The Be-All End-All: Why Immediate Support & Strategic Advocacy Are Both Necessary for Collective Liberation
Faith Organizers Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams dive into the long-standing tension in the repro freedom movement between immediate structural support and long-term advocacy. As abortion funding and mutual aid priorities are advanced alongside litigation and culture change strategies, finding the balance between various essential elements of repro freedom work can seem daunting. Come along as Kelley and Terry make sense of a sustainable balance between the immediate and the strategic, addressing specifically the recent rift between abortion support organizations and big national campaigns — all while seeing future possibilities through spiritual, literary, and liberationist lenses. ...

They’re now moving onto Twelfth Night and, from the looks of things, they’ll be devoting the same amount of time there. Today, Korey and Elyse join us to discuss one...

It seems impossible to imagine now, but hundreds of years ago, records were pretty thin -- even if you were a famous poet, playwright, and actor like one William Shakespeare, who totally disappears from public record from the years of 1578-1582 and 1585-1592.

Shakespeare's ability to write convincing human emotions is one of the reasons why he remains such a popular playwright to this day.

And the warts are what we're talking about in today's episode, in which we take a look at the roots of jealousy in Shakespeare's plays. From the murderous rage of Othello to the living room comedy of The Merry Wives of Windsor, jealousy gets its hooks into Shakespeare's characters in ways that are both surprising and surprisingly mundane.
