually be sick to stay home and do nothing but the productivity brainwashing I grew up with still has a grip 😞

how do we survive until then

this lifetime, this year, this week

today

what do you need?

what are you hungry for?

what do you have to give?

can you plant flowers and take 21 steps to enjoy your tea and stop, whenever you get a chance, to remember that you are alive and life is rare and magic
