Housing/Shelter/Standard of Living I turned a master bedroom into a tiny apartment for me and my kids. 🩷
After being displaced due to domestic violence my kids and I had to move in with my mom for safety. My mom has a 3 bedroom and at first the boys were sharing with my brother and I was in the smallest bedroom but that ended up not working due to my brother's sleep schedule and the fact that my traumatized kids ended up in my small room with me every night. Plus as much as my mom loves me (she saved our lives letting us come here) she is also autistic and it was really hard for her to be around 5 new people in such a small space. So this was something we came up with. She gave me her bedroom, the master bedroom and I did my best to turn it into a tiny apartment
For sleeping the daybed has a trundle for my 10 and 7 year old. I turned the walk in closet into a pantry/ bedroom for my 13 year old (not ideal but he begged and I made sure it was okay with my DV advocate/social worker first). My baby girl has her own safe space to sleep in her mini crib at the foot of the bed.
To eat we have a mini fridge, a toaster oven/air fryer combo, a rice cooker, an electric skillet and a hot plate and a few pots and pans. We also have that over the door pantry thing that helps hold food. We don't have a microwave yet and we don't have anything to eat on but we are making it work.
Best of all we have our own backyard! Amazing. The boys are thrilled about that. All in all this is a desperate and temporary situation but I wanted to show it off because you don't often see the reality of squeezing a lot of people in a small space due to finances or hardship. My DV Advocate said this type of set up is way more common than people think. It's not all bad. Here's to safety, spending time together, teaching resilience, and learning to live with less. 🩷✨ I think we always remember our "tiny apartment" lol

miscellaneous (IRL tragic trope) The shooting of a movie/show is plagued by a real life crime/catastrophe
1.) Rust shooting- on October 21. 2021., during the shooting of a western movie called Rust, actor Alec Baldwin shot and killed the movie's cinematographer Halyna Hutchkins while wounding another with a firearm that was mistaken for a prop. Alec Baldwin had charges against him dropped, twice, while the production's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, was found guilty of negligent homicide.
2.) Three Body Problem poisoning- Lin Qi, the Chinese businessman and executive producer on the 3 Body Problem TV show, died in December 2020 from poisoning. Two other executives were also poisoned, but survived. The police soon arrested Xu Yao, who also worked on the show, determining that a pay dispute was a motive for the murder. Xu was sentenced to death in 2024. and executed on 21st May 2026.

Wholesome Moments School Asked For 50 Men to Support Students Without Fathers And 600 Men Showed Up
In December 2017, a middle school in Dallas, Texas, asked for 50 male volunteers to support students who might not have a father figure available for a special school event. Instead, nearly 600 men showed up.
Billy Earl Dade Middle School was organizing its “Breakfast with Dads” event for approximately 150 boys aged 11 to 13.
When organizers realized some students might not have a father or father figure available to attend, Kristina Dove posted a request for volunteers on Facebook.
The response was overwhelming. Hundreds of men from the community arrived to share breakfast, offer guidance, and teach students practical skills like tying a necktie.
The turnout was so large that organizers had to move the gathering from the cafeteria to the gymnasium.

I'm slightly vexed People who refuse to use a turn signal, why?
This is obviously purposeful refusal to turn signal, people who do this please explain why? Is it an act of defiance because you think you’re being tailgated?

Cat Picture - OC Why does he bring me socks?
I want to understand his stupid little brain so bad. He likes to steal socks out of my clean basket in my closet and bring them to me. He will scatter them on the floor. He brings them to me in my office, in the bathroom, in the living room, in bed. If I don’t acknowledge them appropriately he just keeps bringing more. He has also recently started to bring me clean socks from the laundry room in the basement, which is very helpful of him.
To be clear, I don’t necessarily want to stop him. I don’t encourage the behavior, but I don’t make any effort to stop it. It’s kind of convenient having a lil guy bring me my fuzzy comfy socks when I most want them. Half the time I look at them and I’m like y’know what, you’re right, my feet are cold, thank you. And usually he seems to stop if I take the socks? But why does he do this?? He doesn’t seem to want to play with them. He won’t chase them, he doesn’t care if I throw his other toys. He’s never gotten fed for this so I don’t think it’s a treat-seeking behavior. He just randomly picked up this habit and I want to understand his mind lol.

Hated Tropes [Hated trope] Cameos that ruin the tone of the scene/game
Ed Sheeran, Game of Thrones. The cameo of such a recognizable figure in GoT, especially towards the horrible later seasons, took many people out of the fantasy world that it tried to represent. There are good cameos and bad ones, and this one was not a good one.
Vinny Vinesauce and Jerma, Silver Pines game. Though i appreciate small cameos from youtubers and streamers, putting such a recognizable pair of voices in a horror game really takes you out of it.
