wait so what does will think about samy’s soccer offer?
because this would take place middle-endish of samy's junior year, i imagine gabe and ryan signing on with their nhl teams after their second year at boston—so in this they're already in their rookie season with the ny rangers and washington capitals.
i wrote ryan, gabe and will’s reaction all in one. i lowkey hate this, but it’s fine. i thought i was gonna drag out samy’s decision a bit longer, but she seems pretty decided in this part..sooo woohoo samy’s becoming a professional soccer player!!
au masterlist | previous part
"there she is!" ryan exclaimed when samy walked into the restaurant. the girl quickly smiled, hurrying over to hug the two boys standing up from their table. ryan embraced her first, a large grin on his features before passing her to gabe. 
"good to see you, hughesy," gabe squeezed her torso. she pulled back to admire their faces after not seeing them since summer. 
"it's good to see you guys too. i wanna hear all about your seasons so far," she gushed. ryan and gabe's teams happened to both be in detroit this weekend with games right after the other, so the three agreed to grab lunch in between. 
"we wanna hear about yours, miss 2nd national cup holder and captain," ryan pinched her arm as they finally sat down. the blushed deeply, quickly brushing him off. 
"it's honestly a dream come true. i'm so lucky to have a team like them," the girl giggled, eyeing the menu for a second. 
"sorry we couldn't be there this year. we saw the highlights though and you guys dominated that field," gabe added and samy grinned. 
"if you end up going pro, you're gonna build that program," ryan chuckled and the girl's ears burned hearing him say that. she bit her lip for a moment, wondering if she should just bring it up now that ryan mentioned it or wait. samy's been fighting a lot of internal battles lately, but she decided to just tell them now and get it off her chest or else she'd be anxious the whole lunch. she reached for her purse.
"speaking of going pro.." she slowly slid the envelope from her pocket, both boys watching her carefully, "i got a letter from albertin montoya. he's the head coach for bay fc, the women's professional soccer team in san francisco," she slid it towards them. 
gabe and ryan exchanged a glance before slowly eyeing the envelope. ryan grabbed it first, tearing the letter out while gabe leaned in to read over his shoulder. the soccer player watched their eyes slide across the page, eyes widening with each word they read.
"samy, holy shit. this is..this is awesome," ryan mumbled in disbelief.
"since freshman year? that's crazy. he knows you have talent," gabe jumped up to give the girl another congratulating hug. she giggled when ryan joined the group hug a second later. 
"so so proud of you hughesy," the taller brunette hummed, ruffling up her hair like a brother would. she flushed at their praise. 
"thanks guys..it's pretty crazy. i'm still wrapping my head around it. there is a small, small catch though," she got to the tougher side of the news as the boys sat back down. "he wants me on once my junior year is over which means i forfeit my last year at mich." 
"oh. of course there's a catch," gabe rolled his eyes a bit as ryan glanced at the letter again. 
"i guess that means you have a lot of talent in his eyes if he wants you that soon and badly," ryan commented, but then met his friend's gaze and saw the look in her eyes that both of them have grown to know really well over the years. 
"wait are you thinking about not taking it?" gabe quickly asked when he saw the look too.
"i don't know," the youngest hughes admitted making their eyes go wide again. 
"samy, you can't not take this offer. if you don't—"
"i know, i know. if i don't i may not get another offer like this again, but you guys gotta hear me out with this one. michigan has been my own life. it's what my family's built on. we moved to michigan because our parents saw how much we'd flourish here. it sounds crazy but it has this pull on me that's hard for me to let go of. not to mention just losing my senior year at michigan in general. i've dedicated 3 years of my life to that school. it's not that easy walking away from it," she cut gabe off and rambled off her explanation so they could at least hear where she was coming from. their faces softened hearing her say all of that about the school. 
"is there any way you could just not sign on officially yet and play your last season at michigan then once that's over, you can sign on officially?" the dark-haired boy wondered. 
"i emailed a bit with him and he said he wants me on all or nothing. it's crucial i start the regular season with them," the brunette shook her head. 
"well maybe look at this way. you played three great seasons for michigan. you built their program from the ground up. you left them with that legacy and those skills. it's like us leaving boston after two years. we left that program knowing there was a lot of great guys coming into it and continuing our legacy. there's girls on that team who look up to you and wanna do the same once you leave, so don't think the program won't be the same if you leave. you built that for them, so of course they're gonna use it. all of what's happened at michigan has helped you get to this moment that i know has been your dream for a long time," ryan's words weren't ones samy was expecting, but she appreciated hearing them. a soft blush spread across her cheeks. 
"it sucks having to leave a place and people you love, but it helped you gain so many new experiences and opportunities, like the one right here. if this guy has been looking at you since freshman year, then that has to mean something. to him, you have raw, real talent that he knows can excel even further in a professional setting," gabe added. their words were so sweet it almost made samy cry as she chuckled and tried playing off all the sentimentality. 
"you guys are soo cheesy," she giggled playfully making the boys smile. 
