Ready to attend a sex party in real life for the first time? What are the rules? Do you have to have sex with a bunch of people or can you just hang out, eat peanuts and drink wine in the corner? Also, how's your self pleasure game? And did you hear about that insane Texas Abortion Ban? Will that happen across the country if the election goes a certain way? Here to help answer all of those questions and much more is Sex Educator, Irma Garcia. Irma really knows her stuff, and talks with Dustin about how to approach going to a sex party or a play party if it's your first time attending something like that. She also chats about the importance of self pleasure, the “sudden” explosion in the popularity of polyamory and open relationships, what happened when she mixed her own sexuality and horniness with sex education on social media, and the current state of abortion and reproductive rights in America, and how this next election may be a tipping point no one is truly prepared for. At the end of the episode Irma gives some sex toy recommendations and leaves us with some very important and meaningful advice. Welcome to Episode 119.Watch the video version of the show on YouTube YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIuCkOl_XummXVdu1t3XOuQFollow Irma GarciaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sexedwithirma (@sexedwithirma)Follow the showInstagram: https://instagram.com/sexparty.fm (@sexparty.fm)Twitter: https://twitter.com/sexpartyfm (@sexpartyfm)Follow Dustin Instagram: https://instagram.com/dustinrybka (@dustinrybka)Twitter: https://twitter.com/dustinrybka (@dustinrybka)Sex Party with Dustin Rybka

My 13 year-old son, James, joins me to dedicate this show to the 21 victims of the Robb Elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas on May 24, 2022. May these precious souls rest in peace knowing we will not quietly fall back into a normal routine until gun control gets the attention it deserves.    Links:  Moms Demand Action Get Involved | Students Demand Action Everytown for Gun Safety American Academy of Pediatrics Mourns Death of Children and Teacher in Texas 10 ways you can channel your grief and rage into action—right now The Lives Lost in Texas: Uvalde Families Share the Victims' Stories - WSJ Gun Violence Must Stop.

She had also won an honor-roll award earlier in the day, and her father reportedly spent hours waiting for information before confirming her death on Facebook.   Xavier Javier Lopez, 10, “was so full of life,” his mother, Felicha Martinez, told the Post. He liked sports, art class, and hamming it up for the camera. “He was funny, never serious and his smile,” Martinez said of her fourth-grade son. “That smile I will never forget. It would always cheer anyone up.”   Nevaeh Bravo, 10, was a fourth-grader. Per BuzzFeed, her cousin confirmed her death in a Facebook post, sharing a photo of Bravo smiling in a blue dress. “Our Nevaeh has been found,” her cousin wrote. “She is flying with the angels above.”   Alithia Ramirez, 10, loved to draw and wanted to be an artist, her father told KSAT 12 News.   Tess Marie Mata, 10, was confirmed dead by her sister, who posted on Facebook recalling Mata's “contagious laugh,” adding that the two played softball together. “I'm confused because how can something like this happen to my sweet, caring, and beautiful sister, and I'm angry because a coward took you from us,” Mata's sister wrote.   Alexandria Aniya Rubio, 10, was “beautiful and smart,” her mother, Kimberly Mata-Rubio, wrote in a Facebook tribute. Hours before the shooting, Mata-Rubio said she went to her daughter's honor-roll ceremony and watched her receive a good citizen award. “We told her we loved her and would pick her up after school,” Mata-Rubio wrote. “We had no idea this was goodbye.”   Layla Salazar, 10, used to sing along to “Sweet Child O' Mine” by Guns N' Roses on the way to school, her father told the Associated Press.   Makenna Lee Elrod, 10, was found dead in a classroom, her older sister confirmed on Twitter: “My sweet innocent baby sister…my heart will forever break for you my love.”   Jayce Luevanos, 10, was killed along with his cousin and classmate, Jailah Silguero. A cousin of theirs told ABC7 that “they always had a smile” on their faces.   