Hopefully another addition to the recipe book!

Denying amenities to your neighbours is Anti-Social Behaviour.
The weird hatred of children and teenager is Anti-Social Behaviour.

Giving kids nothing constructive, harmless outlets is a big part of what leads to vandalism and bullying behaviours.
Name and shame the NIMBYs
The council is nudging ahead with plans for playground in Portrane, despite objections from some local residents, in an informal consultation, that it could attract anti-social behaviour.

There’s nothing more anti-social than not giving anyone anything to do. Literally!

It’s baked into Ireland’s vacancy / dereliction / property price crisis.

A place to live needs to include things to do! Otherwise there’s no point living there.

Also *most* people at #PaxUnplugged were well behaved, but as a reminder ASK disabled people (especially wheelchair users) if they need help, WAIT for the response, and respect their if the answer is no.

My phone helps me keep in contact with my disabled sons therapists . I don’t have help with him so having his therapists to talk to about things helps A LOT!!! Including with my mental health.

I also need to be able to teach my elderly dad if he needs help or for me to get his meds.
I really need my phone service on and to handle these two bills so I can start rent which btw is due in 6 days 😅😅😅😅😅😅 please boost!

Ireland should be doing this too. There isn’t an alarm bell big enough to wake this government up. We should be in crisis mode, but instead it’s still shaking-developers’-hands-at-the-race-course, business as usual.

Have I ever mentioned that I love the comments sections of my videos? Every now and then you say something that is like 3 years of rocket fuel for my spirit. This is your warning that I'm gonna start using them like review quotes on movie posters.

This was such a great talk exploring Bengali Folklore and modern iterations in movies.

Really engaging and well worth a watch.

If it's not a topic you know about, this is a great introduction!

If you already know about it, this offers a fascinating exploration of some modern reimaginings.
If you missed this week's Romancing the Gothic talk, you can catch it here.

It was an absolutely fantastic exploration. Highly recommended.

Mastercard is bleeding, get in there. Make some calls. Get some cool family members in on it over thanksgiving
The lines are getting clogged from calls and Mastercard is feeling very pressured, they're looking into how to act in response. They're collecting information on callers to have a better understanding of who is calling in re the censorship issue

If you wanna little insight into these series of unfortunate events, go look at Az’ Patreon.
This is the first time I’ve shown pictures of what’s been happening to my face and teeth over the past two years- even to friends or family 😬

Today's PSA
Seelie & Unseelie are Scots terms, coming from lowland folklore. Seelie, meaning blessed or lucky, is a euphemism for the Good Neighbours that dates to the 15th century. The Unseelie court (unlucky, ungodly group of Fair Folk) is a later addition which appears by the 19th century.

Yeah so.

My food stamps are discontinued, and my car has died.

I just wanna eat and provide for Ichiban, so if you can help out I would appreciate it. I also have a lot of overdue bills that have piled up as well—everything is just a lot right now and I could use some assistance.
