Support Is More Than a Service — It’s a Network of Real People Good support isn’t simply about ticking boxes or having a list of services attached to your plan. It’s about the people around you. Real, caring individuals who contribute in different ways, coming together to help you live your best life. This network might include: Family — They often know your history, your likes and dislikes, and can sometimes anticipate your needs without words. Even if physical distance or circumstances like lockdowns keep you apart, family can be a source of grounding and comfort. And yes, families can argue — but in healthy families, those arguments are part of a larger pattern of communication and repair. Families can help teach and model communication. That’s powerful. Friends — These are your chosen family. They support you emotionally, listen when you need to talk, celebrate your wins, and stand by you during setbacks. Good friends accept you as you are, without judgment or unrealistic expecta...

Defending Jordan Peterson as an Intellectual: Setting the Record Straight In recent times, it's become increasingly common to encounter criticisms leveled against public figures, and one such figure who has faced his fair share of scrutiny is Dr. Jordan Peterson. Among the many criticisms, perhaps one of the most erroneous is the claim that Peterson isn't an intellectual. This assertion couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, Jordan Peterson epitomizes the very essence of intellectualism, and here's why: Academic Credentials : First and foremost, Peterson boasts an impressive academic background. He holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from McGill University and has taught at esteemed institutions such as Harvard University and the University of Toronto. His scholarly achievements alone attest to his intellectual capabilities. Depth of Thought : Peterson is renowned for his profound insights into human psychology, philosophy, mythology, and politics. His lectures a...

So this is such an interesting clip and I have lost track of how many times I have watched it. However, I love what it is saying and it links into the shadowhunter's content I have worked on some well as it says that the stories are true but not in a way that we would expect as in finding physical evidence to suggest what happened is their however it does suggest that we need to be aware that there are cultures where truth was passed down in stories and legends.  It wasn't a truth of their past but an explanation of why things are the way they are.  As well as oral history and this is amazing as we see that when we look deeper into the stories we see that people seem to be aware that there is such a thing as objective truth and this objective is what needs to be challenged and heard as we see that many people have challenged the catholic church but what we need to remember is any organization is only as good as the people within it, and this shows in a way with the Shadow...

This is such an interesting topic and I see this a lot in the Disability community that they are never happy and at times there are very good reasons for it like accessibility issues in the community they live in or for people to accept that they have a hidden disability and do need help to function.  I would also like to take the time to say that I see that he is controversial in the disability community because of his view on disability but we see that a is correct about what he is saying recently about disability is common sense at times and it is very often is taken out of context by bad faith actors and he has recently opened up about it as well, being "Cancelled," however we do see that people at times do want to accept what he is saying but are so far brainwashed that they can't see reason.   I have a post on it but he basically says to not let your disability become your excuse to find ways around it and sometimes it's a reason for the behaviours but if you a...
