Summary
Prudence is joined this week by Charlie Markbreiter, who is an editor at The New Inquiry, cohost of the Art is Easy gathering, mod prince at the Death Panel discord, and a PhD student at the CUNY Graduate Center.
Prudie and Markbreiter tackle letters that ask if it’s unethical to apply to a job you don’t really need when unemployment is so high, what to consider after cheating on your live-in partner with someone in your new apartment complex, should you worry about enabling internalized racism because you’re dating a Black man, what to do when you constantly think about abandoning your disabled spouse.

| 0:38.4 | Some of you know that I published my latest book back in February. It's a memoir called Something That May Shock and Discredit You, and it's about being shocked and discredited. It's a little bit about Athena jumping fully formed out of the head of Zeus, and it's also a little bit about waiting for the rapture in the Midwest and the 1990s, but it's a lot of fun. |

| 1:01.3 | The audiobook will cost you just $12.99, and that's $5 off the list price. You will be hard-pressed to find a better deal, at least when it comes to memoirs by transsexuals who work at slate. |
