Veterans Day: Honoring Our Heroes and Supporting Their Legacy

By, Junior A Goizueta Veterans Day, observed annually on November 11, is a significant day in the United States dedicated to honoring military veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Unlike Memorial Day, which honors those who died in service, Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, both living and deceased. This day provides an opportunity for Americans to…

Hogwarts and West Point: Unveiling the Shared Virtues of Magical and Military Academies

In a world where tradition and timeless virtues lay the foundation for growth and leadership, two academies stand as beacons for shaping character and courage: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the United States Military Academy at West Point. While one belongs to the magical realm and the other to the realm of discipline and duty, the principles that drive students at both…

The Unexpected Hurricane Drill: A Lesson in Resource Management and Readiness

Have you ever been caught off guard by a situation that taught you an invaluable lesson? While stationed on the East Coast, our Maintenance Officer began approving all leave requests, school requests, and other requests we brought to him as section leaders, even though it meant our Marines would frequently be out of the office. He quietly waited for a day when we were severely…

Here is the scripture the LORD provided afterwards:

Interestingly God was speaking of the Canadian government which has “ministries” however this applies for those who are in Ministry.

When we act dishonourably, you are causing others to stumble which means you are causing them HARM.

I have to say this person was cold and calculating but on the outside appears meek and kind and this caught everyone by surprise. Based on this scripture you can see that this is a BETRAYAL. A set up.

Something is about to UNFOLD and it will come as a surprise 😮

Also the colours *RED & BLUE* could mean something to a group of people.

The Handkerchief

Just to be CLEAR the handkerchief was plain red but then I saw the bandana and wow. Do you understand what the LORD is saying here??? 👀

PS. May the LORD protect what you and your teams are working on. When a thief is caught they have to pay the victims back 7x. This person will be “caught”. FYI.

To take credit for someone’s else’s work IS THEFT.

This also applies to stolen destiny’s. For some of you someone tried to steal your life as the LORD has recently been sharing with us.

There’s something going on with HAIR. I’ve been seeing several visions of this. I saw a man with dreads who’s hair I was trying to comb 🪮 a PM who was combing the hair of a biracial girl (his daughter in the vision - who at first I thought was me as a child) and TODAY the LORD showed me the ends of a woman with beautiful longggggggg blonde hair getting ready to be cut ✂️ I also saw someone walking with scissors in her hand getting ready to stab someone. Be wary of the DELIAH’s in your lives (male or female), my loves. Yes, this message is for you, too.

I’m a BIG fan of the IDF and Israel 🇮🇱 so I pray it works in their favour 🙏🏾

Photo Credit to the IDF 😂

Stay strong BABES. I am interceding 🙏🏾

PPS. I did see something else about a ministry leader with 30 pieces of silver in a net tucked inside her white long jacket. These were three coins 🪙 God showed her and directed her to take from the fishes mouth similar to Peter. She was going to use the same FUNDS given to her by the LORD to betray someone else as in the case of Judas. Remember why God said he’s taking some ministries DOWN.

One of my personal nitpicks for historical fantasy is a lack of servants, staff, subordinates, and... idk... subjects? Like, their absence is not... a total dealbreaker for me, depending on the situations the characters are in and whether or not I can just assume that other people are there in the background... but so many of the protagonists in historical fantasy stuff are higher-ranking (very often royalty), and/or have busy jobs, and/or have enormous houses that would necessitate having at least part-time staff.

Like, girl, you should have a maid! WHERE is your chaperone?! WHO is driving this carriage?! Where are your footmen? Are you trying to imply that a WEALTHY DUCHESS is taking a CAB?! You know that you probably have tenants, right? Where is your steward?! Where is your lawyer? Your accountant?! (Like, yeah, you're not going to have your lawyer living in your house, but you HAVE one, right???)

Or, man, you're supposed to be a military commander and you don't even have a single secretary?! Where is your SQUIRE?! (In the spirit of historical fiction, I am jumping wildly across time periods with every sentence here.) Man, I know you aren't looking after your own boots. Where are your GUARDS?! Who set up this tent for you?! Who is looking after your horse?! Who is making and carrying the incredibly valuable maps people are recklessly stabbing daggers into?!

SOMEONE has to be scrubbing these floors and delivering the mail and cooking the meals and doing laundry, and they're probably all DIFFERENT people! My dentist has at least three different receptionists and we can't even get ONE for our court wizard here? A sorcerer's apprentice to take notes? Someone like Sherlock Holmes could get away with just having a housekeeper and taking taxis, sure, but your character is supposed to be a KING?! Why is he answering his own front door? He's going to get assassinated. His SERVANTS should have SERVANTS.

Like, yes, I understand that a lot of servants in certain places at certain times were supposed to make their labor invisible, but there have always been servants who still had to interact directly with the masters of the house?! Yeah, there are potentially really messy ethics here, class divisions are bullshit, but I don't think that completely ignoring the reality that humans have ALWAYS been doing work for other humans is better than just including some well-paid and well-treated servants and employees? Because a complete absence of them, especially where logically for the worldbuilding there MUST be servants (and probably exploited servants, or worse, for some particular worldbuilds to work), often makes me think that your main characters just don't care enough to notice the "lower class" people or know their names.

