Hello and 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 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."

Referenced in this week's episode: Lester Spence, The Counterpublic Papers, Vol 8 No. 20

Lynne Segal, Slow Motion: Changing Masculinities, Changing Men
