9Aby - Tatooine - Ten months prior to present

It was getting increasingly difficult to find work. 

Jobs were getting smaller and less complicated by the day. Some were bigger than others, but nothing compared to what you used to bring in. You've seen everything from small weapons repair, to minor speeder bike maintenance. But for the most part, they were small and low compensating jobs. 

You found it hard to afford the essentials anymore. Food, water, toiletries–any base comfort to life. You hadn't had a home cooked meal in months . You ate what you could find or pawn off any wealthy vendor along the streets. 

Luckily, you owned your own shop. You were infinitely grateful for that. It meant you had a place to sleep; a roof over your head. Most importantly, a door to close and lock at the end of the night. To keep the thieves and possibly more , out. 

Mos Eisley had been attracting people from all over in recent years. You heard of a spice trade running rampant nearby from people in the village, but you always tried to ignore the banter. It was never good to involve yourself with those kinds of things. You made it a personal goal to stay pretty introverted. It was best for you, and everyone around you to not get involved in trivial things like gossip and politics. 

It was testing, though. The drugs coming through town had taken a toll on your business. 

It makes it hard for you to bring in any credits. Very hard. The criminals were starting to take over, driving all of the families with children out. Not only was it becoming difficult for you to earn any credits, it was making it difficult for you to earn clean credits. 

For the longest time, your customer base were family men with speeders, regular weapons used for recreation and such. They were clean, good credits. You could take pride in helping the people of this town. You were contributing to happy and healthy lifestyles. It was relatively wholesome.

It’s not like that anymore.

Outsiders would come in looking for repairs on their weapons, only for you to find out the particular weapons they had in their possessions were registered as stolen. Ninety nine percent of the time, that meant they were previously owned by Imperials and were now being used in some type of crime syndicate. At first, you would turn them away. Even if it meant getting cursed at or losing business. You had options back then. But when more of them started rolling into town, driving the city folk away, you had no choice but to start taking their business. It was survival, at this point. 

You laid awake at night, wondering–thinking of ways you could turn everything around. It always came to the same conclusion. You were a defenseless woman, operating a male dominated trade, in a town that was now overrun by criminals. 

And you were alone. 

You didn't have any family. Or even friends, for that matter. You kept to yourself all these years, solitude being your closest friend. 

You did have an acquaintance that worked out of a hangar bay in the spaceport. Peli Motto. She was just that though. An acquaintance . Not a friend. There was something about her that irked you. Maybe it was the righteous part of you that wanted to be pure and good–because she was somewhat of a scammer. But her methods had her eating well every night. She was always at the bar, drinking and having fun. Gambling, all of it. You hated to admit it, but you often found yourself jealous of her. 

Not just the scheming way of lining her pockets, but also her mechanical talents. She was definitely gifted in her trade, and she had loyal customers from all over. All of which could be possible clients of yours, but would never set foot in your shop because of her. Sometimes you thought she tried to spoil your name so everyone would come to her–a rotten way to get rotten business. 

Day by day, you watched ship after ship land and leave her hangar. It angered you. Stars , it really pissed you off. 

That is, until one day, she actually sends someone right to you.

It was incredibly muggy that day, you remember. Your hair stayed damp, sticking to your cheeks and neck. Your clothes clung to your body uncomfortably. Sweat rolled down your skin constantly all day. At some point, you wished you could walk around butt-ass-naked . Anything to escape the heat at this point. You wanted to rip your shirt and pants off to cool down. Even for a little while. 

You sat atop an old project speeder bike in the corner of your shop. Some sunshine was able to come through missing pieces in the makeshift metal roof. Part of your shop was a building with one wall knocked down. You kept your personal belongings there. The other half of your shop was relatively open space. The roof was held together by pieces of metal you had found here and there. Most of it was rusted, and broken. Hence the big ray of sunshine that's beaming down on you right now. The floor on the open side of your shop was nonexistent. It was the raw, sandy ground. The floor leading into the closed part of your shop was tile you had laid down a while back. Something to walk on other than the sandy floor. 

You tried covering up the brick walls of your shop with old blankets to give it a more 'homey' feel. You thought it may make your customers feel more at ease when they were around. When you had customers.

The speeder was a side project of yours that was slowly becoming your only project. You had always dreamt of owning a speeder for recreation. So, you bought a scrap, hollow shell of one a few years back to work on and restore for yourself. Sadly though, it was now becoming your survival project. You needed to sell it to feed yourself. 

Red hued safety glasses shield your eyes from hot sparks that fly up from the soldering iron in your hands. Your fingers glide delicately over the sensitive wires in the ignition chamber of the speeder's engine bay. You’re sitting on the warm leather seat; the top half of your body hunched over in what you can only refer to as a “gremlin looking” position. It should hurt your back, but you were used to it by now. The long term effects lost on you for the time being. The only thing on your mind was getting this machine running so you could sell it and fill your cooling chamber. 

Sweat glistens your face, neck and exposed chest as the hot Tatooine suns beam down on you. You have a bottle of water next to you on the ground in case you start to get nauseated. Which happens more frequently than not on this maker forsaken planet. 

You reach up to wipe some of the sweat off your forehead with your arm. The heat from the surrounding areas combined with what radiated off the molten wires in front of you was taking a toll on your physical state. Maybe not the best day to do this. One of the hottest reported days in the planet’s history. 

You sigh through chapped lips, deciding against starting the next bundle of wires. You lean down, gripping the water bottle with what little strength you had left to bring it up to your lips. You chug, sucking down the entire sixteen ounce bottle in one thirsty gulp. Despite the painfully hot air surrounding you, your water managed to stay relatively cool in the shade of your bike. The liquid runs cool down your throat; coating it in sweet relief for a few moments before you feel it hit the inside of your belly. 

You sigh again, sitting up straight on the bike’s seat. You let your head fall back on your shoulders and you close your eyes, resting them for a few moments. Your arms fall limp to your sides, your thighs straddling each side of the hot speeder. The sun beams down on your skin and you can feel the burn starting up again. The red safety glasses also help to shield your eyes from the sun. 

Your shop is far enough outside of the main streets that you don’t get all of the city noise, thankfully. Most days, you can sit here and just listen to the quiet noises of the sand and wind. It was relaxing sometimes, and deafening the other times. 

