Equal Care Day: Recognizing the Work That Often Goes Unseen Caring typically falls on women, with impacts on health, income, and rights.

Care work is not tracked in national GDP metrics, typically falls on women, and has long-term lasting impacts on individual health, wealth, and career. None of this is recognized by dominant culture. Equal Care Day aims to change that. open.substack.com/pub/anodynem...

Cover slide reading “Making Decisions in the Midst of Collapse,” with scribbles, crossed-out symbols, question marks, and tangled lines surrounding the title, suggesting confusion and overwhelm.

Text describing how leaders, care workers, parents, and organizers are trying to hold everything together as the world feels unstable and unsafe, with visual lines and symbols conveying urgency and overload.

A list of difficult decision areas—safety, limited resources, competing harms, and balancing capacity and values—emphasizing that many choices feel impossible right now.

Right now, many of us are feeling the weight of heavy, urgent, stressful decisions.

This series is for leaders, managers, care workers, parents, organizers, and anyone holding responsibility under impossible conditions.

That's the limit! What happens when care becomes too much? In this episode, Professor Janna Klostermann talks about her new book https://utppublishing.com/doi/book/10.3138/9781487563950. She tells host Dr. Sally Chivers what she learned from women who’ve stepped back from care work. Find out what their exits reveal about the structures that shape our lives, especially as we grow old. We talk about why quitting care feels like failure, how seeing care as a moral calling can isolate women, and how setting boundaries could lead to better care for workers and recipients alike. This conversation will invite you to imagine care as a shared responsibility, not an endless obligation.

It’s time the Chancellor joins 2026 from the 1950s:
-End the absurd and women’s work-penalizing #Ehegattensplitting
-Appreciate and ensure fair pay for #carework
-Realize the purpose of work is not counted in hours spent in an office & increase #flexibleWork options

As a species, women’s reproductive labor should matter more than economic productivity

So why do mothers still face poverty and chronic exhaustion?

Access Refusal: Disability, Extraction, and the Right to Withhold Dedicated to my friend Frank Samuriwo, for practising care without demand, and respect without negotiation.

Just published a new essay on Access Refusal .
This idea emerged from the realities of chronic illness and lived experience. I hope it resonates with others navigating loneliness

The Magic of Mothers at Christmas What Christmas Costs

December is full of real joy. It is also an astonishing amount of work. Watching mothers of children at home rushing through the season has me reflecting on how much unpaid labour Christmas depends on, and how easily that labour disappears into “magic.”

Black-and-white graphic featuring a centered white text panel over a repeating, abstract background of silhouetted human figures. The panel reads: “Things that are harder to get than a gun:” followed by a list that includes access to a primary care doctor, timely food assistance, a livable wage, fair student loans, affordable childcare, paid leave, classrooms without drills, campuses without alerts, a country that interrupts itself, and faith in the world. The stark contrast and minimalist design emphasize the poem’s critique of social priorities and systemic failure. The handle “@moms.who.write” appears at the bottom of the text panel.

Key findings:
👉🏼 Many low-income groups already live within ecological limits – often involuntarily
👉🏼Care work and time scarcity strongly constrain sufficiency
👉🏼“sufficiency” is unfamiliar, but everyday values (e.g. health) are powerful entry points