"i know it's hard, hughes, but this door will open so much for you. you're gonna go so far, i know it," ryan pinched her arm in a loving way. 
"it's just so weird to think about picking my life up and moving it away from my parents and my home."
"it's always really weird, but you won't be alone. you'll be closer to will. and mack. and quinn technically. you'll at least be on the same coast," gabe added and samy nodded. 
"what did smitty say?" ryan asked and the girl flushed. she fiddled with the ends of the table cloth, "i haven't told him yet." 
"you haven't told him? why?" gabe quickly asked.
"i don't know. i think i got scared of his reaction so i held off. i was still..feeling overwhelmed by everything and i didn't wanna put this on him yet," the brunette admitted. 
"hughesy, you know he's gonna be ecstatic. he's been talking about getting you to california since he got drafted. don't sweat his reaction," ryan reassured with a nod. 
"i know, i know. i just get scared to tell him certain things sometimes. i know he's gonna be so excited," she laughed lightly. 
"i get it, but he's not that guy anymore. he loves you, samy. like really loves you. he's gonna be so excited to hear about this. and if you're still feeling doubtful, maybe it's something you guys can talk about and how he managed moving across the country for a once and a lifetime opportunity," ryan laughed too.
"well..he technically didn't handle it the best because.." gabe's voice faded off, deciding to not finish that sentence. ryan and samy laughed though.
"right, yeah. i know what you mean. i'll tell him probably after tonight. i've just been trying to hype myself up," the girl hummed, feeling a little lighter about all of this after talking with gabe and ryan. 
now that the big topic was out of the way, the three spent the rest of lunch catching up. ryan and gabe gushed about nhl life while samy talked about her second national title. she always loved catching up with those two because there was never a dull moment with ryan stuffing his face with food and the two of them trying to talk over one another. 
later that night after samy got back from the game, she decided to call will. it was only 7 his time and he was definitely still awake. she propped her phone up against her desk while she began changing into comfier clothes and waiting for him to connect. 
"hi, baby. did you just get back?" his face appeared on her screen a moment later. he was walking into his room and shutting the door behind him. 
"yeah, like ten minutes ago. it was a great game. gabe's so fast on the ice," she giggled. 
"yeah, he's crazy. was lunch good?" 
"it was great. we caught up. gabe and ryan were gabe and ryan like usual. i missed seeing them, so i was glad we were able to catch one another." 
"i'm glad to hear that. they were excited to see you," will smiled. he would always love how close his old linemates and girlfriend became. they looked out for her like brothers and that was something will really came to appreciate when he wasn't around as much anymore. 
"so..i have some news for you," the girl sat back down in her chair once she finished changing. 
"what's that?" the blonde wondered. 
"i got a letter from albertin montoya the other day. he's the head coach of bay fc which is a women's professional soccer team in san francisco. he said he's been following me since freshman year, admires my talent and hardwok and wants me to sign on with bay fc at the end of this school year," she watched will's eyes widened the same way ryan and gabe's did earlier.
"are you joking?" 
"no, i'm not. i have the letter right here. it's crazy right?" samy breathed and showed the envelope in the frame. will's jaw snapped open, so much shock and disbelief on his expression.
"babe, you're kidding. holy shit. this is like pro soccer?" 
"yeah, pro soccer. i didn't even know he knew my name," the girl laughed. 
"baby, oh my god. i always knew you had it in you. holy shit. this is incredible," will was smiling from ear to ear at the news making the youngest hughes blush. 
"i'd have to forfeit my senior year at mich if i take it though which has been kind of hard for me and deciding," she frowned a bit. the hockey player quickly frowned too.
"damn, really?" 
samy nodded, "i've been talking about it with everyone though and i think i am going to take it. i'm gonna miss michigan and my senior year, but i also wouldn't have this opportunity without any of this or then and i think if i didn't take it it'd all be wasted." 
"i know it's hard leaving a place you love, but this is a crazy great opportunity for you, hughes. this coach has to know you have the skill if he wants you so soon. plus, you won't be far from me," a tiny grin spread across will's face because he's been dreaming of the day him and samy wouldn't have to do long distance for long periods of time anymore. a smile appeared on samy's lips as well hearing him say that. 
"that is a plus of it, yes," she giggled.
"seriously though, i think this will be a really great opportunity for you. you left a really, really great mark on michigan that i don't think anyone will ever forget your name there," the blonde laughed. 
"how did you managed moving so far away from home? that's another part that still gets me because i've never been that far away from my parents before," samy wondered softly, resting her chin on her knees that were pulled to her chest. 
"honestly, we both know i didn't handle it well at first," a laugh escaped their lips again because now it was something they could laugh about, "but i guess i just remembered that my family will always be there for me no matter what. i know if i ever needed something my mom wouldn't hesitate to fly out and be there for me and i know your mom is the same. it's a really hard adjustment, but it's not like they won't be there anymore you know? they'll always be there." 
"yeah, you're right. i think this will be really good for me. i happen to really like the west coast too," the couple shared a laugh. 
