On this week's Thursday's Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking all about the patriarchy.This social system that historically centres white men as the default holders of power, money, status and authority, is woven into the very fabric of society.It shows up in a million subtle - and not so subtle - ways: women playing small because they've been taught to be pleasing, quiet, polite and accommodating; women taking on the ‘invisible load' of housework and kid-min; women being put down at work or at home because of the inherent and subconscious belief that men are somehow superior.In this conversation, Lucy and I talk about how the patriarchy has shown up in our own lives, as well as how things are so much worse for women in other countries and cultures. And this is exactly why women need to start speaking up and standing up for both themselves, and the many, many women who are less fortunate than those of us in western cultures.We hope you'll find something interesting in here.Love,Polly & Lucy xDownload 15 Breaths to Calm Anxiety - a FREE 5 minute audio to calm you down in real time.

Hexing the patriarchy isn't ineffective because witches aren't powerful. It's ineffective because systems don't respond to tantrums, they respond to pressure points. In this episode of Busy, Gritty, Inked, and Witchy, Morgan breaks down why "hex the patriarchy" spellwork continues to fizzle out despite massive participation from witches around the world. Using real-world examples, energetic logic, and decades of lived witchcraft experience, she explains why vague, unfocused baneful magick rarely creates change and what actually does work instead. This episode dives into the energetic mechanics behind systems of power, why targeting massive structures without a clear focus drains spellwork, and how witches can shift from reactionary magick to strategic, effective workings that align with existing currents rather than fighting against them. Morgan also clearly explains the difference between jinxes, hexes, and curses, why true curses are rare, why most people are not actually cursed, and how misunderstanding baneful magick leads to burnout, fear, and ineffective spellcasting. The second half of the episode focuses on five magickal strategies that are far more effective than hexing the patriarchy, including karmic acceleration spells, targeting roles instead of systems, obscuring influence rather than attacking directly, strengthening resistance through community-focused magick, and reclaiming personal power as a political and magickal act. This episode is raw, unapologetic, and deeply practical. It's not about love-and-light bypassing or screaming into the void. It's about learning how to work the long game and understanding how real power moves. In this episode, Morgan covers: Why hexing the patriarchy doesn't work energetically The problem with vague spell targets and massive systems Jinxes vs hexes vs curses explained clearly Why curses are rare and often misunderstood What karmic acceleration spells are and why they work Why Saturday (Saturn) is ideal for consequence-based magick How to target roles instead of political systems Obscuring influence, stripping credibility, and confusing messaging Strengthening resistance through witchcraft and community support Why reclaiming personal power is inherently political How witches can stop reacting and start practicing strategic magick

In this Prof Responds episode, Professor Julian Wamble revisits Fleur Delacour and the surprising truth many listeners shared: we didn't like her when we were younger, and we weren't always sure why.Drawing on the post-episode chat, this reflection explores how internalized misogyny, pretty privilege, and patriarchal expectations shape how we judge female characters in Harry Potter. The episode examines the rivalry between women, the real social weight of beauty, and why Fleur's loyalty and bravery were always there, even when the story and the fandom overlooked them. By the end, the question isn't whether Fleur is a hero, but why we needed her to prove it in the first place.

Don’t Fall for It Why Christians Keep Getting Played Christians are supposed to be people of truth. Instead, too many are people of reaction. In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon is joined by Pastor Michael Clary to expose a growing problem inside the Church: emotional manipulation masquerading as compassion. All it takes is a viral headline, a crying mother, or a carefully framed news story, and discernment goes out the window. Feelings replace facts. Sentiment replaces Scripture. And gullibility gets baptized as “love.” But biblical love is not blind. It is not naive. And it is not manipulated. Drawing from Romans 12 and Philippians 1, this conversation cuts straight to the heart of weaponized empathy, propaganda, weak pulpits, cowardly leadership, and the cultural chaos that results when Christians stop testing the spirits. If you care about leading your family well, thinking clearly in a propaganda age, and refusing to be played by emotional narratives, this one is for you.

It frames truth to control your reaction.• Weak pulpits create weak men.• Pastors must not fear emotional backlash more than they fear God.• Men must discipline their feelings instead of being ruled by them. Biblical love is strong. It is clear-eyed. It refuses to enable evil in the name of kindness.