Jailah Nicole Silguero, 11, was a “delighted, energetic, lovely little girl” who enjoyed making TikToks, according to a GoFundMe page her family friend made to cover her funeral expenses. The morning of the shooting, she reportedly asked her mother if she could stay home.   Eliana “Ellie” Garcia, 9, was the second eldest of five girls. She wanted to be a teacher, loved the film Encanto, and dreamed of wearing a purple dress to her quinceañera, her grandparents told the L.A. Times.    Eliahana Cruz Torres was also killed in the massacre, her family confirmed to KSAT.   Annabell Guadalupe Rodriguez, 10, was a third-grader, her family told KHOU-11. She was in the same classroom as her cousin, Jacklyn Cazares, when the shooter came in.   Jacklyn “Jackie” Cazares, 10, was in fourth grade. She was killed along with her cousin and classmate, Annabell Guadalupe Rodriguez, according to KSAT.   Maite Yuleana Rodriguez, 10, was a “sweet, smart little girl,” her family member wrote in a GoFundMe for her funeral expenses.   Rogelio Torres, 10, was among Tuesday's victims, his relatives told a Univision 14 KDTV reporter.   Miranda Matthis, 11, attended Robb Elementary with her brother, who survived the shooting. She was killed in her classroom, her parents told the Fort-Worth Star Telegram.   Eva Mireles, 44, was a fourth-grade teacher at Robb. Her aunt, Lydia Martinez Delgado, told the Post that Mireles was married to a police officer; their daughter just graduated from college. “She did all she could to live a long life,” Delgado said, “and here it was cut short.” She reportedly helped her students climb out the window before Ramos shot her. Irma Garcia, Mireles's co-teacher, was also killed in Tuesday's attack, her son, Christian Garcia, told NBC. She'd taught at Robb Elementary for 23 years and had four kids. “She sacrificed herself protecting the kids in her classroom,” said a Twitter user identifying himself as Garcia's nephew. “She died a HERO. She was loved by many and will truly be missed.”

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - The newest cardinal-elect of the island nation of East Timor says he was completely surprised by his appointment by Pope Francis over the weekend. “When I heard this news, I was so shocked I almost fainted,” Archbishop Dom Virgilio do Carmo da Silva told reporters May 30. "I never dreamed of this and I never looked for it.” East Timor, or Timor-Leste, occupies the eastern half of the island of Timor, which it shares with Indonesia. The population of the country, which was colonized by Portugal, is nearly 98% Catholic. Pope Francis had on Sunday announced the names of 21 men whom he will create as cardinals in August. Da Silva, a priest of the Salesians of St. John Bosco, has led the local Church of Dili since 2016. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251420/east-timor-cardinal-elect-almost-fainted-when-he-heard-pope-francis-had-chosen-him A Catholic woman who sued the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office claiming her son was cremated in violation of her religious beliefs will likely soon receive a settlement of nearly half a million dollars. Maria Elvira Quintanilla Cebreros, a Tijuana, Mexico woman, alleges that L.A. county failed to notify her of her son's death after he went missing three years ago, and also cremated his remains without her permission. Earlier this month, the Office of County Counsel recommended a $445,000 settlement. The Catholic Church teaches that cremation, while strongly discouraged, can be permissible under certain restrictions. A person's ashes are not to be scattered, nor kept in the home or preserved in mementos or jewelry, but instead must be “laid to rest in a sacred place," such as in a cemetery or church. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251418/catholic-woman-may-receive-settlement-over-her-sons-cremation Eleven of the Uvalde shooting victims were parishioners at the city's Sacred Heart Catholic Church, and their funerals will be held there over the next two and a half weeks. Although there will be 11 funerals, 12 lives will be commemorated and prayed for, as Joe Garcia, the 50-year-old husband of one of the teachers who was killed, Irma Garcia, will share the same funeral Mass as his wife. Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller of San Antonio will be the celebrant for the Garcias' funeral Mass, which will take place this morning. