Bio: Jenny - Co-Host Podcast (er):I am Jenny! (She/Her) MACP, LMHCI am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, Certified Yoga Teacher, and an Approved Supervisor in the state of Washington.I have spent over a decade researching the ways in which the body can heal from trauma through movement and connection. I have come to see that our bodies know what they need. By approaching our body with curiosity we can begin to listen to the innate wisdom our body has to teach us. And that is where the magic happens!I was raised within fundamentalist Christianity. I have been, and am still on my own journey of healing from religious trauma and religious sexual shame (as well as consistently engaging my entanglement with white saviorism). I am a white, straight, able-bodied, cis woman. I recognize the power and privilege this affords me socially, and I am committed to understanding my bias' and privilege in the work that I do. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and actively engage critical race theory and consultation to see a better way forward that honors all bodies of various sizes, races, ability, religion, gender, and sexuality.I am immensely grateful for the teachers, healers, therapists, and friends (and of course my husband and dog!) for the healing I have been offered. I strive to pay it forward with my clients and students. Few things make me happier than seeing people live freely in their bodies from the inside out!Danielle (00:10):Welcome to the Arise Podcast with my colleague Jenny McGrath and I today Jenny's going to read a part of a presentation she's giving in a week, and I hope you really listen in The political times are heavy and the news about Epstein has been triggering for so many, including Jenny and myself. I hope as you listen, you find yourself somewhere in the conversation and if you don't, I hope that you can find yourself with someone else in your close sphere of influence. These conversations aren't perfect. We can't resolve it at the end. We don't often know what we need, so I hope as you listen along that you join us, you join us and you reach out for connection in your community with friends, people that you trust, people that you know can hold your story. And if you don't have any of those people that maybe you can find the energy and the time and the internal resources to reach out. You also may find yourself activated during this conversation. You may find yourself triggered and so this is a notice that if you feel that that is a possibility and you need to take a break and not listen to this episode, that's okay. Be gentle and kind with yourself and if you feel like you want to keep listening, have some self-care and some ways of connecting with others in place, go ahead and listen in. Hey Jenny, I'd love to hear a bit about your presentation if you don't even mind giving us what you got.Jenny (01:41):Yeah, absolutely. I am very honored. I am going to be on a panel entitled Beyond Abstinence Only Purity Culture in Today's Political Moment, and this is for the American Academy of Religion. And so I am talking about, well, yeah, I think I'll just read a very rough draft version of my remarks. I will give a disclaimer, I've only gone over it once so far, maybe twice, so it will shift before I present it, but I'm actually looking forward to talking about it with you because I think that will help me figure out how I want to change it. I think it'll probably just be a three to five minute read if that evenOkay. Alright. I to look at the current political moment in the US and try to extract meaning and orientation from purity culture is essential, but if we only focus on purity culture in the us, we are naval gazing and missing a vital aspect of the project that is purity culture. It is no doubt an imperialist project. White women serving as missionaries have been foot soldiers for since Manifest Destiny and the creation of residential schools in North America and even before this, yet the wave of white women as a force of white Christian nationalism reached its white cap in the early two thousands manifest by the power of purity culture. In the early 1990s, a generation of young white women were groomed to be agents of empire unwittingly. We were told that our value and worth was in our good pure motives and responsibility to others.(03:31):We were trained that our racial and gender roles were pivotal in upholding the white, straight, heteronormative, capitalistic family that God designed and we understood that this would come at us martyring our own body. White women therefore learned to transmute the healthy erotic vitality that comes from an awakening body into forms of service. The transnational cast of white Christian supremacy taught us that there were none more deserving more in need than black and brown bodies in the global south pay no attention to black and brown bodies suffering within the us. We were told they could pull themselves up by their bootstraps, but not in the bodies of color. Outside the membrane of the US white women believed ourselves to be called and furthermore trusted that God would qualify us for the professional roles of philanthropists, medical service providers, nonprofit starters and adoptive mothers of black and brown children in the global south.(04:30):We did not blanc that often. We did not actually have the proper training, much less accountability for such tasks and neither did our white Christian communities. We were taking on roles of power we would have never been given in white spaces in the US and in doing so we were remaining compliant to our racial and gendered expectations. This meant among many other things, giving tacit approval to international states that were being used as pawns by the US Christian. Right among these states, the most prominent could arguably be Uganda. Uganda was in the zeitgeist of white Christian youth, the same white Christian youth that experienced life altering commitments given in emotionally evocative abstinence rituals. We were primed for the documentary style film turned organization invisible Children, which found its way into colleges, youth groups, and worship services all over the country. Many young white women watched these erotically charged films, felt a compulsion to do something without recognizing that compulsion came from the same tendrils of expectations, purity, culture placed on our bodies.