"it's gonna be really good for you, samy. i've watched your talent for eight years and there's not a doubt in my mind that you'll do really great over here," his words made the girl blush. 
"looks like we better start planning what to do when i get there then," she grinned.

Can we talk about Matthew and Bobby Chase please?
Like, do we think they feel guilty about Annabeth running away (Especially as they get older)? Because while it is their parents fault, the reason behind Annabeth's ostracization from the family was under the guise of "protecting" them.
Do we think they're jealous of Annabeth in a way? We can infer that as they get older, they learn that Annabeth is a demigod, and while we know that's not all sunshine and rainbows there is an appeal. I mean, doesn't the whole fandom wish they were demigods? Like, I don't think they envy her in the sense that she ran away at seven, but just the idea that she's half-god.
How about as they age? Do we think they can mend their relationship with Annabeth? Because their mother absolutely tried to cut them off, but Annabeth spends some time with them from 12 to 16ish on and off, before she goes to school in NY, which would put Bobby and Matthew at like 7 to 11ish. And Annabeth and Percy attend college in San Francisco, which is near where they live.
And Magnus! Do you think they find out about him? Were they at his funeral? Do they find out he's a demigod too? Do they see him after he's alive? Because I doubt they remember him from their childhood because they were toddlers.
And is there some jealousy in that (not in Magnus being dead and all, but like the concept)? Or does their jealousy of Annabeth and Magnus run deep because both of them are demigods.
Can they see through the mist? Because I lean towards yes.
So, can we all please talk about them?

The BAU Characters and their birthplace/hometown
Not sure why I made this but it could be used for reference at some point
David Rossi: Born in Commack, Long Island, NY
Elle Greenaway: Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY (mentioned in 2x02)
Derek Morgan: Born in Chicago, Illinois
Spencer Reid: Born in Las Vegas, Nevada
Jennifer Jareau: Born and raised in East Allegheny, Pennsylvania
Penelope Garcia: Born in San Francisco, California
Luke Alvez: Born and raised in the Bronx, NY (mentioned in 12x01)
Matt Simmons: Born in Carson City, Michigan (mentioned in 13x03)
Alex Blake: Born in Kansas City, Missouri (mentioned in 9x11)
Ashley Seaver: unspecified but implied to be somewhere in North Dakota, as her father was The Redmond Ripper
There's no specific birth place revealed for Emily and Tara though we know that they spent both most of their childhoods traveling a lot, the former due to her mother being a Diplomat and the latter due to her father serving in the U.S. Army.
I couldn't find anything specific on Hotch, other than his mother being born in Manassas, Virginia. Ditto for Gideon
Fun fact, Reid and Matt share the same birthplace as their actors. Elle, Garcia and Luke share the same state as their actors but different cities
I don't know how accurate this is. Feel free to add anything to this post incase I missed anything

McDonald's Restaurants by Magnitude of Mountain Backdrop / Rut
by u/Gigitoe
Eating a Big Mac® while gazing at Big Mountains is an experience that millions of Americans can relate to. But little do we ask ourselves, which McDonald's restaurants have the biggest, baddest mountain backdrop?
So I set out to answer this question, using rut, a topographic metric that does particularly well at identifying cities with badass mountain backdrops. (For more info, check out this Mercury News article by John Metcalfe, or my research paper)
Roughly speaking, this is how rut works:
The higher the mountains rise above a restaurant, the more impressive they appear, and the greater the rut.
The more steeply the mountains rise above a restaurant, the more impressive they appear, and the greater the rut.
Here's a tier list that shows the rut of the ruttiest McDonald's restaurant in various cities. The cutoffs are rather arbitrary, so please don't poison me with a Grimace Shake if your city doesn't get the tier you like :)
S tier - rut > 400 m (i'm lovin' it. would visit just for mountain views)
Palm Springs, CA (647 m) | Weed, CA (624 m) | Springville, UT (609 m) | Lone Pine, CA (521 m) | Rancho Cucamonga, CA (503 m) | Kailua Kona, HI (432 m) | Salt Lake City, UT (404 m)
A tier - rut between 200 to 400 m (impressive, but probably wouldn't visit just for mountain views)
Colorado Springs, CO (383 m) | Gatlinburg, TN (273 m) | Tacoma, WA (267 m) | Tucson, AZ (246 m) | Juneau, AK (223 m) | Tucson, AZ (209 m) | Albuquerque, NM (215 m) | Las Vegas, NV (209 m)
B tier - rut between 100 and 200 m (mountains nearby, or distant big mountains, or very distant huge mountains)
Anchorage, AK (192 m) | Seattle, WA (185 m) | Manchester, VT (166 m) | El Paso, TX (160 m) | Los Angeles, CA (153 m) | Portland, OR (144 m) | Denver, CO (126 m) | Boise, ID (106 m)
C tier - rut between 50 and 100 m (big hills nearby, or distant mountains, or very distant big mountains)
Rutland, VT (99 m) | San Diego, CA (84 m) | Asheville, NC (75 m) | Middlesboro, KY (70 m) | Phoenix, AZ (67 m) | Roanoke, VA (46 m)
D tier - rut between 25 and 50 m (hills nearby, or distant big hills, or very distant mountains)
Billings, MT (40 m) | Rapid City, SD (37 m) | Dalton, GA (38 m) | Hot Springs, AR (37 m) | Pittsburgh, PA (33 m) | San Francisco, CA (30 m) | Portsmouth, OH (26 m) | Greenville, SC (26 m) | Huntsville, AL (25 m)
E tier - rut between 10 and 25 m (small hills nearby, or hills in the distance, or very distant big hills)
Syracuse, NY (21 m) | Concord, NH (20 m) | Duluth, MN (20 m) | New Haven, CT (14 m) | Cincinnati, OH (13 m) | Wausau, WI (13 m) | Portland, ME (10 m)
F tier - rut between 0 and 10 m (flatter than a patty)
Nashville, TN (8.5 m) | New York City (4.3 m) | Kansas City (2.8 m) | Miami, FL (1.7 m) | Houston (1.6 m), TX | Chicago, IL (0.6 m)
For more locations, here's a spreadsheet with the rut of every McDonald's on this map.
