Emails from the VA are just getting more and more partisan in their language and content and I can’t help but feel like that’s bad.
That’s bad right?
Email text reads- President Trump reinstates GI Bill benefits to Veterans discharged for refusing COVID vaccine Veterans who believe they were discharged inappropriately or believe their personnel records still reflect an error may request a review. Once Veterans receive official notification that their discharge status has been upgraded to fully honorable, they can submit a new education benefit claim to VA LEARN MORE Email text continues- VA reduces backlog of Veterans waiting for VA benefits by 57% The backlog of Veterans waiting for VA compensation and pension benefits has dropped by more than 57% since the start of the second Trump Administration. The backlog reduction was made possible through a series of record-breaking production milestones. LEARN MORE VA houses largest number of homeless Veterans in seven years VA permanently housed 51,936 homeless Veterans across the country in fiscal year 2025. That's the department's best performance since it began tracking the number of individual Veterans permanently housed instead of the total number of permanent housing placements, ensuring a more accurate count of the number of Veterans helped.

Wore this outfit to my job interview last week.
This week I found out the look was successful.
Gonna be clerkin’ at the local library and I’m stoked about it 🤘🏻
Me in two photos, the first is a close up, chest up view, it gives more detail to the patterned blue shirt I’m wearing, it’s got swirling florals and varying dyes and shades of blues, and some stoning around the front of the collar. The second photo is a full length view that also includes my black pants patterned with grey horizontal and vertical stripes creating a square pattern

Without downloading new pictures, describe your gender.
A still from Bertrand Mandico’s “Rainer, a Vicious Dog in a Skull Valley” featuring Elina Löwensohn as Rainer, a long haired, leather jacketed, dog-faced demon/artist/muse/documentarian. The text at the bottom of the screen reads “All is possible in theater.”

Been a fan of @corinnehalbert.bsky.social’s art for a while, but just finally got to read Acid Nun and it was a beautiful book, weird and trippy and horny and devastating and joyful, highly recommend.
The cover to the book Acid Nun by Corinne Halbert. It’s black, there is an orangey-yellow border design that features various alchemic/astrological symbols and other imagery. The title is written in yellow on the lower half of the book, the upper half features an illustration of the titular Acid Nun looking into a mirror that a green skeleton figure lurks behind.

“Well fuck, keep me in the loop”
Text says "Caption this with the 2nd to last text you sent." Image is the corner of a room that looks like a murder scene with blood on the walls and a chest with a lamp and a small TV which has, on its screen, an image that looks very much like a naked butt.)

Fucking love when dressing femme also results in looking buff. Not for nothing, i kinda think my arms look fantastic in this pic
It’s me, standing with my arms crossed, I’m wearing a green and black top and a red and yellow patterned skirt.

Honestly, a lack of dystopia fashion while in the dystopia is a bummer.
So i’m channeling Viggo Mortensen in Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future, but with a few splashes of color for fun
Me in 6 frames, starting covered in cloaks, hooded and masked, mostly in black but with 2 scarves- 1 red, 1 blue, and blue and white tie dyed pants, and moving through the frames shows that opening the cloak reveals a red and white/pink tie dyed dress, and removing the cloak reveals a long, black sleeveless vest/jacket over all the tie dye. Viggo’s beautiful craggy face shining out from a black hooded cloak from the aforementioned flick Crimes of the Future

Hi, I think I looked cute yesterday, so I’m giving some to the timeline 🥰
Three pictures of me in various poses, I’m bald, bearded, bespectacled, and tattooed. I’m wearing a cute pink dress that would be scandalously short if not for the blue tropical patterned pants I’ve got on underneath.

Noticing there’s an uptick in articles about veterans committing “disability fraud” and I can’t help but feel this is a precursor to a VA disability purge and when I tell you that there are SO MANY reasons to be afraid of what that could look like at this present moment…
A screenshot of 5 articles, 3 from the Washington Post, all railing about VA fraud. “New report exposes fraud and abuse in VA disability programs The Washington Post VA's disability program is an 'honor system.' These veterans are defrauding it. 7 minutes ago Veterans of Foreign Wars VFW to Washington Post - Veterans' Disability Benefits are Not 'Loopholes' to Exploit 16 hours ago The Independent Hair loss, jock itch and toenail fungus: The millions taxpayers spend in VA 'disability' benefits... 1 day ago The Washington Post How some veterans exploit $193 billion VA program, due to lax controls 1 day ago The Washington Post Opinion | VA disability benefits is the hardest government program to reform 1 day ago”

Oh cool, we’re getting openly partisan over in the direct VA communications. Love that, great sign
An email from the VA, the text 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:”

Also, yes I’m currently watching Titus, I watched Romeo+Juliet earlier, and Macbeth (2015) before that. I don’t know why today is a Shakespeare day, it just kinda happened
The Weird Sisters as depicted in 2015’s Macbeth, they are shadows in the mist observing a battle taking place, the scene is a sickly yellow/green hue The best Mercutio ever committed to film, played by Harold Perrineau Alan Cumming as Saturninus stands in front of the rest of his cohort, they are all in stark costumes of red and black or white

Doctors I trust more than RFK Jr.
The cover art for 1989’s Dr Caligari. Madeleine Reynal as the titular doctor stands in a short, pink, plasticy nurse-esque outfit, standing in a striking pose, bare legs in a wide stance, left arm akimbo, right arm holding a syringe aloft, straight black hair down to the shoulders with bangs, and a solid red lip, she stares straight at camera. The background features a floor of dirt, fog and the impression of trees to her left, a door framed in odd angles with a straight jacket hanging in the center lit in red against blue is to her right.

Fuck all of this.
An image shared by Trump, featuring Trump’s fuckity draft-dodging ass head (no shade to draft dodgers because war is stupid and evil, but if you then turn around and cosplay as a tough guy soldier later you can get double fucked) superimposed over Robert Duvall’s Lt Col Bill Kilgore from Apocalype Now, cavalry uniform, hat and all, with helicopters flying over a flaming Chicago skyline in the background, with “Chipocalypse Now” in the Apocalypse Now movie font emblazoned over it. Trump’s caption for the image reads “I love the smell of deportations in the morning. Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of War” followed by some little helicopter emojis.

Drop a bad guy you actually love
Dan Stevens as David, aka Legion, of the FX show Legion based on the Marvel X-Men character. He’s wearing orange and dressed a bit like a 60s hippy guru type with scarves and beads. He’s got shaggy hair. He’s facing away from someone but looking back to address them, saying “I’m the magic man…” And if you’re saying “but David wasn’t the villain of Legion”, then I’d argue you need to reengage with the show, because he’s certainly not the hero.

You’ve inherited a movie theatre, what’s your first double feature?
The poster for The Muppet Movie. In it, the Muppets are all riding in a car straight toward the viewer in the foreground, while Miss Piggy dipping Kermit romantically under a rainbow looms large and slightly faded in the background The poster for Mad Max Fury Road. Furiosa kneels with a rifle pointed toward the right, while Max stands with a short barrel shotgun pointed left.
