On Friday June 12, Albany Jewish Voice for Peace held a community anti-Zionist Shabbat, coming together as a community to share food, commit to radical solidarity and intersectionality, to support a free Palestine, and to build a Jewish community not centered on or dependent on Israel or Zionism. JVP was heartbroken to see the legal structures that have enabled Black political representation, and access to public space for trans people, being deconstructed by a fascist movement. This month service honored the resilience, leadership, and sumud of Black, Trans, Queer, Disabled, and Indigenous voices in our movements for liberation here at home, and in Palestine. The D'var was led by Jeid Ebanks, a Black and Queer Capitol District nurse and activist who shared reflections and poetry from her time volunteering in the West Bank and Gaza. At their dinner, we talked to Professor Larry Wittner, Ava Agree, Lanny Wilson, Branda Miller, and Jeid Ebanks. With Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Meet Angela Standridge, Director of the Texas Technology Access Program (TTAP) at the University of Texas. The program helps people with disabilities get access to assistive technology so they can live more independently.What is Assistive Technology (AT)? is any device, equipment, software program, or product that helps a person with a disability improve or maintain their ability to function.TTAP makes these tools easy to find and use. They not only have a library of available devices but also provide product demonstrations, 35-day loaner devices, recycled equipment, and information about national loan programs. Angela explains that the tool itself is not the full solution—the real solution is how the person uses it in their own environment to meet their specific needs. Listen in and find out how this amazing program allows those of us with disabilities to live a more independent life.Guest Social Media info - Website: https://ttap.disabilitystudies.utexas.edu/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UTTTAP @UTTTAPInsta: https://www.instagram.com/txtechaccess/?hl=en @txtechaccessYouTube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZXFb_pP3efgjRrTT4nMoeQ @texastechnologyaccessprogramBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/txtechnologyaccess.bsky.social @txtechnologyaccess.bsky.socialSend us Fan MailSupport the showYou can find this episode's transcript here.New episodes drop every other Thursday everywhere you listen to podcasts.

Disabled men are rarely able to get their sexual needs filled. That's where Sonia comes in - she not only offers specific services as an escort to accommodate disabled clients, but also gives them a discount. They make up much of her clientele, and have shaped her outlook on both work and life. We chatted about her experiences in sex work - not just with disabled clients, but with pro submission, 6 week trips with clients, her female clientele and so much more.

Alimony and child support only work if the checks keep coming. And in high-conflict divorces, or honestly, in any divorce, that is a far more dangerous assumption than most people realize. One accident. One illness. One unexpected death. And the financial foundation you spent months negotiating can disappear overnight. Karen McMahon sits down with financial strategist and CDFA Jeff Landers to pull back the curtain on the one protection most divorce agreements quietly ignore, using life and disability insurance to secure your alimony and child support payments before the ink is even dry on your settlement. What most people don't know is that the chances of your ex becoming disabled are three to four times greater than the chances of them dying. And yet disability insurance almost never appears in a divorce agreement. Jeff explains why that gap exists, what it costs you if you don't close it, and exactly how to bring it up during negotiations, while you still have leverage. Karen and Jeff also tackle the details that can make or break your protection: why you, not your ex, must own the policy, what happens when a paying spouse quietly stops making premium payments, how 26 states automatically revoke beneficiaries upon divorce without you knowing, and how to use insurance as a negotiating tool if you're getting pushback. If you're counting on alimony or child support to keep your home, feed your children, or rebuild your financial life, this episode isn't optional. It's the conversation your attorney probably never had with you.

Imagine setting out alone to walk almost 500 kilometres across some of the most remote and challenging terrain in Europe. That's exactly what Clare man Dermot Cosgrove is doing right now as he treks across Iceland from Húsavík in the north to Vík on the south coast, a journey expected to take 21 days. Originally from Ennis and now living in Kilkee, Dermot is undertaking the challenge to raise funds for Irish Dogs for the Disabled, a charity that provides specially trained assistance dogs free of charge to children and adults with physical disabilities. A former member of the French Foreign Legion and no stranger to adventure, Dermot joined Alan Morrissey from Iceland to tell us about the journey so far and the cause driving him forward.