So, you sat there for a few minutes. Head back, posture relaxed. Just enjoying the silence for a while. 

After a few more minutes, you heard the distinct sound of the main shop door opening. The door was large and made of very flimsy durasteel. The sound of that loud wobbling paired with durasteel scraping on the sand surface was something you didn’t hear very often anymore. This was all followed by heavy footsteps; leather boots clumping lazily over the ground. A large man crested around the corner, looking down at you sitting on your bike. 

You glance over at him. He appears human, his whole body brandished with expensive looking weapons. He had short cut hair, blonde in color. His eyes were blue. His skin was pale and freckled. He wore a black leather jacket on top of a black tank top. Both were dirty, and he didn’t seem to care. 

A grin spread across his face and chills immediately shot down your spine. Your back stiffened as the large man began sauntering in your direction before he came to a halt in front of you. His thumbs hook in the pockets of his pants on either side. 

He nods arrogantly before finally speaking to you. 

“They told me a pretty little lady ran this shop. I dn’t believe em.” His accent is unfamiliar to you, his words almost slurring together. Or is he drunk? 

He licks his lips once and smiles down at you. His teeth are dirty and unkempt. 

You cough and shift away from him, swinging your leg over the other side of the speeder. You take a couple steps back from him, but not too many. As to not set any red flags off in the man's head. Your hand reaches up to push the red glasses onto the top of your head. You squint when the sun hits your sensitive hues. After pushing your glasses up, your hands slide back down to your waist and lock onto your hips. 

Usually with these types of guys, you choose a more aggressive approach. You would immediately tell them to get lost, or chase them out. But, something is different about this one. He seems…off. Unhinged, maybe? Something about his demeanor screams at you. You’re uneasy. 

You’re playing it safe this time. Just…see what he has to say. 

“Guess I’m that lady,” You say sweetly, a very fake smile cresting your cheeks. You pretend to be busy, shifting around to pick up some useless spare parts hanging around. “How can I help you?” 

His breathing is a little heavy, you notice. And that scares you. That hints at something unstable within him. 

He takes his hands from his pockets and flattens his palms on the fabric, rubbing them up and down to dry them of the sweat he’s exuding on this hot day. He grins again and shifts to follow you when you opt to start walking into the shaded part of your shop. 

“Need a piece of equipment fixed.” He says plainly, directly behind you. 

There’s a tall, bar-like table to the left of your shaded space. Behind the bar-esque table is storage for your customers' weapons. You walk behind the bar, and he follows around to face you from the other side. Thank the maker. Breathing room. 

“What kind of equipment?” You ask innocently. 

The man reaches behind him and pulls a large rifle from his back. He drops it down on the counter in front of you. 

You grab it softly, pulling it closer. Your fingers wrap around each end to bring it up for a better view. A knot is tightening in your gut. As you thought; an illegal weapon. Again. This one in particular is especially heinous. 

A T7 Ion Disruptor. A rifle banned by the New Republic. 

You clear your throat, slowly setting the weapon back down on the table in front of you. You glance up at the man through your lashes. He’s still grinning at you, shifting weirdly on his feet. Back and forth. 

“I’m sorry. I can’t work on this.” You say, slowly pushing the rifle back towards the man. 

You know there’s trouble when he stops shifting from side to side, and his grin slowly fades. He huffs, slapping his hands back down onto the weapon and pushing it back to your side of the counter. 

“I’ll pay ya, No questions asked.” He says, his blood shot eyes boring into your face. 

Your heart is starting to race, goosebumps covering the skin of your arms as the situation slowly starts to escalate. You’ve seen this desperate type of behavior before. Especially here. Especially now. The spice coming into town has corrupted many people here. The crime syndicates were always looking for better weapons. But they would only buy if the weapons were in working condition. Addicts would find these illegal rifles and bring them to you, desperate to have them fixed so they could go sell them to the syndicates. All to get their next week's fix of drugs. You feel for these people, you really do. This is a way of life for them. This is how they survive. You wish you could help, but you can’t put yourself under the radar of any crime syndicate. 

“--’m sorry. I can’t. This rifle is banned by the New Republic.” You say softly, pushing the rifle back towards the man. 

His breathing has increased; it’s loud and almost rabid now. He’s sweating and twitching. He stands there for a moment, staring at you. And without any notice, he violently slams both hands down on the table and shoves the rifle at you. It hits your lower stomach. Your heart drops into your belly. 

“I don’t care if it’s fuckin’ banned by the New Republic. I need it fixed–” He says, leaning over the counter. His hot breath is fanning your face as he grunts. “ Now .” 

He’s huffing heavily through his nostrils. Sweat is dripping down his cheeks and dropping on the weapon below him. His fingers are twitching on the wood countertop, and his eyes are wide. They’re bulging out of his head, red and bloodshot. The skin around his eyes is dark and almost hollow. 

You let a soft, shaky breath escape your lips as you struggle to find the courage or words to confront him. And he doesn’t move, doesn’t give you a chance to respond. He just…waits. 

You’ve experienced men like him before, but never this violent. Most men that came in here were trying to get a rise out of you. Always something to say. They always thought they could take advantage of you; overpower you. But you pride yourself on your courage and cunning. You never let them get to you. 

This was different, though. This man is explosively violent and unstable. 

He’s desperate . That scares you the most. 

You struggle to find words as fear settles into your skin. Your hands drop below the counter to a shelf underneath. He doesn’t notice, as he has his eyes fixed on yours. Your nimble fingers begin to wrap themselves around an emergency blaster you have hung under the counter.

Finally, as your fingers secure defense, you muster the courage to speak. 

“I can’t ,” You exhale slowly, finger tightening on the trigger of the blaster. 

The man exhales hard, fingernails starting to scratch into the wood surface below his palms. He leans up slightly, letting his chest have room to inhale so he can speak. 

“ You little bitch ,” He starts, but he’s cut off. 

“Is there a problem here?” An unfamiliar voice rings in. It’s modulated, almost like it came from a droid. 

It startles the both of you. In unison, the two of you shoot your heads in the direction of where the voice came from. 

In the entrance of your shop stands another man, and your heart sinks even more. 

He’s tall and covered in armor. The armor is all different colors, worn and damaged from much use it seems. He also has weapons brandished all over his body. He has brown boots on, strapped with bombs of all kinds. He has a dark brown flight suit underneath. Every important part of his body is covered by the worn armor. 