----------------
Note: a rut of X doesn't mean the surrounding mountains rise a height of X above the restaurant. Instead, a rut of X means that a restaurant's mountain backdrop is as impressive as a restaurant at the base of a vertical cliff of height X. The less steeply the surrounding mountains rise above the restaurant, the lower the rut.
Also note: rut only considers rise above surroundings (relative height differences and angle of elevation). it does not consider absolute elevation, nor the "aesthetics" of a mountain, nor visibility (or lack thereof) due to weather or smog.
Attributions: Gavin Rehkemper (locations), FABDEM (elevation model), Google Earth Engine (calculations), ESRI (basemap), Kai Xu (rut metric and map)
If you like rut, you'll probably like its older brother jut even more. Jut measures how impressive, spectacular, or badass a mountain is—considering both its height above surroundings and steepness. If you want to find the most impressive mountains near you or worldwide, you may find the link above to be useful.
Let us know if you have any questions or comments—I'm happy to address them!

There's been a lot of talk about the upcoming US elections in November, but before we get to that, the primaries are still going on. I've seen people say to research your local progressives and support them, but ANY American can donate to or even volunteer for other candidates! At the least, everyone can boost the important primary races so that potential voters might see what's going on.
The NY 16th district is safe Democrat territory and whoever wins this primary will be all but guaranteed to win the general election. It will happen in 10 days, June 25th, and today (June 15th) is the last day to register for it.
I've seen a lot of frustration and arguing on the left about Democrats and Palestine, but this actually unites both sides! Jamaal Bowman, who already holds the seat, is one of the most pro-Palestine government officials we have. George Latimer, his challenger, is funded heavily by Israel's lobby in the US:
And as the case has been these last years, pro-Israel politicians are simply less progressive.
Tumblr media
And even if you don't care about Palestine enough to let it affect your politics, do you trust this guy to hold the line against conservative policies and to support liberal ones?
He's not just going to favor the rich, he's literally racist! He said Bowman, who is Black, won last time because of George Floyd! He compared people going after Andrew Cuomo for sexual harassment to Emmett Till (a Black 14-year-old boy who was lynched in 1955)!
This is a dig at Dearborn's high Muslim population (and bizarrely, also at the gays because of San Francisco??).
Tumblr media
You can donate or phonebank even if you're in a different state or district. If you support Palestine AND you want to use electoral politics to push the Democrats left, supporting Bowman however you can is a no-brainer.

USA BASEBALL RPF (MODERN SETTING) 2 - Campaigns in the Ukraine (Chapter 5a)
(AN: It's been a long way since I last wrote on Tumblr. I've been doing one shots set in the war on Discord on my server there and will transcribe them here. With the situation as worse as two years ago, I have long had a writing pause to focus on Discord. But still, I did some content there, here on Tumblr, and now on Substack. I am still writing now on what the 78th BCT prepared for in the weeks and months before and after the start of their Ukrainian deployment, and expect that there will be chaptered one shots set in Ukrainian battlefields, both on the perspective of the 1st Battalion and of those individual fighters as well. I have resumed writing the RPF of the hockey boys and girls too. All these I do so that not only the world be aware of what is going on in Ukraine be known and that every effort be made to help arming the nation and financially assist its defense industry and national reconstruction, but also so that the memory of the fighting men and women of Ukraine and the many international fighters especially those who have perished will be remembered long after the end of this war. These first chapters will also serve as an introduction to the cast of characters of this series.)
DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF WILLIE MAYS AND ORLANDO CEPEDA

DUKE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS
DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA
Friday, January 15, 2022
1045H EST
For the first time since activation elements of A and B Companies of 1st Battalion performed their first weekly Combat Water Survival tests in preparation for their potential Ukrainian deployment. The reason why is not just as a refresher training given that all those who were called for the mobilization program already had it done, but also to prepare for scenarios of crossing the rivers and lakes of Ukraine - as well as marshlands and swamps - without any vehicle or boat support, as well as in any scenario of any type of bridge being destroyed by Russian enemy fire as well as any Russian destruction of vehicles while crossing waterways by any means. Plans are made to make this a weekly duty as the other companies of the battalion are being activated from reserve and cadre status.
