Send us a textContent note: this episode discusses experiences with mental illnessOn this episode, we meet Virginia Townsend, the artist behind the vibrant creations of Bunnie Rabbitte, whose story illustrates how support and success are not mutually exclusive. In a wide-ranging conversation about art and mental health, Virginia opened up about the daily reality of creating while living with PTSD. Like many artists navigating disability, Virginia's journey includes managing sleep disorders and triggers that disrupt the flow of her day. Through sharing her experiences, Virginia highlights a truth that often gets overlooked: disability needs aren't one-size-fits-all, and our support systems shouldn't be either. Her advocacy for integrated, comprehensive care services speaks to something bigger than just accessing help; it's about creating the conditions where disabled artists don't just survive - they thrive and create remarkable work that enriches our world.

Chronically ill and dynamically disabled business owner and copywriter Darci Ellenberger joins us this episode for a conversation about running a solo-business while disabled. The thing is, managing a chronic illness or a dynamic disability is already full-time job. With at least 25% of the U.S. population self-reporting some kind of disability, and millions more reporting some level of new disability as a result of Long COVID or other post-COVID complications, how we approach work and disability requires a novel, creative approaches. Darci offers a wealth of insight for managing creative challenges, emphasizing the importance of community and support, and finding ways to continue delivering value to clients while prioritizing well-being— both for herself and her clients. If creating a work life free of deadlines sounds like your kind of dream, this episode is for you: Darci did it, without sacrificing her health or her bottom line.Links to work with Darci, as well as all other resource links, are **in the full show notes at hoorfpodcast.comSubscribe to Hoorf!

We are an independent media organization that is dependent on our member supporters. Please consider becoming a monthly supporter for a few dollars a month…goto https://Patreon.com/LauraFlandersandFriendss There are more anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers than there are abortion clinics in the U.S., even in states like New York where abortion is legal. Fake clinics are feeding people disinformation, laws are criminalizing doctors and patients, and the climate of stigma and fear has only worsened since the Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health in 2022. The Dobbs decision took away the constitutional right to abortion, abandoned almost fifty years of precedent, and paved the way for states to ban abortion entirely, as more than a dozen have. In this episode, Laura Flanders and co-host Adaku Utah explore the situation in a so-called safe haven (New York), and the frameworks for care that BIPOC reproductive justice activists — whose people have never been served well by the health system — are drawing on for strength and survival today. Our guests are Elizabeth Estrada, New York Field & Advocacy Manager at the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice and Chelsea Williams-Diggs, Executive Director of the New York Abortion Access Fund.

I feel both hope and heartbreak right now as we are speaking. Cops and courts are increasingly punishing and investigating people who are trying to seek basic healthcare as abortion. There is less access to gender affirming care. And of course, the genocides that are happening in Palestine, Sudan, and the Congo are stripping people of their lands and literally their lives.” - Adaku Utah“The worst has already happened, and it happened under a democratic president.

This panel of experts, comedians, and expert comedians will talk about the history of comedy and its potential to create change. Wayne Federman is a stand-up comic, actor, author, comedy writer, professor, and Emmy-winning producer. He has appeared multiple times on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon and has his own stand-up special on Comedy Central. He is the author of the bestselling book, The History of Stand-Up: From Mark Twain to Dave Chappelle, and teaches the history of stand-up comedy at the USC School of Dramatic Arts. Lanita Jacobs (joining remotely) is an associate professor of American Studies and Ethnicity and Anthropology at USC. Her fieldwork across sites of hair care, hospitals, and humor, asks how speakers construct a sense of themselves as individuals and community members without forgetting the socio-political stakes animating their lives. She is the author of To Be Real: Truth and Racial Authenticity in African American Standup Comedy. Kristina Wong is a performance artist, comedian, writer, and elected representative in Koreatown Los Angeles. During the Covid-19 pandemic, she founded the Auntie Sewing Squad, a national network of volunteers sewing masks for vulnerable communities. Their work inspired the book, The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice. Wong's show, Kristina Wong, Sweatshop Overlord, is a finalist for the 2022 Pulitzer Prize in Drama and winner of the Drama Desk, Lucille Lortel, and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Solo Performance.