(05:43):Invisible children's film was first released in 2004 and in their release of Kony 2012 reached an audience of a hundred million in its first week of release. Within these same eight years, Ugandan President Veni who had a long entangled relationship with the US Christian right signed into law a bill that made homosexuality the death penalty in certain cases, which was later overturned. He also had been responsible for the forced removal of primarily acho people in Northern Uganda from their lands and placed them into internally displaced people's camps where their death T tolls far exceeded those lost by Coney who musevini claimed to be fighting against as justification for the violent displacement of Acho people. Muny Musevini also changed the Ugandan constitution to get reelected despite concerns that these elections were not truly democratic and has remained president of Uganda for the last 39 years. Uganda was the Petri dish of American conservative laboratory of Christo fascism where whiteness and heteronormative racialized systems of purity culture were embalmed. On November 5th, 2, 20, 24, we experienced what am termed the boomerang of imperialism. Those who have had an eye on purity cultures influence in countries like Uganda are not surprised by this political moment. In fact, this political moment is not new. The only thing new about it is that perhaps for the first time the effects are starting to come more thoroughly to white bodies and white communities. The snake has begun to eat its own tail.Scary. Okay. It feels like poking an already very angry hornet's nest and speaking to things that are very alive and well in our country right now. So I feel that and I also feel a sense of resolve, you might say that I feel like because of that it feels imperative to speak to my experience and my research and this current political moment. Do you mind if I ask what it was like to hear it?Danielle (08:30):It is interesting. Right before I hopped on this call, I was doing mobility at my gym and at the end when my dear friend and I were looking at our DNA, and so I guess I'm thinking of it through the context of my body, so I was thinking about that as you're reading it, Jenny, you said poking the bear and before we shift too fast to what I think, what's the bear you believe you're poking?Jenny (09:08):I see it as the far right Christian nationalist ideology and talking about these things in the way that I'm talking about them, I am stepping out of my gender and racial expectations as a white cis woman where I am meant to be demure and compliant and submissive and not calling out abuse of power. And so I see that as concerning and how the religious right, the alt religious right Christian, religious right in the US and thankfully it was not taken on, but even this week was the potential of the Supreme Court seeing a case that would overturn the legalization of gay marriage federally and that comes out of the nuclear focus of the family that James stops and heralded was supposed to be the family. It's one man and it's one woman and you have very specific roles that you're supposed to play in those families.Danielle (10:35):Yeah, I mean my mind is just going a thousand miles a minute. I keep thinking of the frame. It's interesting, the frame of the election was built on economy, but after that it feels like there are a few other things like the border, which I'm including immigration and migrants and thoughts about how to work with that issue, not issue, I don't want to say it's an issue, but with that part of the picture of what makes up our country. The second thing that comes to mind after those two things is there was a huge push by MAGA podcasters and church leaders across the country, and I know I've read Cat Armas and a bunch of other people, I've heard you talking about it. There's this juxtaposition of these people talking about returning to some purity, the fantasy of purity, which you're saying you're talking about past and present in your talk while also saying, Hey, let's release the Epstein files while voting for this particular person, Donald Trump, and I am caught. If you look at the statistics, the amount of folks perpetrating violent crime that are so-called migrants or immigrants is so low compared to white men.(12:16):I am caught in all those swirling things and I'm also aware that there's been so many things that have happened in the last presidency. There was January 6th and now we have, we've watched ICE in some cases they've killed people in detention centers and I keep thinking, is sexual purity or the idea of the fantasy that this is actually a value of the Christian? Right? Is that going to be something that moves people? I don't know. What do you think?Jenny (12:54):I think it's a fair question. I think it is what moved bodies like mine to be complicit in the systems of white supremacy without knowing that's what I was doing. And at the same time that I myself went to Uganda as a missionary and spent the better part of four years there while saying and hearing very hateful and derogatory things about migrants and the fact that signs in Walmart were in Spanish in Colorado, and these things that I was taught like, no, we need to remain pure IE white and heteronormative in here, and then we take our good deeds to other countries. People from Mexico shouldn't be coming up here. We should go on Christmas break and build houses for them there, which I did and it's this weird, we talk a lot about reality. It is this weird pseudo reality where it's like everything is upside down and makes sense within its own system.(14:13):I had a therapist at one point say, it's like you had the opposite of a psychotic break when I decided to step out of these worlds and do a lot of work to come into reality because it is hard to explain how does talking about sexual purity lead to what we're seeing with ice and what we're seeing with detention. And I think in reality part of that is the ideology that the body of the US is supposed to primarily be white, straight Christian heteronormative. And so if we have other bodies coming in, you don't see that cry of immigrants in the same way for people that came over from Ukraine. And I don't mean that anything disparagingly about people that needed to come over from Ukraine, but you see that it's a very different mindset from white bodies entering the US than it is black and brown bodies within this ideological framework of what the family or the body of individuals and the country is supposed to look like.I've been pretty dissociated lately. I think yesterday was very tough as we're seeing just trickles of emails from Epstein and that world and confirmation of what any of us who listened to and believed any of the women that came forward already knew. But it just exposes the falseness that it's actually about protecting anyone because these are stories of young children, of youth being sexually exploited and yet the machine keeps powering on and just keeps trying to ignore that the man they elected to fight the rapists that were coming into our country or the liberals that were sex child trafficking. It turns out every accusation was just a confession.Danielle (16:43):Oh man. Every accusation was a confession. In psychological terms, I think of it as projection, like the bad parts I hate about me, the story that criminals are just entering our country nonstop. Well, the truth is we elected criminals. Why are we surprised that by the behavior of our government when we voted for criminality and I say we because I'm a participant in this democracy or what I like to think of as a democracy and I'm a participant in the political system and capitalism and I'm a participant here. How do you participate then from that abstinence, from that purity aspect that you see? The thread just goes all the way through? Yeah,Jenny (17:48):I see it as a lifelong untangling. I don't think I'm ever going to be untangled unfortunately from purity culture and white supremacy and heteronormative supremacy and the ways in which these doctrines have formed the way that I have seen the world and that I'm constantly needing to try to unlearn and relearn and underwrite and rewrite these ways that I have internalized. And I think what's hard is I, a lot of times I think even in good intentions to undo these things in activist spaces, we tend to recreate whiteness and we tend to go, okay, I've got it now I'm going to charge ahead and everyone follow me. And part of what I think we need to deconstruct is this idea of a savior or even that an idea is going to save us. How do we actually slow down even when things are so perilous and so immediate? How do we kind of disentangle the way whiteness and capitalism have taught us to just constantly be churning and going and get clearer and clearer about how we got here and where we are now so that hopefully we can figure out how to leave less people behind as we move towards whatever it looks like to move out of this whiteness thing that I don't even honestly have yet an imagination for.