internet safety and how I nearly got scammed

Image
This is a video that is pain full to watch back and it is for good reason, that I thought as a content creator I wouldn't fall for scams such as this one.  As a fairly famous mid level actor reached out to me through an new account on Intergram and  as the actor has a reputation for reaching out to fans we see that I thought it was , however we see that it was easy to see looking back how easily I was duped into thinking that it was the actor that I admire.  What set off red flags for my support team though was that it was a new IG account so it had now followers and no blue checks, it wasn't a platform that the person uses often and he is very anti social media.  As well as not responding to an email that I sent to him and then getting offended when I asked why he couldn't and his excuse was his management don't like him answering his own email's.  We see that this is a red flag as he could easily set up a Gmail account that is his personally for fan mail, however

What if Being Dissatisfied Is Part of What Satisfies You? thoughts from a disablity perspective.

Image
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 ar

talking to people with a disablity about death

Image
I am posting this the day before the official day morning and as we have seen so much coverage from death to HR Queen Elsbeth II's funeral and I wanted to revisit talking to people with intellectual disabilities about death.  I have some kid's books about death and it is a great opportunity to talk about death in a developmentally appropriate way, and the advice is to be direct and simple, and not use euphemism's about death, like they have gone to a farm, or crossed the rainbow bridge.  Also, I see that people can understand much more than they would admit.    These are some really great books aimed at kids depending on their mental capacity or using videos.  25 Children's Books That Explain Death And Grief To Kids | HuffPost Life I would also suggest giving the person time to grieve if it is someone close to them that they have lost and that they are also talking about that it's permanent and that to take them to the funeral.  I also suggest talking about appropri

The Bane Cronicles

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