However Captain Frazier's 1st Platoon under 1LT Tyler Austin - the so-called Tokyo Boys - have some more time for swimming duties and water survival outside these, as per the behest of one of its men, as MAJ Sogard and some others view the proceedings. He can hear him shout "On me, go!" as the water splashes.
"Is that Sergeant Joe Ryan leading the company staff and 1st Platoon elements?"
BG Randolph replies, "He's the one. We all saw those swim pictures and videos he frequenly sent to us in Cary via email. He's grown so much since Tokyo."
"That's one of my A Company sergeants," the major answered.
Planned to be promoted to lieutenant colonel for his work in the brigade's reactivation to active duty, MAJ Scott Brosius added, "He's definitely been training in the pool in between our combat and training operations, Sogard."
"I'm sure he has been. And is that Major Nick Swisher?"
"Affirmative. Part of the 3rd NY, and as part of our brigade's training program, he has returned here to help in mobilization efforts. Ever the natural swimmer he is."
"Has Captain Plata known of this?"
"Has his seal of approval. And he's gonna make it a near daily duty outside of the weekly combat swim survival drills because 1st Battalion needs to be the vanguard in Ukraine operations."
"All normal so far for these lads, " added 1LT Mattalino. He says that through these and the other exercises they have been kept even more fit and healthy for operations ahead.
Sergeant Joe Ryan of 2nd squad, 1st platoon of A Company had been a part of the 2021 mobilization unit and ever the swimmer he was, alongside some of that unit, he was the lead NCO whenever pool and open water swims would occur. A native of San Francisco, CA, Ryan was selected to be a part of the 98th Tampa Bay but by the time he was already in Japan as a member of the 78th Brigade's Tokyo task unit in July of 2021, he had been transferred to Minneapolis and the battalion of the 1st Minnesota based in St. Paul operationally, since he had been named a part of its 1st Battalion upon his transfer. Being the lead swimmer in such training fixtures whenever a water scenario occurs he has been a big motivator for everyone in A Company. Captain Jake Arrietta of B Company could not help but watch from the sidelines at poolside as Joe and the 1st platoon finished their individual swim drills and emerged from the pool, all wet and bodies drenched by the water, before transitioning to combat water training invidiually - this time wearing combat shorts or speedos unlike in the earlier training in full battle gear. In both cases, the servicemen would carry their M4 rifles, which they have been inspected so that they would not be damaged by exposing to the water. It has been Joe's duty to help the company adapt to their role as the assault vanguard and to help them be ready for such scenarios in inland waters or in ocean waters. In this manner and reflecting where the 78th BCT is planning to head for deployment duties, preparing to swim in the fast flowing rivers of Ukraine, its lakes and swamps would be very easy if everyone would be prepared either if the crossing would be by themselves carrying their gear and rifles, inflatable boats or by their combat vehicles. All this was Joe's proposal when the 2021 contingent got formed up, for while this would be a reminder of his swimming days out west when he was young, it would also prepare them for the hard tasks of having to cross any inland body of water without any form of vehicular support. All of these, supervised by the medical staff, lifeguards and battalion and company leadership, would continue even during their deployment as preparation for the tasks they would do there.
"Cannot believe this Dex. How cost THEY do that?" Jake asked his XO.
1LT Dexter Fowler replied, "They did this before in Japan, I was told, and right here at stateside."
SFC LaPorta added, "I'm sure Baker Company will do the same iin the future."
"Same for me here, hoping that we would do the same as they do", added SSGT Blaine Neal.
After individual and then squad level drills, Joe's group - the A Company officers and assigned NCOs and 1st platoon personnel together - would do platoon level swim duty as a group, as usual wearing speedos or shorts to simulate a platoon level river crossing without uniforms but with rifles. Everyone at poolside has been impressed by what they have done.
And then comes that part wherein the whole drill is repeated but with combat gear and bags to simulate moving these thru rivers and lakes.
After all come out of the pool and bring their bags and gear to poolside for a final inspection, Major Sogard greets them. "Well done 1st Platoon of A Company, and to you Sergeant Ryan. Your efforts will make this unit ready for what the coming weeks and months will bring."
"It was my idea after all, for I've been a swimmer all my life," the sergeant replied. After learning that the 78th would plan to come to the aid of Ukraine in case of the feared Russian invasion that week and indeed he and his companions were the first to be mobilized officially, he devised a plan, he said, to prepare his mates in the Tokyo contingent - the first ones of A Coy 1-78th IBCT that got mobilized - for the challenges that lay in Ukraine's rivers, lakes, marshes and swamplands and how to cross them in the absence of amphibious-ready armored vehicles and any crossable bridges in the immediate vicinity, either temporary or permanent. This would continue even after they have been deployed because such a duty would happen by order of company leadership.