When you get to his head, you immediately recognize what he is. 

A Mandalorian. A distinct helmet. 

He stands tall and confident. He has broad shoulders, and large arms. 

Your fingers are still locked on the trigger of your blaster as you struggle to tear your eyes from the Mandalorian standing in your doorway. 

The man in front of you grunts and shifts to stand up to his full height. He shuffles before turning back to look at you. 

“I’m almost done with her,” he starts, before shooting around the left side of the counter at you. As he’s coming around, he’s speaking. “ You can have her when I’m done .” He growls out, sweaty and vicious hands grabbing for you as he breeches the left side of the counter. He’s moving so fast it’s hard for you to process. You don’t fully register what’s going on, not really. All you can see is his large, looming figure coming at you at lightspeed. All you can hear are the quick shuffling of his feet and he charges you. 

Instinctually, you bring the blaster out from under the counter and point it towards him as he charges you. 

But as soon as you brought the blaster out, the man was shot down. A red beam of plasma blasts past and so close to your head the wind gust from it causes your hair to fly up and over your head. 

Not a sound comes from the man as he falls to the ground. He thuds loudly, loose limbs hitting the ground after his back. You’re still holding the blaster up in defense, almost like you’re stuck there. Your heart is racing out of your chest and your breathing is slightly elevated. It takes you a few seconds to fully register what just happened. You finally let your arms drop slowly. 

You look down at the blaster in your hands, watching your trembling fingers grip the cold durasteel. Your skin is white from gripping the weapon so hard. Your head is dropped, preoccupied, as the Mandalorian slowly approaches the counter. 

“Are you alright?” The man asks softly. 

It startles you out of your stupor and you look up, seeing the Mandalorians’ hulking figure standing in front of you. He’s even bigger when he’s up close. 

You softly set the blaster back in its place under the counter and look up at the Mandalorian. 

“Yeah...” You mutter softly, confusion evident in your tone. You look down at the dead man on your floor. “ Maker. ..why would he just…?” 

“Exactly why you think.” The Mandalorian speaks. His voice is deep and weathered through the vocoder. 

You glance up at him, eyes searching the T-visor of his Beskar helmet. 

“Apologies. I heard the whole thing.” He says. 

You look from the Mandalorian in front of you, back to the body on your floor once again. You stare at it as you speak. 

“Another victim of spice addiction.” You say softly, your tone caressed by a tinge of sadness.

The Mandalorian silently nods his head, his hands coming down to grip the buckle on his belt. 

After a few moments, you can hear him shift, grabbing ahold of the Ion Disruptor on the counter. You turn to look back at him and watch as he examines the weapon with diligence. His helmet tilts with the weapon, and his gloved fingers glide delicately over the durasteel. 

“Could I take this off your hands?” he asks after a few moments of examining the weapon. 

“ Please take it.” You say, a soft smile on your cheeks. 

His helmet turns to look over you for a few seconds, like he’s examining you now. 

“How much?” He asks. 

“It’s yours. No charge.” You say, letting your hands rest on the counter. Your blood is starting to cool, and you’re not trembling anymore. 

He looks down at you again and nods, throwing the heavy weapon behind him to sit with some of his others.  “Thank you.” 

You can’t help the cheeky smile that crosses your face. Your cheeks start to burn. You shift to cross your arms over your chest. “Any particular reason you ventured into my shop, Mandalorian?” 

He nods. “I could use your help repairing something.” He says, reaching into a bag on his side. He pulls out a hyperdrive ignition key and gently sets it on the table. He shifts his hips to lean on the other side. “Peli Motto told me you’re good with old ships.” 

“Peli Motto? She sent you to me ?” You ask, astonished at the man's words as you lean down to get a better look at the hyperdrive part. 

“Not a friend of yours?” He asks, watching you examine the part. 

You huff. “Not exactly.” You say nonchalantly, sliding your fingers over the delicate part. “She couldn’t help you?” 

“No. She said you’re pretty well versed with electrical failures. On older ships.” 

You glance up at him for a moment and chuckle. “Interesting.” 

“Don’t usually get referrals from her, I take it?” 

“Never. She’s the reason I never have business, if I’m honest.” You say softly, leaning back up and putting your hands on your hips.

He cocks his head to the side gently and watches you. 

His gaze is deep, and silent, as he watches you. You find yourself fidgeting with the hem on your hips. 

“I..uh, can fix this. Easy. Shouldn’t take me more than an hour.” 

He nods, and you take that as your que to get to work. 

It takes you forty three minutes, actually. One of the quickest jobs you've had in a while. It was a relatively easy fix. The Mandalorian stood and watched you the entire time, intrigued by your knowledge of the machinery. 

"Razor Crest, right?" You ask.

"Yes. How can you tell?" 

"This hyperdrive ignition design was used on most pre-imperial ships. But, this one has a significant trait that ties it to the Razor Crest, and the Razor Crest alone ," you say, using a finger to draw him in close by pointing down at the part. 

"This is air cooled. See the little chamber here?" You ask, pointing to a small, empty glass chamber in the middle of the device. "Like any other part on a ship, this can get hot. So it's got a pocket of air that feeds directly into the ignition pump, that sends fuel to the thrusters."

He watches you. 

"The Razor Crest was the first and last ship ever to have a glass chamber for the hyperdrive ignitions. Afterwards, they were all Durasteel chambers. Easier, cheaper. The glass chambers had so many issues with cracking and leaks, that they immediately discontinued the design. And went for something more durable."

He watches as you slowly pull out the glass chamber and set it aside. 

"We'll replace the glass with some durasteel, and you'll be all good to go." You say with a soft smile. 

The Mandalorian stands over you, continuing to watch in silence as you make a small durasteel chamber by hand, and fit it to the hyperdrive ignition. 

"You're very knowledgeable." He speaks, his voice low and scratchy. 

You glance up at his visor for a moment and shoot him a quick smile before looking back down at your work.

"I'd hope so, otherwise I'm in the wrong profession." 

A loud click indicates that the durasteel piece is back in place. You gently slide it towards him once you do your final examination. 

"You're all set." You say with a smile, hands resting on the counter in front of you. 

