Welcome to HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for all of us trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism.
This week, we're talking about why it's so hard to leave a bad relationship, reminiscing about our best (and worst) jobs, and musing on why our society doesn't value service sector work the way it does manufacturing. With bonus World Cup geopolitics (this was recorded before the US president got involved in the officiating, sorry)!
Stuff We Talk About:
Just Break Up: Asking Too Much or Asking the Wrong Person
Madeline Lane-McKinley Solidarity with Children
Sarah, The Revolution Will Not Be Fetishized
Emma Goldman, Living My Life
Aaron Benanav, Automation and the Future of Work
Sophie Lewis, Abolish the Family
Polly Smythe at London Centric
Polly Smythe, How Covid Turned Cashiers Into Carers
Nicholas Beuret, “Anyone but Miliband”? Why do unions hate net zero?
We are Craig Gent, a writer and researcher living in Leeds, and Sarah Jaffe, a journalist and author based in London.
