Hi Fam. I just launched a fundraiser for my best friend Stephan, who has Stage 4 COPD but refuses to let it stop his creativity. He’s been turning his art into a community joy, but setup and teardown at markets are becoming too hard for him physically. To keep his dream alive, Stephan bought an RV to transform into CraftNCafe Goes Mobile — a colorful, moving craft shop full of personality and handmade goods. Right now, the RV needs a lot of work to become the vibrant store he envisions, and he’s trying to make it happen while on disability. Every donation, no matter the size, will help bring this dream to life and allow Stephan to continue creating and sharing joy without risking his health. Please consider donating or sharing with neighbors — your support means the world to him and keeps his creative spirit moving! 🌈 Sub to his channel ‪@Craftncafe‬

I realized I’ve never really talked much on YouTube about the small business side of my life outside of emergency management, the military, and all the chaos the internet tends to know me for.

For the last few years, I’ve quietly been building and running This Crafty Place — a small family business that started as a way to help support my family in Ukraine through handmade art, vintage finds, markets, and online sales.

What began as a side project slowly became something much more personal to me.

To be honest, there was a period where I almost lost it completely. Between online harassment, mass reporting campaigns, and a pretty intense wave of internet drama, the business took a serious hit. There were moments where I questioned whether it was even worth continuing.

But little by little, booth by booth, order by order, I kept rebuilding it.

And somewhere during that process, a new idea quietly started forming.

“BUИКЕЯ TEA”

Provided by This Crafty Place LLC

A strange little “civilian morale supplies” tea company inspired by preparedness culture, vintage civil defense aesthetics, resilience, and my Ukrainian heritage.

I’ve officially partnered with a wholesale tea company from Ukraine to help source authentic teas and herbal blends directly connected to the culture I grew up around. One of the reasons I chose to work with them is because they actively reinvest part of their efforts into supporting civilians who lost everything during the war and were unable to leave the country, along with displaced animal rescue organizations helping animals affected by the invasion.

So in a way, building this brand also allows me to support those efforts through the partnerships and sourcing choices behind it.

This is not just another tea brand to me.

It’s comfort.
It’s storytelling.
It’s resilience.
It’s rebuilding something after feeling like life tried to burn it down.

Right now this is still a soft launch while I finish inventory, packaging, and the online shop, but Bunker Tea will officially be available online soon.

Curated teas from my heritage, shared with everyone.

Until then:
Steep until morale improves.

People always asked me what my dream is.

Not a mansion.
Not climbing some corporate ladder until I forget who I am.
Not chasing “success” just to stay miserable in a nicer zip code.

This is my dream.

A van somewhere between the forest and the ocean.
Kayaks on the roof.
Dogs in the back.
Coffee in hand.
No constant noise. No pretending. No rushing.

Just freedom.
Movement.
Adventure.
Peace.

A life where I can wake up and decide which direction to drive instead of feeling trapped in one place forever.

Maybe a little chaos.
Maybe a lot of sunsets.
Probably muddy boots and too many roadside snacks.

But honestly? That sounds like a pretty good life to me. 🚐🌲🌊

Once upon a time, in the vast realm of pop culture, a curious and dark fascination emerged - the true crime community. Stories of human tragedy and heinous acts found their way into the hearts of millions, gripping them with an irresistible allure. However, as the community grew, so did the debates about its ethics and responsibilities.
In the bustling online world, true crime enthusiasts connected over their shared passion. Among them was Ryan Upchurch, a clickbait artist and country rapper with an enormous following on YouTube. His channel was a mix of entertainment and controversy, attracting millions of devoted fans who hung on to his every word.
As the true crime community flourished, Ryan saw an opportunity to delve into this captivating genre. He began creating commentary videos about various cases, but his approach was far from ethical. Instead of approaching the stories with reverence for the victims, he sought out sensational conspiracies and unfounded claims, weaving elaborate tales that only served to entertain his followers.
One fateful day, tragedy struck when news broke of the disappearance of Keily Rodni, a 16-year-old girl from Truckee, CA. The nation held its breath as the search for her stretched on for weeks. During this time, amateur detectives emerged online, posting wild theories and baseless accusations against those they suspected.
In the midst of this chaos, Ryan Upchurch seized the opportunity to exploit Keily's case for views and clicks. In his videos, he callously proclaimed that Keily was not real and that her disappearance was merely a ploy to make money. The grieving family was devastated to find their daughter's name used as a pawn in a heartless game of online sensationalism.
The consequences of Ryan's actions were dire. His followers, trusting his every word, began harassing Keily's family and anyone associated with the case. The internet became a battleground of hate and cruelty, all fueled by Ryan's dangerous claims. The true crime community was divided, with some defending him and others calling for an end to the vicious rumors.
But Keily's story was not the only one to suffer at Ryan's hands. He continued to spread hate speech and bullying towards other creators on the platform, crossing lines that should never have been crossed. The community watched in horror as he used his large following to hurt innocent people and perpetuate darkness.
As the turmoil escalated, a growing number of voices within the true crime community united against Ryan's actions. They demanded accountability and responsibility from content creators, advocating for an ethical approach to discussing real-life tragedies. The online world was divided - some fiercely defended Ryan's right to free speech, while others sought to put an end to his harmful influence.
The tale of Ryan Upchurch and the true crime community serves as a cautionary reminder of the power held by those with a massive following. In the pursuit of popularity and attention, the line between entertainment and reality can blur, causing real harm to real people. As the story continues to unfold, the question remains - will the community learn from this dark chapter and seek a more compassionate and responsible path, or will it succumb to the allure of sensationalism at the expense of innocent lives? Only time will tell.

In the end, it was revealed that Ryan Upchurch, the YouTube personality who heartlessly exploited Keily Rodni's case for sensationalism, found himself facing legal consequences. The family of Keily taking action and decided to sue him, seeking justice for their beloved daughter. The lawsuit is serving as a symbol of their refusal to let Keily's memory be tarnished by false claims and cruel intentions.
Update: 18mil that he owes to the family. Federal Grand Jury, found him guilty!!
