Hey, it’s my first official video for the new channel! Me running down all eight Best Picture nominees for Sunday’s Academy Awards show.

I decided to launch a YouTube channel for talking about and reviewing films. It’s mostly a fun new experiment for me outside of written film crit. If you like listening to or watching me talk about movies, here’s the intro to the channel. First official video goes up Tuesday.

Hey. I have the full length story of what’s going on when you click through, but to summarize, my son and I are on the brink of being able to leave this awful house once and for all.

I was finally accepted for an apartment.

It’s hinges on the condition that I pay the full six month lease in front with a guarantor.

I’m a disabled (PTSD and MDD) and unemployed single mom, but I’m back in school now and trying to make life better for my son and I. As such, I plan on using my financial aid money to pay for a portion of the full lease term.

I have no help from family for this except from my mom who will be my guarantor once I show her I’m able to pay the other part of the lease.

I have a video, some audio, a bunch of photos, and some answered questions on there about my situation too.

Please consider helping me! Donate and share!

Seasons greetings y’all.

If you’re curious to see and hear what my living situation is like and have some questions I may have already answered, go here:


There’s some audio on there of the person my son and I live with, my maternal grandmother, explaining that she called my son stupid because she warned he was going to get hurt on the stairs here. I corrected her to let her know I was referencing the instance where she called him stupid for not remembering what he ate at school. Her response was that she just won’t say anything at all to him then.

Please consider helping my son and I!
