🍰 BrownDust2 | Lydia’s Birthday 🎉 Happy Birthday to Lydia, the rookie spearman of the new mercenary group! 🎉 “You came at the perfect time! Could you take a look at my journal? See? I wrote ‘Best Day of My Life’ in huge letters right here! Until last year, I was such a fool that I spent my birthday training without even realizing what day it was... But this year, I circled it on the calendar and waited for today! Thanks to your trust, I managed to finish my training with this old wooden spear... And more than anything, I’m being congratulated by someone very precious to me. I’m so, so happy! Thank you!” #HappyBirthday# #Lydia#

🍰BrownDust2 | Lydia's Birthday Everyone’s acting a little strange today! People keep giving me all sorts of gifts, but I honestly couldn’t figure out what they were celebrating... ...Wait, it’s my birthday?! Oh, no... I completely forgot! I guess I haven’t checked the calendar in ages—I’ve just been focused on training all day. I need to go back and thank everyone right away! 📢 Don’t forget to shower Lydia with all your birthday wishes~! #HappyBirthday#

The Vegas Justice League Justin Woo and his wife, Lydia Ansel, co-founded the @LVJusticeLeague, a nonprofit that brings together local entrepreneurs and business leaders to fund forensic genetic genealogy testing to help solve cold cases. Since partnering with LVMPD in 2020, and working with @othram, the organization has helped solve 10 cold cases, bringing answers and closure to victims’ families. The City of Las Vegas has proclaimed July 21 as Vegas Justice League Day.

Mohammed Fahir Amaaz jailed forthree-and-a-half years after assaulting two female police officers at Manchester Airport. Amaaz punched PC Lydia Ward in the face, knocking her down and breaking her nose, and assaulted PC Ellie Cook. He also convicted of an earlier assault of a member of the public at an airport Starbucks. Reading a statement during Amaaz's sentencing hearing at Liverpool Crown Court, Ms Ward said: "I want you to take a good look at me." "You chose to attack a female. You knocked me to the ground with one punch, with so much force you broke my nose. "How would you feel if a male did that to your mother? How would you feel if it was your mother standing here today explaining how she was violently assaulted by a male? "What you did was cowardly." 3.5 years for punching females and police officers in the face, and headbutting another person, and he'll serve half of that at best. The guys who cut down the Sycamore Gap tree got more than that.

I added my new short film to Letterboxd. Check out the first review of Heretical Girls! To have my project and my name be mentioned along with Richard Kern, Nick Zedd, Lydia Lunch and Beth B is crazy and I don't feel worthy of it, but thank you, man!
