Joy
“What happens if joy is not separated from pain? [. . .] Or even more to the point, what if joy is not only entangled with pain, or suffering, or sorrow, but is also what emerges from how we care for each other through those things?”
(Ross Gay, Inciting Joy (Chapel Hill: Algonquin Books, 2022), 4)
Solidarity
Solidarity: A grounding for collective action that depends on a shared social agenda (what you’re doing), rather than on a shared and idealized identity (who you are)
(Patricia Hill Collins, in review of Tommie Shelby, We Who Are Dark: The Philosophical Foundations of Black Solidarity (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2005), in Social Forces, 88, 1 (September 2009), 473.)

Compost
Compost: 1. A hot, messy, and collectively productive ecosystem in which nutrients are made available for other lives. 2. An alternative to the paradigm of “posthuman(ism)” (which imagines the world from an other-than-human center), coined by Rusten Hogness in conversation with Donna Haraway
(Donna Haraway, Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene (Durham: Duke University Press, 2016), 32)
