Always grat for your writing Yassmin. I've been having discussions about worker and housing co-ops a lot these days. I'm drawn more and more to the idea of living and working amongst a community invested in the same values.

Thank you for your beautiful writing, especially this part about meeting your mother after 4 years of absence❤️

In this troubled and fragmenting world, we certainly retain our respect and love of family, but having children can be such a challenge to a creative spirit. I wish you continuing courage to create - what you share is deeply moving and sustaining. Thank you.

This piece made me reflect on my own reunion with my mother earlier this year after 3 years and I had the same experience of realizing that she's aged and questioning my decisions. I appreciate your honesty and it's good to know there's someone else grappling with the same questions.
