The humorous and diverse “Multifaceted Discourse” delves into a smorgasbord of subjects, with the usual touch of self-deprecating charm.
Being a jazz vocalist is a real thing

It was cool to see a jazz vocalist headliner; they scat on every song
Bow Down

Onus Removed?
This could be a moment to rethink the A.D.A.’s framework. The Justice Department could take a larger role in enforcing the law, and Congress could amend the statute to give businesses a window to correct violations.

We nearly take a thought-provoking turn reading The New York Times’ article, “It’s Time to Rethink the Americans With Disabilities Act,” shedding light on disability-related discussions.
Always Protect Yourself
A viewing of the film “Million Dollar Baby”; delving into thoughts on body limitations and the pursuit of perfection.
As Lennard Davis himself has written, “what is universal in life, if there are universals, is the experience of the limitations of the body”. Yet in films like Million Dollar Baby, and seemingly in every other ideological corner, we confront what Davis calls a “fantasy…of the perfection of the body and its activities”. We cannot step into this ring alone.

Submission
The episode then takes a poetic turn, inspired by Joe Imwalle. I’ve submitted my poetry around to some places and that’s a lot of fun and disheartening, but I’m more having fun with it.
Still need a lift
Wheelchair lift issues are ongoing.
Book Rundown
Book reviews include “2021 Best Sports Writing” anthology, Brandon Taylor’s “The Late Americans” and “Biography of a Phantom” by Mack McCormick.
Letting AI sum up
“Multifaceted Discourse” is a delightful blend of humor, insight, and intrigue.
