Before we dive into our series of episodes on "All About Love" by bell hooks, we're revisiting an essay from Jia Tolentino's "Trick Mirror". This season of the podcast is the season of love, and now that I'm about to get married, I read the essay "I Thee Dread" again.

We're pulling out an episode From The Vault. This episode is the first of a planned series of episodes about bell hooks' "All About Love." The series was intentionally intended to be a part of our Books Season, but these episodes are coming out for the fourth season, which, it's starting to turn out, is all about love.

Shortly after working on the series of episodes on "She Said", the book, I heard that there was a film adaptation about to be released. Here I am, a few months later, proven wrong about my initial impression.

“Quiet Quitting” has been making its rounds around social media. It’s this new buzzword of sorts, but is it really just being adamant about setting healthy boundaries with our work and the people we work with?

I reflect on my current situation of being mindful of my boundaries in a workplace that seems to not be so encouraging of such things.

This episode is the last in our miniseries on Jia Tolentino’s 2019 collection of essays “Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion.” Here it is: the last essay from the book that we’re diving into, “I Thee Dread.” This is going to be more personal compared to the other episodes in the miniseries. I think it’s because the topic of the essay—weddings and marriage—hits close home to me. Reading the essay was a journey in unexpected introspection.
