Friday Thread: Leaning Out

Nov 19, 2021
∙ Paid

The prompt for this week’s Friday thread comes from Culture Study reader Amanda, who asks:

What, outside of employment, gives you a sense of purpose, meaning, or fulfillment in your life? How do you separate your identity/self-worth from paid work inside our capitalist system? I'd love to hear about experiences/explorations of "leaning out," essentially.