It's dark out now. A small bit of moonlight shining in through the holes in your makeshift roof. Fairy lights and small cantina lamps light the space around you, painting everything in a soothing orange hue. 

The Mandalorian gently grabs the part from your counter and slips it into his satchel. 

"What do I owe you?" He asks. 

You think about it for a moment; hard. And then you glance over at the lifeless body of the attacker on your floor. 

"Nothing." You say, still staring at the body. 

He pauses, seemingly confused. "I don't understand." 

"No charge today.” You say, looking back up at him and nodding towards the body–hinting.

He takes a deep breath in, this chest rising steadily as he shifts on his feet again.

You offer him another warm smile. “A token of my gratitude.”

His chest falls after a few moments and his helmet turns to look around your shop. He hadn’t had time to until now.

"Your kindness will not be forgotten." He speaks gently. 

You smile. "Nor will yours, Mandalorian. Safe travels." 

He stands there for a few moments longer than you anticipated, almost like he's thinking. Then he nods and turns to slowly make his way out of your shop. 

You thought that would be the last time you saw him. You were wrong.

It was probably a month later when he came back. 

It was another hot day. You chose to take the day off, this time. You sat in your bedroom which was closed off from the rest of the building by a large blanket hanging in the doorway. Your room looked like every other building on Tatooine. The walls were crafted of sandy colored pourstone, rounding at the top. A large window on the left lets in plenty of natural sunlight to illuminate the room. There’s just enough space for your bed. You keep a small, single person table and chair directly under the window, where you sit and eat your breakfast every morning. 

You’re sitting under the window drinking some caf when you hear the door to your shop open. You stop what you’re doing and listen to see if the person approaches your counter. Heavy footsteps lead directly to the enclosed part of your shop. Quickly, you set your cup of caf down and shuffle to meet the customer out in the open area. 

When you shove the blanket out of your way, you’re surprised to see the same Mandalorian from a month earlier standing in your workshop. His appearance is different though. Before, he only had the Beskar helmet. The rest of his armor was pretty old and worn. But today, he appears to you in nothing but pure Beskar armor. From head to toe. He looks clean, and well put together. Shiny.

You rub your hands together and smile softly as you approach him. His helmet follows you as you walk over on the other side of the counter. 

“I didn’t think I’d see you here again.” You say softly. 

The Mandalorian nods, his hands looped in the buckle of his belt like the last time you saw him.

"What brings you back, Mando?” You ask. The nickname slips, but it suits him. 

“Are you looking for work?” He says, his voice smooth through the vocoder. 

You tilt your head to the side a little, slightly confused. “Pardon?” 

“I could use your help,” He starts, his hands coming up to rest on the counter top. “...maintaining my ship and…” he starts, but trails off and he reaches behind himself to shift his shoulder bag to the front. When he does, he lifts the cover to reveal something extraordinary to you. “..with this.” 

He reveals a small, green baby. It’s wrinkled, and has pointed ears. Big brown eyes look up at you in wonder as your mouth gapes. It coos softly, tilting its head to one side as it observes you. 

“ Stars ….what the hell is that?” You stutter over your words as you lean down to gently pull the baby from the satchel. It coos again, happily, as you pick it up. 

“I've been bequested to bring him back to his kind.” Says the Mandalorian. 

“H-how did this happen?” You ask, eyes focused on the little green baby in front of you as his claws grip your hands on either side. 

“It’s a long story,” He starts, watching you observe the baby carefully. “I can’t watch him and I need to continue hunting to fund this quest,” He says softly.

You glance up at him for a moment. “And you…came to me? Why?” 

“He needs supervision, I can’t leave him alone.” He swiftly bounces around the why part of your question.

You look from him, back down at the baby. The baby watches you with wide, curious brown hues. His mouth gapes open so show small, jagged teeth underneath. One of his hands comes up to touch your chin softly. 

There's an odd feeling that comes over you when he makes those little noises. The way he seems to smile, and immediately warm up to you. 

“I can pay you handsomely.” The Mandalorian speaks after a few minutes of silence. 

You glance back up at Mando through your lashes, he’s closer now than he was before. You’re slowly cuddling the green child into your chest as he seems to settle right into your warmth. One arm is under his bottom, and the other is behind his back to hold him firm against you. 

You start to say something, but no words come out. A breath of air sneaks through as you lock onto his T-visor. 

You shake your head, looking back down at the child. “M-my shop? How will…? I can’t just leave..?” You mumble out. 

“Peli agreed to look over it,” Mando says. 

You look back up at him once again, softly rubbing your hand over the baby’s back. 

“Peli ? Now I'm confused.” 

“She proposed using it for storage.” 

You click your tongue, looking down at the child as he lays comfortably against your chest. “Of course she did.” 

“You’ll have plenty to keep you busy aside from the child. My ship is old,” He says, his tone softening. A gentle approach. “...it always needs work.” 

You look up at Mando for what feels like the hundredth time. He stands tall over you, his broad shoulders blocking the sunlight behind him. His posture is serious; stern. This is important to him. You find your eyes needlessly searching for him under the T-visor, though you know you’d never find him. 

“Okay…” You speak softly, just under your breath. Almost like you didn’t mean to say it. 

“Yeah?” He asks, his shoulders slouching a bit; relaxing. 

“Yeah, okay.” You say again, this time it was louder. Like you were reaffirming it. Like you needed to hear your own voice to register you had just agreed. The baby in your arms coos softly in your warmth. 

The Mandalorian nods, clearing his throat softly. “Thank you.” 

Though he wouldn’t admit it, he was nervous. You tell by the softness in his tone; a stark difference from what you had heard before. He was out of his comfort zone here, dealing with a child. You understood why he came to you now. He was familiar with you, and trusted you wouldn’t turn him down. He just needs help and guidance in this uncertain time for him. 

“I’ll go grab a bag.” You say softly, looking down at the baby in your arms. 

As you walk through the blanket that covers your private quarters, Mando can hear you whispering to the child in your arms. “ Wanna come with me, sweet boy? ” Your tone is soft and motherly, unlike what he had heard when you were dealing with that spice addict a month ago. 

When he saw the look in your eyes at the sight of the child, he knew he had made the right decision coming to you.

Warning: This is going to ramble.

