It's a sci-fi double feature, just like watching movies at the drive-in as a kid. Or at least when Bob and I were kids. I don't even know if there are any drive-in theaters anymore. This is a special episode, not just because of the double feature, we also have a special guest! Hailey returns and all three of us are in the same room at the same time recording our thoughts on these two amazing films. Note the sarcasm there. Actually, they both have some redeeming qualities. And they both have some things that really irk us. Whether it's the cheesy special effects, the repetitive story telling or the obvious racial overtones. We get through them though. And what's important is spending time as a family reviewing movies. Because that's what families do, right?!? And an extra special congratulations to Hailey for graduating from the University of Washington's School of Public Health on Sunday. Way to go! We are so very very proud of you!
***Content warning We can dedicate an entire mini series on mental health issues, but today, we'll be hearing Terra Hoy's personal hardships of mental health. This interview is the second episode of a 2 episode special on Project Voice. If you haven't listened to our first one, please check it out (we covered transgender identity issues, he-he)! Content warning: we will be diving into questions about anxiety, depression, and suicide. We will be listening to Terra's take on how mental health has played a role during her transition during the past couple years. Terra is a queer, transgender womxn of color who is passionate about intersectional feminism. She intends to tackle institutional oppression, primarily focusing on healthcare for minority populations, including the socially and economically displaced, those LGBTQ+, people of color, and many more who are mis- or underrepresented. She is excited to share a bit of her perspective on Project Voice and hopes to utilize this platform to inspire other womxn and femme people of color. In time, she will lead in a policy-oriented career and education. She has the privilege of attending the University of Washington's School of Public Health to pave way towards a career reflecting her values and possibly enroll in the Evan's School of Public Policy and Governance. Check out her blog post on She Has Drive, a collective of authors that explore the issues facing women - it is titled "A Letter to my 12-Year-Old Self:" https://www.shehasdrive.com/home/2017/6/27/a-letter-to-my-12-year-old-self 9.15.18: Project Voice has rebranded!

A womxn is not defined by her body. On this episode, I had the honor of inviting Terra Hoy to share with us her narratives of growing up as an Asian American and coming out as transgender. Key topics that we will be covering today will include trans-legitimacy, gender dysphoria, self biases and expectations from loved ones and society. This is the first interview of our 2 episode special - tune in in a couple of weeks for another episode with Terra! Next time, we will be refocusing on the importance of mental health.

She intends to tackle institutional oppression, primarily focusing on healthcare for minority populations, including the socially and economically displaced, those LGBTQ+, people of color, and many more who are mis- or underrepresented.

In our first podcast, Jonny Chambers, Tech Worker, formerly from Microsoft, now working as Director of IT for the University of Washington's School of Dentistry, sits down with me to discuss Robotics. We talk about robotics and jobs (how many jobs will go away because of automation and robotics?), the possibilities of robotics and what tech and soon-to-be tech workers/graduates need to start thinking about if they want to work with robotics. Then we go Goofy (no not a homage to Walt Disney). We talk about films and television, past/future, and how accurate the were in predicting current or future robotic innovations. What can robots be used for and to do? And, how Mark Zuckerberg's robot butler might morph into a robot butler, robot baby, and more.All of this (the first of two episodes) focuses on Robots. Will it be the rise of the machines, or are all of these just dreams for the mad scientist in all of us.Talk Tech with me each week. Sign off, Maureen Majury
