TOTW: Checking in

Topic of the Week: Mic check 1 2 3. Checking in (checking out) this week, we’re asking how you are feeling. It's a check in, like before your anarchist meeting starts or something like that. A larger spotlight and importance has been given to the idea of checking in on friends and loved ones during the pandemic to see how they are doing. These check ins can be thought of as a restorative or transformative circle to help build and strengthen relationships or simply something with a more lighthearted approach to create moments. This week we’re checking in and checking out.

After viewing the above image, on a scale of anarchy, how are you feeling? At risk of creating a one; too many comments that are just numbers, please also include some commentary. Does this example of checking in with your friends seem like a model being imposed on how your feelings work and what axes they can be described as? What are your favorite ways to check in on your anarchist friends or is this idea in general too squishy feeling warm fuzzies kind of stuff? What annoys you most about the topic of checking in with other anarchists? What historical examples are there of anarchists checking in on each other?