I absolutely love how much you can infer about a social order by the background “context” in its media. I’ve seen a lot of old “social guidance” and assorted industrial and sales training films in my time (thanks almost entirely to my 30+ year obsession with MST3K, I admit). At some point I started watching out for things that seemed unusual to me but which were presented as utterly unremarkable, but not such things that we are already accustomed to from the past like various prejudices and bigotries.

I’ve noticed an unmarried man in his 30′s or 40′s still living with his parents presented as nothing more than the setting for a sales manager to get advice from his retired sales manager father. I’ve noticed a grandfather, still living on the farm he’s handed over to his adult son, guiding the kids in “quality of life” activities there while their father and oldest brother are busy with the “sustainment” chores*. I’ve noticed very recent changes to the way families are expected to be structured in order to serve a capitalist social order.

I’ve mentioned it before, and I’m not likely to ever shut up about it, but the “nuclear family” is an absurd anomaly that was cultivated to increase sales of consumer goods. The fragmentation of the family into smaller entities was not the historical norm even in the places where it’s most widely endured today. Until less than a century ago multi-generational homes were typical, commonly consisting of the grandparent(s) and the family of one of their adult children. This customary arrangement arose from the agrarian origins of modern life. As I’ve mentioned before, the nuclear family was an unsustainable model before industrialization. (Personally, I think we’re seeing it proven unsustainable even now.)

In the post-WWII USA its promotion was, I believe, a campaign by capitalists to capture post-war “prosperity” by eliminating the sharing of many common household resources and coercing their purchase instead. When three generations lived under the same roof they only needed one set of household tools, for example. (I’ve also seen short films extolling the value of knowing how to do your own home and auto repairs, rather than paying someone else for them.)

A multi-generation home only needed one set of appliances, as well, and so on. Move the kids out into their own homes, though, and they’re going to buy their own tools, too. Co-housing, even with “found family,” means buying fewer durable consumer goods. The nuclear family model is meant to serve capital. (Sharing those things is still possible, obviously, but we humans seek convenience like we seek salt, fats, and sugars.)

The conditions that made this shattered form of family possible could almost certainly only have arisen in the wake of something as catastrophic as the Second World War. The post-war prosperity of a sufficient number of people in the USA to create those conditions was only the result of the USA having the only undamaged industrial capacity productive enough to sustain it. To put it plainly, when everyone else needed to rebuild their bombed out countries the USA were the only ones left who could sell them enough bricks.

As the rest of the world recovered from the war the advantage that the USA had enjoyed from their devastation steadily dwindled. The social conditioning, however, did not. Most of the USA’s populace was led to believe that economic policies were the primary driver of that advantage. Abandoning that comforting fantasy, which tells us that such “prosperity” can be turned on and off just by winning enough elections, is critical. Recognizing that it is only made possible by the immeasurable suffering of all forms of Earthling may be the only thing that will drive us to keep our habitat inhabitable.

TL;DR We need to share more, buy less, and foster the social arrangements that make those easier.

Roof Inspections for San Antonio Commercial Buildings: Protect Your Investment with Bondoc Roofing

As a business owner or property manager in San Antonio, the condition of your commercial building’s roof is one of the most critical aspects of maintaining the safety, efficiency, and value of your property. Whether you own a retail store, office building, warehouse, or multi-family complex, a well-maintained roof is essential to protecting your investment. Regular roof inspections are the best way to ensure that your roof is functioning properly and that potential issues are addressed before they turn into costly problems.

At Bondoc Roofing, we specialize in providing comprehensive roof inspections for commercial buildings throughout San Antonio. With years of experience in the industry and a deep understanding of local weather conditions, we are committed to delivering reliable, professional roof inspections tailored to your specific needs. In this article, we’ll discuss why regular roof inspections are crucial for San Antonio commercial buildings and how our expert team can help you safeguard your property.

Why Roof Inspections Are Crucial for Commercial Buildings

Roofs on commercial buildings face unique challenges. From large flat roofs to sloped metal or shingle roofs, commercial properties require a different level of attention than residential buildings. Here’s why regular roof inspections are essential for San Antonio commercial buildings:

1. Preventing Costly Repairs and Downtime

A small issue, such as a minor leak or a damaged shingle, can escalate into significant damage over time, resulting in costly repairs or even a full roof replacement. In commercial buildings, roof damage can also disrupt business operations, causing downtime and loss of revenue.

By scheduling regular roof inspections, you can catch these small issues early, preventing larger, more expensive problems down the line. Whether it’s fixing a small leak, replacing a few shingles, or sealing a minor crack in the membrane, our inspections allow you to take preventive measures that save you money and avoid disruptions to your business.

2. Extending the Life of Your Roof

The roof of your commercial building is a significant investment. Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend the lifespan of your roof by identifying potential problems and addressing them before they cause serious damage.

Our team at Bondoc Roofing will not only inspect the roof’s surface for visible signs of damage but will also assess the integrity of its underlying layers and materials. By identifying and repairing minor issues before they cause major damage, you can ensure that your roof serves its full lifespan, saving you money in the long run.

3. Ensuring Compliance with Local Building Codes

San Antonio has specific building codes that must be followed to ensure the safety and integrity of commercial structures. These codes often cover important aspects of roofing, such as wind resistance, drainage, and material specifications.

A roof inspection by Bondoc Roofing includes a comprehensive assessment of your roof’s compliance with local building codes. We ensure that your roof meets these regulations and help you avoid fines or penalties that could arise from non-compliance. Our team stays up-to-date with the latest building codes and can advise you on any necessary repairs or upgrades.

4. Protecting the Interior of Your Building

A well-maintained roof is crucial for protecting the interior of your commercial building. Leaks or roof damage can lead to water infiltration, which can cause damage to ceilings, walls, flooring, and inventory. Water damage is expensive to repair and can also create health risks due to mold and mildew growth.

Regular roof inspections help identify areas where water could enter, allowing us to repair the issue before it causes significant damage. Keeping your roof in good condition ensures that your business operations are not interrupted and your building’s interior remains safe and dry.

What to Expect During a Commercial Roof Inspection

At Bondoc Roofing, we provide comprehensive roof inspections tailored specifically to the needs of commercial buildings. Here’s what you can expect when you schedule an inspection:

Exterior Inspection: We’ll begin by inspecting the exterior of your roof, including all roofing materials (shingles, metal panels, flat roof membranes, etc.) for signs of wear, damage, or degradation. We’ll look for any loose, cracked, or missing materials that could compromise the integrity of the roof.