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251417/eleven-funerals-to-take-place-at-uvaldes-catholic-church-in-coming-weeks Today, the Church celebrates Saint Justin Martyr, an avid lover of truth with an interest in philosophy who admired Christians from a distance because of the beauty of their moral lives. After a life-changing conversation with an old man, the aspiring philosopher eventually decided to be baptized around the age of 30. Justin was most likely ordained a deacon, since he preached, did not marry, and gave religious instruction in his home. He is best known as the author of early apologetic works which argued for the Catholic faith against the claims of Jews, pagans, and non-Christian philosophers. He also wrote a very early description of the Mass and the Eucharist. Justin was scourged and beheaded by the prefect of Rome along with six companions who joined him in his confession of faith. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-justin-martyr-486

Uvalde: funerals begin for the 21 victims of last week's mass shooting. Visiting mourning families over the weekend, President Joe Biden was urged by members of a Uvalde crowd to "do something" - the U.S. Justice Department will conduct an investigation into law enforcement's response. Pete Arredondo, the school police chief being charged with stopping police officers from intervening quickly, will not be publicly sworn in to the Uvalde City Council - he won election to a seat last month. Almost $3 million has been raised for the surviving children of slain teacher Irma Garcia and her husband Joe, who has died of a heart attack since the shooting. Harry Styles announces a partnership in honor of the Uvalde victims with the non-profit Everytown For Gun Safety, and Matthew McConaughey - who spent his early childhood in Uvalde - paid his respects this weekend as well. Governor Greg Abbott has made incorrect statements about the Sutherland Springs shooting, asserting that background checks would not have stopped that shooter from arming himself (they would have). Kaitlin Armstrong remains wanted and at large in the shooting death of pro cyclist Anna Moria Wilson - she was charged with larceny after walking out of a Botox spa without paying a $650 bill in 2018. Austin City Council Member Chito Vela is proposing a resolution that would reduce any enforcement of Texas abortion laws to APD's lowest priority and restrict city funds and staff from use in any action on suspected abortions. Another scooter-related death has occurred, Sunday night in South Austin - that's three in about the last month. We're on track to conclude the hottest May in Austin in recorded history. We're also more than two inches behind our typical rainfall totals - Austin will begin Stage 1 water use restrictions next Monday, June 6. The Austin City Council is considering trimming down, dissolving or merging a range of the four dozen current City boards and commissions. Longtime South Congress curio merchant Tesoros Trading Company has announced its impending closure. The University of Texas is one of three Texas colleges that have made a list of the most sought-after colleges in the country. UT was #2 overall and tops in Texas, followed by Texas A&M, the University of Houston, and Baylor. A team of 5 BBQ cooks from Navarro Early College High School is set to compete in an national BBQ competition in mid-June in Round Rock. A man has caught a record-setting 64-pound smallmouth buffalo fish from Lady Bird Lake. Texas Longhorns Baseball beat Oklahoma State for a second time to advance to the Big 12 Tournament title game, only to be stopped in their tracks by OU 8-1. Texas has, however, been named an NCAA regional host for the national tournament starting on Friday - the Horns face Air Force, and Louisiana Tech faces Dallas Baptist. Austin FC collected a "well-earned loss" to the L.A. Galaxy last night - they're off for the international break until a visit to Montreal on June 18.

I had to talk about it.  I share a couple of my "why's behind school shootins..how we (law enforcement) should respond based on what we've learned..the very least we can do to minimize the casualties and...what we can do to help prevent these mass casualty events.  I hope this is helpful to someone, I know I've come away with some things I can hopefully implement at my school.

