Yeah.
I mean, it's mutual aid.
It's all of these things that we thought we learned in the pandemic, in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Of course, as I think I've tried to describe, you and I have been living in pandemic times our entire life.
The way AIDS care emerges over the course of the 1980s is a profound example of mutual aid, what we now call mutual aid.
And we know that it existed in the 1970s and the 1960s.
We know that this idea of a solidarity economy, of a practice of survivance, of survival and thriving, we know that these things come out of communities that have been
disenfranchised that have faced racist and homophobic assault, that have been incarcerated, that have been told that what they do is illegal or immoral or dangerous.
So we know the roots of our solidarity come out of that.
And I just think that this is one of those moments where we see it put in very sharp relief and happening across a divide that right now we don't see as a divide, but then was.

Jennifer, you have been absolutely fascinating to talk to.
They can read Infectious Ideas, which is the book I wrote almost 20 years ago.
One of the first historical monographs about the evolution of the AIDS crisis.
And I beg you to go look at a website and a history project that I've been working on for about 10 years.
