K (189?–?) Soviet pioneer.
From Kazan, Tartarstan, USSR, K was diagnosed as a ‘transvestite’ in 1937.

I did my partying last week, dressed as Elvira Mistress of The Dark. Today i’m off work, so i’m visiting an old friend, gonna hit up a Sephora and use my gift card, and then see a Halloween parade. The veil is thin, ya’ll.
oh yeah, luckily no one rung cuz we turned the lights off but like I took a peek outside and there are so many people in our street, i'm happy to hide and read instead, although the fireworks are kinda distracting
Work, I work the nightshift and I always work weekends and holidays. When I get home I want to watch a movie but I doubt I'll have the energy, always fried AF.
Me too lately. I have been really struggling with my disability of late, and today is my first free day in a while. Thankfully do not feel half dead, as well.
We had a small party at my moms' place this past Saturday night for 3 birthday anniversaries (not on the actual day of any of them) and Halloween. Next year, we might make it 4 birthdays anniversaries celebrated at once since there's an expected birthday very soon.
The veil is thin, ya’ll.
Is this a metaphor or are you actually wearing a think veil?
This is the first day i have had off in a while, thank god.
the veil is thin
Traditionally in the western spiritual tradition this time of year is seen as the time where the ‘veil’ that separates the world of the living and the world of the spirits is thinnest at this time of year. You can see this in traditional Halloween/Samhain and Dia de los Muertos celebrations in this time of year.
Whether you believe or not, is a fun auspicious occasion.