Uvalde, the SBC & Prayers of the People. Mike and Tim are joined by Executive Pastor and Elder of Journey Church Suzie Lind to discuss the events of the past week, including the sexual abuse report from the Southern Baptist Convention and the mass shooting in Uvalde Texas. It is a very raw conversation as everyone tries to sort out postures and directions forward. At the end of the conversation, Suzie, Mike and Tim engage in another 'Prayers of the People.' Lord, we pray for the people and children who have been subjugated and abused by institutions or those in power, but specifically within your church. Lord that you would bring healing and peace and freedom to those who have been hurt and who have been hiding or have been made to feel shameful by their abusers. Father, we pray that there would be Justice and a complete dismantling of the church that hides and protects those that prey on others, that marginalizes and exerts power over. Lord have mercy. Father God, we pray for the families of Uziyah Garcia, Jose Flores, Amerie Jo Garza, Xavier Javier Lopez, Nevaeh Bravo, Alithia Ramirez, Tess Marie Mata, Alexandria Aniya Rubio, Layla Salazar, Makenna Lee Elrod, Jayce Luevanos, Jailah Nicole Silguero, Eliana “Ellie” Garcia, Eliahana Cruz Torres, Annabell Guadalupe Rodriguez, Jacklyn “Jackie” Cazares, Maite Yuleana Rodriguez, Rogelio Torres, Miranda Matthis, Eva Mireles and Irma Garcia. Lord, that you would hear their cries; That you would bring mercy; That you would sit with them; That others would walk in grief with them. Lord we pray that American hearts would be empathetic and would bring about the change necessary to keep our babies safe, to keep our neighbors safe, to keep our elderly safe. God, show us how to be peacemakers and not just peace keepers. As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

The first half of this episode includes a weekly catch up session, new food recommendations, a possible visitation from someone who passed on, and Jamie mentions two podcast listeners, who turned friends, who turned business partners. The latter part of the episode involves Jamie's thoughts on gun control and the recent Ulvade, TX shooting. A trigger warning is given prior to this discussion. A personal message from Jamie: The outro song is "Hole in the World" by the Eagles. I chose this song for the back of my dad's prayer card. Not only did he love the band, but the lyrics described exactly how my family and I felt when we lost him. Given that I spoke about him in this episode and the Ulvade, TX tragedy, the song and sentiment also go out to the victims: Makenna Lee Elrod, 10, Layla Salazar, 10, Miranda Mathis, 11, Nevaeh Bravo, 10, Jose Manuel Flores Jr., 10, Xavier Lopez, 10, Tess Marie Mata, 10, Rojelio Torres, 10, Eliana "Ellie" Garcia, 9, Eiliahna Cruz Torres, 10, Annabell Guadalupe Rodriquez, 10, Jackie Cazares, 10, Uziyah Garcia, 10, Jayce Carmelo Luevanos, 10, Maite Yuleana Rodriguez, 10, Jailah Nicole Silguero, 10, Irma Garcia, 48, Eva Mireles, 44, Amerie Jo Garza, 10, Alexandria "Lexi' Aniyah Rubio, 10, and Alithia Ramirez, 10.

