Welcome to HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for all of us trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism.
This week is a special episode, so it's dropping on Monday. We're bringing you a very special guest, Menominee author, organizer, journalist, editor, podcaster, and friend of the show Kelly Hayes. Kelly is just out with a new book that she's edited, a collection of letters to comrades from comrades, for moments when the struggle feels hopeless. It's a form of advice book, and so we thought it would be a great time to get Kelly on to talk about her work, and her concept of \"social deskilling,\" which has been so important to us here at Heart Reacts.
Stuff We Talk About:
Kelly Hayes, Read This When Things Fall Apart
Kelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba, Let This Radicalize You
Kelly Hayes: Organizing my Thoughts
Movement Memos: We Must Burst Our Algorithmic Bubbles and Build Together Across Difference (the Social Deskilling episode)
