I knew that if I stayed subbed to this stack for long enough, sooner or later you'd raise yer stroppy head. Good on ya for being unfashionably openly politically engaged. I reckon we need more people what foment unrest these days, comrade!
I like that term "unfluencer", hafta propagate that one.
I listened to all the podcasts so far, warmed my weary GenX heart. Listened on the website cos I haven't got any podcast app. You could post your podcasts right here on Substack, save us some trouble, and we could point other substackers your way?
Helen, like most creatives leading a team to publish on socials, aren't you in every practical sense, a boss now too?
Have you understood and accepted your employer responsibilities? If so, are you willing to publish what code of conduct you uphold, and what recourse your employees may have if they feel you are failing it?
Do you understand that in holding key intellectual property and social capital needed for the viability of this project, you can replace people doing key jobs on your team, but they can't in any practical sense replace you?
How does that challenge this narrative?
By way of disclosure, I have two parents who were both active and lifelong union delegates, but have myself been an employer for approaching 25 years. In setting up my company I had to think long and hard about what sort of company it would be, and what sort of employer I would be. So this isn't a 'gotcha' question for me. I'm both ethically and professionally interested in how your paleoMarxist ontologies reconcile with the practicalities and ethics of what you're actually doing (noting too that this project is unlikely to be profitable yet -- though of course, I hope that it will be.)
I can't imagine why you're troubled. Guy, my dear friend and neighbour, is aware of the events described. I was merely demonstrating appropriate disrespect to Patricia.
Guys great, it's just that he's one of those writers that occasionally I find myself at odds with what he's writing but other times I could not agree more with him and wish I could express it like him.
Strangely. Because our sobriety aspirations are very unusual among our small but remarkably drug -fucked age range of sooks whose entire population is always on the wagon or falling off it or clinging to one if its spokes oh his kill me x
Thank fuck your here 🩷👏🏼👍🏼

Concealing your shapely gams is very brave x
It’s true. I am a bold inspirational figure xx lolololol
Nice one Helen. I came for the commentary, but stayed for the class rage.

Put out a bit by the mention of Guy Rundle, but also hopeful about reading more of his stuff, which I have missed.
Tony, Guy is posting approximately weekly to substack here: https://substack.com/@guyrundle

Oh. He is quite often full with shit but even then, it is shit borne of excellent nutrition and always offered with panache.
Poor Guy, he should have committed genocide.
edgy but true, comrade
Every time I read your work I want to take a few days off and buy you lots of beer. This is the highest praise I can give. Thanks Helen, never change.
i'm afraid i changed into a teetotalling nunx
Strangely, I don't drink either anymore. So it's to your credit that I have this visceral urge to break my vows.
