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?

This week we have a follow-up from a previous questioner who wants more advice on what to do when your union breaks your heart--how to forgive, how to forget, and how to fix a labor movement that often doesn't take its duty of care seriously. And of course we check in about dogs, films, and life in late capitalist hell.

This week is a special episode, so it's dropping on Monday. We're bringing you a very special guest, Menominee author, organizer, journalist, editor, podcaster, and friend of the show Kelly Hayes. Kelly is just out with a new book that she's edited, a collection of letters to comrades from comrades, for moments when the struggle feels hopeless. It's a form of advice book, and so we thought it would be a great time to get Kelly on to talk about her work, and her concept of "social deskilling," which has been so important to us here at Heart Reacts.

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.

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! 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.)

This week, we break our streak of talking about polyamory--mostly. Instead, we try to help a listener deal with overwhelming grief and clutter, and then answer a question about substance use and how to support a friend without judgement.

And we have a special request for those of you who can: if you've been enjoying our music, which comes from “Casual Outrage” by New Orleans-based Basher, you can help out the man behind the music. Byron and his partner just lost everything in a devastating house fire, and there's a gofundme page to support them getting back on their feet. Thanks for your support and for sharing.

This week, we take on a question on "polyamory? in this economy?" We muse about hierarchies within and around relationship styles, love when the rent is too damn high, and what it means to think politically around sex and gender and the economy.

On this episode, we dive into the world of work, and talk about when and how to unionize your workplace to manage your bad boss. And then we dig into the thorniest of questions (particularly in an election year): when and how to have conversations with relatives, friends, acquaintances, neighbors who hold political views you just can't countenance. When is it worth it, and when is it time to walk away? We have thoughts.

This week, we tackle two questions about difficult conversations and decide that talking about "having the bandwidth" for friends, lovers, difficulties, and all the rest of the struggles of life is a lousy metaphor. We suggest some other ways to imagine ourselves in community.

This week, we answer a question about election fatigue, trauma, triggers, and movement work: how much is too much? And why is election-related journalism so godawful, anyway?

And then we dive into an advice column perennial: what do you do when your sex drive doesn't match your partner's--but with a sidebar question of what it means, anyway, to be a "good man."

This week, we're addressing a question about shame, kink, and finding love, and then diving into the thorny issues that arise when money is an issue in relationships: how do we deal with financial inequality?