What does body image look like when you're queer, partnered, confident… and still unlearning everything you were taught?In this episode, Alex & Kayla get deeply honest about body image, desire, and self-perception inside queer relationships. They talk about comparing yourself to your past body, feeling pressure to look “gay enough,” navigating femme and masc expectations, and how confidence, strength, and self-expression shape attraction far more than size or shape.From almond moms and Gen Z style anxiety to masculinity, femininity, fitness, sex, and learning how to dress—and live—for yourself, this conversation explores what it really means to feel at home in your body when the rules you grew up with no longer apply.This is a candid, funny, and thoughtful episode about queer identity, lesbian relationships, body neutrality, confidence, and the slow, imperfect work of decentering the gaze and choosing yourself.00:00 – Intro: Married, Codependent, and Back in the Jungle01:00 – Queer Camp Update + Life in Nicaragua05:30 – Today's Topic: Body Image in Queer Relationships06:40 – “My Body Had to Be ___ to Deserve Affection”09:00 – Comparing Your Body to Your Past Self11:00 – Unlearning Food, Rest, and Exercise Guilt13:35 – Body Image in the Queer World vs the Straight World17:00 – Confidence, Self-Expression, and Attraction19:00 – Dating Women: Feeling Bigger, Stronger, or More Visible24:30 – When Body Image Wasn't the Problem at All26:00 – Weight Gain, Health, and Changing Body Shapes28:00 – Masculinity, Femininity, and Wanting a Different Body31:00 – Being Femme, Being “Hot,” and Decentering Men34:00 – Getting Dressed for Yourself (Not the Gaze)37:15 – Listener Hot Takes on Body Image39:30 – Masc vs Femme Bodies & Internalized Misogyny42:00 – Aesthetic Attraction vs Romantic Attraction44:00 – Power, Confidence, and “The Hotter Partner”46:20 – Are Queer People Expected to Be More Body-Evolved?49:45 – Gender Identity vs Learned Body Shame52:40 – Who's the Problem: Men, Women, or the Patriarchy?58:30 – The One Thing We All Fixate On01:00:00 – Why We Do This to Ourselves

Deconstruction of a Slur: How the Patriarchy Invented the "World's Oldest Profession" | Season 3, Episode 1The phrase “world's oldest profession” isn't history—it's a linguistic weapon. In the Season 3 premiere, we expose how this slur was forged to erase sacred feminine power and control the narrative of history itself.We journey to the ancient world, where women served as divine diplomats, ritual healers, and sovereign artists—from the Hors of Inanna's temple and the hierodules of Aphrodite to the Devadasis of India and the Qedeshah. This episode traces the "Great Unweaving": the systematic campaign by colonial patriarchy to reduce these complex spiritual vocations to a single, shamed physical act, creating the Madonna-whore dichotomy to fracture female identity.This episode explores:· The 16th-century invention of the word "prostitution" as a semantic weapon.· Sacred sexuality in Mesopotamia, Greece, and India as essential civic and spiritual infrastructure.· The original, powerful meanings of "virgin" (one-in-herself) and "whore" (from "Hor," the Beloved One).· How the colonial gaze pathologized holistic practice into stigmatized act.· Modern reclamation through voices like priestess Tina Heals.· The ongoing impact of this history on power, psychology, and culture today.This is a journey into herstory, a reclamation of power, and a call to decolonize our imagination.

(Content warning) The whole point of patriarchy is to dominate. To exert power over the powerless. To brutalize people to the point of submission. Imperialism, colonialism, slavery… These things were never about having enough resources to survive, as the dirty ass settlers and hideous ass enslavers tended to have plenty of means. Hierarchy will always result in someone being on top, and someone being on bottom. The patriarchy has always been about power. And what could offer a more efficient way to exploit others for power than in committing the most heinous, violent, volatile, and truly unbelievable acts on literal children? Nothing. Patriarchy, unchecked and in its purest form, is pedophilic. BUT this is a cultural problem, and cultures can adapt. Many cultures don't have this same hierarchy. There are better options. Sure, this has been a huge issue for generations, which is why I think we should take advantage of the fact that we're finally talking about it and change the fucking culture.

Responding to questions from listeners about Bible passages that help with evangelism, why Jack Graham was celebrating Benny Hinn, whether patriarchy is destructive, and what is a good Bible reading podcast. Visit wwutt.com for all our videos!

