“Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the feels.”
We are HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for everyone trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism. We’re here to answer all of the questions about love, friendship, family, and even work that you might want to ask two people who have spent adulthood trying to apply their radical political analysis, more or less successfully, to their personal lives.
We are Craig Gent, a writer and researcher living in Leeds, and Sarah Jaffe, a journalist and author based in New Orleans.
You can send us your questions at www.askmeanything.cc/heartreacts.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for all of us trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism.
First off, we want to apologize for the delay, but we've been suffering lately from a dearth of questions! Obviously, we can't answer questions if no one asks us any, so please, if you've been hesitating, now is the time to send yours in! 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.)
We also remember friend of the show Joshua Clover on this episode. Joshua was a poet and a revolutionary and we share some of his work below if you aren't familiar.
