10yo niece has completed reading the 5th Harry Potter book, and so may now watch the movie.

Which is what we're doing this evening.

Cheers
Have absolutely run into Dolores Umbridge-like people in academia and the military

They are toxic, arrogant, and somehow make their way to the top, despite everyone hating them

Be the Fred and George you want to see in the world
And niece is now correcting the movie where it diverges from the book
"Order of the Phoenix" should've just started off with Hagrid showing up and saying "You're a teenager, 'Arry"

Would've set the stage marvelously

Fielded a couple calls from friends who are nearing the end of their patience with the Army. Over-worked, under-grade, and with no end in sight. All for Sisyphean efforts to no real end that do little to actually increase readiness, dancing to the tune of out of touch leaders.
Told them what I always do. Hang in there, we will outlast. Their fear is that we will become that which we dislike...FGOs who have given up, caved to the system.

And yeah, TBH, that's my fear as well.

Why do we break our best talent (not me) & force them out?
This is what boggles my mind. The Army could be such an amazing institution, and sometimes is. But we fight these uphill battles just to try to create an environment where we have ready soldiers who want to be a part of the organization - just to try to take care of soldiers

Can't wait for more lies about "we fought the Revolution to keep the right to bear arms" made by the same people who think 2-3 rounds/minute from a musket is the same as semi-auto rifle fire with high-capacity mags.

Willful delusion.
Arms had so little to do with it. Had to do with the rights of British citizens: see, the Intolerable Acts, Quebec Act.

Once Boston was occupied & the MA Militia activated, gunpowder was key, not arms. They had plenty of crappy muskets (not enough bayonets) but not much powder
When CPT Parker put his militia company on Lexington Green, it wasn't to protect their muskets - it was to preserve order from British incursions

And Pitcairn didn't say "turn over your weapons." He said "disperse, ye rebels"

I recently made a Facebook post about some of the realities and challenges facing publishing in 2019. I decided to copy the post to Twitter because...well, something has to give and it's up to us (the authors) to change the current standards. So, here it goes...
1/
 I began writing my first book in 2013. I self-published it on December 27, 2015. I was new to the business and I literally knew nothing. I made my own cover, which I’m embarrassed of now. But hey – I was brand spanking new and was learning as I went.
2/
 And yes, there were typos galore in this first book. My January 2016 sales raked in a whopping $1500. I was shocked! After all, I was a nobody – a brand new author who nobody had heard of and I made $1500 in my first month!

6yo: (matter-of-factly) MOM, YOU KNOW WHAT I CALL SHORTS THAT ARE JEANS BUT NOT PANTS?

Me: nooo…what?

6yo: JORTS.

BECAUSE J-J-J-JEANS, BUT THEY ARE SHORTS

Me: (nonchalantly while tears start leaking from my eyes middle of Costco) …oh yeah, I can see how that works
6yo: WHERE DO THE DORKS LIVE?

Me: 🧐 that's not a nice name to call people

6yo: NO, THE BIRDS. DORKS.

Me: oh. Storks. The birds are called storks.
6yo: YOU KNOW THE BEST WAY TO DIE?

Me: uh…

6yo: OLD AGE.

Me: ah

6yo: IT'S BETTER THAN WALKING THE PLANK, OR SMOKING, OR MURDERED
