The framing of 'care' as intrinsically tied to community rather than individualism is right-on: "We remain unconvinced by an academia in which aggression and confrontation is subsumed into ‘professionalism’, in which egocentric ‘everybody for themselves’ attitudes prevail..." @terese_tweets/1146695106587705346

"Kindness as a radical act is not just ‘being nice’ to one another; it is the core of articulating, recognising, and valuing the complexity and beauty of the human condition, and putting this into practice.... Radical kindness is the creation of space for vulnerability."

I work and study in the academy and am fortunate enough to have good communities of care around me with people that allow me to be vulnerable, that challenge me when I make mistakes (often!), and that push me to be better without overstretching myself.