Out of the mouth of a frustrated 13 yr old African-American young lady, comes one of the most epic takedown we've ever heard in years. This young lady articulated so well her thoughts and feeling about her city's council members in Grand Rapids regarding the inaction that they continuously display in her community, and the fact that she does not feel safe. Additionally, we discussed Irma Garcia, one of two teachers that were murdered in Robb Elementary School shooting. Joe Garcia, her husband, laid flowers at his wife's grave site, after which he went home and died of a broken heart. ► DONATE: CashApp: https://cash.app/delsound Paypal: https://paypal.me/ensoundent Patreon: https://patreon.com/soulfoodandlemonade ► LIKE ► SUBSCRIBE ► COMMENT ► HIT NOTIFICATION BELL ► SOCIAL LINKS Anchor.fm : https://anchor.fm/soulfoodandlemonade Apple Podcast: https://delroysouden.com FACEBOOK - https://facebook.com/soulfoodandlemonade ► Email: soulfoodandlemonade@gmail.com Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Today we offer a meditation on Grieving a Tragedy. Here in the United States, we have recently experienced the pain and trauma of gun violence in an elementary school in Texas, a grocery store in New York, and a church in California.   We can become desensitized and unable to process so much tragic news. Often words alone seem inadequate. We need silence in the presence of a Holy God.   So today we make space to grieve and mourn for those who are mourning. We make space to get in touch with our own feelings and emotions. And we make space to consider how God is calling us to action and to show compassion to those hurting.   We'll be meditating on a prayer from Psalm 57, TPT. We invite you to prepare a quiet place for this time of meditation. Perhaps light a candle. Don't rush or hurry this time. Linger as long as you need to process your feelings.    Have mercy on me, O God…for in you my soul takes refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings. Psalm 57:1 NLT   These are the 19 children and 2 teachers whose lives were taken at Robb Elementary School mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas: Alexandria Aniyah Rubio, 10 Amerie Jo Garza, 10 Tess Marie Mata, 10 Jose Flores, 10 Miranda Mathis, 11 Maite Rodriguez, 10 Makenna Lee Elrod, 10 Xavier Lopez, 10 Eliana Garcia, 9 Layla Salazar, 10 Eliahana Cruz Torres, 10 Alithia Ramierz, 10 Jackie Cazares, 10 Annabelle Rodriguez, 10 Jailah Silguero, 10 Jayce Luevanos, 10 Uziyah Garcia, 9 Nevaeh Bravo, 10 Rojelio Torres, 10 Eva Mireles, 44 Irma Garcia, 46   California Church  Dr. John Cheng, 52   These are the names of the lives taken in the Buffalo, New York Grocery Store mass shooting: Roberta A, Drury, 32 Margus D.

Instead, in a perverse inversion of this day, we remember little children whose lives were cut down by weapons of war, not used to defend this country from foreign aggressors, but turned on its own citizens in a callous act of unforgivable aggression. To be honest, I wasn't sure if I should preach on this today. These shootings have become so frequent that if we clergy addressed them each time a new one occurred, we wouldn't preach on much else. But as the predictable tweets of thoughts and prayers were fired off by the same lawmakers and pastors who consistently block not only legislation, but even conversation about legislation, to address these atrocities, I felt literally nauseous.  We do not need platitudes from the pulpit. On this eve of Memorial Day, let's not mince words: these children are dead because they are casualties in a Culture War not of their choosing. Involuntary conscripts into a war to determine the future not only of this nation, but of our faith. Thoughts and prayers aren't the solution; they are the problem. These mass shootings can only continue because the Church in this country refuses to behave like the Church. When I was a loyal Southern Baptist footsoldier on the other side of the Culture Wars, it was common to talk about the four “G's”: guns, gays, God and gynecology. We've seen this month that strategy hasn't changed in fifty years.    This morning on this Feast of Ascension, I am left with the difficult conclusion that these precious children and their teachers are dead because the mostly white Christian evangelical lobby does not believe that Christ is risen, ascended and reigning at God's right hand in glory. They do not believe in God, at least not any God I recognize from the Gospels. The same lot that sang “Some may trust in horses, some may trust in chariots / But we will trust in the name of our God” in the 1980s and 90s, have proven time and again since then that the only thing they really trust in is their assault rifles. Their faith is in the NRA.  If you think this is hyperbole, consider The Washington Post's disturbing report that two days before the massacre in Uvalde, the gunmaker who manufactured the weapon used by the killer posted a photo online advertising its AR-15-style rifles showing a young boy - a child - holding a semiautomatic on his lap with this caption from Proverbs 22:6: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” The sad part, of course, is that they're right.  