The photos below are what you're going to need for a small group to make bookmarks, this is an activity that myself and my housemates do and then family members laminate them, and cut them up so for some people even peeling a sticker off a sheet is an achievement. So you're going to need a coloured stiff paper or cardboard and to cut to size, I am not sure of the size but you could have a discussion around the size needed in the small group and talk about measurements, then a support worker could laminate them and if the clients are safe with scissors they could be cut up, they could take them home as gifts or what we do is that we hand them around the primary schools for book week and this year my aim is to go for a drive to the small one-teacher schools for book week and hand them out.  I haven't included the laminating sheets or the laminator as I am assuming well-equipped day services will have a laminator in the office, for doing basic communication boards and toilet e...

  I all so I put this up on my sub stack and patron but I feel after listening closely to Terrance Howard on Joe Rogan it seems that we need to have a very serious conversation about and around Media literacy and this is going to be an ongoing topic for me, as this topic is close to my heart as I am working on it myself.  So this will be an ongoing series about how the impact of media has impacted me how I choose some books and where to get the media education.  Recently, I had the opportunity to listen to Terrance Howard's interview on Joe Rogan's podcast. The conversation was a stark reminder of the importance of kindness, media literacy, and scientific literacy in our increasingly complex world. Howard's use of scientific language, albeit often out of context, highlighted a crucial issue: the need for critical thinking skills and a robust understanding of the media landscape. In today’s society, the lack of critical thinking education in schools is becoming more appare...

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...

 When I saw this clip, I was like this must be a setup but know it was a real reaction and I know that I am hypersensitive at times as well, and entitled, but to say that people who use wheelchairs aren’t paralyzed is just plain wrong and uneducated about disability. Both Strollers and Wheelchairs are mobility aids, and they are a tool. We see in the Clip that the person is suffering from a valid health condition known as obesity, but I am fairly sure that she would be a part of the body positivity movement, this body positivity denies one fact, that  health isn’t health at any size, you can be thin and very unhealthy as I was for many years, but to be obese we need to point out some difficult and challenging facts that there is a higher risk of, Heart disease Stroke Sleep apnoea High blood pressure Depression These are just a few and it’s not healthy to be obese at all, a little overweight in case you get sick I got told by my own health professional that it’s a...