Tech entrepreneur Steve Kirsch used advanced AI to analyze raw, independent datasets about mRNA injuries – and uncovered what “no public health official wants to know.” Legacy media continues to ignore the staggering reality of adverse reactions and side effects of mRNA for COVID-19. Steve Kirsch took matters into his own hands – and his latest analysis estimates that as many as 2 million Americans were seriously disabled by the shots. He joins Dr. Kelly Victory to share his methods, how he used AI to analyze the data, and why “not a single national public-health authority, anywhere in the world, has produced an estimate of the type we just constructed.” Steve Kirsch is a former Silicon Valley high-tech executive with two engineering degrees from MIT. He founded the COVID-19 Early Treatment Fund and the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (VSRF).

The history of disability rights is often treated as a modern story, but what if that framing misses centuries of earlier, more complicated history? This week, Thomas is joined by Professor Sari Altschuler, Associate Professor of English at Northeastern University, to explore her new book Before Disability: A History of American Citizenship. In the book, Professor Altschuler traces how disability and citizenship have been intertwined since the founding of the United States, and what that reveals about who America decided belonged and who didn't. In the early Republic, many physical and mental differences were accommodated within the framework of citizenship; by the antebellum era, however, those same differences had been weaponized as tools of racial exclusion, and eventually as justification for eugenics. Thomas and Professor Altschuler dig into the intersections of race, disability, and civic belonging, and what early American history can teach us about the fights happening today.

Sacrilegious Sunday is back, and this one goes from Hollywood acting debates to full-blown current-events chaos.Chino, Homeboy, and the crew open with the eternal question: Denzel Washington vs. Will Smith, one-take greatness, Training Day, Malcolm X, Glory, After Earth, Mark Wahlberg, and why some actors have magic while others just memorize the damn script.Then the show swerves into the news: Charlie Kirk free-speech fallout, people getting fired or arrested over social media posts, First Amendment lawsuits, settlements, and why everyone suddenly remembers free speech when the consequences start costing real money.From there, the military-veteran segment kicks in hard: veteran mental health, DD-214 life, military trauma, civilian coworkers, social anxiety, sleep deprivation, CPAP survival, and the secret inner violence of trying to complete a grocery list without losing your soul.Then it gets political: retired military speech rights, Pete Hegseth, UCMJ threats, military pensions, Mark Kelly, illegal orders, and whether retired service members still get to speak like citizens or get treated like property of the government forever.And because the country apparently woke up and chose “what the hell is this?” the crew digs into the viral claim that Congress is trying to “merge” the U.S. military with the IDF. Is it literally one combined military? No. Is the 2027 NDAA pushing deeper U.S.-Israel defense technology, weapons industry, cyber, drone, quantum, and military-industrial integration? Yeah, and that still deserves every side-eye in the room.Also: deployment cheating, Jody energy, Ring cameras, girlfriends making terrible choices, and the most awkward “get out of my house” moment ever caught on camera.This episode hits:Denzel Washington vs Will SmithCharlie Kirk free speech settlementsFirst Amendment hypocrisyVeterans and civilian lifePete Hegseth and retired military speechUCMJ and military pensionsMark Kelly illegal orders controversyU.S. Israel military integration2027 NDAAIDF, AIPAC, defense tech, cyber warfareDeployment cheating and Jody storiesChino & Homeboy podcast chaosLike, comment, subscribe, and tell us which part made you laugh, rage, or question the structural integrity of this country.TIMECODES00:00 Intro, Sacrilegious Sunday begins00:46 Denzel Washington, improv, and one-take greatness14:44 Mark Wahlberg, Two Guns, Shooter, Fear, and The Departed18:37 The avocado/testicle detour, because of course23:56 Charlie Kirk posts, free speech, firings, arrests, and settlements28:02 Military segment begins28:40 Veteran life, DD-214 reality, trauma, and civilian coworkers31:27 Disabled vets, hearing loss, social anxiety, and threat assessment42:52 Retired military free speech, UCMJ, Pete Hegseth, pensions49:10 Viral claim: Is the U.S. military merging with the IDF?58:27 Deployment cheating, Jody story, girlfriend camera disaster01:03:02 “Third time she cheated”, trust, proof, and why people stay01:09:13 The other guy finds out whose house it really is
In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott react to controversial headlines claiming people with ADHD and anxiety “shouldn't automatically get blue badges” — and unpack the wider stigma surrounding invisible disabilities.The discussion explores the public backlash around disabled parking permits for hidden disabilities, including ADHD, autism, anxiety, dyspraxia, and other non-visible conditions. Jordan and Simon reflect on why so many people still struggle to understand disability unless it is physically obvious, and how media narratives often frame disabled people as “cheating the system.”Funny, fiery, and deeply honest — this episode is a passionate discussion about disability, stigma, support systems, and why invisible disabilities are still disabilities.Our Sponsors:

On the day of his arrest, Richard Allen sat through an aggressive interrogation. According to the defense filings, Detective Holeman lied about witnesses and evidence, even used Allen's wife as a tool. Allen said: "I am not going to say something I did not do." Then they sent him to the most restrictive solitary cell in Westville — a maximum-security unit for the "worst of the worst." He was the first pretrial safekeeper anyone remembered being placed there. His diagnosed major depressive disorder entitled him to IDOC's thirty-day solitary limit. They kept him thirteen months. By five months in, Allen weighed 135 pounds and was gravely disabled. He was claiming to have started World War III. Over sixty confessions followed. He said he shot the girls. They were killed with a blade. He expressed confusion about acts for which no evidence exists. His psychologist, who controlled his privileges, reportedly told him she "needed more consistency" after one confession. The prosecutor mocked defense concerns on the same day IDOC classified Allen as gravely disabled. A 127-page evaluation concluded the psychosis was caused by solitary. Testing found no malingering. By August, Allen couldn't remember confessing. His first words to his wife: "I think I did it." Not a statement of fact. A broken man reaching for something that might explain why his world collapsed.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
IDOC's own policy caps solitary confinement at thirty days for inmates with serious mental illness. Richard Allen had a diagnosed major depressive disorder and a history of suicidal ideation. According to the defense filings, he was held in the most restrictive solitary cell at Westville for thirteen months — the first pretrial safekeeper anyone could remember being placed there. Within two weeks, he told his wife he was broken. By five months, he weighed 135 pounds, was psychotic, gravely disabled, confusing nightmares with reality. He confessed to shooting the girls — they were killed with a blade. He confessed to acts there is no forensic evidence of. Before solitary, Allen endured a confrontational interrogation and refused to break, telling investigators: "I am not going to say something I did not do." Solitary changed that. The prosecutor waited nine days to respond to the defense's emergency transfer motion — while investigators monitored Allen's confession calls — then called the defense's concerns "colorful" on the same day IDOC found Allen gravely disabled. Dr. Wala, who controlled Allen's privileges, noted after one confession that she "needed more consistency." A 127-page forensic evaluation ruled out malingering and attributed the psychosis to solitary. The jury heard the confessions. They never heard the audio, the expert testimony, or the context.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