The Church has a profound moral obligation to call out the NRA on this point. They justify their pistol-peddling politics with the circular logic that gun ownership should be easily accessible because we live in a dangerous world where an 18 year old might shoot up an elementary school. Carried to its logical conclusion, the NRA envisions a world where everyone is armed to the teeth; where parents, instead of reminding their children not to forget their lunch boxes, will remind them not to forget their guns. Please, someone explain to me what part of that vision conforms to anything we know about Jesus in the Gospels?  The Parkland Shooting survivors are right: some love their guns more than their children. In Christianity, we have a name for that: idolatry. How ironic that the most outspoken defender of the NRA in our lifetimes is also best known for his role as Moses in the 1956 epic The Ten Commandments. Would that he had understood those commandments better, perhaps he would have held a different view. Because, in fact, there was a very practical purpose for discouraging the worship of other gods in the first commandment of Exodus. We hear about it in the next book, Leviticus. As a gay man, I'm used to evangelicals breaking out Leviticus 18:22 against me. But if they backed up just one verse, they'd read in 18:21: “You shall not give any of your offspring to sacrifice them to Molech and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.” Chapter twenty gets even more pointed, claiming that to do so amounts to defiling the sanctuary of the Lord, and that God will destroy everyone who turns a blind eye to this abhorrent practice of child sacrifice.  Interestingly, Molech is only mentioned by name once in the New Testament - in the Book of Acts, nine chapters before the odd story we heard this morning. That's no accident. Acts of the Apostles is nearly obsessed with this question of idolatry. Acts 16 goes out of its way to tell us twice that the reason Paul and Silas are imprisoned is not because of some doctrinal dispute with the local authorities, but because they put an end to child exploitation. In doing so, they incurred a heavy financial loss for the men who were using the girl to turn a profit in exchange for her fortune telling powers. We need to return to this standard, when those who called themselves followers of Jesus put child-welfare above profits. The Church must demand that our governments and churches stop sacrificing our children to this Molech, this idol of easy gun ownership, even military-grade guns, turning a handsome profit for manufacturers every year, which in turn allows them to pour even more money in lobbies like the NRA.  One of the few children to survive the massacre did so only because she dipped her hand in the blood of a friend next to her, smeared it all over her body and played dead, hoping the teen-turned-angel-of-death might pass over her. No child should ever have to become living lintels and doorposts. How odd that a branch of Christianity fixated on the blood of Jesus, blood that can supposedly protect against COVID can't protect children from their own designs, from having to play in some warped retelling of the Exodus story. Jesus is called the Lamb of God by John's Gospel because of his sacrificial self-offering on a Cross. We've watched the memorial set up outside the school grow to include 19 small wooden crosses with hearts and Jesus fish at their center. When I saw that, it reminded me of a fact few Christians today realize. The cross did not become the official, or even a common symbol for Christianity until the late fifth or sixth centuries. Why?  As mothers plead for action, as they plead for the state not to forget their slaughtered babies, every Christian in this land should ask themselves how Mary would react if she walked into their sanctuaries. How would she react to the giant gilded cross suspended in our apse? It's easy for us to take the Cross for granted today as a decorative element in our piety, but for those who actually lived in its terrifying shadow, it was unthinkable to represent it visually. Instead, early Christians opted for images of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, or images of a fish because the Greek letters used to spell fish ICTHUS acted as a verbal gloss of “Jesus Christ Son of God, Savior.”  Our gospel accounts of the crucifixion are quite spare, but it was a gory affair. Suffocation over days as birds of prey slowly picked at victims flesh while they were still alive as people who probably knew them passed by. It was a vivid demonstration of Rome's power to utterly erase humanity and dignity. Because of this, it was one of Rome's most effective deterrents. It is sometimes assumed that when Constantine or Theodosius finally outlawed the practice, they did so for pious reasons: so that others could not die in the same manner as Christ. But, in fact, the earliest source tells us that it was more from a place of concern around humane treatment. Hanging replaced crucifixion because it was quick and far less painful. In other words, Christian rulers banned this weapon of terror because it was the right thing to do in light of their faith. Only when the actual thing disappeared did the symbol emerge.    