(19:26):I have a hope for it, but I can't say this is what I think it's going to look like.Danielle (20:10):I'm just really struck by, well, maybe it was just after you spoke, I can't remember if it was part of your talk or part of your elaboration on it, but you were talking about Well, I think it was afterwards it was about Mexicans can't come here, but we can take this to Mexico.Yeah. And I wonder if that, do you feel like that was the same for Uganda?Jenny (20:45):Absolutely. Yeah. Which I think it allows that cast to remain in place. One of the professors that I've been deeply influenced by is Ose Manji, and he's a Kenyan professor who lives in Canada who's spent many years researching development work. And he challenges the idea that saviors need victims and the privilege that I had to live in communities where I could fundraise thousands of dollars for a two week or a two month trip is not separate from a world where I'm stepping into communities that have been exploited because of the privileges that I have,(21:33):But I can launder my conscience by going and saying I helped people that needed it rather than how are the things that I am benefiting from causing the oppression and how is the government that I'm a part of that has been meddling with countries in Central America and Africa and all over the globe creating a refugee crisis? And how do I deal with that and figure out how to look up, not that I want to ignore people that are suffering or struggling, but I don't want to get tunnel vision on all these little projects I could do at some point. I think we need to look up and say, well, why are these people struggling?Speaker 1 (22:26):Yeah, I don't know. I don't have fully formed thoughts. So just in the back, I was thinking, what if you reversed that and you said, well, why is the American church struggling?(22:55):I was just thinking about what if you reversed it and I think why is the American church struggling? And we have to look up, we have to look at what are the causes? What systems have we put in place? What corruption have we traded in? How have we laundered our own conscience? I mean, dude, I don't know what's going on with my internet. I need a portable one. I just dunno. I think that comment about laundering your own conscience is really beautiful and brilliant. And I mean, it was no secret that Epstein had done this. It's not a secret. I mean, they're release the list, but they know. And clearly those senators that are releasing those emails drip by drip, they've already seen them. So why did they hang onto them?Jenny (24:04):Yeah. Yeah. I am sad, I can't remember who this was. Sean was having me listen to a podcast the other day, just a part of it talking about billionaires. But I think it could be the same for politicians or presidents or the people that are at the top of these systems we've created. That's like in any other sphere, if we look at someone that has an unsatiable need for something, we would probably call that an addiction and say that that person needs help. And actually we need to tend to that and not just keep feeding it. And I think that's been a helpful framework for me to think about these people that are addicted to power that will do anything to try to keep climbing that ladder or get the next ring that's just like, that is an unwell person. That's a very unwell person.Speaker DanielleI mean, I'm not surprised, I think, did you say you felt very dissociated this past week? I think I've felt the same way because there's no way to take in that someone, this person is one of the kings of human trafficking. The all time, I mean great at their job. And we're hearing Ghislaine Maxwell is at this minimum security prison and trading for favors and all of these details that are just really gross. And then to hear the Republican senator or the speaker of the house say, well, we haven't done this because we're thinking of the victims. And literally the victims are putting out statements saying, get the damn files out. So the gaslighting is so intense to stay present to all of that gaslighting to stay present to not just the first harm that's happened, but to stay present to the constant gaslighting of victims in real time is just, it is a level of madness. I don't think we can rightfully stay present in all of it.(26:47):I don't know. I don't know what we can do, but Well, if anybody's seen the Handmaid's Tale, she is like, I can't remember how you say it in Latin, but she always says, don't let the bastards grind you down. I keep thinking of that line. I think of it all the time. I think connecting to people in your community keep speaking truth, it matters. Keep telling the truth, keep affirming that it is a real thing. Whether it was something at church or like you talked about, it was a missionary experience or abstinence experience, or whether you've been on the end of conversion therapy or you've been a witness to that and the harm it's done in your community. All of that truth telling matters, even if you're not saying Epstein's name, it all matters because there's been such an environment created in our country where we've normalized all of this harm. I mean, for Pete's sake, this man made it all the way to the presidency of the United States, and he's the effing best friend of Epstein. It's like, that was okay. That was okay. And even getting out the emails. So we have to find some way to just keep telling truth in our own communities. That's my opinion. What about yours?Jenny (28:17):Yeah, I love that telling The truth matters. I feel that, and I think trying to stay committed to being a safe person for others to tell the truth too, because I think the level, as you use the word gaslighting, the level of gaslighting and denial and dismissal is so huge. And I think, I can't speak for every survivor, but I think I take a guess to say at least most survivors know what it's like to not be believed, to be minimized, to be dismissed. And so I get it when people are like, I'm not going to tell the truth because I'm not going to be believed, or I'm just going to get gaslit again and I can respect that. And so I think for me, it's also how do I keep