Just wanted to share how this book reframed an event that happened yesterday (1/2/26) in my locale. Not long after I finished reading this book, a gas fire, propelled by high winds, swept through several small businesses and apartments in my town and leveled the street. My first reaction was obviously "holy shit!" followed by "what a way to start the new year". What a tragedy and thankfully no one was hurt in the fire. But this book and being in several community groups that have been circulating mutual aid links got me thinking about how important reciprocity and gift economies are and how willing most people are to engage in them without realizing. When the fire was raging, volunteer firefighters arrived from all surrounding cities to help control the fire, volunteers from red cross helped evacuate tenants, observers on Facebook directed others to the emergency and to stay away from the scene so ERT could do their jobs. Without all those people gifting their time and efforts, we might have lost more than just some beloved buildings. Several mutual aid links have been created for those that lost their homes and businesses including a beloved independent bookstore and a fantasy game/bookstore and I'm proud that hundreds of people in my community have made it possible that many of them have almost met their initial goals in less than 24 hours 👏 take care of your communities and your communities will take care of you!!

Not just an essay about gratitude and sharing wealth, but a call to action to build communities that take care of each other, locally and federally. Listened to the audiobook and the author has a rather soothing voice. I think I read this at the perfect time (new year) and am feeling inspired to participate in some mutual aid and land stewardship! This was like a balm for burnout hahaha