Interior Inspection: We’ll also examine the interior of your building, particularly the attic or ceiling spaces, for signs of leaks, water stains, or mold. This helps us identify any hidden issues that may not be visible from the exterior.

Structural Assessment: We assess the structural integrity of your roof’s supporting framework, including trusses and beams, to ensure they are in good condition and can support the roof materials.

Drainage Evaluation: Proper drainage is essential for preventing water buildup on the roof, which can lead to leaks and structural issues. We will inspect gutters, downspouts, and drainage systems to ensure they are functioning properly.

Detailed Report and Recommendations: After the inspection, we provide a detailed report outlining our findings, including any damage or areas of concern. We will also provide recommendations for repairs, upgrades, or maintenance to keep your roof in optimal condition.

How Bondoc Roofing Can Help Your Commercial Property

At Bondoc Roofing, we specialize in offering reliable, professional roof inspections and maintenance for commercial properties. We understand that each commercial building has unique needs, and we tailor our inspections to fit your specific requirements. Here’s how we can help:

Comprehensive Inspections: We thoroughly inspect your roof, looking for any issues that could compromise its performance, lifespan, or safety.

Maintenance and Repairs: If we find any issues, our experienced team can provide the necessary repairs or recommend sustainable maintenance options to keep your roof in excellent condition.

Insurance and Compliance: We assist you in navigating insurance claims and ensuring your roof meets all local building codes and industry standards.

Emergency Services: If you experience sudden roof damage, we offer emergency roof inspections and repairs to minimize business disruptions.

Hidden Secrets Behind Seamless TV Reception: Why Toowoomba Residents Are Making the Switch

It started with a thunderstorm...

For Michael and his family in Toowoomba, Friday nights meant one thing: a cozy family movie marathon. But on this particular night, their screen went pixelated just as the climax of their favorite film was unfolding. Frustrated, Michael took to the roof the next morning, only to discover that his outdated TV antenna was to blame. This moment of frustration led to a discovery about how modern TV antenna installation in Toowoomba is transforming the way residents enjoy their favorite shows—rain or shine.

Why Toowoomba Needs Better TV Solutions

Did you know that nearly 75% of Australian households rely on free-to-air TV as a primary source of entertainment? (Source: Australian Communications and Media Authority). However, Toowoomba’s unique location—situated atop the Great Dividing Range—creates specific reception challenges due to varying terrains and weather conditions.

Many homeowners, like Michael, don’t realize that older antennas are often ill-equipped to handle the demands of digital broadcasting. Whether it’s pixelated screens or signal dropouts, these problems can be traced back to outdated equipment or improper installation.

The Game-Changing Tech Behind Modern TV Antennas

Today’s antennas are a far cry from the clunky models of the past. Innovations like multi-directional reception and signal amplifiers ensure crystal-clear picture quality even in challenging locations. Plus, with Toowoomba’s growing demand for HD and 4K broadcasting, investing in the right antenna is more important than ever.

But here’s the part that most websites won’t tell you:

Proper installation matters more than the brand of the antenna. According to experts, a poorly aligned antenna can reduce reception quality by up to 50%, even if it’s a top-tier model. That’s where professional antenna service in Toowoomba comes into play.

Beyond Installation: Comprehensive Antenna Services in Toowoomba

It’s not just about installation; regular maintenance and timely repairs are equally crucial. Studies show that 30% of TV antenna repair cases in Australia stem from environmental wear and tear, like rusted components or bird interference. A proactive approach, including periodic checks by certified technicians, can extend the life of your antenna system by several years.

Companies offering antenna repair Toowoomba service also highlight another often-overlooked issue: interference from nearby 4G/5G towers. Modern antenna solutions come with filters that block such interference, ensuring uninterrupted viewing.

How to Choose the Right Antenna Professional

Finding the right TV antenna installation Toowoomba service can feel overwhelming with so many options available. Here’s what to look for:

Experience with local conditions: Ensure the provider understands Toowoomba’s specific reception challenges.

Comprehensive services: Look for companies that offer not just installation but also repairs and upgrades.

Transparent pricing: Avoid hidden fees by choosing a service that provides clear quotes upfront.

The Cost of Waiting

Michael’s family finally decided to upgrade their antenna system after weeks of frustration. The result? Crystal-clear reception and a renewed appreciation for their movie nights.

For Toowoomba residents, putting off necessary upgrades can mean missing out on local events broadcasted live or enduring subpar picture quality. Considering that a professional installation typically costs less than a streaming subscription over a year, the decision becomes a no-brainer.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re dealing with persistent reception issues or simply looking to future-proof your home entertainment setup, investing in TV antenna installation Toowoomba service is a smart move. With modern technology and expert guidance, you can say goodbye to pixelation and hello to uninterrupted viewing pleasure. So, why wait? Make the switch today and rediscover the joy of watching TV, the way it’s meant to be.

Get Your Roof Ready for the Texas Weather with Terzo Roofing

Texas weather is known for its extremes—sweltering summers, unpredictable storms, and occasional hail. These weather conditions can take a toll on your roof, whether you own a home, a business, or a multi-family building. Preparing your roof for the harsh Texas climate is essential for ensuring long-term durability, energy efficiency, and protection from potential damage. Terzo Roofing offers expert services that provide peace of mind to homeowners and property managers alike, especially with our specialized multi-family building roofing solutions.

The unique challenges posed by Texas weather demand that roofs be designed and maintained with care. From the scorching heat that can cause roofing materials to age prematurely to the high winds that can dislodge shingles, roofs in this region need to be resilient. If you own or manage a multi-family building, the stakes are even higher. The roof of a multi-family property not only needs to protect the structure but also safeguard the tenants' living conditions and the building's value. Terzo Roofing understands the specific needs of multi-family building roofing solutions and is dedicated to providing reliable services that ensure your roof stands up to whatever the Texas weather brings.

One of the most important aspects of preparing your roof for Texas weather is routine maintenance. It is easy to overlook roof inspections until a problem arises, but proactive measures can save you from expensive repairs down the road. Terzo Roofing specializes in identifying potential issues early, whether it's a minor leak, loose shingles, or the need for re-coating. By scheduling regular roof inspections, property managers can stay ahead of problems and ensure the roof is ready to withstand seasonal changes. Multi-family building roofing solutions are particularly vital, as neglected roofs can lead to leaks affecting multiple units, leading to more extensive damage and repairs.