trying to posture myself as someone that listens and believes people when they tell of the harm that they've experienced? How do I grow my capacity to believe myself for the harm that I've experienced? And who are the people that are safe for me to go to say, do you think I'm crazy? And they say, no, you're not. I need those checkpoints still.First, I would just want to validate how shit that is and unfortunately how common that is. I think that it's actually, in my experience, both personally and professionally, it is way more rare to have safe places to go than not. And so I would just say, yeah, that makes sense for me. Memoirs have been a safe place. Even though I'm not putting something in the memoir, if I read someone sharing their story, that helps me feel empowered to be like, I believe what they went through. And so maybe that can help me believe what I've gone through. And then don't give up looking, even if that's an online community, even if that's a community you see once a month, it's worth investing in people that you can trust and that can trust you.Danielle (30:59):I agree. A thousand percent don't give up because I think a lot of us go through the experience of when we first talk about it, we get alienated from friends or family or people that we thought were close to us, and if that's happened to you, you didn't do anything wrong. That sadly is something very common when you start telling the truth. So just one to know that that's common. It doesn't make it any less painful. And two, to not give up, to keep searching, keep trying, keep trying to connect, and it is not a perfect path. Anyway. Jenny, if we want to hear your talk when you give it, how could we hear it or how could we access it?Jenny (31:52):That's a great question. I dunno, I'm not sure if it's live streamed or not. I think it's just in person. So if you can come to Boston next week, it's at the American Academy of Religion. If not, you basically heard it. I will be tweaking things. But this is essentially what I'm talking about is that I think in order to understand what's going on in this current political moment, it is so essential that we understand the socialization of young white women in purity culture and what we're talking about with Epstein, it pulls back the veil that it's really never about purity. It's about using white women as tropes for Empire. And that doesn't mean, and we weren't given immense privilege and power in this world because of our proximity to white men, but it also means that we were harmed. We did both. We were harmed and we caused harm in our own complicity to these systems. I think it is just as important to hold and grow responsibility for how we caused harm as it is to work on the healing of the harm that was caused to us.

All the text for this video and then some is below. Also See the Perfect PrisonerMark Twain once said, “A fool doesn't argue for truth. He argues to feed his pride. He will twist your logic mock your calm and drag you down to his level then beat you with experience. You can't teach someone who wears ignorance like armor. The more you respond the more you validate his madness. Don't wrestle pigs in the mud, they enjoy it, and you walk away filthy. Silence isn't weakness it is power. Let the fool shout, his own words will bury him deeper than you ever could.”This echos my mantra, the best way to deal with an attention w***e is to deprive them of attention. Modern society is in a tough situation. Sensationalism is monetized and truth telling is censored. Over time the entire stage is taken over by clowns.If we continue to reward the clowns for temporary escapism, if the societal rot is avoided rather than addressed, our mental decay will become irreversible. Improvement isn't fun nor is it instant. How does one move the inertia of the heard? The field of donkeys with their heads in the sand lost in a haze of Netflix, porn, gossip, endless gaming, is seen from above as just rows of ignorant un-moving a******s. But they will kick you if you disturb them.When poison is made to taste like honey the fool will fight to keep it. The alcoholic clings to his destroyer like a baby bottle. The scroller feels naked without their phone. Take away the constant virtual reality and drugs and most people are bored with who they are for they are no one and are unsatisfied with real relationships for they made none. So back to the noise they will go, cursing anyone who interrupts them.Self deceivers will always hate the one that tells them the truth, for truth violently destroys falsehoods they have attached their identities to. A lie injures the intelligent. The truth hurts the confident but wrong.As Socrates said, “It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows. The mind once sealed by arrogance becomes deaf to truth and blind to growth. Knowledge doesn't enter a cup that believes itself full. It spills. It is wasted. The greatest barrier to wisdom isn't ignorance, it is the illusion of understanding. Until a man humbles his certainty, he'll mistake noise for insight and ego for intellect.”Too much attention makes a donkey think he's a lion. And that is the sickness of our age. We feed fools with applause until they begin to believe their own delusions. A crown of noise sits heavier than a crown of gold. Yet every ignorant man craves it. They mistake visibility for value and noise for nobility. The donkey when surrounded by cheers forgets what he is. He begins to roar in his own mind. But strip away the crown, silence the claps and you'll hear only the Hee-Haw of mediocrity. Attention in excess is poison. “I'm a 10” is one of the by products of this insanity.It blinds the weak, corrupts the average and flatters the undeserving. The wise finds respect in truth, the fool seeks validation in volume.”Aristotle said, “The wise seek reason, the fool seeks approval.” The clown seeks attention, I will add.“No one is more hated that he who speaks the truth, for Truth is a mirror that exposes the ugliness men spend their lives trying to conceal. A ruler who feeds his people illusions is loved, but one who strips away their delusions is despised. For men prefer to be comforted by falsehoods than confronted by reality. The truth does not inspire gratitude. It inspires resentment. To reveal truth is to wound pride. And pride is defended more fiercely than kingdoms.Understand this, the world rewards deception with loyalty and condemns honesty with exile. Therefore if you choose to speak truth, do so knowing you will walk alone, armed not with applause but with contempt. Yet in that solitude lies a darker kind of power, the knowledge that while men hate you, they can not silence the reality you have spoken.” - Plato“You can beat 40 scholars with one fact but you can't beat one fool with 40 facts. For wisdom bows before truth. But ignorance kneels only to its own delusion. A scholar listens, weighs and yields when reason demands it. The fool however builds his throne upon noise. He mistakes volume for victory and stubbornness for strength. You can carve proof into stone yet he will still deny it, for his pride is built on denial itself. He doesn't search for truth he searches for validation. And when a man argues