In Lean on Me: A Politics of Radical Care, Lynne Segal, Anniversary Professor of Psychology and Gender Studies in the Department of Psychosocial Studies at Birkbeck, continues the radical exploration of how the personal and the political interact. As Baroness Helena Kennedy KC writes, ‘Both memoir and manifesto, this wonderful book charts a personal history of feminist socialism - and, with her usual humane wisdom, our author points the way to a better politics.' She was joined in conversation by Amelia Horgan, author of Lost in Work: Escaping Capitalism.Get a copy of Lean on Me: lrb.me/lynnesegalpodFind more events at the Bookshop: lrb.me/eventspod Hosted on Acast.

Today, discussions of care are ubiquitous. From employer-programs promoting self-care to the $800 billion healthcare industry, care forms a central part of our lives and the economy. But, are the systems and structures currently in place to care serving those who need it the most? This month's episode, featuring historian and activist Premilla Nadasen, takes a close look at the care economy and its relationship to racial capitalism and the reconfiguration of the welfare state. Along the way, we talk about the rise of the care-industrial-complex, wherein private corporations and non-profits benefit from public investment in care; what it's like for those who work in the care industry; and what a caring society built on radical care, as opposed to care-for-profit, might look like.
Dextra Hoffman's talent as a portrait artist first captured Elle's attention when Dex posted a WiP (work in progress) of Kate McKinnon as Holtzmann on Facebook. Elle quickly procured the portrait (which now hangs in their bedroom), spent a Comic Con with Dextra, and asked their brilliant friend to come on the podcast with the hopes that she would share the story of her grandpa and Captain America. She lovingly obliged. In this far-ranging conversation, Elle and Dextra share how their art has been impacted by grief, their sometimes goofy strategies for breaking out of the tunnel vision of ADHD-driven creative activities, so they remember to do things like eat and stretch, and as many things as their ADHD can fit into a meandering 45 minute episode.Subscribe to Hoorf!

Content Note: discussions of parental illness and death; mention of su* ideation, discussion of depression and alcohol abuse.Our host Elle and this episode's guest Nick Josten have known each other since sharing the improv stage in university. Since that time, Nick has lived in Japan, performed stand-up in Reno, and co-starred in an independent film. During their conversation, he and Elle agree that the one thing they were never prepared to face as adults was becoming caregivers for their aging parents. Engaging with their parents' mortality has forced both of them to confront a whole slurry of emotions; Nick shares how he has used creative practices — acting and writing — to alchemize his grief into tangible projects that can resonate with others.Nick and Elle recorded this conversation in late September. We here at Hoorf extend our condolences to the Josten family, as Nick's father passed from cancer in the days preceding the release of this episode. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.Subscribe to Hoorf!

Content Note: this episode contains descriptions of a child's coming out from the perspective of a parent, who is candid about her own homophobia. This story is shared with the consent of the (now adult) child, but some of the parent's early conceptions of the queer community are admittedly uneducated. In this episode, Elle shares an earnest conversation with Jen Blair, who shares her journey as the mother of a gay son. Jen's family spent decades in the LDS church, and by most standards were a typical Mormon family. When her son came out 10 years ago, she found herself at a complete loss for information, and with a singular mission: to love her son the same as she had been loving him before he came out. Jen shares her story of rebuilding community with and for her family in this episode of Hoorf!Subscribe to Hoorf!

