dear Fariha, I saw your post this morning and opened this article because of its title. I am doing research on productive labour (which shall include productive, reproductive, and unproductive labour). your text resonates in so so many different ways, and on top of that, it motivates me, it reassures me. I am short before broke, so also, this resonated a lot, and therefore somewhere at "I am working, produced, dont have a savings, difficult" I became subscriber immediately. just want to leave this comment to make visible this labour of yours for me, to transfer my deep appreciation. thank you. sending you love across the planet ~

Dear Fariha,

I woke up and am so grateful that your words are the first that I read. I want to say thank you, thank you times a million for all that you do. I wish that I could hug you and tell you this, I want to hug you so much. In a world that can feel so very cold and lonely, I feel held by your words, I feel connected to you...you are a true, true blessing.

Warmest regards and love,

Ruby

Thank you for leading by example. Thank you for asking for help. The work it takes to get to the point of doing these two things involves a lot of self reflection on self worth, a lot of surfacing of doubts, moving sideways, discomfort, and eventually, courage. My admiration for you continues to grow, as you nurture and help me see the value of my own selfless nurturing in my life. Be well!

Absolutely valid that anyone who reads your newsletters should be a paid subscriber- it's literally $10 a month, same as a Netflix subscription. Your newsletters are pretty much short stories, and you pour so much into them. I know I've started to see the world differently since reading them, so others must too.

If everyone gives just $10 a month, this really makes a difference for Fariha, so please show her the respect she deserves and start subscribing.

Thank you for your labor, which should of course be paid. Love your work. ❤️
