Violet/Vee (They/She)

Violet in a black tee for the band Meet Me @ The Altar that shows the heads of the 3 original members. She is wearing it under a black pinafore, which she is holding the ends of outwards in a faux curtsy. Her head is tilted up and to the right happily.

Shes looking towards camera and a little closer so all details can be seen, like her pink disco duck earrings.

Wearing band tees with a pinafore is quickly becoming my new version of band tees with jeans… adding the battle vest makes me feel like the ✨tough girl✨ friend in a sitcom 💕

I’d like to thank the pharmacy for being unhelpful when I picked up my first fill of injection HRT today. They do not have any sharps containers I could buy or get, they also did not bother to tell me that I would only get the needles and that they don’t have any syringes one can buy.

Find your senators at reps.fyi or call 202-224-3121

I fully agree, and maybe it’s not quite accurate but I feel like the way media exists and is consumed now doesn’t leave a strong enough imprint to want to spend pocket money on a tiny statuette of a character.

Post you from a different era. 19, a little punker. Peep the hat, plaid jacket with band buttons, and fingerless gloves.

THEYRE CLOSING THE PUBLIC LIBRARIES IN THIS SYSTEM TO BAN BOOKS BECAUSE THE SECRETARY OF STATE TOLD THEM TO.

This is a big fucking story. They won't be the only ones.

Places I’m a regular at are starting to remember my new name (or getting real close like Lavender) and that’s real fucking nice.

I need to rewatch this, I recently rewatched Romeo Must Die with him and it was surprisingly good and super fun

Frequent patron who is 7 years old, told me how he's excited that he's going to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony. He is so happy to be there because, I quote this 7 year old verbatim, "I will get to see the White Stripes live and my life will be complete!"

Rock and roll little dude

i cannot get over this drawing of stephen king araki drew

Violet, in a blue tanktop, tilting her head slightly to the side. She’s holding up a peace sign, has on Richard Scarry illustration earrings, and her pretty hair is blowing in the wind.

It was really nice and warm yesterday so I snapped a pic looking cute… putting it here so it’s remembered long after it fades from my Insta Stories

Still need more baseball?

We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

A photo of Violet sitting at a wood table. Her left leg is crossed over her right, laying in her lap is Geppetto the tuxedo cat, he is looking up at her/the camera so wistfully.

In our apartment, it’s not “I will eat at the table”… it’s “WE will eat at the table”.

I feel a DEEP DEEP sense of imposter syndrome at the mention of me being in a supervisory role… so please clap that I turned that off for 5 minutes to apply for the “exam” for a promotion at work. No idea if I’ll get an interview, but I put my name out there.

Thank you I had so much fun working with everyone to put it all together, and it’s been such a hit.

Violet in an eggshell color sweatshirt and sweatpants combo. Felt feathers artfully adorn it, she has on a brown and yellow shawl around her shoulders and neck. She has a papercraft beak around her mouth. A gaudy straw hat with feathers and plants rests on her head with ribbons from it tied around her chin. She has a straw basket of nursery rhyme books and is holding one of the books up as she gazes out a stained glass window.

Something feels entirely correct about being dressed as Mother Goose at my library job on Halloween. Thank you to the most wonderful friends and loved ones for helping make this costume a reality 💕💕

Violet as Fabio: black slacks, a poofy silly white dress shirt, and a luxurious long hair blond wig. The poofy shirt is unbuttoned enough to show the fake abs Violet has on.

Violet as a Sassy River Boy: wearing worn out jeans with red patches on the knees, a rumpled white button up, black suspenders over it, and a worn straw hat.

Violet as Paul Bunyon: dark blue jeans, a blue and white flannel button up, black suspenders. She’s holding a plastic axe in her hand and has a tiny plush blue ox pinned onto her shoulder.

Violet in a blood stained and torn white button up, a gray sweater loosely worn over it, she’s grinning menacingly and her hair is mussed up and sticking out all over. Shes holding a toy train car that appears to have some teeth on the sides. A paper tag is pinned to her chest that reads: “Mr. Roger’s… Gone Bad”

For those of you who haven’t been moots with me for long, I have always been this way… a HS year I was Fabio, a tad back I was a sassy river boy of a Mark Twain variety, I’ve been Paul Bunyon (w/Blue Ox), & childhood featured a Killer Mr Rogers (edited title pictured as to be allowed in school).

the most important part about being a trans woman is internalizing the fact that your existence is a gift to the world, your presence is a blessing on those around you, and you will become perfect at anything you set out to do.

First wear of my Mother Goose costume, it is a smash hit.

Thank youuuu, I’m so happy with how it came out.

It absolutely gutted me to read a post that pointed out how she and Madeline are the two we see made out of love and suffer so much.

Listen here you scamp

Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text. -- Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

Were my dress shoes old… yes, is it DEEPLY funny to me that the ONE part of my outfit last night from my boy years just completely shredded to dust during the reception, also yes.