"Have the rifles been checked, sarge, post-swim?"
"Yes sir, all well and in good condition."
"Well noted Ryan. Well done everyone. This is just a start for this company, right Captain Frazier?"
"Affirmative sir, " Todd replied. "We will do this again in a few days and then we will do it twice every week to prepare the boys for such scenarios."
"Same for me major," added CPT Tulowitzki.
"I hope this continues well for A Company. Dismissed."
As the major left, Todd looked to Sergeant Ryan, saying "There's more we can do to prepare for these. We have a hard task to do."
"Noted, captain. Is that the same, SFC Gose?"
The company first sergeant replied, "Yup. That's the same thing Joe."
"Hoping we're ready for the next one lads. There will be more of these that will come as we prepare to answer Ukraine's call."
78TH BRIGADE COMMAND MESS
1600H EST
"Maxwell, we now have a commander for D Company of 1st Battalion, also set to be activated from cadre status."
That was the word that LTC Dale Murphy informed BG Maxwell. The search was over, 1LT Bailey Ober can finally be appointed D Company CO by the orders of LTC Fenster.
"Who's that?" Maxwell asked.
"Assigned to 1st Battalion, 1st Minnesota based out of Minneapolis. He's from Huntersville."
"Why he is being recalled?"
"Part of 2014 contingent from universities and colleges, general. The very things he learned there he now applies as a platoon XO there," Dale replied.
"That explains everything. And who chose him?"
"Major Sogard, sir. On the suggestion of no less than Sergeant Joe Ryan from A Company."
Jason then ended the talk saying, "I therefore hope he will be informed at once that he's being recalled to the active ranks. He must be ready for his first command billet. So have you guys have found a company first sergeant for these boys now that this company will be reactivated from being in the reserves?"
"Yes also. SSGT Lucas Sims, 1st Battalion 1st Cincinnati City. He too will be informed in a few days of his appointment to the role."
Then Major Sogard arrived, stunned by the decision to activate D Company.
"It now has a new commander and first sergeant? That D Company?"
"Yes Major, the one being set to be prepared for active duty," replied LTC Murphy.
"Noted gents. In a few days from now we can finally activate this. We have to hand over command to the newly selected members of the command team. Those being cadre, the last of the peacetime rifle companies, are being transferred to the battalions being activated."
"Affirmative, major. Slowly 1st Battalion is completing its mobilization phrase."
"But how about the rest of 169th Corps? Have they been informed?"
BG Maxwell replied, "Now more than ever, we have to inform them we are being mobilized given what's going on in Ukraine. They better be ready to recieve the mobilization order from USEC Manfred and his command team led by LTG Halem, who for the past years was also Corps JAG until he handed over to a new general officer this year. We must be ready to tell them now is the time to prepare the work needed for mobilization, whether Russia gears up to invade Ukraine or not."
"Noted sir. And has Swaggerty been informed of the appointment of his company XO?"
"Yes he has been called of this," Sogard replied.
"I'm sure he will be ready to be recalled to active service."
"He will be ready, Josh, to renew his commissioning oath as he prepares for this new assignment."
"And is the 4th and 5th battalions set for activation orders?"
"Yes major. They will be raised soon."
"And our tank battalion?"
"Its M60s and Abrams are being reconditioned as well. They too will have drills with us. The same goes for our field artillery battalions, soon being set to become a regiment under brigade headquarters. We have a whole lot to do to prepare for our future operations in Ukraine, even the equipment, uniforms, weapons and logistics assistance needed."
"Noted sir. Back to D Company. Are we looking on who will be filling its ranks?"
"2013-2015 collegiate, 2017 and 2018 pre-training, 2011-2015 high schools. We will notify them at home and their families. If the names called are absent due to various reasons we will be informed. If overseas by the time they are being called, we will email them to ask them to be here in Cary. Those who are overseas who are willing to wear the uniform, we will try to call them even if not named in these lists. For they too will be a part of this if they accept that mission."

From Scarsdale To Dearborn Enough with the Dogwhistles Already
Incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) is facing a tough primary challenge from fellow Democrat George Latimer. Much of the heat in the primary has centered around Israel (Bowman is a harsh critic; Latimer has AIPAC backing), and in that context Latimer claimed in a public debate that Bowman's constituency is not the local residents of New York, but rather "Dearborn, Michigan" (and "San Francisco, California"). Dearborn is well-known for its large Arab and Muslim population, and so Bowman quickly called him out for the racist "dog-whistle". I, of course, immediately harkened back to not-so-fond memories of Antone Melton-Meaux's 2020 primary challenge to Ilhan Omar,* where Omar's campaign sent out a mailer highlighting her challenger's donor support, singling out one from the heavily Jewish suburb of "Scarsdale, New York" (all of the named donors in Omar's mailer were also Jewish). This, too, was pounced on by Omar's opponents and said to be an antisemitic dog-whistle. Latimer's defenders say he was merely highlighting Bowman's lack of local support. Omar's defenders likewise contended she was being unjustly smeared as a critic of Israel. So, is this sort of attack a dog-whistle? Quick -- everybody switch sides! In all seriousness, if you condemned the Omar campaign for its "Scarsdale mailer" you don't get to give Latimer a pass on this. And likewise, if you poo-pooed the Scarsdale mailer as a ginned up controversy over nothing you can sit right down in your high dudgeon over the Dearborn remark. (My answer: Both instances were shady and both politicians deserved to be called out on it.) * I'm bemused to rediscover that my blogpost on this controversy was titled "I Have To Talk About Omar and Melton-Meaux, Don't I?", which really captures a certain mood, doesn't it? via The Debate Link https://ift.tt/xpfobhd

Note: Eddie will not be able to answer questions posted during the livestream nor ones left on our social media accounts
THIS WEEK'S QUESTIONS:
What's the deal with the short ties in mid-century movies? Some of them appear to be only 10-12 inches long.
