Black text on white background. Transcribed text: Strangely, there was a palpable feeling throughout the city that this might be a window of opportunity to set new priorities, centering care instead of punishment. Lola Milholland Group Living and Other Recipes: A Memoir

I felt the same way at the beginning of the ongoing covid pandemic. I felt fear and immense possibility. I really thought this was the catalyst for us all to have better lives.

Black text on white background. Transcribed text: I didn’t want to marry. I’d fallen in love with Corey, but I didn’t know how I’d feel ten, twenty, thirty years in the future, and I didn’t believe in promises I couldn’t keep. I also knew I didn’t want to be defined by a single relationship in my life, as though it were the biggest accomplishment, the most deserving of a banquet. Lots of things deserve parties and banquets. Lots of relationships are sacred. Why not celebrate them all? Lola Milholland Group Living and Other Recipes: A Memoir

Why not celebrate them all? We really need to shift our priorities.

Black text on white background. Transcribed text: Most people in the world live in communal settings. To stigmatize group living is to dismiss the pressures of the housing crisis; the need to reimagine women’s unpaid domestic labor; the fact that loneliness and isolation menace all ages; and the racist, classist roots of the nuclear family and single-family home. Lola Milholland Group Living and Other Recipes: A Memoir

Communal and community.
