Man alive, I love doing these livestreams with . In this episode of The Check-In, Danielle and I talk about listening to the Self and recognizing what things bring us joy and what things deserve our time, our attention, and our labor. The vast majority of Americans spend their time running from themselves and avoiding any kind of discomfort, thereby putting off the necessary self-reflection that can defeat authoritarianism and lead to a better world.

Another week, another conversation with my friend . Just to start: I’m sick. Like, beat-up sick. We talked about that. About how even though an authoritarian takeover is happening, we are still living and going through all of our stuff. That takes a toll and adds to the overwhelming nature of things because living, even under the best circumstances, is hard work, and these are most certainly not the best circumstances.

I’m on the road but that didn’t stop me from getting on with my friend for our weekly Check-In. Today we talked the difference between living and the unnatural and unhealthy state that capitalism requires, which brought us to the problems with MAGA and even some people (and parties) that loudly proclaim themselves an anti-MAGA. Oh, and how men and their bullshit always form the base of authoritarianism.

In this episode of The Check-In, and I discuss the kind of self-work and self-introspection that this moment requires of us. There’s a need to find the things that nurture and replenish us as we withstand the onslaught of authoritarianism, but we also have to learn to sit in discomfort so that we can decide what we want our lives and the world to be.

In this week’s edition of The Check-In, and I talk about how this authoritarian push wears on you as a person and can leave you tired, demoralized, and, quite frankly, feeling crazy. We discuss looking around at an increasingly brutal and violent world and staying firm in saying it’s not okay and we deserve better.