Jay and Connie, Ann Arbor
In my opinion, the countries with the strongest cinematic noir traditions are France, Japan, the U.K., and Mexico. Do you agree?  I'd love to hear the two of you discuss each of those four noir traditions (plus others if you'd like).
Kathleen from Chicago
Have you been to the Hollywood Museum on Highland Ave. in L.A.?
Alan, San Anselmo, CA
SUMMER OF DARKNESS introduced me to Eddie Muller. Eddie, how did you get involved with this? Did you have any connection to TCM prior to that Summer?
John Weber in Tampa
Can you tell me why NOTORIOUS is no longer shown on TCM? And the wonderful film noir, SLEEP MY LOVE, will that ever be shown?
Jenene
What are your favorite noir-fusion genres and which films do you consider definitive examples of a noir Western, noir science fiction, etc.?
Brett, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
STAIGHT TIME with Dustin Hoffman and Harry Dean Stanton-noirs often glamourize criminals and heists, but this seems very realistic. What’s Eddie’s take on the film and both these actors.
Brian in Toronto
In Walter Mosley's EVERY MAN A KING, TCM gets a mention as do the following:
THE BRASHER DOUBLOON. Any thoughts on the Chandler book or the film?
A character is described as Sydney Greenstreet on steroids. If you were to name your Mount Rushmore of Sydney Greenstreet movies, which two would you add to the obvious choice?
Oliver mentions Steve McQueen's last movie, THE HUNTER. I would like to hear your opinions.
Joe from Suffolk County, NY
A few months ago, Eddie was traveling with Tizzy, which got me to thinking about the difficulties/practicalities ...Did Tizzy go on an airplane? Stay in a hotel room? (Hotel bar?)
Sue, San Francisco
How do you think it would go if James Ellroy and Hunter S. Thompson found themselves seated at a table in a small room together? 
Bill, Pleasant Hill, CA
Eddie doesn’t seem to care for in-depth academic studies of Film Noir and prefers a historical and production emphasis for such studies. If this is true, what is it about those aspects of an academic intellectual approach to Film Noir that rings hollow to you?

NEW FROM FINISHING LINE PRESS: The Lighted Pull of Dreams by Abby Lynn Bogomolny
On SALE now! Pre-order Price Guarantee: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/the-lighted-pull-of-dreams-by-abby-lynn-bogomolny/
In this extraordinary #poetry collection influenced by the moon’s silver luminosity, Abby Lynn Bogomolny elevates us with gorgeous images to “fill ourselves and fly.” Yet each boon is balanced by gravity. From her immigrant grandparents’ struggles to those of her own, she writes with heart and wit of vivid Brooklyn streets, the pine flats of Florida, and coastal California. If you thrive on words from a #female-centered perspective, one with a strong sense of place in lyrical rhythmic lines, The Lighted Pull of Dreams is a must read.
Abby Lynn Bogomolny is the editor of New to North America: Writing by US Immigrants, Their Children and Grandchildren and the author of poetry collections Nauseous in Paradise, Black of Moonlit Sea, and People Who Do Not Exist. Originally from Brooklyn, NY, she founded Burning Bush Publications and juried its poetry prize for a decade. After serving as Faculty in English with Santa Rosa Junior College for many years, she continues to write and stir the cultural soup in Northern California. www.abbypoetry.com
PRAISE FOR The Lighted Pull of Dreams by Abby Lynn Bogomolny
The Lighted Pull of Dreams spans the toughness of immigrant ancestors to personal coming-of-age, from Brooklyn streets to rural Florida to California fog, forests, and classrooms—all with quirk and grace. In this extraordinary collection, Abby Lynn Bogomolny’s poetry has come into its own—her voice both witty and spiritual, her forms traditional and experimental. She traces the labyrinths mothers and daughters walk around each other from birth until death. And at the core, an earthy spirituality of being emerges in the interstices of time and place. Open the cover and enjoy!!!
–Sharon Coleman, author of Paris Blinks and Half Circle, co-director of the Berkeley Poetry Festival, and instructor of Creative Writing at Berkeley City College.
