In the debut episode of Lifelines, I’m joined by my collaborator, sára abdullah to discuss our ongoing mutual aid project, Li Falasteen, an herbal guide for the medical workers of Gaza. This episode features lessons from the plantcestor sage, the origin story of the Li Falasteen guide, solidarity across the global South, and explorations of a mutual aid paradigm that inspires radical imagination and practical skill building for changing our material conditions for liberation in the present towards the future.
