During the Hollywood Reporter's roundtable for documentary filmmakers, the woman who made a doc about Frida Kahlo said, “There's a whole universe of people who are incredibly invested in Frida. We heard from a few, making sure that we didn't call her a “feminist,” because that word didn't exist when Frida was alive.”I don't doubt that a lot of people are invested in Frida Kahlo and I don't doubt that her feminism is contentious – but “feminist” was absolutely a word in Frida's lifetime. It had been for many years by the time she might claim or not claim it. It's possible it was not yet popular in Mexico but at least here in the states it was well known enough to appear in newspapers as early as the 1910s. They dedicated a lot of space to the subject. There were debates here in New York City.To keep reading Forgetting Feminist History visit the Songs for the Struggling Artist blog.This is Episode 440Song: Don't Forget Me When I'm GoneImage of Members of the 19th Airlift Wing & the U.S. Air Force ‘Wings of Blue' Parachute Team, which was just deleted from the U.S. Air Force website.

He just couldn't do it. The calm, reflective presidential Donald Trump owned the first 20 minutes of the debate with a nervous, dry mouthed Kamala Harris. It looked like the beatdown was on. But nobody could predict the precision Disney Corp, owner of ABC News and best friends with the DNC, would demonstrate to produce the rest of this broadway show. It was not good for Trump as he took the bait.

Episode Summary: In episode 188 of the Aerospace Advantage, Front Line Air Mobility Revolution: 317th Airlift Wing Conversation, Heather “Lucky” Penney chats with 317th Airlift Wing Commander Col Thomas Lankford. Based at Dyess AFB and equipped with C-130Js, the men and women of the 317th are executing their missions in one of the most transformational eras regarding air mobility. After three decades of operating in relatively permissive environments, much of it in regionally focused theaters, new mission demands in the Pacific and beyond require airmen to develop new tactics, techniques, and procedures to ensure necessary personnel, equipment, and supplies get to the point of need. Lethal threats, directed both at aircraft in the sky and forward operating bases, are radically reshaping mobility requirements. So too are the vast distances of the Pacific. New operating concepts like agile combat employment and the need to flow vast quantities of materials necessary to sustain a full-fledged major theater conflict are also posing distinct challenges. This episode will explore these variables from a cutting edge flightline perspective.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Since 9/11, more than 30,000 service members or veterans have committed suicide, which is more than four times that of those who passed away in combat over the same period. According to the DOD Suicide Prevention Office, in 2023, there were 92 suspected or confirmed suicides in the National Guard, which brings the total to over 400 guardsmen since the start of COVID-19, not counting Q1 of 2024, which have yet to be released. In this episode, 2nd Lt. De-Juan Haley is joined by Brianna Baker-Meckley, the 130th Airlift Wing's new Director of Psychological Health, Capt. Brittany Hypes, a Critical Care Nurse with the 130th Airlift Wing CERFP who, for the past year, has worked as the Suicide Prevention Program coordinator for the unit, and 1st Lt.

Episode Summary: In episode 183 of the Aerospace Advantage, 89th Airlift Wing: Understanding the Mission of SAMFOX and Beyond, host Heather “Lucky” Penney chats with Col Angela Ochoa, commander of the 89th Airlift Wing. They call themselves “SAMFOX” – which stands for Special Air Missions Foreign. These are the Airmen who are best known for flying our nation's most senior and elected leaders, like the President of the United States on Air Force One. Sometimes this is for a major diplomatic function that's been months in the making; other times it's an unexpected trip where it's crucial to get the right leader on the ground ASAP for diplomatic purposes or to respond to a crisis. This episode takes a special look at the 89th to learn more about their mission, the aircraft, and the people who all make it possible—flight crews, maintenance personnel, aerial port personnel, communication and cyber professionals, security forces, and all the other support individuals. Any unit in the Air Force holds high standards, but the expectations for folks serving in the 89th are in a league of their own. Join us for this fascinating conversation.

Historically, the church has a tendency to colonize as a means to achieve growth. To break that dynamic, new models need to emerge. Enter DisciplesNEXT, a methodology from Rev. Dr. Jose Martinez and the New Church Ministry Team of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). In this conversation, we talk about how the model emerged, how it seeks to be different from previous models, and what are the "ecclesial minimums" or "faithful marks" of what it means to be a church. He also emphasizes the importance of deep listening, dialogue, and considering diverse community inputs in shaping the future of the church. Rev. Dr. Jose Martinez serves as the Minister for New Church Strategies for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Jose also created a ministry as an Incubate participant with the National Benevolent Association called StoryWagen. Additionally, he is co-planter of Multi Nation Christian Church, which is the largest and only Haitian Ministry in the Midwest for the Disciples of Christ and along with planting MissioKC Church. Co-vocationally, he is an endorsed Protestant Chaplain, at the 139th Airlift Wing in St. Joseph, Missouri and a chaplain with Truman Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri. He has served in different capacities in ministry from the regional level to local congregations by bringing innovative and entrepreneurial ideas about the shifting paradigm of church. His mixture of talent, tenacity, and experience has helped him in all contexts of ministry, which was recognized by the Air National Guard in 2016 by awarding him the Samuel Stone award. https://newchurchministry.org/introducing-impact/ https://newchurchministry.org/about/disciplesnext/ Presenting Sponsor: Phillips Seminary Join conversations that expose you to new ideas, deepen your commitment and give insights to how we can minister in a changing world.

Col. Michael Parks, the new commander of the 94th Airlift Wing responsible for Dobbins, emphasized the importance of the base's surroundings and potential encroachment. While there are no plans to change the base's mission, continued growth and encroachment could pose challenges. The Pentagon is considering relocating part of the 81st Readiness Division to Dobbins, potentially bringing 700 more soldiers and a $78 million investment. Attendees were urged to lobby congressional representatives to avoid short-term funding via continuing resolutions. Lockheed Martin's Marietta plant, adjacent to the base, is experiencing growth and recently secured a significant aircraft order from Australia, ensuring production until 2030. STORY 5: Cobb School District says reading bowl still on while questions remain The Cobb County School District is refuting reports that the 2024 Georgia Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl (HRRB) has been canceled due to controversies surrounding books. The district confirmed that preparations for the HRRB, open to students in grades 4-12, are underway and will commence in January. Concerns arose because some teachers and media specialists fear repercussions after recent incidents, including a teacher's termination for reading a book on gender inclusivity and the removal of two books from school libraries for containing sexually explicit content. The removals have created a climate of fear among educators who worry about job security. The district denied these allegations and requested specific details rather than media reports to address the claims. Story 6: Kennesaw State gets long-awaited game with Chattanooga Kennesaw State's football program will finally face off against Chattanooga, a fellow Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) program located less than 100 miles away, after previous scheduling difficulties. The matchup is significant for Kennesaw State as it transitions to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and Conference USA next year. Coach Brian Bohannon expressed a desire to play nearby teams to engage the fan base and increase familiarity with opponents. So far, Kennesaw State has played 12 games against current Southern Conference (SoCon) programs, with a record of 8-4. This game against Chattanooga marks a long-awaited addition to their schedule, with limited future SoCon matchups currently planned.
