Suggestion for folks asking for mutual aid support (based on years of experience): There's no need to say you're embarrassed or ashamed or hate to have to ask. That's exactly how capitalism wants you to feel. And it wants you to reinforce the idea that asking for help is shameful.

It is normal and human and absolutely okay to need to ask for help and support and care from others. Humans are social creatures who rely on each other. The idea that we can do it all alone without ever needing to ask for help just isn't realistic.
