lyrics

“struggle that doesn’t understand the importance of care is doomed to fail. The fiercest collective revolts are built on a foundation of nurture. But reclaiming care doesn’t just mean giving ourselves more care, as one more item after all the others on the to-do list. It means breaking the peace treaty with our rulers, withdrawing care from the processes that reproduce the society we live in and putting it to subversive and insurrectionary purposes.” [from Self as Other: Reflections on Self-care]


[This song’s about doing care labor (specifically at a youth shelter) while trying to take care of yourself. Its about vicarious trauma. Its about juggling the emotional weight of the work, and the usual crisis of management, while trying to occasionally think of your own personal well being. -b]

so this is shelter
but i don’t think i filed
that fucking prog note
that says that boss is vile

avenue of hope
crushed by machine
but sometimes it feels okay

which part of me does care for
the part of me that cares for
which part of me is labor
and how can it stay tender?

so this is shelter, but what of my welfare?