for validation instead of understanding, no truth can reach him. to debate such a creature is to wrestle with the wind. It howls. It shifts. But it can never be captured. While truth humbles the intelligent only silence can expose the fool.” -RumiMost modern people do not care about injustice to others. They care about being seen as someone who cares. It is performance empathy. This is how and why the media can select what the crowd will be outraged about. Watch them wear courage like a disposable costume. One day it's a mask, a black square in their bio or the Ukrainian flag, they come and go as quickly as Free Tibet or Kony 2012, and are as hollow as a white Epstein binder given to Zionist influencers. Theater has gravity. A herd with no moral principles will always glob on to whatever is socially acceptable and safe to hate. Thus we see the weirdly zealous outrage towards the problems of yester-year. It is extremely safe to condemn Nazis, racism, slavery OF THE PAST. But the current evils, sweat shop labor, exploitation, Jewish supremacy: challenging these things comes at a cost. Are you good or do you just wish to appear good?The less talent they have the more pride vanity and arrogance they have. All these fools however find other fools to applaud them. The ignorant always find comfort in the echo of their own stupidity. They praise one another not out of admiration, but out of fear, fear of seeing their own emptiness reflected in silence. Pride is their refuge, vanity their creed, and arrogance their mask. Wise need no applause, for truth is its own reward. Yet the fool blind to his ignorance mistakes noise for wisdom and flattery for honor. And so the world rewards appearances of substance, illusion over intellect. It is a strange comedy. Those who know least shout loudest. Those who know most must whisper to be heard.Noise and attention seeking make more money than telling the truth or tackling social ills. Piling on to the degeneracy is how one makes it in the world. This set up is part of our sickness and why most people run around like barely domesticated monsters. The future is rapidly becoming a contest of who is mastering fakery the quickest. It is a whirlwind of lies and self deception. Every filter, every edit and avatar is deception.“A man who lies to himself and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth either in himself or in anyone else. And he ends up losing respect for himself and for others. When he has no respect for anyone, he can no longer love. And in order to divert himself, having no love in him, he yields to his impulses, indulges to the lowest forms of pleasure, and behaves in the end like an animal. And it all comes from lying.” -Fyodor DostoyevskyLying to others and to yourself is hollowing.You do not need more time. You need less distractions. Hours are squandered on pointless endeavors, meaningless habits, mindless scrolling. Your time disappears as you get lost in the noise. The difference between the focused and the astray is discipline. Distractions are thieves. They don't just steal minutes, they steal dreams. They turn months into years and years into regret. You don't need an extra hour. You need a sharper mind. No matter what you know, no matter how many facts you have gathered, you are adrift without focus.If someone is hurt by honesty it is not the truth that hurt them but their inability to accept it. The fragile mind will always favor fantasy to patch over the rough spots in reality. To the strong willed this is disgusting. If you can not handle honesty don't bother asking me questions.Beware the noise. Beware the noise. It wants you to fail.“It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so”. - Mark TwainLittle BonusAlso see the Prefect Prisoner This is a public episode.

Ženy XYZ #17: O neplodnosti se psalo už v Bibli a dlouho byla považována výhradně za záležitost ženy. Dnes už přitom víme, že potíže bývají na straně žen a mužů přibližně stejně často. Neplodnost je také opředená řadou mýtu, od toho, že je vše jen v hlavě a stačí se nestresovat, až po to, že v případě potřeby vždy pomůže umělé oplodnění. V neposlední řadě mohou být neplodné ženy za svůj zdravotní stav zostuzovány a uráženy, což nyní zažívá i končící předsedkyně TOP 09 Markéta Pekarová Adamová. V 17. díle feministického podcastu Ženy XYZ o tom diskutovaly redaktorky Respektu Silvie Lauder, Markéta Plíhalová a Clara Zanga.
Javan Van Gronigen is the Co-Founder of Donately, a leading fundraising platform that has processed over $180M in donations for 1,400+ nonprofits. With 15+ years in digital marketing and social impact, he helped create accessible, transparent fundraising technology after his work on the global Kony 2012 campaign. Key Takeaways:Nonprofits thrive when they align marketing, storytelling, and data into a unified approach that strengthens both mission and message, especially when working with small teams and limited resources.Tools like Donately, Google Analytics, and AI empower nonprofits to personalize donor experiences, track engagement, and make informed decisions that drive sustainable growth.Establishing a steady rhythm—such as quarterly roadmaps—helps organizations stay consistent while leaving room to explore new ideas, platforms, and emerging technologies.Nonprofits that take risks, communicate openly, and lead with authenticity build stronger trust, greater visibility, and lasting donor relationships. “Act like for-profit businesses, take those risks. You will be rewarded for that if you're more bold and you go after being unique in that space.”“With AI...you just have the ability to audit and look through mounds of information far better than you used to. Understanding who your audience is, what's working, what's not, that's really critical.”“If you don't know where your donors are coming from, you don't know where to put your money.” - Javan Van Gronigen Reach out to Javan Van Gronigen at:Website: http://www.donately.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/javanvangronigen/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wearedonatelyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/donately_org/X: https://x.com/donately Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

The Compendium Podcast: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things
In this episode of The Compendium, we revisit the explosive rise and spectacular fall of Kony 2012 — the viral video that promised to stop Joseph Kony and his LRA army, but became a cautionary tale about social media activism. From the $30 action kits to celebrity endorsements, evangelical funding, and a public meltdown, we unravel how a glossy campaign captured the world's attention… and why it ultimately failed to do anything… at all. We give you just the Compendium, but if you want more, here are our resources: Kony 2012 – Wikipedia Kony 2012 viral video - Youtube Kony 2012 ampaign background – official website Host & Show Info Hosts: Kyle Risi & Adam Cox About: Kyle and Adam are more than just your hosts, they're your close friends sharing intriguing stories from tales from the darker corners of true crime, the annals of your forgotten history books, and the who's who of incredible people.

