Über diesen Titel

“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.

    Episode 35: Patience is a Practice, with Kelly Hayes
    Jan 26 2026
    Welcome to HEART REACTS, an advice podcast for all of us trying to remain emotionally functional through the collapse of late capitalism. 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.Stuff We Talk About:Kelly Hayes, Read This When Things Fall ApartKelly Hayes and Mariame Kaba, Let This Radicalize YouKelly Hayes: Organizing my ThoughtsKelly Hayes: Movement MemosMovement Memos: We Must Burst Our Algorithmic Bubbles and Build Together Across Difference (the Social Deskilling episode)Our social deskilling episode, if you missed itIf Anyone Can Pull off a General Strike, It’s MinnesotansIs Marriage the Building Block of Society?

    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, we survived the holidays, and we have some thoughts on emotional libertarianism to share with you. Some of you have asked what we mean by this term, which we've used occasionally, so we took the opportunity to dig into it a little bit. And then, we answer a question about what it means to be a romantic, anyway.We need your questions!!
