Someone in the comments pointed out that this will also funnel kids into the military, because they pay for university under the GI bill. Will they pay for arts degrees? OF COURSE not. Don't be silly. 🫠🫠🫠

mrs.frazzledEffective July 1, 2026, the law creates a new accountability measure for all Title IV-eligible programs requiring that most students earn more than they would have had they not attended the program; otherwise, the program will risk losing loan eligibility.For undergraduate degree programs, the median completer who is working and not currently enrolled in further education would have to—for two out of three consecutive years—have earnings that exceed the median earnings of 25–34-year-olds in the state who only have a high school diploma or recognized equivalent.For graduate programs (e.g., M.A., J.D., Ph.D., M.D., etc.), the same calculation will compare the median program completer to the median bachelor’s degree holder in the state, aged 25–34, working, and not currently enrolled in further education.

This reminds me of my home, in Northern California.
I'm far away right now, in the UK, dealing with increasing certainty that I can't go back.

Yesterday, on a holiday where kids go door to door connecting with their community, my sweet town was terrorized by government-backed thugs. Our schools locked down. We patrolled the streets, warning vulnerable people to stay inside. Helicopters circled incessantly. ICE get out.

I've loved Dragon Age for years, since I was a kid. I'm a *thoroughly* jaded and grumpy adult now, but Veilguard reminded me of that kid, and why she wanted to make art. 🐉

Happy Halloween, and Happy Birthday to the game that rekindled my passion for art and storytelling. I wrote a lil sappy post about it on Tumblr, with a much longer, sappier post planned for when I don't have five projects going at once. 😅

I keep forgetting people use BlueSky now.
Anyway here's a page of the full-color longform DA:TV EmmRook fan comic I've been doing over on Tumblr that's honestly higher quality than my actual professional work these days because my brain craves creativity without the pressure of capitalism:

A scribble I did... What, five years ago? Oof.
This was right after I had been stuck in near-total isolation for 7 months in the UK during the pandemic shutdown.
I felt so broken.

This is why the costumes are honestly brilliant. Ngo, who has never said a truthful thing in his entire life (remember the concrete milkshake?) now has to convince people inflatable Sesame Street and animal costumes are violent terrorists.
Sometimes you just need an image too silly to demonize.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

There was So. Much. Happening today that, for the first time in 24 years, I completely forgot that it was 9/11.
It seems... well, eerie, that on the anniversary of these terrorist attacks, we are all dealing with the culmination of continuous domestic terrorism. 🧵/

Wonderful admission from the cops that non violent action is effective and really really makes them sad.
This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".
![One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested.
Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away.
House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.”
Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests?

House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7uvcqt45oqlutlrtgx7bpodq/bafkreie7yqxb4cj2t4gxftiqsno5wgk2kczb5vbtj7wh2b2u5sjtqtdrku@jpeg)
