“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.
This week, we add some thoughts to our Your Party-related answer from last episode, in light of the latest news, and then we address a question about how to accept and give care. How to balance our own needs and wants, give and take, when the very means of survival are privatized?

Archie Woodrow, "Your Party’s Messy Public Breakdown Shows It Has Big Questions to Answer"
Sarah: “You Have To Shake Up the Status Quo”: Marilyn Sneiderman’s Struggle To Transform Labor