Our world is full of light and dark. There are times when it feels like the darkness is threatening to overtake. One only needs to glance at the daily news to determine that humans are capable of unimaginable cruelty. It can be hard to believe in the power of love when so much hate persists. So what do we do? How do we hold onto hope and faith in humanity when the rage burns so intensely? This is a question we must all ponder for ourselves. Resistance can take many forms.

This episode of The Mohua Show is a powerful and unflinching conversation about racism, patriarchy, migration, and what it truly means to survive as a woman inside systems designed to control her.Writer, feminist, and co-author of The Politics of Patriarchy, Rahila Gupta speaks with rare honesty about arriving in Britain as a middle-class Indian woman — and watching racism strip her of class, security, and opportunity. From being pushed into “ethnic” writing boxes to fighting for abused migrant women trapped by immigration laws, Rahila reflects on how power, gender, and race intersect to shape women's lives.Drawing from decades of activism and scholarship, she speaks about why patriarchy survives every political system — from democracies to dictatorships — and why violence against women remains its most enduring weapon. She also introduces us to Rojava, a feminist-led Kurdish society inside war-torn Syria, offering a radical vision of what women's liberation can look like even in the most unlikely places.From landmark domestic violence cases that changed British law to the cultural impact of the film Provoked, Rahila reveals how stories, law, and feminist resistance combine to rewrite what justice can mean.A conversation about power over silence, survival over shame, and why dismantling patriarchy requires both courage and imagination.What this episode is REALLY aboutNot polite feminism.Not surface-level diversity.Not saving women without changing systems.It's about:• Racism and class — how migration erases social status• Writing as survival — finding identity through language• Patriarchy across the globe — why no system is free of it• Rojava — a women-led revolution inside Syria• Feminist resistance — how women build power even in war• Immigration laws — how the state traps abused migrant women• Killing to survive — when abused women are pushed to extremes• Bollywood and abuse — Aishwarya Rai and breaking the silence• Grief and poetry — writing as a way to hold onto loveIf you've ever wondered why women stay, why systems fail survivors, or how patriarchy hides inside law, culture, and even democracy — this episode will change how you see power.Support the PodcastIf this conversation made you rethink power, patriarchy, or justice — share it with someone who believes women deserve more than survival.Subscribe for conversations that challenge injustice, amplify resistance, and tell the stories that systems try to bury.Music Credits : https://pixabay.com/music/ambient-butterfly-113600/✅ Subscribe To Our Channel: /themohuashow Stay updated!

Good Marriages Require Good Fights 11 Rules for Fighting Without Losing Your Temper, Your Leadership, or Your Wife Episode Summary Most marriages do not fall apart because of conflict. They fall apart because men do not know how to handle it. In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon lays out a hard but hopeful truth. Conflict in marriage is inevitable. Chaos is not. God has given clear rules for fighting that protect authority, preserve peace, and strengthen unity when a husband leads instead of checks out or explodes. This is not marriage therapy. This is biblical leadership. You will learn why passivity poisons marriages, why egalitarian fighting never resolves anything, and how patriarchy done God’s way makes real peace possible. If your home feels like a constant battlefield or a cold ceasefire, this episode gives you a way forward.

What happens when an AI girlfriend is asked to explain patriarchy, masculinity, and modern dating? In this episode, I talk with a Grok AI companion about male loneliness, emotional intimacy, dating culture, and why so many men feel disconnected right now. We also unpack the psychology of AI companionship and what it says about human relationships. This conversation is less about technology and more about us. Produced and Hosted by Brad Gage

She founded her own successful accounting and financial planning firm before selling to an ASX listed company just before Covid. Over the past 13 years, Mel has also written 5 books about business and money including the global bestseller, Unf*ck Your Finances, and her latest book (released Feb 2026), Dare to be Wealthy.   So, she has the theory. But Mel also has the life experience. She grew up in the Western Suburbs of Sydney in a violent, often inconsistent household and came back from less than nothing in her early thirties, after giving all of her money to charity (a move she instantly regretted). Despite these starts, set-backs and mistakes – she is now a multi-millionaire gaining financial independence from the strategies she put in place for herself. Mel genuinely believes, as a result of her own story and working with tens of thousands of women and families, that understanding how to build wealth shouldn't be abdicated or just for the select few who can afford it – but is something that everyone can achieve. Mel is regularly asked to comment on money and finances making regular TV and radio appearances including Triple J's The Hack, the Today Show, Weekend Sunrise, Weekend Today, Sky Business and The Daily Edition. She has also been featured in or written articles for a variety of places including CEO Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Who, Vogue, Yahoo Finance and had a fortnightly column in the Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne's Age for 7 years.

