The Bane Cronicles

Image
So this is a bit of a shorter blog post about the Bane Chronicles, by Cassandra Clare and I see that we see this is an interesting concept as it is a collaboration with other authors as well.  as we see that as I have mentioned in other blog posts, we see that they can understand, what is happening, and Magnus is immortal. However, we see that he is interested in a way and we see more about the dynamics of the downward and this is interesting, that he is in the down world and he doesn't have a job.  But we see that he does consult, and in the original books he just procured what he needed. We see that he was an interesting character and we see that he doesn't need to work, as in the show he is portrayed as a child having a middle-class background living on a farm in the dutch east indies.  ( modern-day Indonesia)  )  Dutch East Indies - Wikipedia We see that one short story that stands out is the actual details of the circle and the uprising, so we see that the lightwoods Marys

Lilith in the Shadow world.

  So, this is one of the last posts I will be doing on Shadow hunters I will be doing a deep dive into Lilith. So in Jewish mythology, she is Adam’s first wife and she is the mother of all demons,   All because she didn’t want to become subservient to Adam, I love this and I seek to see her and her mindset so she is the first “barren,’ woman, and portrayed as the height of evil.   So this evil had to come from somewhere yet we see that it was in Christian mythology that eve ate the apple from the tree in the garden of Eden. So what did that apple represent and why was it so controversial that she eats it as it gives her power, Lilith already had power and agency she knew that she didn’t need a man to save her it would be nice but she didn’t need a man to save her from herself, she new actions had consequences and that they couldn’t at times be predicted. However when we start to understand what is happening around Litth being portrayed as evil we start to see that it is a suppressi

Mia and What happens when you have a lack of support.

  Mia and what happens when you have a lack of support part 3 So we see that Mia was a character in the Show and not the book, we see that she has had to be independent from   a very young age, we see that this is something that people who don’t trust easily have and we see that people need to trust and to tell people the truth. To the people who you care about. We see that Mia, with Simon, doesn’t trust him and we see that she doesn’t tell the whole truth. This isn’t lying but it’s a huge issue,   that we see that both Simon and Mia have trust issues because of the way that they become downworlders, so suddenly,   We see that she is in a “prison of her own mind,” in projecting her fears onto people. [i] We also see that she has gone through a massive amount of trauma, in Jorden and this is a metaphor and we see that Jorden does own his mistakes.   This is huge for a man to own his mistakes. So in owning their mistakes is great it shows some accountability in a way that we don’

Is there a NDIS equilivant in your part of the world.

  In Viewing the views for my blog and planning out the content I see that I have a lot of US views and I do wonder why as I am very much entrenched in the   Australian culture and when I mention the NDIS, [i]   It seems to me that there is very little equliivant in the USA it seems to me that it’s state-based and this is the complexity of the issue is that we are talking over international lines and I understand that this can be quite confusing at times due to   The US tax system being very different at times. I am now seeing why people who leave the US say that they didn’t realize that what makes Australia so unique is how we look after each other, which is at times reflected in government policy. So we don’t have universal health care anymore but we do have a system called medicare where you get a rebate from going to the doctors or if you go to a state-based hospital your care is paid for by the state tax money. You can go to a private hospital but if you don’t have health

Ecco Park epsiode two

  Ecco Park Part two 2. Imposter Syndrome - Echo Park | Podcast on Spotify This is a very interesting podcast and this is the second episode in the series and we see that it’s a very interesting podcast and that James a source for Terrance – his Ecco as the clones like to be called, we see that they are able to form a relationship. However we see that this relationship is very one sided and the James has been using Terri for clean samples, however we see that the clones have there own politics and that the ability to hide from the police, as we see that Ecco Park where the Clones live is closely monitored.   Due to the fact that they are actually targeted by them and we see that this is an issue, for them that they are targeted. We also will discover that the are seen as second class people in the eyes of the police and I see that this is a very real world issue, an issue that we see in many first world countries that the police are stretched with resources and that they ar

Mia and what happens when you have a lack of support part 2

  Mia and what happens when you have a lack of support part 2 We are now going to do a deep dive into Mia and what happens when you have a lack of support. We see that she is strong and independent but also that she didn’t get there alone and has gone through a lot. From her teen years until now she wasn’t cared for until Luke found her where she was found bitten by a werewolf (Jordan) and left to turn. This is difficult for her to process as it was her boyfriend (Jordan) who got bitten as well and he didn’t know how to tell her so simply ghosted her (he stopped communicating with her) and left her to turn alone. Even though he had stopped speaking to her, he started following and essentially stalking her until Mia told him to leave her alone. Jordan only actually left Mia alone once he had attacked her and bitten her then left her to turn. We see that she is strong and independent but also that she didn’t get there alone and has gone through a lot. From her teen years until no

Talking to people with an intellectual disability about death.

Image
So this is a very quick post about how to talk to someone with special needs about death and I have linked some other content down below about it as well.  So looking at this can really help as well.  As it is something that isn't really discussed in disability circles and it needs to be as it can harm the person more in the long run.  So being honest with the person is always a good thing, to be honest with people is great.  Also letting them go to the funeral and preparing them for it is another big thing as well.  In having them understand what is happening we see that they are much more prepared for it and understand that it would happen to them as well.  Also, let the person ask questions about death and let them be curious, I have linked some children's books as well because many people won't have the words but a book can help.  Top 10 children's books on death and bereavement | Children's books | The Guardian How to Talk to your Child with Special Needs About

Toxic positivity

So these are a couple of thoughts on this and what I have found to be much more helpful instead. I find that being realistic about your situation and understanding what is helpful is much better. It helps to see the situation for what it is and accept it.  What I am saying by accepting the situation is being able to say that yes it will get rough and it will get better, or finding the little joy moments but also seeking to be real and honest. The people who care about you are for you.  I am a big fan of accepting professional guidance and support and there is plenty around at the moment. So when I say accepting help and support I am saying that letting people in and positively working with them so, if you have support workers/caregivers letting them know what your needs are understanding that everyone's needs are going to look different.  Accepting that some things are going to be different and if it's a disability or an illness that came out of the blue accepting that it's

Talking about being high functioning, in society.

Image
So this is an interesting video and it's a topic that we need to talk about being "high functioning," with a disability doesn't mean that we aren't disabled.  So with this in mind a lot of people with conditions that others would consider a disability we see that it might not be the case for them, they might just consider it a medical condition or a different way of being and this is ok.  However being high functioning comes at a cost, a mental, physical, and fiscal cost and this is an issue for some of us due to not knowing where we "fit" do we "fit in at a day center. Do we fit in at a disability enterprise, where they go and work in a safe environment?  Or are they able to work and hide the fact that they are disabled this will vary depending on the person and the country they are living in? So I hid the fact that I was disabled for many years and we see that this is an issue now that I didn't ask for the help I needed and my family did a lot

My Support of the Raido presenter who broke down on air discussing disablity services.

  So this is a bit of a different post and it is something that needs to be discussed I see that it’s something that others are aware of as well, however, what is it, it is the lack of disability services in the Outback and this is something that we need to be aware of that there are people with a disability that don’t fit into any box, so slip through the gaps.   These doctors don’t want them working, but they can’t drive, they are too high functioning for a day center or they don’t have the funding for a day center and this is a big issue as well. So what does that look like as well, as the person gets socially isolated and often their budget is very tight so they need to be aware of that as well. But what does this look like and the support that was outpour for Sabra Lane I want to put my bit forward and say that the NDIS is great but we need it to go so much further and we need to be much more aware of this as well.   There is a growing awareness of disability but what it
