On the agenda today is true masterpiece of reality television, Below Deck: Mediterranean! Specifically: Season 6 Episode 16, "Sleepless in Croatia," which I've happily taught a few times now in my first-year cultural studies courses. 

Topics today include: surveying the realities of the superyachting industry, teaching emotional and affective labour, and cringing hard at the talent show the guests forcibly instruct the crew to put on. Come talk tv with me!

• Arlie Hochschild's interview in The Atlantic
• @âpihtawikosisân on Twitter / Chelsea Vowel's website / her tweet on "believing" the fires
• Urban Indigenous Collective and a link to donate to their work
