The vast majority of care recipients are exclusively receiving unpaid care from a family member, friend, or neighbor. The rest receive a combination of family care and paid assistance, or exclusively paid formal care. Whether you're a paid home care provider, or rely on personal assistance to meet your daily needs, or a family member caring for a loved one, the nature of the working relationship depends on mutual respect and dignity. During this week's anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, we'll revisit the dynamic and complex relationship of care receiving and giving. Covering the movements, issues and people fighting for some of the most important social justice issues of our time. Hosted by Amy Gastelum, Salima Hamirani, Anita Jonhson, and Lucy Kang.

This week, we look at the outcome of the case against Sean ‘Diddy' Combs in the US - and how evidence of domestic abuse, coercive control, and power dynamics were ignored and misunderstood with the help of our media. We also discuss those viral videos of fans queuing to see Chris Brown, a convicted abuser, on the same week he stands trial for Grievous Bodily Harm. After the break, welfare is taking a bashing on both sides of the Atlantic. But did you know the UK and US already fall far down the rankings when it comes to state benefits? Labour has been ridiculed for yet another ‘U-turn', as benefit cuts are reversed and Rachel Reeves' crying face is plastered on every front page. Is it the ableism of the U-turn coverage, or the sexism or the Reeves coverage, that'll win this week's media storm prize? We end with Eyes on Palestine - has the world had the wool pulled over its eyes by Netanyahu's "new aid plan"?

Download Welcome to episode 435 of LOTC and the crew is looking at the theme, Disability Horror with Ian Irza. Ian came up with the theme this week and it is a very interesting topic that you don't hear as much about.

During this week's show the crew will discuss their thoughts on the theme as well as full reviews of 2016 Mike Flanagan's break out hit HUSH as well as 1967 Terence Young's Wait Until Dark starring Audrey Hepburn.

What does punk rock have to do with the heart of the Gospel? In this episode, the Voxology team, joined by the Dr. Timothy Gombis, dives deep into the unexpected intersections of radical community, inclusivity, and the teachings of Jesus. From punk rock's raw authenticity to the profound ministry of disability-focused communities that Mike recently experienced at the "Hope Heals" camp. The conversation explores how cruciformity—the self-giving love of Jesus—emerges in unlikely places. Along the way, they unpack the role of the church in society, faith and politics, and navigating cultural challenges with humility and curiosity. By reflecting on the ways marginalized voices reveal the Gospel's power, the team challenges traditional notions of faith and invites listeners to reimagine how justice, community, and theology come alive in everyday life. Whether discussing mutual ministry, the prophetic edge of punk culture, or stories of transformative love, this episode is a powerful reminder that the Gospel is both disruptive and healing. We encourage and would love for you to join this conversation. Share your thoughts on how faith intersects with culture and community on Facebook and Instagram, or email us your questions as we pursue deeper understanding together. Let's journey forward in learning, dialogue, and the radical love of Jesus.

In Part One, Brian walks us through the pivotal moments that shaped his path—from coming out as a college athlete to confronting power structures as a civil rights lawyer. He shares how being raised by military parents shaped his moral compass, how football taught him about leadership under pressure, and why he believes his queerness has made him a better, sharper advocate. This is the story of a public servant forged in fire—and not afraid to stay loud.Key Highlights of Our Interview:The Day Job and the Gay Job“There was work I did to earn a living. And work I did to sleep at night.”Brian's legal path wasn't linear—it was moral. Disability law by day, LGBTQ+ advocacy by choice. The real career came when he fused both.Feminist Lawyer at Age 12“I told people I wanted to be a feminist lawyer… before I even knew what that fully meant.”His mother's defiance of gender roles shaped more than his politics. It gave him a framework for justice—before he ever came out.Raised by a Combat Nurse with a Crew Cut“She probably got accused of being a lesbian once a week in the military. It didn't harden her—it strengthened her.”Growing up with two military parents meant discipline and love. But it was his mother's quiet power that taught him to be an upstander, not a bystander.Coming Out—and Coming Into Power“My teammates waited until they knew I'd be safe to ask me if I was gay.”Brian's coming out wasn't loud—it was supported. That emotional safety net shaped how he now builds space for others.From Closet to Capitol“Eight months before I took office, I knew I was the only out person in the room. But I also knew I wasn't the only one.”Brian didn't just fight for LGBTQ+ rights—he stood up for racial justice, reproductive rights, and equality as a full strategy. Being gay got him elected. Being an ally kept him effective._______________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Brian Sims --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

We've collectively experienced rare diseases, organ transplants, various cancers, many surgeries and therapies, and lots of ableism and SpEd.

The state Legislature voted to cut funding for nursing homes and the state's disability waivers system to help balance the budget. The disability waivers system is linked to Minnesota's Medicaid program and provides home and community-based services to those with disabilities, helping them live in a community rather than an institution. In 2023, around 70,000 Minnesotans used disability waivers. Lawmakers say the cuts will “slow the growth” of the program. Linda Wolford, the government relations director for the Minnesota Council on Disability, joined Minnesota Now to explain.

In this powerful and deeply inspiring conversation, I talk with journalist and advocate Jackie Duda, who shares her extraordinary journey through chronic illness, disability, and survival. Once a thriving writer, Jackie's life took a sharp turn when she was diagnosed with autoimmune and connective tissue disorders including Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Crohn's disease, POTS, and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. But it was a near-fatal bout of sepsis in 2021, triggered by a colon perforation, that changed everything. Jackie opens up about the physical and emotional toll her health battles took on her and her family—and how she slowly, courageously found her way back. Now, she's using her voice to raise awareness about sepsis, chronic illness, and osteoporosis, and to help others reclaim joy despite life's hardest moments.

In this episode of Let's Talk, Yvie Jones explores an often-overlooked topic: the experience of body image in people living with disabilities. To help us understand, Yvie is joined by Juliette McAleer, a writer, researcher and disability advocate from regional Queensland. Juliette shares how she navigates the complexities of living with physical and psychosocial disabilities, all while recovering from an eating disorder. Yvie and Juliette discuss how ongoing medical issues, the system of care, and prejudice around difference can impact body image. Juliette shares how she learned to challenge societal standards and cultivate body kindness even when feeling good about her body was especially challenging. She also talks through how allies can better support disabled bodies with genuine inclusivity, understanding, and respect.

Devastation is the distraction, and the world is not being allowed to see. When will the focus shift back to Gaza? Resetting the camera angle for a convincing story. You are never locked out from learning more. Never say you are not good at politics. Gridlock excuses inaction. Leadership thrives when we feel helpless. The dirty details on the Iran debacle. Amplifying the need for clarity. The stage is on fire, and truth gets smoked out in distractions. The problem isn't chaos, it's multi-domain cleansing. Life is about planting the right seeds. The ultimate check play. This war, like others, has the same patterns and shields. The US is desperate to control China via naval assets. Energy supplies are key. By-product that are good for the Gulf. The new land based alternative. Iran is China's back up plan. Strategic disability for planners. Lip wristed pussies with no missile defense. The NATO member to watch is Turkey. They host US nukes. Russia's has real red lines. Chinese rail tech is a Trojan horse on tracks. And they watch everything. Trade flow leverage is real. When man's hand gets into the Bible, the written word is changed. Book two is out and it shows how they skew things. Shadow groups and code words. Let's all recognize the courage it takes to stand against the system that feeds off chaos.
