As this year comes to a close, we’re releasing a Best of 2024 series—by no means objective, and making plenty of tough decisions to leave a few favorites out. We’ll be back January 13th with new episodes.Original description: Beatrice speaks with Stefanie Lyn Kaufman-Mthimkhulu about attempts to dismiss Aaron Bushnell’s self immolation as mental illness, and why settler colonialism relies so heavily on drawing lines between madness and “reason.”This episode was originally released on February 29, 2024.Transcript: https://www.deathpanel.net/transcripts/aaron-bushnellMore on Project LETS here: https://projectlets.org/Find our book Health Communism here: www.versobooks.com/books/4081-health-communismFind Jules' new book, A Short History of Trans Misogyny, here:https://www.versobooks.com/products/3054-a-short-history-of-trans-misogynyDeath Panel merch here (patrons get a discount code): www.deathpanel.net/merchAs always, support Death Panel at www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod
