We will start off with our first MAKING & PROTOTYPING practice: Taking Attendance with Index Portraits, a exercise drawn and played with by cartoonist Lynda Barry.

Then we will introduce ourselves and our activist Superpower; interview each other with Themes of our Lives; and using our cards we will the take up making class buddies, and otherwise beginning to create ourselves as a community of intellectual friends.

We will also read, interconnect, and discuss reactions, reactivities, triggers, care-abouts and other points of political meaning, emotion, and action using Lothian and King as points, directions, objects, shimmering nests of words.

After break we will organize the course, who will present, how readings and assignments will work and so on.

We will think about all the very many meanings and reactions the term self-care has right now and inspect Marcus and Neff.
