Who would you be if no one was watching? In this episode I talk about the power of knowing someone's got their eyes on you. Why it's good (sometimes), why it's bad (sometimes) and how to break free (when needed).

This episode features the (not so) funny story of the end of one of my friendships and questions the way we are taught to center romantic love and devalue the platonic connections that so often enrich our lives.

Today's episode is a scream into the void and a reckoning with the reality that sometimes, to live is to suffer.

Sometimes it feels like all there is to do and think about is work. In Canada, our lives and identities are so tied up in our jobs that I can't help but wonder, "who are you outside of capitalism?"

This episode talks about capitalism, intuition and desire.

It also pulls on themes from my first zine "Oh to be A Cow Resting in the Green" where I talk about how shitty it feels to be beholden to capitalism and how to imagine a more fulfilling life.

P.S. You can watch Sam Jones' "Off Camera" interview with Brit Marling here.

Hello again, I'm back on my bullsh*t. New episodes every Sunday!

Today's episode is about surviving girlhood and womanhood while unpacking critique's of boyhood and masculinity.

*New's anchor voice* Are men trash? Is "not all men" a problematic phrase? Am I problematic because I "see both sides?" Find out this week on Her Anthologie.

The spirit of social discourse is becoming strained and unproductive. But without civil discourse — there is no civil society. If we can’t bridge the gaps of understanding between individuals, the seams of democracy will unravel around us.  What we’ve forgotten is that civil discourse is a reciprocal process. It’s not only about being heard, it’s also about listening. Living in a diverse society requires us to step outside of our experience and into that of another. To do this, we might employ a philosophical position created by John Rawls called the veil of ignorance (or the original position).

Look closely and you'll see that the government has created a problem, divided its people, and is now conveniently offering the illusion of a way out through the total erosion of human rights. Despite the indiscriminate lockdowns and increasingly oppressive measures targeting unvaccinated people –  COVID cases continue to rise among the vaccinated and unvaccinated alike. We’ve been running in circles and getting nowhere, but the government seems committed to bullying citizens into compliance. And since people are scared, tired and ready to get back to real life – they’re giving in, and giving up their freedoms in the process.

Living alone together describes the state of living within a community of people who are bonded more by their geographic proximity, rather than their social ties. It’s the feeling of recognizing your neighbours, but not really knowing who they are. It’s the curious sense of feeling lonely in a crowded room. It’s feeling alone – together.

This podcast explores feelings of isolation in modern society and how they may stem from a combination of cultural and personal sources. Who we are is, in many ways, inseparable from the cultural context within which we exist, however, we possess the agency to make choices that deviate from cultural norms. This piece explores the interplay of structure vs. agency as it relates to the social mechanisms that paradoxically create both chaos and order in our lives.

This piece is not driven by heavy research, but is instead a more casual opinion piece influenced by own unique perspective.

This piece explores the thin boundary that exists between acts of self care & self harm. We need to eat healthy, but overly restricting can become a pathology. Sometimes we need the rest, but laying in bed past 12pm every day can start to make you feel sluggish and useless. Sometimes we need to push ourselves to go out, other times forced socialization is a special kind of hell.

Today we're talking about the rise of thrifting & the myth of scarcity. Are thrift stores raising their prices because they no longer have enough clothes? Are our clothes even going to local people in need like we think they are? Short answer, no.