This episode, which is co-hosted with Mika Thornburg, features a conversation with Dr. Chrissy Yee Lau, the author of the newly published New Women of Empire: Gendered Politics and Racial Uplift in Interwar Japanese America (U Washington Press, 2022). The book centers the compelling life histories of five young women and men in Los Angeles to illuminate how they negotiated overlapping imperialisms through new gender roles. With extensive youth networks and the largest Japanese population in the United States, Los Angeles was a critical site of transnational relations, and in the 1920s and '30s Japanese American youth became politicized through active participation in Christian civic organizations. By racially uplifting their peers through youth clubs, athletics, and cultural ambassadorship, these young leaders reshaped Japanese and US imperialisms and provided the groundwork for future expressions of model minority respectability and Japanese American feminisms. Dr. Lau is an assistant professor of Asian American Studies at San Francisco State University. Her research and teaching interests include Asian American History, U.S. Women's History, California History, and Public History. She is also co-editor of The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice.

On today's show, we'll revisit the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic by looking at two alternative supply chains for masks during the fallout from the Trump administration's failure to prepare. We'll be speaking with the ProPublica reporter David McSwane about his book Pandemic, Inc.: Chasing the Capitalists and Thieves Who Got Rich While We Got Sick. The book details the shadowy supply chain of brokers looking to profit from the pandemic – to the tune of millions of dollars. We'll also hear from Mai-Linh Hong, co-editor and co-author of The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice, about a mutual aid organization that created a different supply chain for homemade masks based on community, care and connection over profit.

We did it! Sixteen episodes, twelve guests, one dog. It's time for a summer recess. But first, several months and over a dozen episodes wiser, Elle caps off Season 1 with a kind of epilogue in a style similar to how we started, a bit of an audio essay. The State of Hoorf, but less formal, perhaps more rambly, but definitely more gratifying for those of us who enjoy discussing disability, pain, politics, love, and revolution.-----Subscribe to Hoorf!

Content Note: This episode contains swearingAccessibility doesn't have to suck! Artist Kim Hopson was born with one arm; she is really, really tired of the limiting narratives for disabled folks, finding herself the recipient of either pity, or the “attagirl!” for performing basic life tasks. What's more, she's tired, from parenting her two young children in a world built for people with two hands. Host Elle Billing and Kim spend this episode digging into all the ways disabled folks have to hack our ways through barriers on a daily basis, and the challenges and joys of getting the help we need.Subscribe to Hoorf!

In this episode, Elle and her guest, queer and autistic theologian Chloe Specht, discuss religious deconstruction, the process of identifying and unlearning harmful doctrines and choosing which beliefs and practices (if any) we carry with us into our adulthoods. While we may find ourselves deconstructing for myriad reasons, this conversation touches on personal experiences with homophobia, and leads with a desire to build inclusive spaces of healing and liberation.Subscribe to Hoorf!

In early 2022 they are still sewing and involve hundreds of Aunties, shipping thousands of masks to vulnerable communities across the US. The Book = Auntie Sewing Squad: Mask Making, Radical Care, Racial Justice (released 2021) talks about America's pursuit of global empire at the cost of its citizens, the significance of women of color performing a historically gendered and racialized invisible labor…And was written with cool coauthor Rebecca SolnitKristina Wong, Sweatshop OverlordKristina Wong for Pubic OfficeShe's actually an elected official at her neighborhood council in LA's Korea TownLegit check out her hand sewn props and if you have time, her interview on Sew and So is great!

Kristina plans a concept called Food Bank Influencer working on perhaps a food bank performance space to benefit the Navajo Nation - a nation which she reports, has only 13 grocery stores spread across three states serving 300,000 tribal citizens.
We speak with Dr. Rosa Rivera-McCutchen, associate professor of leadership studies at Lehman College, CUNY, about the importance of school leaders and teachers practicing radical care, including listening with intent and addressing skill gaps with honesty. Dr. Rivera-McCutchen talks about the importance of teachers getting to know the life of the neighborhoods around their schools.
“Had the government stepped in and done its job, had they not advocated against vaccines and mask mandates, we wouldn't have been frantically gathering our children to cut up bedsheets to make masks for medical workers and everyone else.” That's Kristina Wong, performance artist, comedian, and writer. This week, Wong tells the story of how she created a network of “aunties,” who were primarily Asian American, in a mutual aid project that ended up making and distributing over 500 thousand masks during the first year of the pandemic. In winter 2021, she opened Kristina Wong, Sweatshop Overlord, which played to sold-out audiences at the New York Theatre Workshop. Now Wong, legendary writer Rebecca Solnit, and several other members of The Auntie Sewing Squad have co-authored a book: The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice. Here to discuss the show, the book, the phenomenon of mutual aid in times of disaster, and how racial justice and feminism underlie it all are Aunties Kristina Wong and Rebecca Solnit. A regular contributor to the Guardian, Solnit is the author of Hope in the Dark from Haymarket Books, among twenty other publications.