C'est une première à la Cour pénale internationale. Vingt ans après le mandat d'arrêt émis contre lui en 2005, une première audience de confirmation des charges est prévue par contumace du 9 au 11 septembre dans l'affaire concernant le chef présumé de la LRA, l'Armée de résistance du Seigneur, Joseph Kony. Traqué depuis 20 ans entre l'Ouganda, la RDC, la Centrafrique et le Soudan, Joseph Kony est suspecté de 36 charges de crimes de guerre et crimes contre l'humanité au cours du conflit sanglant mené par la LRA dans le nord de l'Ouganda de la fin des années 1980 au milieu des années 2000. À Gulu, principale ville du nord, les survivants du conflit attendent le début de cette première procédure. De notre correspondante à Kampala, Dans les bureaux du réseau des Victimes et enfants de la guerre à Gulu, tous les membres se préparent à suivre à la radio l'audience de la Cour pénale internationale (CPI). Parmi eux, Ochaya Bosco Ojok, resté pendant sept ans en captivité au sein de l'Armée de résistance du Seigneur, la LRA. « Après m'avoir enlevé, ils ont aussi enlevé mon frère qu'ils ont tué devant mes yeux, et c'est pour ça que je suis toujours autant en colère. Il faut qu'ils continuent la procédure, et qu'on obtienne des réparations pour toutes les années perdues en captivité », espère-t-il. En cercle, dans le jardin de l'association, les avis des survivants sont partagés. Est-il pertinent de poursuivre une procédure sans le principal intéressé ? Aucun doute pour Brenda Angom, enlevée par la LRA à l'âge de sept ans : « La procédure contre Joseph Kony est très importante, encore plus que celle contre Dominic Ongwen, car il est le chef et que Dominic Ongwen avait, lui aussi, été enlevé. C'est enfin une audience contre la bonne personne, celle responsable des atrocités en Ouganda, et même pour mon propre enlèvement, je lui en veux encore. » Deux décennies après la fin du conflit qui a ravagé le nord du pays, seuls deux commandants de la LRA ont été jugés et condamnés : Dominic Ongwen à la CPI en 2021 et Thomas Kwoyelo en Ouganda en 2024. Mais après 20 ans de traque, Stella Lanam, survivante, doute de voir un jour Joseph Kony derrière des barreaux. « Est-ce que c'est raisonnable de commencer une procédure en l'absence de Joseph Kony ? S'il ne revient pas, qu'est-ce que va faire la CPI ? On va suivre l'audience, mais ce qu'on veut en tant que victimes, c'est que les responsables rendent des comptes et que justice soit faite », estime-t-elle. Une justice que l'audience de confirmation des charges par contumace doit accélérer, espère Nobert Dacan, directeur de l'ONG Foundation for Justice and Development Initiative (FJDI), basée à Gulu : « Prenons ce qu'on peut pour l'instant. Cela fait des années qu'on cherche à arrêter Kony, mais sans succès. Est-ce que ça veut dire qu'on doit attendre ? Des victimes meurent de vieillesse tous les jours. S'il y a l'opportunité d'une procédure de ce genre, c'est déjà ça. » Une première procédure que l'activiste salue. Mais avant d'éventuelles réparations aux victimes ou condamnation, Joseph Kony, doit d'abord être arrêté et remis à la CPI.

People love to misuse the word "diabolical" these days, however we are headed to Uganda to talk about a man who absolutely deserves to be called it, and more. For those of y'all that remember 2012, enough said. For the rest of you, Kony founded the Lord's Resistance Army, a bunch of dudes who get together and commit war crimes together. A lot of events featuring this group include the word "massacre" in their title. Well, enjoy!
Volodymyr Zelenský sa dostal do pozornosti médií v inom svetle ako doteraz. Ukrajinský prezident podpísal zákon, ktorým vzbudil pochybnosti o snahe bojovať proti korupcii a vyhnal aktivistov do ulíc. Oslabením dvoch kľúčových inštitúcií podobných slovenskej NAKA či ÚŠP a posilnením generálneho prokurátora, by mohol koncentrovať moc a oslabiť očistu krajiny od korupčných prepojení. Zelenský však po hlasnej kritike zo zahraničia sľúbil otvorenosť pri nových opatreniach a zapojenie aktérov boja proti korupcii do zefektívnenia procesov.Ešte v stredu prezident schválil nový návrh zákona, ktorý posilní právny poriadok a zároveň zachová nezávislosť protikorupčných úradov.V podcaste Dobré ráno sa Jana Krescanko Dibáková so zahraničnopolitickou analytičkou Janou Kobzovou rozpráva o úrovni korupcie na Ukrajine a o tom, čo prinieslo schválenie zákonov, ktoré oslabujú Národný protikorupčný úrad (NABU) a Špecializovanú protikorupčnú prokuratúru (SAPO), čo znamenajú slová ukrajinského prezidenta, ktorý v tejto súvislosti spomína ruské vplyvy a v čom sa od Ukrajiny môžeme učiť.Zdroj zvukov: TA3, STVR, Česká televize, Channel 4 News, Sky News, Youtube/Volodymyr Zelenskyj, Al Jazeera, Facebook/Robert FicoOdporúčanie:Dnes mám pre vás kultúrne tipy, Bratislavu čakajú Korunovačné slávnosti a na viacerých slovenských hradoch budú zaujímavé akcie, dokonca aj nočné.

