It’s open access, and you can read it here: https://dx.doi.org/10.1353/esp.2025.a985872

"You Were Never Meant to Survive Alone" is a framework I have developed for Black queer abolitionist care rooted in refusal, kinship, and survival.
It’s not a clinical manual. It’s a map, a ritual, a refusal to leave each other behind. 🖤

To claim joy in a world that commodifies pain is to declare your refusal to be reduced to your suffering.
“Care continues through aftermath: the comedown, the tea, the reads, the shade, the gathering to watch Category Closed on someone's TV. The room slows. Laughter curls around critique. Screens glow with stories and group chats holding collective memory with care. Retelling becomes ritual; gossip, a kind of glue. Slowness gathers people back to themselves, opening time enough for return.”
