Thus far, people with disabilities continue to be systemically marginalised, and accomodations that support us to live independently are more often determined by people withOUT disabilities. Yes, this is despite the motto, ‘Nothing about us,…
Since my blog about the impact of watching DopeSick including my ‘mini’ existential crisis, I continue to learn about corruption and fraud in research and advocacy. The book by Charles Pillar, Doctored: Fraud, Arrogance, and Tragedy in the Quest to Cure Alzheimer’s says on the publishers website, “Piller uncovers evidence that hundreds of important Alzheimer’s…
In research and journalism, and one would think, in most businesses too, anyone publishing an article or story, setting up a business, or applying for a new research grant, would have done a significant amount of research into the topic, so that 1) it is based on facts, 2) so as not to reinvent the…

The last few weeks have had me going back to my undergraduate days when I was studying psychology, as I’ve witnessed many people around me making some some massive changes in their own lives.

Being courageous, respectful, honest, loyal and facing up to everything, including the negative things that happen to you, does take a little…
Passionate speech by indigenous journalist Stan Grant on being Australian. This is compelling viewing, and every Australian should watch it. On Australia Day, it is even more significant and important, as for many Indigenous Australians, they see little reason to be celebrating…

An online friend (thankx i0) sent me this yesterday, and I’m sure you will enjoy it; Glenn Campbell’s song on living with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Watch this video, Early-Onset Alzheimer’s: One Couple’s Story brought to my attention by Jami L.Hede, M.S., CCC/SLP. Thanks again Jami. It has really helped me out too, as the old brain is not firing too well today either, and I couldn’t even work out to re-blog! She made a very important point about yet another disaster waiting…
