    Not listening to the news is a privilege, and we recognize that we are fortunate to not be directly impacted by the hardships, terrors, and atrocities of war.

    Alicia got the confidence to reach out to strangers on LinkedIn because of career coaching by Mandi Woodruff-Santos and the MandiMoney Makers.

    Diz talked about apathy and the presentation of self on social media. A great book is Goffman's Presentation of Self in Everyday Life.

    A large part of our conversation was about existential dread, or existential crisis, even though we didn't call it that.

    Why Climate Change Matters

    Other topics in this episode are self-isolation, the Rock Against Bush albums, history of whoring, selling self as a brand, pandemic of 1918, my body my choice, acceptance of refugees, panopticon, Texas, and information oversaturation.