Terzo Roofing also offers roof repairs and replacements tailored to the specific needs of multi-family buildings. With years of experience in the Texas market, our team understands the importance of choosing the right materials and techniques to ensure durability. Multi-family building roofing solutions often require materials that are not only sturdy but also energy-efficient. With rising energy costs, it’s essential to have a roof that helps regulate the temperature inside. Our team offers roofing materials designed to reflect heat, reduce cooling costs, and improve the overall energy efficiency of your building. This is especially important in Texas, where summer temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees.

In addition to regular maintenance, proper insulation and ventilation are key factors in preparing your roof for the Texas heat. Poor ventilation can lead to excessive heat buildup in the attic, causing the roof materials to degrade more quickly. This can be a significant concern for multi-family buildings, where multiple tenants could experience temperature fluctuations or increased energy bills. Terzo Roofing’s multi-family building roofing solutions include assessments of your roof's ventilation system, ensuring that your building remains cool and energy-efficient throughout the year.

When it comes to storm protection, multi-family building roofing solutions play an even more significant role. Texas is no stranger to severe weather, including tornadoes, heavy rains, and hailstorms. These conditions can cause significant damage to your roof if it is not properly maintained or reinforced. Terzo Roofing offers solutions designed to protect your building from storm damage. Whether it’s strengthening the roof structure to withstand high winds or applying storm-resistant coatings, our services are aimed at keeping your multi-family building safe during extreme weather events.

Moreover, Terzo Roofing takes pride in offering customized solutions for multi-family buildings, addressing both immediate and long-term needs. Whether you're looking to upgrade your roof with energy-efficient materials, require a full roof replacement, or simply need minor repairs, our team is committed to delivering the best results. Multi-family building roofing solutions are not one-size-fits-all, and Terzo Roofing works closely with clients to design a roofing plan that suits their specific property needs.

At Terzo Roofing, we believe in building lasting relationships with our clients by providing reliable, high-quality services. Preparing your roof for Texas weather doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With our expertise in multi-family building roofing solutions, we take the stress out of roofing maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. Whether you’re managing a residential building or a commercial property, we offer tailored solutions that will help protect your investment and ensure the safety of everyone inside.

Don’t wait for the next storm to hit or the next heatwave to cause problems. Contact Terzo Roofing today to get your roof ready for the Texas weather and ensure that your multi-family building is protected year-round.

For commercial property owners in Cambridge, MA, roof replacement is a crucial part of maintaining a building’s structural integrity and operational efficiency. Cambridge’s diverse architecture and climate require roofing systems that can handle various challenges, from extreme temperatures to heavy snowfall.

Property Management in Mesa, Arizona: A Comprehensive Overview

Introduction

Mesa, Arizona, a rapidly growing city located in the Phoenix metropolitan area, offers a vibrant real estate market with diverse property types ranging from single-family homes to commercial complexes. For property owners and real estate investors, property management mesa properties in this dynamic environment can be a complex task, requiring a professional and organized approach to ensure profitability and long-term asset protection.

Property management in Mesa involves overseeing the day-to-day operations of residential or commercial real estate, ensuring that properties are well-maintained, tenants are satisfied, and owners’ investments are protected and optimized. Here, we explore the key aspects of property management in Mesa and how local market dynamics influence management strategies.

Why Property Management is Critical in Mesa

Growing Population and Demand

As one of the largest cities in Arizona, Mesa continues to attract families, young professionals, and retirees. Its proximity to Phoenix, affordable housing, and quality of life make it an attractive destination for both renters and investors.

With the city’s growth comes increased demand for rental properties, making property management a valuable service for both small-scale investors and large property owners.

A property manager in Mesa must keep up with changing rental trends, tenant expectations, and property laws to maintain occupancy rates and rental income.

Diverse Property Types

Mesa offers a wide range of property types, including single-family homes, apartment complexes, condominiums, and commercial real estate. Each property type requires specialized management strategies. For instance, managing a single-family home in a suburban neighborhood differs significantly from managing a multi-unit apartment complex.

Property managers in Mesa must be versatile, understanding the nuances of managing different property types while ensuring they meet the city’s local regulations and codes.

Key Responsibilities of Property Management in Mesa

Tenant Management and Screening

With the growing population, tenant demand is high in Mesa, but so is the need for thorough tenant screening. Property managers are responsible for marketing properties, screening potential tenants, and managing lease agreements.

Ensuring that tenants meet the necessary credit and background requirements is crucial to minimizing risks such as late payments, property damage, or legal disputes.

Maintenance and Repairs

The hot, arid climate of Mesa can take a toll on properties, particularly on HVAC systems, plumbing, and landscaping. Property managers must ensure that properties are well-maintained to avoid costly repairs.

Regular inspections and preventative maintenance are essential in Mesa’s desert environment, where extreme temperatures and dry conditions can lead to unique challenges like roof damage, water system issues, and landscaping concerns.

Legal Compliance and Local Ordinances

Property managers in Mesa must be familiar with Arizona’s landlord-tenant laws, local housing codes, and city ordinances to ensure properties comply with regulations. This includes fair housing laws, safety standards, and eviction processes.

Failure to comply with Mesa’s local regulations can lead to fines, lawsuits, or even property seizures, so it is essential to have a knowledgeable property manager who stays up to date on legal requirements.

Rent Collection and Financial Reporting

Collecting rent and managing financial operations is a core responsibility of property management. Property managers in Mesa must ensure timely rent collection, enforce lease terms, and handle any issues related to late payments or non-compliance.

Property managers also provide detailed financial reporting to property owners, helping them understand the financial performance of their investments. This may include income and expense tracking, tax preparation, and cash flow analysis.

Marketing and Vacancy Management

One of the biggest challenges in property management is keeping vacancy rates low. In Mesa, where the real estate market is competitive, property managers must use effective marketing strategies to attract potential tenants.

This can include online marketing, open houses, and leveraging popular rental platforms like Zillow, Apartments.com, and Craigslist. Virtual tours have also become a popular tool in showcasing rental properties, especially in the post-pandemic era.

