I know it’s an ongoing, multi-dumpster fire out there, but this totally normal, not-at-all inflammatory email was sent out by the VA to veterans in the past week.
Screenshot of an email from the VA that reads: As you may be aware, funding for some government agencies, including portions of the Department of Veterans Affairs, expired at midnight this morning. President Trump opposes a lapse in appropriations, and on September 19, the House of Representatives passed, with the Trump Administration's support, a clean continuing resolution to fund the government through November 21. Unfortunately, Democrats are blocking this Continuing Resolution in the U.S. Senate due to unrelated policy demands. During the current lapse in funding, the vast majority of VA benefits and services will continue uninterrupted, but the government shutdown is not without consequences to VA. Here is what you need to know

So you agree? You think gun violence is bad.

Who wants to tell all the people posting t&p that CK hated empathy, actually? Fun double bind for his fans, no?
Screenshot of fact checking that Charlie Kirk said, "I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage."

A headline from Australian satirical or at least snarky news outlet The Betoota Advocate: Democrats Shocked by Success of Left-Wing Candidate Offering Left-Wing Policies to Left-Wing Voters A snapshot from the Betoota Advocate with tongue in cheek tone talking about Mamdani’s success from not following the Dem party line and actually offering left wing policies, which appears well received by working class voters who don’t feel “well looked after by the late-stage capitalism and relentless social cleansing that is ravaging the streets of New York”

On a long overdue nice day in New England, took a walk around Walden Pond and it was so nice?! So peaceful?! I know Thoreau famously went on about it, but my expectations were still exceeded lol

Snapshot of article about his close to 50% of dementia cases could be prevented or rejected with modifiable risk factors.

Sometimes this song is (pleasantly) stuck in my head & my brain takes “out in the cold” and “on little light” & instead sings to itself:

“Forgive my Northern Attitude
Oh I was raised on little hope”

We got to take a fall drive, foliage right up to the sea, a beach walk, then fall farm goodness (apple cider everything) within 10 minutes of the shoreline. That ticks a lot of boxes for me
Beach with mild waves coming in, people in jackets walking dogs on the sand, another beach with fall foliage trees visible across the water Fall foliage on a sandy path through the brush Orange autumn leaves on a tree and the ground by a brown barn like building & still pond Farm fall goodness - pumpkins, yellow and cranberry red mums

I don’t remember this at all, but according to my mom, when I was little, my imaginary friend was a crocodile named Rosie Crocker and I think she had at least one feminine accessory? Basically this (I know the basic differences between gator & croc so idc if this is wrong, it’s the vibe)

In general, the female brain is still massively understudied in cognitive neuroscience. Even though sex steroid hormones are powerful modulators of learning and memory, less than 0.5% of the neuroimaging-literature considers hormonal transition phases, such as the menstrual cycle, the influence of hormonal contraceptives, pregnancy and menopause.

I think about this one quite a bit, depending on the season or it cycling back around.
Clearing by Martha Postlethwaite Do not try to save the whole world or do anything grandiose. Instead, create a clearing in the dense forest of your life and wait there patiently, until the song that is your life falls into your own cupped hands and you recognize and greet it. Only then will you know how to give yourself to this world so worthy of rescue.
