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 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. And then we look at a question that Sarah's been getting asked a lot on book tour: how do you grieve when the thing you're grieving isn't over, or never ends? Stuff We Mention: Ordinary Unhappiness Podcast, featuring Sabrina Strings on The End of Love Natasha Lennard, The Uses and Abuses of Politics for Sex Chal Ravens, Monogamy is Cool, Actually Sarah, Beyond the Nuclear Family Cara Daggett, Petro-Masculinity and the Politics of Climate Refusal We are Craig Gent, a writer and researcher living in Leeds, and ⁠Sarah Jaffe⁠, a journalist and author based in New Orleans.
