How To Survive The End Of The World

The currently single Brown sisters discuss some of what they have learned about sustaining love - love for ourselves, love in relationship, love over time. They begin gathering a toolbox for sustaining love. They give us love homework. -- HOW TO SURVIVE MERCH IS WAITING FOR YOU! --- TRANSCRIPT --- Music by Tunde Olaniran and Mother Cyborg --- HTS ESSENTIALS SUPPORT Our Show on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Endoftheworldshow PEEP us on IG https://www.instagram.com/endoftheworldpc/ TWEET @ us https://twitter.com/endoftheworldPC --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/how-to-survive-the-end-of-the-world/message

bell hooks offers us the wisdom that “love is an act of will, both an intention and an action.” in this episode the brown sisters explore hooks’ critique of the idea that we “fall in love”, the difference between falling in love and choosing to love, and how distinguishing between the two helps us to love in a way that protects and liberates the heart.

Ethan Lowenstein teaches us the basics of place-based education and how it knocks down the wall between school and community to better prepare students to live empowered, active lives. Then Julia Putnam, Amanda Rosman, and Marisol Teachworth (administrators at the Boggs School) tell us how language arts, science, and social studies classes
