Deep Thoughts and Hot Hockey: All About Love Chapter 8 and Heated Rivalry Episode 3

Who knew that watching hot hockey romances in Heated Rivalry would be a fitting companion for Chapter 8 of All About Love by bell hooks?? So many parallels! Also, some welcome spice for the deep dives into love and community. Amy & Tommy discuss the cultural primacy of the nuclear family and its erosion of our ability to love. It's not as contradictory as it seems: we place so much importance on finding and keeping romantic love, often at the expense of the community and friendships where we practice, learn, teach, and spread love. Also, Bad Bunny.
