Living With Fascistic Paradox: The Check-In with Danielle Moodie and Jared Yates Sexton

It was, as always a joy getting to hang out and talk with my friend Danielle Moodie. On this episode of The Check-In, we discussed the paradoxical state of living under a fascist regime that is attempting to dominate our minds, our spirit, and our time. It requires finding and holding onto joy while also understanding the threats we face, all while not allowing the fascists to steal our joy and ourselves. If we’re not careful, they will twist us into a mirror of them: joyless and angry and inescapably miserable. This is advanced-level stuff that many of us haven’t had to learn how to do, but now it’s required of us.

Thank you for everyone for tuning in and for the kind words. This project is one of my favorite things going right now and I always leave our Wednesday chats feeling better and more focused. I hope it’s helped you feel the same way. We’re taking next week off but will be back July 23rd with the next episode.
