 Alongside the innovative way of capturing media attention with creativity, there are at least two other aspects that make Act Up a very important example to help us think about care practices. The first has to do with the way in which the organization managed to scale up in a very short amount of time while staying committed to an open decision-making structure without leaders, where proposals and coordination were entrusted to an agile grouping of committees and assemblies able to make decisions democratically and autonomously.

 Meters are the proposed “solution” to water scarcity in Johannesburg. The idea has been to commercialise it, with the assumption that treating water as an economic good will ensure more careful consumption at household level. Johannesburg Water (a private company, where the state is only a shareholder) sought to limit water consumption of the poorest neighbourhoods through the installation of prepayment water meters and flow restrictors.

 Typically, none of the trees in big cities produce nuts or fruit. City planners specifically select sterile varieties of many common fruit trees (apples, pears, plums, cherries) because of their beauty to decorate their streets. But they don’t want to be held liable for any potentially slippery messes fallen fruit could create on city sidewalks, or any animals it could attract (think bees, birds, squirrels).

 The militarisation of the US southern border, with the erection of border walls, remote surveillance systems and the violent pushbacks carried out by the Border Patrol, as well as the vigilante killings perpetrated by the Minutemen paramilitaries, have pushed migrants to increasingly seek remote and dangerous routes into the US. The dangerous corridors, leading across 30-80-mile stretches of the Arizona desert, can result in disorientation, loss of life-saving supplies, dehydration, injuries and ultimately death. It is estimated that since the introduction of “prevention through deterrence” policy in the mid-1990s, more than 10.000 lives have perished along the US-Mexico border.

 Marriages and civil partnerships between migrants and citizenship-holders, between foreigners and locals, are subject to scrutiny in a manner that other marriages and civil partnerships are not, no matter if they are out of interest or out of “romantic love”.

In Milan, the number of places available in public crèches is not sufficient to satisfy the demand: 30% of children are left out every year (around 3.000 children). Those who can pay private nurseries do so, however this is not an option for many. Private kindergartens fees range between 650 to 900 EU per month, while public ones charge between 180 to 480 EU.

 The monthly fee charged to parents by Soprasotto is 350 EU. It employs two full-time qualified nursery teachers. Other costs are kept low by a combination of novel approaches. There are no 'service' figures, but interchangeable roles that the parents take on in rotation to ensure that the daily organization, the feeding of children and educators, special activities and the general administration can run smoothly. Rent is kept low via a partnership with another third sector organization that allows children to use their space, which would otherwise be under-utilised during day time. A set of purpose-built furniture that is children-friendly and that can be swifty stacked away after use has been developed with a local makerspace, WeMake. Meals are prepared by the parents on rotation, a solution that generated quite a few problems for the collective, as it formally violates some of the official health & safety laws regulating food preparation in such settings.

Artists Andrea Francke and Eva Weinmayr have collected these since 2010, from visits to small book markets around the world, and through public calls for contributions.
 
 Items in the collections typically diverge from their originals, for example a novel containing two extra chapters, a newspaper containing only errata and corrections, or contain binding errors such as upside-down pages. As Francke and Weinmayr write, “The Piracy Project is not about stealing or forgery. It is about creating a platform to innovatively explore the spectrum of copying / re-editing / translating / paraphrasing / imitating / re-organising / manipulating of already existing works. Here creativity and originality is not in the borrowed material itself, but in the way it is handled.” There is an online catalogue for the collection with a description and provenance for each item.

 To avoid the locks that John Deere puts on the tractors they buy, farmers throughout America have started hacking their equipment with firmware that's cracked in Eastern Europe and traded on invite-only, paid online forums. Tractor hacking is growing increasingly popular because John Deere and other manufacturers have made it impossible to perform "unauthorized" repair on farm equipment, which farmers see as an attack on their sovereignty and quite possibly an existential threat to their livelihood if their tractor breaks at an inopportune time.

 The unavailability of certain medicines is one of the many factors limiting the possibility for transgender people to access safe pathways for hormone intake, as it encourages the production and sale of testosterone of dubious origins. Indeed, in Italy and in most of the other countries, this type of drug is only prescribed as therapy for hypogonadal cisgender people (that is, people who feel that their birth-assigned sex and gender match their gender identity). Therefore, so-called "gender dysphoria" (when people feel their birth-assigned sex and gender do not match their gender identity) is not among the authorised conditions for using hormone-based medicines.
 
-Transgender people are thus trapped in a paradox. On the one hand, the recent depathologisation of gender dysphoria can be seen as a cultural and civil victory. On the other, it has left a definitional void that needs to be filled to guarantee access to medical care to everyone. In fact, this void pushes people who take hormones for gender transition to do so "under the counter", because for official healthcare systems they are non-existent.

 All the while, estrogens are not as much in the spotlight as testosterone; indeed, since they are not used for sport (and war), there is no such a lucrative black market for them. Open Source Estrogen, a collaborative project led by the artist Mary Maggic, stands between citizen science and speculative design and has the ambition to develop DIY/DIWO (do-it-with-others) protocols for the "domestic" synthesis of estrogen hormones as a response to the strong control by governments and institutions over human bodies.

+Women on Waves (https://womenonwaves.org) is a non-governmental organisation founded in 1999 by the Dutch physician Rebecca Gomperts to prevent unsafe abortions and unwanted pregnancies. The organisation provides sexual health services and education to women in countries with restrictive laws around reproductive rights.
 
 WoW sails a ship registered in the Netherlands to countries where abortion is illegal. By anchoring outside territorial waters, they are able to provide contraceptives, education and legal abortion to women who need them. They are able to do so because in international waters local laws do not apply. It is thus the Dutch law that applies on board a WoW’s ship, which means that all their activities are legal. In 2018, the organisation received a license to perform abortions with pills (misoprostol with or without mifepristone). The crew includes a gynaecologist and a specialised nurse so abortions can be provided safely and to the highest standards.
 
 With their ship missions, WoW want to respond to an urgent medical need but also, crucially, to draw public attention to the consequences of unwanted pregnancy and illegal abortion. WoW has created enormous public interest after successful campaigns in Ireland (2001, 2015), Poland (2003, 2018), Portugal (2004) and Spain (2008). WoW always works in close collaboration with local organisations to change the laws in their countries. For instance, the campaign in Portugal catalysed the abortion legalisation in February 2007.
 
-WoW have recently also used robots for across-the-border abortion counselling and drones for across-the-border abortion pill deliveries. WoW also have a sister organisation called Women on Web, providing reliable information on safe abortion and contraception and safe telemedical abortion service. They have also created a “Safe Abortion with Pills” app, which is available for free from the Google Play store for Android phones.
