Bringing home Miguel Hernandez 1965
Joan found out she was expecting again very soon after the wedding. Despite Jeffrey's less than enthusiastic response to a new sibling, Joan and Estevan were excited to build a family together. Miguel Hernandez was born in 1965.

Mr. and Mrs. Estevan Hernandez 1964
Joan and Estevan dated for six months before he popped the question and she said yes. He was gone for work a few days at a time, but Joan didn't mind. He was down to earth, didn't ask much of her, and cared about Jeffrey. They had a small ceremony in Oasis Springs and held the reception at the community center.

Miss Copperdale Diner 1963
To keep food on the table and the lights on, Joan often worked dinner shifts at the local diner after all the kids were picked up from daycare. The owners were okay with Jeffrey sitting in one of the corner booths, quietly coloring or playing with a toy.
Customers were a mix of eclectic locals, tourists, and strangers passing through. One of those strangers was Estevan Hernandez, a trucker that came through Oasis Springs once or twice a month. He’d sit at the counter nursing a coffee until closing time, chatting with Joan.
A big thank you to @antiquatedplumbobs for the Miss Copperdale Diner lot!

Daycare at Joan's home 1961
With Jeffrey to take care of and no husband to bring home a paycheck, Joan started offering daycare at her home to the other moms in the neighborhood. It gave them the opportunity to work outside the home, as most people here were barely scraping by.

New home in Oasis Springs 1960
Once she was 18, Joan set out on her own with Jeffrey. Using her savings from her job, as well as a little help from her parents, she bought a one way bus ticket to Oasis Springs. No one would know her, there were certainly no hip Beatnik boys to fall for, and most importantly, it was cheap. Joan was able to afford a small trailer home.

58 Joan at work
Once her condition became more publicly known, Joan was expelled from school, despite her good grades. With a few months until her baby would be born, Joan took up a job at a local diner to build up her savings. Though her parents were supportive of her and would help her care for her baby, Joan didn't want to be a burden.

58 Joan & mom at home
They'd been dating for nearly a year when Joan discovered she was pregnant, despite she and Jake being careful. She told her parents first, who reassured her everything would be alright. When she told Jake, he clammed up and told her being a dad isn't his style, and made up an excuse to leave. Joan tried calling and writing him, but he never answered.

57 Young lovebirds
It wasn't long until Joan and Jake were going steady. They went out on dates as often as they could. Jake would take her to the art galleries and poetry readings, as well as the more mainstream teen spots.

56 Joan and Jake Feng
Being a teenager also meant Joan could stay up late for her parents' parties. It was at one of these parties she met Jake Feng. He was a year older than her and had run away to the city to escape his suburban life and meet real movers and shakers. He had dreams of changing the world through his art, and Joan was smitten.

55 Joan's high school days
Now a teenager, Joan was one of the hippest girls in school. Her parents gave her more freedom than any of her friends' parents did, giving her no curfew and letting her pick her own clothes. She'd wear jeans and skin-hugging pants to school and get sent home immediately to change into a skirt. Some parents thought Joan was a bad influence on their kids - the daughter of Bohemians, hipsters, beats - but it didn't faze Joan in the slightest.

Dont use curseforge anymore.
For downloading game mods: If it's Minecraft, use Modrinth instead, for any other games use gamebanana or nexusmods.
The original tweet appears to have been deleted. and im unable to find it on Archive.org, but the tweets are still indexed by google.

They're still openly raising money for Israel, though instead of the IDF in specific its just general "those affected by the Hamas attacks"
