This week, we’re talking colonialism and capitalism - on earth and in space. In the first half of the show, Eleanor Goldfield sits down with Jen Deerinwater and Ezra Star to discuss Disability Divest, a project that seeks to hold disability advocacy groups accountable - more specifically: how can you be an advocacy group for disabled people when you’re in league with those who create disabilities? Jen and Ezra discuss the connections between ills such as racism and xenophobia to ableism and how colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism create disability, and worsen existing disabilities. Next up, writer and researcher Zara Zimbardo joins us to discuss the concept album Marsification, how astro-colonial fantasies become reality as we turn our amazing earth more and more into mars. Zara outlines how we need to feel and reflect upon how our eco-anxiety is being hijacked, and how ideologies causing the destruction of our home planet, i.e. colonialism and capitalism, are the very same ones targeting what should be our global commons, the expanse of space.