Later in the show, how climate change will transform the coming face-off between the US and China – historian Alfred McCoy says China will be the world's number one military & economic power by 2030 but Chinese domination will last for only 20 years, because rising temperatures and rising sea levels will bring crisis and disaster to China's economy—and to ours as well. His new book is 'To Govern the Globe: World Orders and Catastrophic Change.'

How will global warming change the world's systems of power? Alfred McCoy argues that American global hegemony will end around 2030, replaced by China as world leader, but Chinese hegemony will last only for about 20 years—and that by 2050, climate change will have brought environmental catastrophe to both countries, and the rest of the world, with consequences that are almost unimaginable.

Kristina Wong never thought sewing masks would turn into a published book and an off-Broadway hit show but life doesn't always turn out the way we expect, now does it? From performer to politician to activist, Kristina wears so many hats - or in this case, masks - many of them at the same time, even she can't keep track. When the pandemic hit, she had a calling to DO something, so she found her own light in the darkness, and the Auntie Sewing Squad was born. They delivered thousands upon thousands of masks - and much more including a used ambulance - to people and communities in need. Ever the over-achiever, Kristina didn't stop there: She published the book, THE AUNTIE SEWING SQUAD GUIDE TO MASK MAKING, RADICAL CARE, AND RACIAL JUSTICE, based on her year-long experience. And then she decided to over-over-achieve her over-achievement and KRISTINA WONG, SWEATSHOP OVERLORD opened off-Broadway on November 4th to rave reviews. She's equally inspiring as she is hilarious and apparently never sleeps. Her journey will rally you to create a good squad of your own.

On today's episode, Jasmine Clark, Amanda Weinstein and guest host Beverly Batte unpack last week's election. We had some big disappointments in statewide races (looking at you, Virginia!) but there are so many victories to celebrate on the local level. So many progressive women won their races for school board and a big reason why is that they didn't shy away from discussing right-wing issues like CRT. Instead they listened, they came up with thoughtful responses that incorporated their personal values as moms, and they won their elections.And speaking of CRT, we want to bang the drum yet again for Heather McGhee's incredible book The Sum Of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone And How We Can Prosper Together. If the right wing thinks that “CRT” means anything that involves thinking critically about race, like teaching Heather's book, then sign us up!Losses like what we experienced in Virginia can be frustrating, but we don't need to wait for elections to take action. There are so many ways to get involved… like craftivism! Women across the world have been using their creativity and skills—often traditionally “feminine” skills like sewing, baking, and knitting—to create change for centuries. So Jasmine sits down with Kristina Wong, a performer and activist who created a squad to sew masks during the pandemic. You can learn more about it in her book, The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice.Finally, Amanda, Jasmine, and Beverly raise a glass to sports victories, Diwali, and getting our kids vaccinated in this episode's “Toast to Joy.”Do you feel like you could use some support figuring out how to respond to anti-mask, anti-vax, or anti-CRT messaging in your community? We invite you to sign up for one of our Troublemaker Trainings! They're fun events where you can meet other women who are facing this stuff too and learn strategies to stand up for the kids in your community.For a transcript of this episode, please email theswppod@redwine.blue.

