Welcome to HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for all of us trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism.
We apologize for being late! Life, work, and the collapse of...well, you know, got in the way.
But this week we talk once again about what to do when your union breaks your heart, and then spend a while considering how to avoid breaking someone else's. What do you do when communication on screens feels easier than communication face to face (and body to body)?
Stuff We Talk About:
Mattie Lubchansky comic
Mark Fisher, Capitalist Realism
Audre Lorde, The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House
Sarah, Worker Centers, Where Causes Cohere and Forge Power
Antonio Gramsci, “Americanism and Fordism”
James W. Carey, Communication as Culture
Walter Benjamin, “On the Concept of History”
We are Craig Gent, a writer and researcher living in Leeds, and Sarah Jaffe, a journalist and author based in London.
