Summary

Sarah Jaffe is a journalist who has made a living by extensively covering labor and labor politics for the New York Times, The Nation, the Guardian, the Washington Post, the New Republic, the Atlantic. In her studies she unravels a myriad of reasons as to why work is “killing” us and examines this “labor of love” myth — the idea that certain work is not really work, and therefore should be done out of passion instead of pay. In conversation with Sarah Faith Gottesdiener, this episode brings a microscope to exploitive capitalist power structures, where the line is between power and abuse, and the way capitalism has brought down haunting limitations on all of us.    Sarah Jaffe Site: https://sarahljaffe.com/ Sarah Jaffe Books: https://sarahljaffe.com/publication-type/book/ Modern Witches Confluence: https://modernwitches.org/ Embodying Abundance Course: https://modernwomenprojects.com/products/embodying-abundance-online-course-sept21 Support our patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/themoonstudio Sign up for our newsletter: https://modernwomenprojects.com/pages/newsletter Follow Sarah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gottesss/ Visit our shop: https://modernwomenprojects.com/collections/all

Hello and welcome back to Moonbeaming, my dears. I am the

1:05.9

rill to be with you here today because we've got a special guest and we are talking about a

1:14.4

four-letter word as my mother would say, work, work, W-O-R-K, not cute work like drag queen work,

1:24.5

but work, W-O-R-K. Did you know that work simply means to do? That's what it means. That's like

1:34.0

the entomology of the word. Boy, has it become loaded? Has it not? Has it not? I think that now more

1:43.4

than ever is the time to interrogate and reflect upon our relationships to work and what we think

1:54.4

it means and how it could be different. I don't think we've ever lived in a time where more people

are questioning work, questioning their purpose, and questioning the system of capitalism.

2:11.2

You know, it's made up, humans made it up, and if you're sort of wondering why things are