Also, even Frodo Baggins had a gardener and Samwise Gamgee might be the best damn character in the story?! Sam saved the world?! Servants are PEOPLE. Servants are often the funniest and most interesting characters, tbh, with the most to say about a society and its workings (yes, Discworld is a very good book series, highly recommend), and also the joke of some romantic scene being carefully orchestrated by a stage crew of servants frantically diving into bushes to stay out of sight never gets old to me. Teamwork makes the dream work!

I don't want to gatekeep historical fiction, especially not historical fantasy, because the worlds don't necessarily have to conform to our own and may have magic and characters are often in very unique circumstances, but... sometimes I pick up a story and it's like... "Author, please tell me that you know there is a difference between a butler and a valet?!"

Veterans: Breaking the Stigma & Recognizing Their Strengths

Just Because Training… What is it like to be a dangerous person? Civilians often think that because military veterans are oftentimes trained to kill and/or be killed, they are dangerous. In the military, most branches learn to shoot real guns, with real bullets, with very real consequences. We have all seen the movies where the basic trainee becomes irrational and kills the drill sergeant. This…

ROUND THREE: MATCH-UP ONE

Remember, this is NOT about who would win in a fight. This is about who makes the best leader for Mandalore as a whole.

Explanation post

Seeding

Propaganda below the cut! You can submit more on this post and I will reblog it back to here!

SATINE KRYZE

Anon: Satine because she served. Mandalorian fashion week would love her. Manda'slay.

Anon: Satine Propaganda: Was supported by the STRONG MAJORITY, led Mandalore to be in peace for NEARLY 20 YEARS, didn't ban mando'a or armour or any part of the culture like fandom claims, is a good fighter, considered EVERY Mandalorian a Mandalorian and didn't discriminate

@lightsaberwieldingdalek: Satine propaganda: she actually ran a functioning government. Not a mercenary band, or a death cult, or a terrorist extremist organisation, an actual functioning government. Yes there was corruption, corruption she did her best to stop to the point of personally getting in firefights with smugglers, but she took a planet devastated by civil war and by the end of her rule she had schools, public works, and a justice system. - Sure, the rest can run military operations (and we don’t know Satine couldn’t, only that she *won’t*) but can they make the bins get emptied regularly to go to the recycling plants?

COMMANDER CODY

Anon: Propaganda for Commander Cody: - Cody was a student of Alpha-17, who in turn had been personally trained by former Mand'alor Jango Fett, giving him a strong training lineage claim to the title - Cody's service as Marshall Commander in the GAR gave him a lot of the diplomatic, organizational, and military experience needed to govern a planet like Mandalore

@spacetime1969: This man has led more people at once than anyone on this list.

Anon: Cody should be Mand'alor because it would be unspeakably sexy

@cha0s-cat: Cody has experience with negotiating from accompanying Obi-Wan, he leads a massive amount of his brothers already. Can recognize when there is a need for negotiations vs a need for violence. This would balance out the majority of the two factions (pacifists/traditionalists) excluding the extremists on either end. And with the amount of chaos that he has to deal with when it comes to Obi-Wan and Anakin, this would probably be relaxing.

@skykind: - Has resisted fascism and its attendant police/military state at great personal risk (Bad Batch 2.3), which is apparently necessary to successfully govern Mandalore so long as Death Watch is fully armed and also backed by someone more cunning than their usual leadership (Clone Wars 5.15). - Possesses exceptional leadership and organizational ability from his time as one of the highest-ranked Clone officers of the GAR. The Clone Wars and Bad Batch narratives furthermore present him as Obi-Wan’s peer, so he should be interpreted as equally skilled, wise, kind, and unhinged-in-battle as Obi-Wan. Jury’s out on the sarcasm. - Turns to diplomacy before fighting (Bad Batch 2.3). - Has caught a Jedi’s lightsaber mid-battle at least two times (Clone Wars 1.20 and Revenge of the Sith). This is a very useful skill to have as the prospective or current leader of people who keep chucking the darksaber about. - Has returned a lightsaber to a Jedi at least two times. This is a crucial skill to have as the prospective or current leader of people who should stop selecting said leader via darksaber acquisition.

@antianakin: [From the Boba vs Cody poll] So in a very practical sense, if I'm just looking at it with the question of "Who actually has the skills to be a good leader of people" [between Boba and Cody] then the answer is undoubtedly Cody. Cody was trained his entire life presumably to be a Commander in a large army and seems to do that very successfully for three years. He seems fairly humble, has good teamwork skills, he's kind and understanding and merciful, and he's a very skilled fighter. All of this would serve him exceedingly well if he chose to take on a leadership position, on Mandalore or otherwise. - The one downside to Cody is that Cody shows exactly zero interest in Mandalore at all. Cody does not identify as a Mandalorian at any point and never seems like he'd want to, let alone LEAD the Mandalorians. I do not personally see Cody actually being WILLING to lead Mandalore if offered the opportunity, even if he'd definitely have the skills to do so. I feel like if it were offered to him or fell into his lap somehow, he'd just pass it off immediately to the next most qualified person who was interested in it. Mandalore is not his problem or his responsibility and he's not about to change that.

There was a lot of discourse on the Bo-Katan vs. Cody poll, but it was largely "this is why the other character is a bad choice" rather than "this is why my fave is a good choice," so there isn't really a good way to include it.