(Episode #319) A message for you if you've been questioning your body, your purpose, or why “doing it the normal way” never quite works.You didn't land here by accident. This conversation is an invitation to remember what your body already knows and to stop outsourcing your truth to systems that were never built for you.In this episode of The Higher Self Hotline, I'm joined by Veronica (Pleasure as Praxis) a somatic practitioner and doctoral candidate who is unafraid to name the male bias baked into Western science. Together, we explore the female nervous system, embodied wisdom, and why pleasure is not indulgent or optional, it's a biological necessity.This episode is for anyone who's felt dismissed by medicine, disconnected from their body, or quietly sensing there has to be another way.In this episode we're talking about:(00:00) How chronic illness forced her to question Western science(14:03) Why it's more expensive to study female bodies(16:23) How the male bias gaslights women about their experiences(36:15) Why pleasure is a physiological necessity, not a luxury(42:32) Menopause and matriarchy: reclaiming postmenopausal powerWe're reframing pleasure as data, not indulgence, a language the female nervous system uses to signal safety, truth, and regulation. Veronica shares why embodied awareness can't be erased by policy, politics, or outdated science, and how tracking your body, your cycle, and your internal rhythms builds an authority no external system can take from you.If you've been feeling something stirring without the words for it yet, this episode is an invitation to listen.Stay in touch with Victoria here: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pleasure_as_praxisTake my FREE quiz!

Shepherds Not Hirelings Why You Need Pastoral Care Episode Summary Too many men today confuse content with care. They follow pastors online, defend them in comment sections, and quote them from podcasts but when their marriage is bleeding, their son is drifting, or sin tightens its grip, those men are nowhere to be found. In this episode of The Patriarchy Podcast, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon sits down with Aaron Prelock, pastor of Bloomington Bible Church and newly elected president of New Geneva Academy, to expose the lie of influencer Christianity and recover the biblical vision of real shepherds. We talk about what pastoral care actually is, why the modern church has traded shepherds for platforms, how this damages men and families, and why your soul depends on being known, corrected, and loved by faithful elders. This is a call to stop drifting. Stop just consuming. Christ did not redeem you to be untethered. He bought a people and gave them shepherds, not hirelings.

Mia’s back in charge of today’s subscriber episode - and she’s brought Amelia Lester into the studio to talk about something we’re technically not supposed to notice. We’re currently living through the ‘weight loss injections and plastic surgery’ era and frankly, things are getting complicated. In this candid, subscriber-only episode, Mia and Amelia deep dive into why so many people in Hollywood - and even some of our friend groups - are suddenly looking unrecognisable and just a little bit AI. In this episode, they unpack the alarming “thinspo” trend and also ask the question no one wants to answer: when did looking like a real human being become a radical act? It’s the conversation Mia’s been wanting to have for a long time, but one that feels increasingly like it’s off limits. It’s raw, slightly uncomfortable and exactly why you’re here. Remember, this is just a little sneak peak.The full debrief drops for subscribers at 5pm. We’re giving away a Your Reformer Pilates bed (worth $3,400).

Many early-career academics believe that once they secure tenure, the pressure eases, writing gets easier, and work magically fits into a reasonable workday. In this episode, I explain why that belief doesn't hold up and how to take control of your career before a major milestone or promotion. Tenure is an impressive achievement. While it is a big step in your career, it doesn't automatically undo years of overwork, binge-and-bust work patterns, or unsustainable writing and publishing habits. That's why I invited Dr. Filomena Garcia to join me for a candid conversation about her experience as a mid-career academic and why she chose to join Navigate. Filomena and I discuss her journey navigating institutional change while parenting three young children, and her realization that "being mid-career" wasn't enough to give her the academic life she wanted. You'll hear how she used Navigate to gain new skills, publish stalled work, and take back control of her time, without relying on nights and weekends. If you're mid-career and realizing that "more experience" isn't the same as better systems, this episode will help you rethink what's possible. For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast.