Greg Harrell-Edge is the founder of Proimpact Project, which is "Supporting nonprofit leaders with content and a community to scale impact." Greg talks to host Steve Boland about the need for early response, and more frequent responses, when nonprofits and social good missions are attacked. Keeping the tone authentic about your work and the real impact of your work, helps shift the conversation away from demonizing the whole sector. Greg mentions his influence in emphasis on impact from Dan Pallotta's TED talk. Greg further suggests tying fundraising support messages when appropriate, with speedy reactions helping to close funding gaps which may be caused, in part, but these attacks. Greg also cites the variable calls to action and results in campaigns such as Kony 2012.

Hosťom relácie Dírerov filter bol emeritný arcibiskup Róbert Bezák. Vyštudoval Teologickú fakultu v Bratislave. Za komunistického režimu bol členom rehole napriek tomu, že členstvo v reholiach bolo zakázané. ŠtB sa ho snažila získať na spoluprácu, ktorú však odmietol. Po vysviacke pôsobil ako kaplán v Brezne. V Ríme študoval morálnu teológiu. Pôsobil aj v kláštore redemptoristov v talianskom Bussolengu. Neskôr sa stal arcibiskupom Trnavskej diecézy, na miesto nastúpil po odchode Jána Sokola. V tejto funkcii upozornil Vatikán na problémy hospodárenia v arcidiecéze a čudné nakladanie s cirkevným majetkom. Róbert Bezák rozbehol aj projekt mapovania spolupráce kléru trnavskej arcidiecézy s komunistickou ŠtB. Po tlakoch ho pápež Benedikt XVI. odvolal. Na jeho podporu sa konali viaceré zhromaždenia. Pápež František mu nakoniec biskupský prsteň vrátil. Róbert Bezák sa pravidelne angažuje v boji za demokraciu, slobodu slova a podporil aj protesty Za slušné Slovensko.

Odkaz na celý dílViktor Tauš filmem a představením Amerikánka zvedl téma ústavní péče. Popisuje příběhy dětí, které vyrůstají v dětských domovech. Do podcastu jsme ho pozvali společně s ředitelkou nadace Sirius, Danou Lipovou, která se problematikou náhradní péče odborně zabývá. Aby mohlo být dítě adoptováno, musí být soudem rozhodnuto, že je právně volné, že v původní rodině už není šance na zlepšení situace. Jak k takovému závěru bezpečně dojít? Zároveň existují data, že největší šanci na úspěšné osvojení má dítě do dvou let, rychlé jednání je tedy také důležitý faktor.Jak dnes funguje ústavní péče a proč není víc pěstounských rodin, když víme, že fungují lépe než ústavy? Těžké, ale důležité téma. Partnerem podcastu je advokátní kancelář ROWAN LEGAL a provozovatel zdravotnických zařízení PENTA HOSPITALS a PENTA FUND.

How will people know that you care about a political issue if you haven't posted about it on social media? There's something beautiful in the optimism of believing we could all stop a war from our facebook likes. In this episode, Kelin and Leah discuss the fever dream that was the viral internet documentary and campaign that was Kony 2012.

Muži zákona počas pátrania po páchateľoch narazia na bývalého väzňa, ktorý má pripraviť o život jedného z vyšetrovateľov. Napriek tomu, že spolupracuje, objednávku mohol dostať aj ďalší potenciálny vrah a nikto netuší, kedy a z ktorej strany príde posol smrti. Dôležitú úlohu opäť zohrajú vysokí policajní funkcionári s pokriveným charakterom, ktorí sú úzko napojení nielen na osoby organizovaného zločinu, ale aj na biele goliere. Na čiu stranu sa priklonia policajné elity? Na stranu zákona alebo zločinu? V príbehu inšpirovanom skutočnosťou Peter Šloser znova umožní čitateľom nahliadnuť do reálnych postupov polície pri vyšetrovaní brutálnej vraždy podnikateľa aj do priestorov a pomerov slovenskej väznice. Kto je objednávateľom vraždy a kto sú vykonávatelia?

Pre údajné vyzradenie nepriznanej letnej haciendy ministra obrany Roberta Kaliňáka chce Smer odvolať opozičnú šéfku výboru pre nezlučiteľnosť funkcií Veroniku Remišovú. Ministrovi hrozí za porušenie zákona pokuta vo výške troch mesačných platov, poslankyni okrem odvolania aj pokuta v podobe dvanástich platov.Slovensku tiež hrozí prepadnutie desiatok miliónov eur z Eurofondov. Ministerstvo, ktoré to má pod palcom si práve vymenil Richard Raši so Samuelom Migaľom. Richarda Rašiho po dlhej koaličnej kríze koalícia konečne zvolila za šéfa parlamentu. U prezidenta sa medzitým hovorilo za okrúhlym stolom o obrane a zvyšovaní výdavkov. Pozvaní boli všetci lídri, okrem Igora Matoviča. Čo sa tam vlastne dohodlo?Minister Kaliňák sa k nepriznaniu vily priznal, prečo má teda niesť zodpovednosť a zaplatiť pokutu takmer 50-tisíc eur? Kto teda porušil zákon a kto má niesť zodpovednosť? A čo bude s opozičnými návrhmi na odvolanie vlády a viacerých ministrov? Braňo Závodský sa rozprával s poslankyňou parlamentu, členkou klubu hnutia Slovensko, ešte stále predsedníčkou výboru pre nezlučiteľnosť funkcií a predsedníčkou strany Za Ľudí Veronikou Remišovou.