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin: In May of 2020 I interviewed Valerie Soe and Kristina Wong about the Auntie Sewing Squad, a sewing circle that was formed on March 24th during the global Coronavirus pandemic. Initially the group sewed masks for frontline medical and essential workers, and then for vulnerable marginalized communities. From the outset, Kristina described the Auntie Sewing Squad as a stop gap measure, and said that she had no intention of turning it into a nonprofit. In fact, she stated that the nature of what the Auntie Sewing Squad does is not sustainable in the long run and that the goal would be for the group to eventually retire. The work of the Auntie Sewing Squad, has gone beyond mask making. So, when I learned that the Auntie Sewing Squad had set a date to retire, I had to invite Valerie and Kristina back on to talk about the Auntie Sewing Squad's retirement. Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode: Why and when the Auntie Sewing Squad is going into retirement The work that the Auntie Sewing Squad has done aside from sewing masks How the Auntie Sewing Squad is spending $10,000 on N-95 masks for farmworkers who have to work during the wildfires How Kristina and the Auntie Sewing Squad allocates food and supplies from the L.A. food bank to communities in need The Super Aunties of the Auntie Sewing Squad How the Auntie Sewing Squad is not the alternative to FEMA The other ways that Aunties are trying to support communities in need Dealing with the recent passing of Auntie Sally Super Auntie Constance Parng's breakout case of COVID How Kristina has been able to do more to affect change as an Auntie than an elected official The statement that the Auntie Sewing Squad put out after the Atlanta Spa Shootings The book about the Auntie Sewing Squad that will be coming out this fall (The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care and Racial Justice) The full-length documentary being made about the Auntie Sewing Squad (We Go Down Sewing) How COVID hospitalizations have affected people in need of other medical treatments/procedures The Auntie Sewing Squad retirement party How the Auntie Sewing Squad is nonhierarchical The term mutual aid The unique community and bonds that have formed amongst the Aunties and members of Auntie Sewing Squad What will happen to the group after it retires, and will the community still exist online Kristina's show about the Auntie Sewing Squad which is set to be performed in New York in November Related Links: The Auntie Sewing Squad's website: http://auntiesewingsquad.com/ The Auntie Sewing Squad on Instagram: www.Instagram.com/AuntieSewing Auntie Sewing Squad Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2764362993676831/ Auntie Sewing Squad Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/auntiesewing The Auntie Sewing Squad's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQrlwkZu_l6F1d9D_M5ZnGQ The Auntie Sewing Squad's book, The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care and Racial Justice, 30% off code 17M6662, valid for UC Press website only: https://bit.ly/3iwyEBb The Auntie Sewing Squad's HQ (list of notable Aunties): http://auntiesewingsquad.com/about/what-is-hq/ FEMA: https://www.fema.gov/ World Harvest Food Bank: https://www.worldharvestla.org/ Mutual Aid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_aid_(organization_theory) Super Auntie Constance Parng's Talking Taiwan interview: https://talkingtaiwan.com/constance-parng-super-auntie-to-native-nations-of-the-auntie-sewing-squad-ep-108/ Atlanta Spa Shootings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Atlanta_spa_shootings The Auntie Sewing Squad's Statement on Rising Anti-Asian Hate and Violence: http://auntiesewingsquad.com/blog-posts/anti-aapi-hate-statement/ Kristina Wong's website: http://kristinawong.com/ Kristina Wong's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ilovekristinawong/ Kristina Wong's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYVB9L Valerie Soe's blog: https://beyondasiaphilia.com/ Valerie Soe's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Valerie-Soe-1397194727164610 Valerie's previous Talking Taiwan interview about her documentary film, Love Boat Taiwan: https://talkingtaiwan.com/love-boat-taiwan-interview-asian-american-studies-professor-film-maker-valerie-soe-ep-66/ Talking Taiwan Episode 75: Auntie Sewing Squad Combats Covid-19 One Mask at a Time: https://talkingtaiwan.com/auntie-sewing-squad-combats-covid-19-one-mask-at-a-time-ep-75/ Talking Taiwan Episode 107: Auntie Sewing Squad 2: Supporting Communities On the Fringe Through Caring: https://talkingtaiwan.com/auntie-sewing-squad-2-supporting-communities-on-the-fringe-through-caring-ep-107/
