Really wonderful post - I'm very disabled (showers are one of the few activities I can do without help, which is why I so treasure your soaps! Their fragrance always encourages me to slow down and really enjoy the process) and the fetishistic focus on economic productivity is so damaging and inaccurate. A bunch of your lines here really resonate - we are all infinitely precious, our existence alone proves our right to existence, budding flowers are their own miracles - and I just want to thank you for sharing it. So thank you!
Yes yes yes to all of this! Seconding Amy's words, which are more eloquent than I could come up with today but which so beautifully articulate how this post made me feel
I’m so with you on all of this, and your commentary on productivity — and the belief that this is where all value lies — hits the nail on the head. This is all so beautifully put. Reading your thoughts makes me feel calmed and energized at the same time, and it reassures me about all the good and the kind still here in the world with us.
This was a great read, thank you. You hit the proverbial nail. There are so so many things wrong with the US govt’s stance, but it gives me hope to know people are fighting them and pushing back. Keep it up!

Who's cutting onions?! Amy, I appreciate you so, SO much.