We must pray for every parent of every child, and every family or friend of every victim of gun violence during this time when images of these weapons are circulating so widely in our media. But we must do more than lobby for better trigger warnings before movies and in social media feeds. We must demand that those who call themselves by Christ's name stand up against this insidious idol. Molech didn't attack and impose himself on the ancient Israelites, they adopted him as their false god by choice. There are glimmers of hope. Republican Representative Chris Jacobs came out in favor of stronger laws restricting the sale of semiautomatic weapons, limiting magazine capacity, and excluding the sale of body armor to the general public. Some conservative evangelical pastors are beginning to consider supporting similar measures.  The Church in this nation needs to wake up. There are many things that divide us, but this should not be one of them. The Mainline Church cannot be the only one mobilizing. Here at Grace, we have an altar to the victims of gun violence in the back of our sanctuary, and it has become one of the most visited sacred sites in this space. Everyone who calls themselves by Christ's name should be as united in our disgust of easy access to AR-15 style weapons as we are in our love for the victims, families and friends who have already suffered so much, too much. The Church must come together, laying down our arms in the Culture Wars, to advance this crucial conversation, and to effect real and lasting change. Thankfully, we have a great high priest, who, knowing our weakness, knowing that we are plagued by ego and division, knowing that it would take not a single lifetime, but a lifetime of lifetimes to join in a more perfect union, prayed that we all might be one.  Amen. 

They made the wrong decision. That stunning admission today from the director of the Texas Department of Public Safety who says law enforcement should have gone right in that classroom where children and their teachers were being slaughtered. And that official admitted he doesn't know how many children died because of that delay. One law enforcement expert is calling it an “abject failure” - which can only compound families' grief. And as if it couldn't get any worse, for the family of slain teacher Irma Garcia it has. As we told you yesterday, her husband Joe died of an apparent heart attack. His family - now mourning the deaths of both parents - says he died of a broken heart. Plus, closing arguments are over in the Johnny Depp case and now it will be up to the jury to decide. The throng of Depp admirers is still surrounding the courthouse…and deep in the crowd, we found the lone supporter of Amber Heard. And this weekend marks the unofficial start to summer…and for the first time in three years, whatever you want to do and wherever you'd like to go - you can!

The husband of one of the fourth-grade teachers killed in the Uvalde school shooting Tuesday has died.. Irma Garcia, who was a 23-year veteran teacher at Robb Elementary School, was killed after an 18-year-old gunman entered the campus, barricaded himself in a fourth-grade classroom and fired dozens of shots — killing 19 students, Garcia and another teacher. Garcia's husband, Joe, reportedly suffered a fatal heart attack shortly after Irma's passing. The pair had been together since high school and married for 24 years. In the wake of mass fatalities at a Texas school, Gov. Greg Abbott speculated that the gunman had mental health issues and called for more to be done. But last month, Abbott slashed $211 million from the state's department that oversees mental health programs, NBC News reports. News outlets also report on how such traumatic events impact kids across the nation. As Sen. Ted Cruz attended a vigil Wednesday for the victims of the massacre in Uvalde, Tex., he stormed away from an interview after he was asked by a British journalist why mass shootings happen “only in America.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Town Square with Ernie Manouse airs at 3 p.m. CT. Tune in on 88.7FM, listen online or subscribe to the podcast. Join the discussion at 888-486-9677, questions@townsquaretalk.org or @townsquaretalk. Today's episode allows us to talk to about the healing processes involved in dealing with the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. We seek to form connections— to reach out to others— to know we are not alone. To help sort through all of this from a psychological perspective is Dr. Jeff Temple, Director of the Center for Violence Prevention at UTMB, who served on Governor Abbott's school safety committee after the Santa Fe High School shooting in the Houston area in 2018. We then hear from Tony Monalto, President of Stand with Parkland: The National Association of Families for Safe Schools, whose daughter, Gina Rose Montalto, was a victim of the mass shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on February 14, 2018. And, John Martinez shares his deep, heartfelt feelings about his aunt, Irma Garcia, a fourth grade teacher at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde who was also among those killed by the mass shooter on Tuesday. But first, Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia takes time to lend her voice to this discussion to passionately express her sentiments and concern for Congress to take immediate action toward gun violence in America. Town Square with Ernie Manouse is a gathering space for the community to come together and discuss the day's most important and pressing issues. Audio from today's show will be available after 5 p.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, and other apps.

