This week, one of us is halfway vaccinated! Guess which!
We've got an alarming amount of thoughts about the politics of care in the pandemic, the vaccine as "endpoint", what to make of the current state of the job market, how much TikTok counts as a work skill, and a ton of other things.

A lesser podcast would tell you to rate and subscribe at this point.
