Networks of care

“I said at the beginning that culture is the norms and values of a community. Thankfully we’re mostly past the collective delusion that work is family, but a workplace is still made up of people, and it is still a community of relationships. This community can also be a network of care if you let it.” Great talk (with transcript!) from Jenny Zhang about the values of work—not what values work brings to us but what values we bring to work. And also what it means to hold those values in place even as so many other forces and systems—racial, patriarchal capitalism chief among them—attempt to wring them from our hands.
