  • Hollywood V. Disability PBW May 2023

    n the May episode of The Purposely Broken World, Kevin breaks down the disability hierarchy portrayed in modern cinema. Hollywood only uses disabilities that are easily manageable or easily hidden. Too often, people with disabilities are typecast as the inspiration or the villain. Hopefully, this episode will start a conversation that will lead to change. All comments are welcome.

  • Subconscious Life Values PWB April 2023

    In the April episode of the Purposely Broken World, Kevin uses the films Me Before You and The Fundamentals of Caring as the backdrop to a conversation about the value of life. Regardless of circumstance, every life is precious. Is the media subtly telling us that if someone has a significant physical or behavioral disability, they should die? How many people have all their faculties but waste their lives? Ponder these questions and more in this very thought-provoking episode. Parental advisory is not for language or sexuality but for sensitive topics. All comments are welcome.

  • Disability Slavery PBW 2 2/23
    PBW episode 2 February 2023
    According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary the word, “slave” is defined as:
    “a person held in forced servitude
    disapproving: a person who is completely subservient to a dominating influence”
    There is a population in our nation that is subconsciously enslaved. We systemically support it without realizing it. While most Americans worry about the price of gas or the price of eggs. Disabled Americans have been held to the same $2,000 asset limit for over three decades. We have LGBTQ marriage rights. However, disabled Americans are still penalized for getting married. If someone puts their child up for adoption It is not questioned. Before their child reaches the age of two a disabled parent will certainly receive a visit from social services.
