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?Stuff We Talk About:Fight the power – in your pyjamas: the film about the day Glasgow kicked out immigration enforcersDolores Huerta’s civil rights legacy was inextricably linked with Cesar Chavez.
