The internet and consent, a wider discussion we need to have.

    Hey so this is a really random post but one that ties into a wider discussion I think we as a society need to have around consent, and     the internet being forever. I have learnt that the hard way, but I am currently working on some other blog posts and I came across a screen shot of David tenant on Tumblr and it looked recent and it was from his wife’s Instagram ( David doesn’t do social media but is aware of it.) But I saw that they zeroed in on his foot where being pride boots, and then immediately    started speculating on his sexual preferences, as they have been doing for a couple of years since Good Omens has come out, and I am not saying I have anything against his preferences and his marriage but I started digging into his wife’s Instagram account and I saw in most of the posts that he was in and I might be totally wrong he looked scared or annoyed and there are some very recent ones that seem    to be quite invade and that she was filming without his knowledge, and I do

RD Lang I am discovering his approach to mental health

    I am taking a break from housework as I am listening to the work of RD Lang he was a very controversial psychiatrist who did something amazing and it has a lasting legacy today and I am just diving into his work. His most famous work is the Kingsley Hall experiment, made famously but the film staring David Tennant called Mad to me normal and we see that what he did was transform psychiatrists from simply medicating people and turning them into zombies to taking them out of their shitty environment generally institutions and giving them dignity and living with them. He when looking through the lens of modern thinking he was really ahead of his time in the fact that he was able to see past the mental illness and see the person, to me and I need to do some more digging I feel that this was the start of person centred   care as we see that people need to be very aware of what is happening in the field of mental health and he didn’t see his clients as “ uncompliant” or drug resistant

 ( This post contains a discussion on mental health please be aware of this)   Shadowhunters | Season 1, Episode 8: Jace Tells Clary Falcon Story | Freeform - YouTube At this point in time, Clary is new to the world and sees Jace as her guide to the world, yet we are seeing that she has been brought up in a loving protective world, not knowing that she was a Shadowhunter yet we see from this clip that Jace had a very different upbringing torn away from his parent's in Aclantate he was torn from place to place from family to family before being placed with the lightwoods.  This Alicante is the Shadow hunter's "spiritual home," they are placed in the institutes where they live and work but have family manners in Iris.  We know in human families that don't have a nomadic background that being taken from place to place isn't great, and can cause a lot of harm to a child not having a stable family life. In telling her the Falcon story we see that he believes to lov

The Shadow world and Mental Health. Alec Lightwood.

   Warning this contains a discussion about self-harm and attempted suicide.   So this is a continuation of the posts about Alec and his Mother Maryse lightwood, they have quite a rocky relationship and it is difficult to see this and how it affects him as it really does affect him quite badly at times. However with her progression into a really well-adjusted human she can face the consequences of her actions and admit that she has been wrong in the past, it is one of the hardest things for a person to do.  So this will focus on the relationship development in season 3 as it is where they have the strongest relationship in the show and can heal from the wounds they gave each other to become successful adults, whether in the mundane world or in the Shadow world.  In researching the posts focusing on Maryse I now realize that it's really that it's a combination of both the world and the situations that they are put into as we see that Mary was trying to protect her children and r
