Welcome to HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for all of us trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism.
This month is pretty hectic for both of us, and so we're only putting out one episode for September. We appreciate you bearing with us!
This week, we're talking about the lack of social safety net, particularly for mental health, and how it's really hard to fill in for the lack of a functioning society when you're just one human who cares. And also, we humbly beg people to stop branding perfectly normal forms of social interaction with cutesy little names.
Stuff We Talk About:
LinkedIn News, Soft socialising is on the rise
Emily Kenway, What if older people refuse care outside the family? This is the taboo that could wreck care reform
Emily’s book, Who Cares: The Hidden Crisis of Caregiving, and How We Solve It
Health Communism by Beatrice Adler-Bolton and Artie Vierkant
We are Craig Gent, a writer and researcher living in Leeds, and Sarah Jaffe, a journalist and author based in London.