The hovering intelligence, subtle humor, truth and trust of self-love. From free to formal verse. From New York walk-up to orange and redwood groves. Bogomolny grounds us with her tenacity mixed with vulnerability. Her herculean song shot through with light and its constant transformations and revelations. She is the poet who knows the gifts and complexities of her craft, lines lifting from all daily senses into, yes, that well-lit dream.
–Leslie Simon, author of The Divine Comic, Collisions and Transformations, and former Chair of Women’s Studies, City College of San Francisco.
The poems in Abby Lynn Bogomolny’s The Lighted Pull of Dreams offer the reader a fascinating range of voices and scenes, from a nighttime dream-flight over the redwood coast, Brooklyn brownstones along the East River, an imagined eighteenth century summer garden, orange and pecan groves beside a Florida farm house. We witness a classroom of students on their various journeys, the passing of a beloved mother, the rising of the moon on a pandemic night, filled with dark uncertainty. These are poems of mystery and longing, humor and wisdom, moments of intimacy and clarity “when we become what we came here to know.”
–Terry Ehret, author of Lucky Break and Night Sky Journey, and former Poet Laureate of Sonoma County

Alfonso Ossorio (b.1916, Manila, Philippines – d. 1990, New York, NY) was born in the Philippines to wealthy parents of Chinese, Filipino, and Hispanic ancestry. He moved to the United States in 1930. He studied at both Harvard University and the Rhode Island School of Design and then served in the military as a medical illustrator during the World War II.
His oil painting entitled “Beachcomber” (1953) is densely patterned with non-Western visual icons and images similar to the tribal art of Oceania which Ossorio admired at the Peabody Museum while an undergraduate at Harvard. The entire canvas is filled with endless sea of abstract forms, creating horror vacui, leaving a very little emptiness for viewers.

Talk Hockey to Me
tagged by @giirlinterrupted 🤍💙
Tell me about:
1. The thing that got you hooked on hockey
I grew up in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, about an hour south of Hershey, PA. My dad grew up going to watch the Hershey Bears play minor league hockey in the American Hockey League, and he continued the tradition with me (and my sister sometimes.) At first, I only really liked to go to the games for an opportunity to spend time with my dad, which was rare sometimes, but in middle school I somehow ended up being really good at floor hockey when we played it in gym class. One day I managed to score a hat trick, even though I was terrible at every other sport. (I also had a crush on one of the players on my school's hockey team at that point.) So I just kinda thought hockey was fun at that point and started enjoying the actual games more. Then I picked a favorite player from the Bears independently for the first time, and it was Mike Green. I didn't know much about him, just thought he was cool. He turned out to be really good, and when he got called up to the NHL to play for the Capitals, I started watching the Caps games on TV. (I was also lucky that we got the sports channel from Washington DC, despite not being all that close to there.)
2. Your first ever fandom friend
I'm not too established in the hockey fandom on here. I have a personal blog that I rarely use anymore that I used to post occasional Caps stuff on and follow a few Capitals people, but that's on a different account that I rarely use. I know hockey has become a lot more popular on footieblr over the years. I remember a few years back when it was more unusual for these fandoms to overlap that I sent a message or two to people who were in both fandoms that I thought it was cool that they liked both sports like I do. Basically my only hockey friend on here is @giirlinterrupted (and I'm so grateful that she doesn't put Sidney Crosby on my dash like so many other footieblr hockey fans seem to do.) IRL I have been surrounded by hockey fans most of my life though, because it's pretty big in my state in general, so the main time I felt a little more alone on that was the 2 1/2 years I was living in San Francisco. Unfortunately I am currently surrounded by Penguins fans :( as I am living in Pittsburgh. My IRL best friend is also into hockey, but she is a Sabres fan since she is from Buffalo and now lives in Rochester, NY.
3. The jersey you would most like to own
I wish I had an old Mike Green or Jay Beagle Caps jersey. Mike Green is now retired, and Jay Beagle, I don't even know.
4. YOUR player (you only get ONE so choose wisely)
I still have an unhealthy attachment to Jay Beagle even though he's been off the Caps for years. None of the current players can live up to that.
5. A pairing that deserves more fic
Don't really read fic much, but Ovi/Backstrom (I'm so out of the loop that I don't even know if they have a ship name) are adorable together, and idk how popular they are, at least outside of Caps fans.
6. Your favourite on-ice moment
Tumblr media
6/7/18. What else? I still cry when I think about it sometimes, and I can barely listen to "I Will Wait" by Mumford and Sons without crying due to that "Worth the Wait" video the Caps put out on social media after the Cup win.
link someone else's art/fic/etc that you love & think everyone should check out
He's here on Tumblr (@mxgicdave) but I could only find my favorite pic of his on Twitter:
Tumblr media
link something you made & are proud of & want people to see
Got nothing. I tried to write a few things about hockey in the past, but not since I was like 13. I was writing a story about a minor league hockey player whose playing got impacted by past trauma. Didn't get very far, then I was also trying to write a murder mystery featuring the Capitals, and I got even less far with that.
no pressure tagging:
I have no one to tag! :(
