Annie in wonderland

    This is going to be a very self-indulgent post but it’s something that I at the same time think could help others with their budgeting some a boredom busters as well, so these do require unlimited access to the internet and some do have some cost for accreditation or to get a physical certificate. So these are all online platforms that I use ( some I do get money for promoting ) but I do like everyone that I am promoting as they are things that help me to either,   continue my education journey, save money, or find inspiration for ideas to write about and some I have used since I was studying and had to give up on a natural health degree, and I also see that some of these do encourage people to think crucially as you don’t need a university education to question the narrative that the legacy media are telling you and some of these are books that I have read to help me understand world history and to understand how we came to be where we are. As I recently got complimented on my l

   This is going to be an end-of-the-year post and it’s going to be a more in depth one, so I have one of my community access team (support organization) going on personal leave. But she is so on the ball and a true team leader in that she suggested to my mum we get my finances in order and it’s never too late or even to early if you have a disability to have your finances in order and the first step we are doing before we even need to think about doing a budget is doing something really basic, a list of things that I am no longer allowed to buy and this then shift me from the day to day goals and living to being able to have a holiday or a trip of some description, so this is going to be the start of that list   as I think most people as we are heading into Christmas are doing a combination of planning for Christmas and the new year as it makes sense when a lot of gift type items are around to by them when they are on sale and put them aside for the new year. I have a wardrobe full

The whole uniform debate in the support worker realm is like arguing over the color of deck chairs on the Titanic. Seriously, people, let's not miss the forest for the trees here. We're fussing over whether support workers should wear uniforms while completely ignoring the fact that having support at all is the real victory. Sure, some folks don't want to wear their "I have a disability" badge loud and clear. They argue against uniforms like they're fashion police. But, excuse me, uniforms aren't just about making a fashion statement. They're about accountability and easy identification. In a world where judgment is as common as a Monday morning coffee, knowing who's who can spare someone from unnecessary side-eye. Now, cue the Facebook warriors who think uniforms are the equivalent of a scarlet letter for disability. Please, spare me the melodrama. If you've got real dehumanization issues, it's not because your support worker is decked out

  This is something that we don’t really talk about and as we all start to think about the new year we need to start talking about these things as, unfortunately people with be subjected to trauma over the holidays and it can be triggering for people with a disability or who have been removed from families it can be a difficult time of year. We also are seeing that it can be a time where budgets are tight, and it provides not comfort and job but stress and anxiety of how to provide for a family or contribute to the day. But this is where we need to start talking about how having a disability isn’t inherently traumatising, but it can be, where the trauma start is not with the person who has the disability but with the persons family realising or having testing before the child is born or realising that they are not hitting their milestones or even hitting them early. With the people who have become disabled later in life or have had   a live changing accident or illness, this is