All gunned down by young men who should have had no access to an assault weapon in the first place. I have no meaningful response to such cruel slaughter. When I am in the most profound mourning, I turn to the composers whose music directly confronts that despair. Today that composer is Gustav Mahler. Since the victims were almost exclusively people of color, today for solace I turn to the extraordinary voices of women of color singing the music of Mahler. Roberta Alexander, Marian Anderson, Carol Brice, Oralia Dominguez, Jessye Norman, Florence Quivar, Shirley Verrett, Lucretia West provide balm for the depths of despair that we are all feeling right now. They are joined on the podium by some of the greatest conductors of the twentieth century: Leonard Bernstein, Christoph von Dohnányi, Bernard Haitink, Paul Kletzki, Hans Knappertsbusch, Erich Leinsdorf, Zubin Mehta, Pierre Monteux, Fritz Reiner, and Frieder Weissmann. This episode is also offered in memory of and in gratitude for the life of the great Lucretia West, who died on 21 February 2022 at the age of 99.

Irma Garcia is the owner of Earth and Sun Co., a photography and videography company based in Rhode Island and serving all of New England and beyond. Irma joins Regina and Cate to talk about how her passion bled from photography to videography and back again, why pretending to be someone you're not will always lead to failure, and the impact of aligned branding on reaching the right clients.We talked at length about why and how Irma overcommunicates upfront with potential clients, and Irma explained how the responsibilities and time commitment of photographers and videographers differ, from the perspective of someone who does both.All three of us connected over the theme of learning to be our authentic selves with clients, and finding clients who are looking for exactly what we do best instead of trying (and inevitably failing) to be perfect for everyone. We got real about the impact COVID has had on our businesses and our lives, and (as usually happens) Irma described a learning experience that was especially hard for her, but ultimately helped her grow her business to heights she never expected. As she said, "It wouldn't be a business if you weren't crying some nights."Irma was down to earth, clear as a bell about what she does and who she does it for, and we loved having her on as a guest!Where to find her: www.earthandsun.co Email: hello@earthandsun.coSocial media: @earthandsunco_ on Instagram, @earthandsunco on Facebook *Recorded March 18, 2021*Find the hosts on social:Podcast: @weddoweddingpodcastRegina: @weddingsbyreginamarieCate: @catebarryphotographywww.WeDoWeddingPodcast.comwww.WeddingsbyReginaMarie.comwww.CateBarryPhotography.comIntro/Outro MusicInstant by Nettson https://soundcloud.com/nettsonCreative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0Free Download / Stream: http://bit.ly/al-instantMusic promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/3MPl9jeVOR8––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Do you know how to respond when someone says something offensive about your identity? Learn from industry leaders' experience and strategies to reduce microaggressions in your department or area.

The season finale of BFR includes guest speaker Irma Garcia who is a sex educator based in Texas. Irma is a certified sex educator in Texas and client services manager at Jane's Due Process, where she helps Texas minors exercise their reproductive rights to an abortion. Prior to joining the JDP team, she was a sexual health and abortion counselor at a local Austin clinic, as well as a birth doula. Now as the sexpert on staff and for the community, her focus is to connect the harm of sex-negative anti-abortion rhetoric into a wider sex-positive reproductive justice framework where marginalized people are not shamed and robbed of their autonomy. She believes that when Black, Indigenous, and other people of color experience pleasure on their own terms, it's an act of protest, but most importantly--self-care.