Kristina started the “Auntie-Sewing Squad” as a way to connect with friends during the pandemic. Today it's a national network with more than 800 volunteers doing their part to help vulnerable communities. Like Kristina, many members of the Sewing Aunties are of Asian descent, and their families' involvement in the garment industry played a role in their passage to America. Although sewing has been a part of Kristina's life since she was young, she shares that she only took it up seriously when she started sewing props for her shows. Whatever the performance—whether it's her current show, “Kristina Wong, Sweatshop Overlord,” “The Wong Street Journal”, or “Kristina Wong for Public Office”, Kristina discovered that using props made it easier for the audience to relate to her and to the stories she's sharing. One of her favorite examples was when she created hundreds of felt hashtags as props to demonstrate the rise of the cancel culture. Whether she was throwing hashtags at the audience or they at her, it was a very tactile way to describe a culture that's very digital. (6:30 -11:08)When her tour of “Kristina Wong for Public Office” was canceled due to the pandemic, Kristina saw an article that hospitals were looking for cloth face masks, and so she made one. Then she posted on social media that she'd make masks for anyone who was immunocompromised or a frontline worker. For every 30 masks she sent out, a request for 90 more would come in. Her passion builds as she talks about the impact this effort had on her, the mask recipients, and the volunteers. When a neighbor who was helping her said that aunties are being called on to fix this, Kristina was struck by the image of aunties because it made her think of a non-threatening immigrant lady who's just kind of caring and sweet and doing the work of a soldier. And so, the group became the Auntie Sewing Squad. (13:12- 17:50 )Before long, the group shifted its focus from medical workers to farmworkers, indigenous reservations, migrants at the borders, incarcerated people, and poor communities that were impacted and that had no other source of support. The fact that many of these people were victims of systemic racism was not lost on the Auntie Sewing Squad. To provide support for The Auntie Sewing Squad volunteers, the group has started “Auntie Care.” It has partnered with Hollaback for bystander intervention training and is also providing self-defense training for many of its volunteers. Kristina explains that while the actual pandemic is winding down, the racial pandemic continues. She and the Auntie Sewing Squad are committed to helping fight it through labor and fabric. Because of assimilation and loss of her native language, Kristina feels that she lost connection to her heritage. She re-discovered that connection through sewing. When she was with her grandmother, and her grandmother started adding stitches to what she was working on, Kristina realized that sewing was a language they shared — a language that can provide a bridge to the past and the future. (40:00 -43:19)Kristina shares how the group has taught everyone to be generous with each other, and she talks about the power of generosity. Her book, The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice will be released in the fall and chronicles the evolution of The Auntie Sewing Squad. A cross between anthology, memoir, and visual record, it shines a light on the power of community. In addition to the book, she's also re-working “Kristina Wong, Sweatshop Overlord” for the stage. It will be premiering in New York this coming fall. Kristina's generous spirit, and her belief that giving more to others is a way to create more power for yourself, are both brought to life in her work and in this interview. As you listen, you'll find yourself thinking about ways you can create a better world.

AirGo is partnering with UIC's Social Justice Initiative to present The Sawyer Seminar, a series of conversations hosted by UIC scholars entitled Radical Care, Real Alternatives. This episode, hosted by UIC professors Rachel Weber and Philip Ashton, explores how the public goods and services on which we rely have been commodified, packaged, and sold to the highest bidder. From the Chicago Skyway to the Green Line subway to the parking spots across the city, the municipal government has auctioned off the public infrastructure in an attempt to plug short-term budget holes, with often disastrous consequences. Dive deep into the weeds and emerge with a new lens to challenge the privatization of our lived environment in Chicago and beyond.
