“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.

Welcome to HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for all of us trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism.
We're back!
And we have exciting personal updates for our listeners. But don't fret, we're also back to answering your questions. This week we tackle yet another dispiriting experience with the labor movement, and how to be for labor when it's shooting you in the foot. And then we consider ghosting: what it is, what it means, what to do when a friend does it to you.
Stuff We Talk About:
Jane McAlevey, Raising Expectations and Raising Hell
Nicole Olive “Nonprofit Boss”
Merriam-Webster on the history of the term “ghosting”
We are Craig Gent, a writer and researcher living in Leeds, and Sarah Jaffe, a journalist and author based in London.