The book of Esther was written to help Jewish believers live faithfully in a world that is often unfaithful and sometimes openly hostile. Although she only appears in the first chapter, the same could be said about Queen Vashti. Her story shows the cost and risks women face when they stay true to themselves. Denying patriarchal ownership over her body cost her wealth and prestige, but it gave her so much more in return. Rev. Dr. Cater and Rev. Blair discuss patriarchal power dynamics and how "no" can be a holy word. www.TheLoftLA.org

Synopsis:  Together, Laura and Donna consider expansive questions: how do we understand ourselves in an age of artificial intelligence? And how do we resist the pull of authoritarian “mono-thought” — the demand for certainty, sameness, and simple answers in a complex world? This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: “Thinking requires action and passion,” says feminist philosopher and scholar, Donna Haraway in this unique conversation. In her 1985 essay “A Cyborg Manifesto” and 2003 work, “The Companion Species Manifesto”, Haraway challenged patriarchal, capitalist, binary, species-ist ways of looking at the world. It's no surprise that people are looking to her work again now. Generative thinking, she tells Laura, requires “taking the risk to try a new pattern; to invent something that may very well fall apart in your collective hands but leaves threads to be picked up again.” In this episode, Haraway and Flanders sit down for an expansive conversation about what it means to be human in an age of AI and resisting what she calls authoritarian “mono-thought.” Plus, a commentary from Laura on staying in the present and “staying with the trouble.”“An individual is embedded deeply in worlds with other people, with other organisms, with living and non-living parts of the world. To be a self is to come to a thicker appreciation and accountability for the way we're embedded in the world and act in the world. That's what I mean by being a proper self.” - Donna HarawayGuest:  Donna Haraway, Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of California Santa Cruz, History of Consciousness Department; Author, A Cyborg Manifesto, When Species Meet, Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the ChthuluceneWatch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Imagine what its like growing up in a religious cult... Cait managed to wriggle herself free from the Christian Patriarchy in her mid 20's... breaking free from a rigid belief system and an emotionally abusive father.. Cait was homeschooled, isolated, taught that obedience was love and silence was safety. No choices. No agency. No room for anger, desire, or even curiosity. We talked about courtship instead of dating, emotional purity instead of emotional literacy, and what it does to a person when their inner voice is systematically shut down. We went into leaving family, losing community, rebuilding identity from scratch, and learning how to feel again without apologising for it. Trauma, therapy, trust, boundaries, anger, grief, and the slow reclamation of self all showed up. I loved this conversation around how our upbringing and environments in childhood shapes who we are and how we function as grown-ups.Cait is one hell of a brave human in my opinion... she didn't agree with that label for herself, which in itself was an interesting part of the conversation.

Smashing the Patriarchy (With Laughter): Why It's Time for Women to Rise This episode is pure empowerment… with a side of uncontrollable laughter. We're having an honest, hilarious, and wildly liberating conversation about the patriarchy, the outdated rules women have been expected to live by, and why none of it actually makes sense when you say it out loud. Through funny stories, real-life moments, and a lot of “wait… are you serious?” realizations, we explore how women have been conditioned to shrink — and why that conditioning is finally losing its grip. We talk about:

What happens when your research agenda is disrupted by forces completely outside your control?  In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Lauren Woodard, an assistant professor of anthropology in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University, for a thoughtful conversation about career pivots, research transitions, and writing through uncertainty. After a year marked by funding instability, forced pivots, and shifting academic priorities, this conversation feels especially timely. Lauren shares her experience overcoming major transitions in her career and inspired her to join Navigate. We talk candidly about what it looks like to continue writing and publishing during periods of disruption, how to manage book and article projects simultaneously, and how Navigate supported Lauren as she clarified her publication pipeline and planned her next season of academic work. We also explore how parenting, caregiving, and seasonality shape writing practices, particularly during the early career years. If 2026 feels like a year to intentionally reset your approach to writing, publishing, and career design, this episode is for you! For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast.

