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 low on questions so we thought we'd talk to each other about a couple of viral relationship articles that are in productive tension.

And then we answer a question about organizing, capacity, and crisis.

Hello Heart Reacts listeners!
Sarah here, just wanted to touch base that along with much of Europe we’ll be taking August off from the podcast to deal with some life changes–good ones, we hope, that you’ll hear more about soon!--and to have a bit of a break and give you a chance to send in all your questions about chaotic polyamory, difficult parents-in-law, bad bosses, political splits, and everything in between.
As always, thank you to those of you who support us on Patreon and have sent in questions thus far. You can send those to askmeanything.cc/heartreacts. We’ll be back soon, and remember, pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the feels.

First off, we want to apologize for the delay, but we've been suffering lately from a dearth of questions!

If you don't have a question, but you love the show and want it to continue, please do share it with your friends, neighbors, polycule, socialist organization and encourage them to write in. We literally can't do it without you. Thanks so much to everyone who is already listening, sharing, and especially to our Patreon supporters.
On a related note, this week we consider unsolicited advice, and what to do when your friends think they know you better than you know yourself. And then we ponder what to do when young people (very young people) go on strike. (Spoiler: it's adorable.)
