On the Intersections of Boredom

Maybe this episode will make sense to some of you, or maybe it won't. But hear me out.

I started thinking a little more deeply about boredom and how terrible it feels for people.

Then I started thinking about the messages we got when we were bored growing up and how they felt. It led me to think that if something like boredom can be so connected to doing things and what it means if we're NOT doing things, then surely it must be connected to capitalism and if it is, then surely depending on who you are there's always an underlying message of what we've learned to make it mean about different people when they're bored...

and what systemic barriers gets hidden in society when we do that.

This episode introduces some initial thoughts about the intersection of boredom and different identities (some of which I definitely rant on about better than others I think)  and I hope leaves you thinking about how we can rethink the ways we've been taught to think and feel about boredom.
