"I asked him, "Why don't you write here in the fresh air in these beautiful surroundings?" I gestured toward the rose garden, the goldfish pond and the rows of sycamore trees in front of us.

Gurdjieff replied, "I always work in the cafes, dance halls, places where I see people how they are; where I see those most drunk, most abnormal. Seeing them I can produce impulse of love in me. From that I write my books.""

~ Louise March, 'The Gurdjieff Years - 1929-1949'

None of the clone troopers have ever spoken Mando'a in canon, however Rex has called people "kid", including several clones, Ahsoka, and Ezra. We also hear Cody refer to his subordinates as "kid" as well, and once he refers to another clone as "son" (Chopper in the Hidden Enemy)

Additionally, in the 'The Deserter', Rex explains that he is fighting so "our children and their children [won't] be forced to live under an evil I can't well imagine." When Cut points out that Rex can't have kids, as it's against the rules, Rex responds that "it doesn't matter if it's my children or other people's children." He is not denying that he doesn't have kids, but instead implying that he sees no different between his own offspring and others'.

Therefore, there is technically more textual evidence to support the headcanon that Rex would be referred to as "Dad" instead of "ori'vod" should a member of the 501st require a familiar nickname for him. In this essay I will examine the significance of this moniker in relation to Captain Rex, and expand upon how this may change our understanding of the GAR's interpersonal relationships

#OTD in 1960, U.S. Air Force Capt. Joseph W. Kittinger made a record-setting high-altitude parachute jump, stepping from a balloon-supported gondola at 102,800 feet. The record would stand for over 50 years. Read more from the #ASQ article: s.si.edu/3NTeIqE

If you don't succeed the first time, then parachuting is not for you

The question is never “is it good?” anymore. It’s good. I know how to do what I do well. I know I wouldn’t share it if I wasn’t proud. I’m good at what I do. It is good.

The question is never “is it good?” anymore. It’s “will anyone care?” It’s “will anyone like it?” That’s the black we step into, blindfolded and hoping like hell. That’s the endless adventure we’re on. It’s good. I’ve shared it. Will it matter?