hi hello hey — we're visually impaired Hopefully this isn't news to our audience considering we've made nearly 150 episodes of us yapping, largely about our blindness. We've done many an episode about disclosing our disabilities in different settings — jobs, friendships, dating, and learning how to say just enough without accidentally info-dumping on unsuspecting strangers. Even with the same jobs and friends, we still find ourselves disclosing all the time, but nowhere does it feel more constant than while dating. Cass is out there, and before meeting the love of her life, Case also often found herself playing what felt like a game: trying to disclose casually in a way that felt conversational instead of Serious™. Somewhere along the way, we realized we'd both become oddly skilled at finding ways to bring up blindness in nearly any topic of conversation. Naturally, we decided to turn it into an actual game. In this episode, we put our disclosure abilities to the test: can we find a way to disclose our blindness with any conversation prompt? related episodes For more episodes on disclosing, check these out: 14. life, love, & dating with a disability for our thoughts on dating way back in 2021 38. our jobs, discrimination, & unattainable goals on disclosing for work 44. the beginner's guide to disclosing disability on disclosing in dating and beyond 97. how we stopped word-vomiting all our struggles on oversharing or disclosing too soon 114. please, read the room!!! on when to disclose vs. when to let it go 124. we've changed our minds?: our 5 year podaversary on the ways we've changed over the years, including disclosure and accepting help Case + Cass during Case’s bachelorette, 2026
"There are a lot of people out there with disabilities who have a hard time understanding the world, unfortunately." – Zylo Marshal Zylo Marshall is a dedicated advocate for disabled rights and opportunities. Having faced profound personal challenges, including permanent brain damage from infancy and the loss of his mother at 14, Marshall transformed these hardships into a mission-driven life focused on helping others with disabilities. He is a licensed realtor who faced significant legal and systemic hurdles while trying to integrate into the professional world, and he now works to champion change for those in similar situations. His commitment to fostering supportive policies and systems for the disabled community is a testament to his resilience and advocacy. Episode Summary: In this episode of "Oh My Health, There Is Hope," host Jana Short welcomes Zylo Marshall, a passionate advocate for disability rights. Marshall shares his compelling journey through personal hardships, including early brain damage and navigating an inheritance dispute, which fueled his drive to support and empower others with disabilities. His story is one of resilience, highlighting the systemic challenges individuals with disabilities face as they strive for independence and success. Marshall points out that systemic changes provide safety nets, enabling disabled individuals to explore professional opportunities without fear of losing essential benefits. Throughout the conversation, Marshall and Short explore the critical concept of providing viable paths for the disabled community to enter the workforce. They discuss how current systems often trap individuals in a cycle of dependency, preventing personal growth and economic contribution. Marshall proposes implementing a more flexible trial work period for those on benefits, advocating gradual transitions that allow disabled individuals to test their capabilities in the workforce. Both agree that community support and legal protection are crucial to enabling these changes and urge societal shifts in perception and policy-making. Key Takeaways: Overcoming Challenges: Zylo Marshall's life story is an inspiring example of turning personal difficulties into advocacy and action for others with similar struggles. Systemic Barriers: Many disabled individuals face losing essential benefits if they attempt to work, which discourages exploration of personal potential and economic contribution. Policy Recommendations: Marshall suggests a gradual trial work program that enables individuals to retain benefits while testing their capacity to work, thereby reducing the risk of entering the workforce. Legal Support and Awareness: There is a critical need for legal advocacy and policy changes to protect the rights and opportunities of the disabled community. Community Action: Society plays a pivotal role in supporting these changes; community engagement and letter-writing can prompt legislative and systemic changes.

It's Friday and you know what that means...Klein took the day off! For real he has to go to his Niece's Bat Mitzvah in New York and is probably having a lot less fun than we are, but still, let's give him shit about it! Ally empowered Vanessa by letting her administer her IVF shot today, though she was shaking with anxiety the whole time and definitely watched the wrong YouTube video on how to do it. Listen to find out her weird 'three finger butt crack rule.' Listen to find out if Ally dies! We also got a new complaint from a 'former' listener who had opinions about a recent toilet-baby joke and Klein's recreation of a Disabled placard. Ally is also in trouble with her wife over something she said on yesterday's show that she shouldn't have, which landed her in the 'Malibu Moms' Facebook group. We also learned Johnny wants to stick things inside a chicken during Johnny Doesn't Know and that Ally's wife is completely delusional when she presented a new list of demands during El Cheapo.

Am I the Jerk? is the show where you can confess your deepest darkest secrets and be part of the conversation.
More than 70 million Americans live with a disability. That's roughly one in four adults. And any of us can join that number at any point in our lives. Through an injury, illness, or simply getting older.Disabled people are one of the largest minorities in this country. Yet there's one part of their lives that almost never gets discussed: sex.Today, that silence is being challenged – by disabled people themselves – online, in film and television, and in conversations happening in bedrooms and doctors' offices across the country.In February, we brought you 1A's first sex week – about sex across our lifespans. And you told us you wanted more about sex and disability.How do we express our needs in the bedroom, especially when the sex we want doesn't match common ideas of what sex – and the people who have it – can look like?Find more of our programs online.