Challenges in Mesa Property Management

Seasonal Demand Fluctuations

The real estate market in Mesa can experience seasonal fluctuations, with higher demand in certain months and slower periods in others. Property managers need to be proactive in filling vacancies during slower periods and adjusting rental prices to reflect market conditions.

Weather and Climate-Related Issues

The extreme heat in Mesa can lead to high utility costs and the potential for HVAC system failures. Property managers must ensure that cooling systems are in top condition and that tenants are well-informed about energy-saving practices.

Monsoon season can also bring challenges such as water damage or the need for storm preparation. Property managers must plan ahead to protect properties from weather-related damages.

Competition in the Rental Market

Mesa is home to a growing rental market, and competition for tenants can be fierce. Property managers must find ways to make their properties stand out, whether by offering competitive rent prices, providing top-notch amenities, or ensuring excellent customer service.

The Role of Technology in Mesa Property Management

Technology plays a vital role in the modern property management landscape. In Mesa, property management companies and independent managers increasingly rely on digital tools to streamline operations.

Property Management Software

Software solutions like Buildium, AppFolio, and Propertyware are frequently used to manage properties in Mesa. These platforms allow for automated rent collection, maintenance requests, and tenant communications, reducing the time and effort required to manage properties effectively.

Online Marketing Tools

Online marketing tools and platforms have become essential for reaching potential tenants in Mesa’s growing market. Social media advertising, listing platforms, and even virtual tours are now common tools property managers use to minimize vacancies and attract high-quality tenants.

Tenant Portals

Tenant portals allow residents to easily communicate with property managers, submit maintenance requests, and pay rent online. This improves tenant satisfaction and helps ensure that any issues are addressed quickly and efficiently.

Conclusion

Property management in Mesa, Arizona, is a multifaceted profession that requires local knowledge, legal expertise, and a hands-on approach to managing real estate assets. With its growing population and diverse property types, the demand for effective property management services is high. For property owners, partnering with an experienced property manager can ensure their investment is well-maintained, profitable, and compliant with local laws.

As Mesa continues to grow, the role of property managers will become even more critical in ensuring the city’s real estate market remains dynamic, sustainable, and attractive to both tenants and investors.

Understanding TV Antennas for a Better Toowoomba Viewing Experience

Imagine you’ve just settled into your couch after a long day, remote in hand, ready to watch the latest episode of your favorite show. The anticipation builds, but as you press play, the screen blurs, the sound crackles, and that perfect picture you were hoping for is nowhere in sight. Frustration kicks in, and you’re left wishing you had a reliable setup. If you’re in Toowoomba and can relate, it’s probably time to rethink your TV antenna installation Toowoomba service.

In an age where streaming dominates the conversation, many underestimate the value of a good old-fashioned TV antenna. But the reality is, TV antennas can still deliver excellent picture quality, and for those in Toowoomba, they’re often the better choice for free, high-definition television. Let’s dive into what makes the right antenna crucial for Toowoomba residents, why it’s the smart choice over other options, and how you can ensure you get the best service from your antenna.

The Antenna Advantage in Toowoomba

Toowoomba’s geographical location presents unique challenges when it comes to TV reception. The city is perched on the edge of the Great Dividing Range, which can affect signal strength in certain areas. This is why a well-installed TV antenna can make a significant difference. Unlike streaming services that may buffer or pixelate depending on internet speed, a properly tuned TV antenna can provide uninterrupted, crystal-clear HD channels. A report from the Australian Communications and Media Authority reveals that 20% of Australians still rely on free-to-air TV, with many of them opting for antennas to avoid streaming costs .

Types of TV Antennas for Toowoomba

When it comes to TV Antenna Installation Toowoomba service, the choices are not as simple as grabbing the first option you find. Different antennas serve different needs based on where you live in the region:

Directional Antennas: Ideal if you're located in a specific area of Toowoomba and only need to focus on one signal tower. They tend to have stronger signal reception but need precise alignment.

Multi-Directional Antennas: Great for residents on the outer edges of the city who need to pick up signals from multiple broadcast towers.

Indoor Antennas: Typically for urban areas, but they may not be the best choice for all Toowoomba homes due to the distance from transmission towers.

Choosing the Right Service: TV Antenna Installation in Toowoomba

Getting your antenna installed by professionals who understand the layout and specific signal challenges in Toowoomba can save you a lot of headaches. TV Antenna repair Toowoomba services often report that one of the most common problems with poor reception is due to DIY installations that haven’t factored in local terrain or the best positioning for optimal signal.

A professional antenna service in Toowoomba can assess the direction of local towers, your home's location, and the type of roof or building materials that could block signals. This expert insight can prevent issues like picture ghosting or constant signal drops.

Why Antennas Still Matter in the Age of Streaming

With the rise of on-demand services, it’s easy to forget the benefits of traditional television. However, free-to-air channels still broadcast news, sports, and entertainment in full HD, and with no monthly subscription costs. This makes antennas a cost-effective choice, particularly for people who prefer watching local TV.

Did you know that Australia has one of the most expensive internet plans in the world? According to the International Telecommunication Union, Australians pay, on average, $58 for 50 Mbps internet . For families or individuals looking to save on monthly bills, cutting back on streaming services and using an antenna could lead to significant savings.

The Tech Behind TV Antennas: What Most Sites Don’t Tell You

One thing most websites overlook when discussing TV antennas is the importance of regular maintenance and repair. Weather conditions, particularly in a place like Toowoomba where storms can occasionally knock things about, can lead to wear and tear. Scheduling antenna repair services in Toowoomba after severe weather is crucial to maintaining signal quality. Additionally, opting for newer models with LTE filters ensures your antenna doesn’t pick up interference from mobile networks, another common issue not widely discussed.

Conclusion: Clearer TV, Smarter Choice

In Toowoomba, a TV antenna is more than just a backup for your Netflix subscription—it’s a reliable, cost-effective way to enjoy uninterrupted TV. Whether you're looking for a fresh antenna installation Toowoomba service or need help with TV antenna repair Toowoomba service, choosing the right service and equipment is key. Stop settling for fuzzy reception and start enjoying TV the way it was meant to be seen—clear, vibrant, and free of interruptions.

If your picture is fuzzy, it might just be time to rethink your antenna and make a clearer choice!