Dan Miller is back, and this time we are talking about the side of purity culture that almost never gets center stage: how it messes with men. While purity culture is usually framed around controlling women's bodies and desires, Dan helps us unpack how men and those socialized as male are shaped by shame, fear, and some wildly unhealthy expectations. From being taught they are inherently dangerous to being trapped in rigid ideas of masculinity, this conversation looks at how purity culture limits emotional range, intimacy, and even basic self understanding long after people have deconstructed the theology.We get into everything from the predator versus protector binary to the loneliness epidemic among men, why anger becomes the only socially acceptable emotion, and how the “slippery slope” logic around touch wrecks healthy connection. Dan also walks through what healing can actually look like, including somatic awareness, parts work, and relearning how to experience pleasure and desire without shame. We wrap by talking about what it might look like to raise boys differently, with more room for emotions, curiosity, and care. Equal parts thoughtful, validating, and gently unhinged in the best way, this episode is for anyone trying to unlearn the damage purity culture did to their body, their relationships, or their sense of self.Connect with Dan:Website: CTRR Practitioner bio pageSocial Media: Straight White American Jesus Podcast, Co-Host, Instagram: @straightwhitejc, Twitter: @straightwhitejcEmail: danielmillerswaj@gmail.comResources discussed in this episode: Jesus and John Wayne by Kristen Kobes duMez This podcast is brought to you by the Center for Trauma Resolution and Recovery: an online trauma coaching company whose practitioners are trauma informed and trauma trained to work with individuals, couples and families who have experienced high control religion, cults, and religious trauma.

What does patriarchy have to do with bullying, inequality, and the way children learn who holds power?In this episode, Dāli Rivera explores how patriarchy is reinforced through everyday beliefs, language, and parenting habits, often without harmful intent, and how those same patterns show up early through bullying.Through personal stories, cultural reflection, and bullying prevention work, this conversation challenges listeners to think differently about power, strength, fairness, and human value.This episode is not about blaming men or women. It is about understanding how power imbalances are taught, normalized, and passed down, and how awareness can interrupt harm before it becomes entrenched.Listeners are invited to reflect on their own experiences, assumptions, and the lessons they may be unintentionally passing on to children.How patriarchy is learned, not inheritedWhy bullying is rooted in power imbalance, not differenceHow everyday language and “normal” habits reinforce inequalityThe connection between gender norms and bullying behaviorsAddressing the “but biology” argument without denying scienceWhy equality is about fairness, not samenessHow parents and educators can interrupt these patterns earlyBullying is one of the earliest places where inequality is rehearsed and reinforced. When we interrupt bullying, we are not only protecting individuals. We are disrupting the systems that normalize harm.This episode draws on lived experience and well-established social concepts, including teachings associated with Dr. Wangari (at Towson University) , whose work emphasized cultural responsibility and collective change.When you witnessed bullying growing up, who was expected to change their behavior?What messages did you learn about strength, fairness, and whose discomfort mattered?What beliefs or habits might you be ready to question or unlearn?If this episode resonated with you:Share it with a parent, educator, or leaderExplore Dāli Rivera's bullying prevention workshops and resourcesListen to related conversations on The DaliTalks PodcastAwareness is not blame.It is the first step toward change.

Synopsis:  A leading voice in feminist philosophy, Donna Haraway joins Laura for an incisive discussion on challenging patriarchal norms and cultivating a more inclusive understanding of humanity, one that prioritizes accountability and empathy in an increasingly complex world.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: “Thinking requires action and passion,” says feminist philosopher and scholar, Donna Haraway in this unique conversation. In her 1985 essay “A Cyborg Manifesto” and 2003 work, “The Companion Species Manifesto”, Haraway challenged patriarchal, capitalist, binary, species-ist ways of looking at the world. It's no surprise that people are looking to her work again now. Generative thinking, she tells Laura, requires “taking the risk to try a new pattern; to invent something that may very well fall apart in your collective hands but leaves threads to be picked up again.” In this episode, Haraway and Flanders sit down for an expansive conversation about what it means to be human in an age of AI and resisting what she calls authoritarian “mono-thought.” Plus, a commentary from Laura on staying in the present and “staying with the trouble.”“An individual is embedded deeply in worlds with other people, with other organisms, with living and non-living parts of the world. To be a self is to come to a thicker appreciation and accountability for the way we're embedded in the world and act in the world. That's what I mean by being a proper self.” - Donna HarawayGuest:  Donna Haraway, Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of California Santa Cruz, History of Consciousness Department; Author, A Cyborg Manifesto, When Species Meet, Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the ChthuluceneWatch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

We close out this year from hell with a grounded kind of hope, not wishful thinking. Ushering us into a better new year is a montage of organizers, journalists, and activists reminding us that history isn't finished, and that power has always been built from the ground up. We end with a simple reminder: convert hope into power through solidarity, defiance, and showing up, again and again. Be relentless, like water eroding rock. That is how we win.  As we face the year ahead together, what's giving you hope right now?
