First time doing this, feel like I just need to let it out. It was an overwhelming summer for me & my family. My mom had an Aortic valve replacement on July 18th which went well. She recovered for 1 week in the ICU. However, our insurance denied her rehab & she was sent home. Weeks later, was sent to the ER. Everything looked alright until she had a stroke. Several hours later, her heart stopped beating for approximately 18min & got her back but was in a coma (August 14th). Yesterday, at 3am, she passed away. Just 8 days shy of her 77th birthday. In case your wondering, I am doing fine. I knew this was going to happen. My mom would want me to stay strong & be happy. I will always love you, Mom. You guys are awesome on here, always love coming to see what is new. Take care for now.

getclutchCondolences for your loss. Even if it wasn't unexpected, she's your mom and you have all the rights to feel angry because she was denied rehab. Don't stay strong if you don't feel like to. Cry if it makes you feel better. Remember your mom in her happy moments and keep talking to her in your heart. A big hug.

Just finished an argument with my father, in which I tried to critique a television show (The Expanse) and he began telling me that my critiques were baseless because "the purpose of a tv show is to entertain in the moment," and that any of my criticisms of the long form narrative being told (the lack of character development, the slow moving narrative) have no grounds.
I like The Expanse, but having to completely shut off my mind every time I watch a show or a movie or read a book means that I cannot engage with its themes or appreciate the story. If the purpose of every story is to be entertained in the moment, then everything would be a Three Stooges skit. This lack of critical thinking is what leads to Donald Trump. Just believe the narrative, don't think, be entertained in the moment.
I cannot understand this line of thinking. Every story, and everything else in life, should be better for being examined.

My neighbors are all triple vaccinated, parents and 3 kids, and they all got covid a couple of times already. My eldest son has zero vaccines and never got covid even when his brother and father were ill.

I got a new job!! I am over the moon. On my second stress leave this year and just as the government is using illegal clauses to stop our union from bargaining and our province gears up for a general strike.... I am fucking out of here! Probably go to some of the protests this coming week because what else is new, but I am so grateful to be reclaiming my body. No more concussions. No more sexual assaults. No more hair getting pulled out. No more Kevlar arm guards. No more having chairs thrown at me. Good luck to the education sector, you're going to need it.

nutso couple of months. I was forced to move out of my unit with cheap and prime location due to what was my turd of a homeowner/landlord lying about the unit being viable and up to code and ending up acting unhinged towards other housemates that made living there unsettling, which being fucked with a living situation is always scary. I needed a new residence.
Now I have my own large 1-bedroom apartment and slowly filling the place out and accumulating furniture and the like. An opportunity presented itself three weeks into living there; two cats needed a home. I told everybody that I wasn't going to get any cats because I love having the freedom and just fucking off or working if needed for 18 hours a day and coming home to just sleep. The cats were part of a TNR program that my boss, at my part-time job and my parents' neighbor, is teaming with. So they were trapped at her house and were sent through the TNR process and into a humane society. The female cat was definitely a house cat before being a stray and had a liter of kittens in my parents neighborhood. She and her liter were trapped at the same time except they forgot this one kitten who hadn't been trapped until a month later. He would've been three months old at the time his mom and siblings were trapped and he had an extra month of fending for himself. My neighbors had been calling her, the mom, Penny; they name all the neighborhood cats that they feed and/or trap. The humane society were about to euthanize Penny and her kitten because Penny had bitten a child and this kitten wasn't adoptable because he was very feral. The person at the TNR facility took them back upon hearing of the development and my boss told me about the opportunity and I adopted them! Penny and her son, which I named Marlowe have been mine for 5 weeks now and after a VERY stressful first week of Marlowe being feral and hiding being the oven and breathing heavily without me being able to get him. He has settled nicely after keeping him quarantined in my bedroom, that way he gets hours and hours of direct exposure to me who was at first a 50ft alien to him. I just needed to show him that I was of no harm. Now, he has progressed to allow himself to squish his head into my thumb if i have it over his food dish while he eats. I have still never pet him with him knowing it is coming. He'll dash away before my hand reaches him. I released him into the full apartment after he didn't feel the need to dash under the bed at every step I took or advance I made. Penny does bite, but they are warning bites for when she just wants to sit on your lap and not get pet. Penny and Marlowe get testy at times, but mostly just chase each other through the apartment. I fucking love my cats and life just feels so much more settled after a few weeks of turmoil pertaining to my living situation.
