Welcome to HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for all of us trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism.
This episode contains discussion of sexual violence; there is a content note at the beginning of the discussion, and it ends at 23:00.
This week, we sit with the news that U.S. labor icon Cesar Chavez had abused young girls, and consider the relationship between this story and a type of letter we often get. Then we hear an update of sorts from our Lonely Male letter-writer, and think about the challenges of being the friend who usually does the social labor: when do you get to take a break?
