Imagination Revolution: U.B.I.

Imagination Revolution: U.B.I.

By Kori Doty

Can you imagine what your life would be like if you knew that your basics would be covered?

Conversations about Basic Income structures are often spun to the neoliberal tune of "How much will it cost?", "How could we pay for that?", "People would do nothing!"

This is a different angle, where instead we look at the social losses incurred by NOT introducing UBI. People have gifts that aren't making it to society while folks are locked into eat to-work to-sleep to repeat cycle.

Join us to witness our guided visualizations of the futures we want to live.

The Spaciousness of A Supported Life

The Spaciousness of A Supported Life

A conversation with brow tamer and pleasure seeker Reia Lance exploring how pleasure, connection and balance can grow in the spaciousness of a supported life. Our conversation makes the full circle from day sex to informed consent for shadow play,  stopping along the way to talk about sleep timing, personal agency,  orienting the body and nervous system to pleasure, calling in sick,  dreamy victorian mansions with dungeons in the basement and being in  relationships with systems in balance.

Jess DeVries: Unpacking Shame and Learning to Feel

Jess DeVries: Unpacking Shame and Learning to Feel

Somatic Sex Educator and Sexological Body worker Jess DeVries of Portland, Oregon joins me to discuss slowing down, learning to feel, making up for gaps in shitty sex ed, and how all that ties into imagining our way out of a system that exploits us and deprives us agency.  In the original recording, all Kori's audio was too compromised to use, so they combed through it, transcribed what they could and re-recorded their side of the conversation. While it may at points seem like there is less laughs and agreement passed between us than would be expected, that's why.  You can find Jess online at https://www.patreon.com/BelovedCoaching/ , https://www.belovedcoaching.net/ or on IG @BelovedCoaching This is the first episode I have recorded and am releasing since I took a year long hiatus to devote my attention to my partner Coco through cancer treatment. That process continues but I am back to recording this show and booking guests to come on and share with me and my listeners what they would do if/when all their basics are guarenteed.

1: How Do We Even Imagine? With Hope Warren

Hope Warren is a 41 year old disabled trans woman. She is currently taking some time outside the conventional workforce as she recovers from injuries incurred as a blue collar & trades worker. We talk about how hard it can be to even entertain questions like, "What would you do if money wasn't an issue?" and get into a bunch of fun side tangents like how gender and value are socialized, how capitalists are sucking at capitalism, and the process of unlearning grind culture to enable healing.  Support this show and my other projects by becoming a backer on patreon.com/koridoty and follow all my work at koridoty.com

Imagination Revolution: UBI. 0)The Invitation

Imagination Revolution: UBI. 0)The Invitation

This is the seed. A show will grow from it, but first it is taking some time, sitting in the moist, dark; ruminating, building up potential. From this seed great things will grow- keep an eye out.
