It’s such a neat concept that can make certain expensive services like lawyers or therapists more accessible. I could trade a few hours gardening, sewing, cleaning, or baking, for someone else to give me a hand building a larger project. It’s a beautiful way to connect a community through acts of service 🥰

I don’t think PwD generally fit into skills trade or labour-oriented community organising structures. I don’t think that means that those things shouldn’t happen, I just think it is important for part of the conversation to be about the limitations of those types of organising structures and not just their merits (and they do have many merits!).
