My rent went up 30% and my mom's went up 50%, so I can use help covering the difference for October. Even if it's just $10. Thanks in advance. I'll be sure to pay it forward as soon as I can. CA: $berrakbiz I do also have a BMAC if that's easier: buymeacoffee.com/berrak

What's the candy you'll *only* eat in October because you strictly associate it with Halloween and it feels illegal to eat it any other time? For me, it's Smarties.

"How is this not illeg-" Let me stop you right there. Everything they're doing is illegal.

I've had two colposcopies and was not given any kind of sedation or pain medication for either. My friend was going over her medical history this morning and she was sedated for hers in Türkiye. So now I'm just a ball of anger remembering my incredibly painful and uncomfortable experiences.

Going through my picture to finalize the selection for the seagull-themed calendar I'll be putting in my shop and I just love how unhinged some of these shots are. (This is a zoomed in crop of one of the group shots)

I hate hospitals. But when my friend needs physical and moral support while getting an endoscopy, I set my alarm to 6:30 for Saturday morning to go with her.

During a video call with my 9-month-old nephew, I jokingly said "Don't scowl at me, I just got dumped," and my SIL's face pops on the screen like this and she whispers "I'll 💀 him". 😂

My friends after I text them about my breakup: "Call me if you want to talk about it" Me, after sobbing while trying to send a voice note: "Nope, neither of us needs me angry-crying on the phone right now. I appreciate you and just needed to type it out."

In the last 3 days, my washing machine broke, I got my final unemployment check, applied to approx 50 jobs, and the dude I'd been seeing for 4 months "reconnected" with an old friend so we're done. Plus all the shit happening in both my countries. Cool. I'm drinking now.

I highly recommend having close friends in different timezones. Great for having breakdowns. Or those unhinged thoughts at any time of day that really shouldn't see the light of day (aka the internet) but you neeeeed to get out of your brain.

I just did a screening for a job that's basically 2 jobs rolled into one at the director level and 2021 Berrak screamed at me to remind me I did that once and it broke me. So anyway, someone, hire me to do some writing or data entry or something. Or buy my photos.

Nothing wakes me up from deep sleep like my cat dry heaving. Except in Istanbul, sometimes it's a street cat outside my window and my cat is looking at me like I'm crazy when I'm calling her name as I jump out of bed in the middle of the night.

Reminder to everyone that BuyNothing is no longer just tied to FB and it's an app on its own. It's a great opportunity to find new homes for things you don't use and/or find items for yourself without having to purchase anything new.

"Don't make me come back here, just finish the cycle" - actual words I just said out loud to my washing machine. Doing great over here, y'all.

Farrah hasn't played with a hair tie since I brought her to Istanbul and I caught her playing with one earlier but I couldn't get it on video. When she does little things like that, it makes me so happy after all the trauma she's been through the last 2 years.

Picture this: You're at a chateau in France at a camp with 40+ women on and on the second day, you bond with the two who noticed the baby with abs in one of the many paintings around the chateau. I always draw the weird out and I love it. Though I'm still convinced this is not an actual toddler.

Serious question about mutual aid: Are people more likely to give when it's a direct ask for money versus someone asking if you could help by supporting something they're creating (Newsletter, photos, etc)? Really trying to understand the psychology of it. Because the need is the same.

Thinking about different ways to use my photos and exploring 2027 wall calendars. Would people be interested in a calendar with scenes from around Istanbul (not necessarily touristy spots)? Or I can go very niche with a calendar full of seagulls or street cats. Or the tulips from the Skagit Valley.

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.