Welcome to the Knowledge of Nothing (KON) podcast! Where your hosts, Tony, Brian, Oren and Wayne discuss the inane, hopefully entertaining, and sometimes educational topics on a weekly-ish basis. In this week's show, the KON received a lot of listener feedback, which may bite them in the arse down the road in an upcoming KON Hate-Watch party. Then Oren drops more knowledge on the benefits of “head” that may surprise you. Lastly, the main segment of the show is this month's iteration of “Smash or Pass” on recent entertainment news. There's a lot that got covered but here's a sampling: Paradise, Ted Lasso, Severance, Lilo & Stitch, Last of Us, Andor, Daredevil, GT6, Disney expired IP films, and the KON picks for best and worst movies (aka The KONy and The NahNah awards). There's plenty of KONMen hot takes so you'll have to tune in to find out more!https://www.facebook.com/theknowledgeofnothing/Instagram: @theknowledgeofnothingTwitter: @TheKONMen1TikTok: konmen01Bluesky: @thekonmen.bsky.social
The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy
Stop Wasting Your Time on Awareness Campaigns Curt and Katie chat about the limitations of performative awareness campaigns and the need for action-oriented advocacy. Inspired by the article Stop Raising Awareness Already by Ann Christiano and Annie Niemand, they critique viral campaigns like Kony 2012 and the CDC's zombie apocalypse campaign, highlighting the importance of targeting the right audiences, crafting compelling messages, and developing a theory of change. Transcripts for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode we talk about the limitations of awareness campaigns Curt and Katie talk about what to do instead of focusing precious time, energy, and resources on advocacy that is solely about awareness. We look at what has worked in the past and how to implement that now. Why Awareness Alone Isn't Enough Performative awareness (social media posts, profile filters) often doesn't lead to real change. Examples of failed awareness campaigns: Kony 2012: Viral but lacked sustainable action. CDC's zombie apocalypse: Popular but ineffective at promoting emergency preparedness. HPV vaccine campaign: Faced backlash due to misinterpretation of its message. Some awareness efforts even create harmful counter-movements (e.g., “All Lives Matter” in response to BLM). The Importance of Targeted Advocacy Broad awareness campaigns often miss key decision-makers—advocacy should focus on specific audiences. Examples of effective advocacy efforts: Lobbying for minors' rights to amend therapy records. Medicare reform efforts for mental health providers. California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT) educating legislators about MFTs. Developing a Theory of Change Advocacy needs clear goals and strategic planning. The story of Rosa Parks demonstrates effective timing and targeting in advocacy. Successful campaigns require repetition, patience, and clear calls to action. Practical Steps for Effective Advocacy: · Move beyond awareness—advocate for policy changes, funding, and direct action. · Target specific audiences (lawmakers, healthcare providers, educators). · Craft messages that resonate—ensure they lead to measurable change. · Develop a theory of change—plan advocacy efforts with long-term impact in mind.

Getting Weird, with Ashley Good Episode 076 - It's Crack Pipes All of the Way Down! In this episode, I have a heart-to-heart with Armie Hammer (from one cringe podcaster to another) and dive into the pipeline from Kony 2012 to 'I Support the Current Thing.' Speaking of pipelines, I also explore how nearly every major online marketplace sells drug paraphernalia. *** Song: The Armie Hammer Song - Performed by AI, Written by Ashley Good *** YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/@ashleyegood
Warren Buffett a világ egyik leggazdagabb embere. Vagyonát 128-130 milliárd dollárra (50.000 milliárd forintra) becsülik. Az amerikai milliárdos 2006-ban ígéretét tett arra, hogy jótékony célra fordítja a teljes vagyonának nem kevesebb, mint 99 százalékát. Ezt 2006-ban rögtön azzal kezdte, hogy több mint 34,5 milliárd dollárt (csaknem 10 ezer milliárd forintot) jótékonysági szervezeteknek adott. Az adományok négyötöd része a Gates Alapítványt támogatta, a többi a néhai feleségéről elnevezett Susan Thompson Buffett Alapítványnak és a gyermekei által működtetett három alapítványnak jutott. Vajon a magyar milliárdosok is rászánnák-e magukat hasonló gesztusra?

Čekal někdo něco jiného než, že bude Donald Trump testovat limity amerického ústavního řádu? Znovuzvolený prezident se do toho v prvních týdnech svého úřadování vrhnul s pořádnou vervou. Hned například vyvolal krizi, která se týká vládních výdajů. Na chvilku tím dokonce ohrozil systému spravující zdravotní pojištění pro desítky milionů Američanů.
Vládna koalícia má po huliakovcoch ďalší problém. Tento krát ukazuje prstom Dankova SNS. A to na skupinu poslancov Hlasu, pre ktorú krehká koaličná 76-ka stráca už pravidelne väčšinu v parlamente. Najskôr nesúhlasili s odvolávaním Šimečku, kritizovali ministerku Šimkovičovú, potom zablokovali koalíciu pri zákone o športe a teraz sú proti návrhu Smeru, aby premiér nemusel chodiť do parlamentu pred rokovaniami v Bruseli.Prečo poslanci Hlasu hovoria o tom, že pohár trpezlivosti už pretiekol? Čo im na to hovoria v strane a čo to vlastne znamená? Ako bude ďalej fungovať koaličná 76-tka? Braňo Závodský sa rozprával s poslancom parlamentu za stranu Hlas – Sociálna demokracia Samuelom Migaľom.
