💜 UPDATE ON MY SISTER & OUR FAMILY: 💜 My sister is still in the ICU and has a long road of recovery and treatment ahead of her. She can talk a little and move some, but she is still extremely weak. Once she is able to leave the hospital, we’ve been told she will likely need to spend 1–2 months in rehab to work on walking again, rebuilding her strength, and recovering from brain surgery. The surgeons were able to remove the tumor except for one area that was simply too dangerous to touch. She will be meeting with oncology in the coming days to determine the best course of treatment for what remains—whether that means medication, chemotherapy, radiation, or another treatment plan. A HUGE and heartfelt THANK YOU to Dr. Bi and the team at Mass General Brigham for taking care of my baby sister through such an incredibly scary surgery. ❤️ Her kiddos are thankfully in good spirits. The two littlest ones 2 years old and 5 months old just want their mommy and don't understand where she is, which is heartbreaking. 💔 Right now, my mom and I are caring for the kids at my sister's house, where they are most comfortable and can stay in familiar surroundings while Mommy gets stronger. I also want to say THANK YOU to the few of you who have donated to help me through this. It means more than you know. ❤️ Thankfully, both my mom and my sister have traditional 9–5 jobs that provide paid leave, and they are currently receiving 100% of their regular pay while they are out. That is an enormous blessing and one less thing for our family to worry about right now. My situation is different. Being a small content creator means I don't have paid family leave, sick time, vacation days, or PTO when a family emergency happens. When I can't work or do my regular shows, I simply don't earn what I normally would. I know there are people who don't consider content creation a “real job,” and you're entitled to that opinion but I respectfully disagree. I've worked my entire life, including while growing up in foster care, and eventually had a career in corrections. I didn't choose to become sick after COVID. I didn't choose to lose so much of my mobility or to live with serious and painful health problems. Some of those struggles I've shared publicly, while others I've chosen to keep private. I also have children of my own to care for, including a child living with an incredibly rare terminal illness. When my own health changed, my realistic choices were to go on disability and try to survive on roughly $1,000 a month, or find something I could do from home that allowed me to work around my health and my family's needs. I chose content creation. It allows me to change my schedule at a moment's notice, work when my body allows me to, stop when the pain becomes too much, be there for my children, and avoid childcare costs that I simply couldn't afford. This isn't the life or health I planned for. At times, illness and chronic pain have already made me feel like pieces of the life I once had were taken from me. I found something I could do within the circumstances I was given, and I've worked hard to build it. For those who understand that, thank you. ❤️ For those who don't, it is what it is. You're entitled to your opinion. Right now, my regular shows are going to be anything BUT regular for a while. I'm helping my mom care for my sister's children while still having bills to pay, groceries to buy, and my own household and children to take care of. So yes, I need all the help I can get right now. If you're in a position to help, even a few dollars genuinely makes a difference: 💚 Cash App: $skye3188 💙 Venmo: @Skye3188 💚 Chime: $Skye3188 💜 Revolut: @Skye3188 ☕ Buy Me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/untwisted 📦 Amazon Wishlist: amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3O… If you can't donate, PLEASE don't feel like you have to.

I love and appreciate you all. It has been an incredibly hard week, and there is still a very long road ahead. For now, we're taking it one day at a time. 💜 Xoxo, Elise

You realize you’re repeating almost word for word the same mantra he has fed his audience for years, right? “You don’t have to like me or my behavior, BUT I’m fighting corruption and fighting for YOUR First Amendment rights.” Okay, but at some point, shouldn’t you actually examine that claim instead of repeating it? How exactly is he fighting for YOUR First Amendment rights? What specific right of yours disappears if he is convicted? What speech are you suddenly prohibited from engaging in? What part of the First Amendment changes? It doesn’t. And if the argument is that he’s “fighting corruption,” then shouldn’t his own conduct be held to the exact same standard? If the evidence shows that someone manufactured or misrepresented “receipts,” provided false or misleading information to police or courts, secretly recorded people unlawfully, or knowingly fed an audience false narratives that resulted in people being targeted and harassed, would YOU consider those things corrupt? If your answer is yes, why would those standards suddenly change depending on who did it? That’s the part I don’t understand. You’re being told, “You don’t have to defend my behavior; just defend me because I’m fighting for YOU.” But what has he actually done for YOUR rights? Your First Amendment rights existed before him. They exist today. And they will still exist if he is found guilty. So instead of repeating his slogan, ask yourself: What specifically has he convinced you that you’re going to lose if he loses his case? And maybe the bigger question is: Why does supporting one man have to be packaged as supporting the Constitution? You can oppose government corruption AND hold someone accountable for their own conduct. Those two things are not mutually exclusive. Nobody gets a lifetime exemption from scrutiny simply because they repeatedly tell their audience, “I’m fighting for you.”

Let's Donate to this couple, This is Beautiful and what Community is all about! <3 Sending Love and Healing vibes to this beautiful Couple.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are pouring in for 81-year-old Donald Johnson after the internet found out he was working 14-hour days to help pay for his wife's cancer treatment. For the past three years, Johnson has delivered lost luggage after struggling to find other work to cover their bills, all while helping care for Josephine, his wife of 57 years. Then a North Texas resident saw him struggling with the bags and decided to step in, launching a GoFundMe to help with the couple's medical bills and give Johnson a chance to finally retire. Now, strangers have raised more than $270,000 for the couple. Johnson says the support could finally let him put down the luggage and spend more time where he wants to be: by his wife's side.

I really need to take a sick day today. ❤️ I’m in a LOT of pain and physically exhausted. I’ve had a nerve in my upper thigh absolutely GEEKING OUT since last night, and I barely slept. I’ve been pushing myself HARD lately trying to make up for the shows I couldn’t do while everything has been going on with my family. I work on this channel 6 days a week because consistency matters to me, and truthfully, I really can’t afford to miss a day of work right now. But today I know I need to stop. My body and my brain are both telling me I need a day to rest, recover and sleep, and for once, this stubborn woman is actually going to listen. 😂❤️ If you’ve ever wanted to support Untwisted Tragedies, today would be an incredibly helpful day to do it. Independent creators don’t have paid sick days. When I don’t do a show, I lose the income I would normally make from that stream. If those of you who are able can help me make up even a little of that lost income today, it would allow me to actually REST instead of spending the entire day worrying that I should have pushed myself through another show. Even a few dollars from a bunch of people adds up quickly. Please only give if you’re able. ❤️ 💸 The most direct ways to help me today- Venmo: @Skye3188 Cash App: $Skye3188 Revolut: Skye3188 Chime:Skye3188 ☕ Buy Me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/untwisted If you follow me on X, you can also click the $ symbol at the top of my profile to send support there. And if donating isn’t possible, I still appreciate you. Watching an older video, commenting, liking and sharing the channel all help. I spend a lot of my week showing up for this community. Today I’m asking my community to help me take one day to take care of myself. Thank you to everyone who has supported this little channel, whether financially or simply by continuing to show up. You have no idea how much I appreciate you. Now I’m going to attempt the extremely difficult task of SITTING MY ASS DOWN AND ACTUALLY RESTING. 😂❤️ Hopefully I’ll be back with you tomorrow rested, recharged and ready for more shenannies. Love you guys. ❤️ Elise | Untwisted Tragedies
