I talk to two members of the Pirate Care collective, Valeria Graziano and Tomislav Medak, about their book of the same name. In addition to the concept of "pirate care" itself, we discuss the historical and contemporary significance of the pirate figure, the criminalization of care, the inspiration we can take from the Four Freedoms of the free software movement, the notion of “queer kinning” and its implications for solidarity, and the need to care for all those who fall through the cracks in traditional constructions of belonging.
