My favorite tik toker strikes again!

I called this hotline TODAY, about an hour ago. The person I spoke to was VERY HELPFUL. There are MANY OPTIONS at your disposal for resisting orders, even if they try to tell you they are lawful!

If you are activated, CONTACT JAG IMMEDIATELY. They may have you refuse the orders anyway but at least you have their legal counsel.

Guardsmen, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. PAY ATTENTION.

I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed …

Oath of a United States Soldier……

I do not follow orders that CLEARLY violate the constitution. Suck my dick.

As someone who has actually served and knows what the fuck she’s talking about, unlike people who wanna parrot an oath they clearly know fuck-all about, it is also pretty fucking clearly stated in the Uniformed Code of Military Justice and the Manual for Courts Martial that being ordered to mobilize against *and potentially kill* (because, brutal and nasty truth, that’s exactly what 45 is looking for) their own unarmed countrymen is an example of an unlawful order. 

It is why James Miller handed his resignation to Defense Secretary Mark Esper, and why other military leaders like General Mattis have strongly condemned 45′s responses.

Do NOT throw around that oath like it somehow locks soldiers in to doing everything they are told. It shows your ignorance and lack of reading comprehension, not to mention the full set of circumstances under which soldiers live. 

No idea if anyone who follows me currently serves and is worried about being deployed in this manner, but if you are: PLEASE remember this. Keep the above information handy and reach out at least for questions on what you can do. Especially if your economic situation is tenuous and a dishonorable discharge can keep you from accessing some benefits you’re owed as a veteran. You don’t have to feel like you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place for trying to do the right thing.

Posse Comitatus Act

Additionally, in accordance with the Geneva Conventions, if you commit a war-crime while under order, despite the fact that it a superior officer or commander (or President) has made the decision to commit the crime, you are still legally liable to be held accountable and to trial for your actions. That means the onus is on the everyday soliders to decide what is right and wrong, not just to follow orders blindly.

Disclaimer: I am not American, so I will not comment on what I don't know and haven't experienced in that country, however I do know that, as a previously serving Naval Officer, if I was ordered into a similar situation I would be thinking pretty fucking hard about what constitutes as a war-crime, and why this rule is there in the first place

plot twist: the introverted character who doesn’t like big social gatherings or speaking in front of people is still an introvert by the end of the story because introversion is not a character flaw and it doesn’t need to be overcome 

i want people to start making Hamilton ocs like just iNVENT A FOUNDING FATHER just fUCKING MAKE UR OWN AMERICAN HISTORY self insert where u wrote part of the constitution

Hi my name is Yorkshire Philadelphia Virginia Willamette Laurens and I was born in New York (that’s how I got my name). I have short blonde hair I keep under a powdered wig and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Marie Antoinette (AN: if u don’t know who she is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to John Laurens but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie. I have pale white skin. I’m also a genius, and I drafted the entire US constitution by myself (I’m seventeen). Stupid men are trying to steal my work. I’m a girl (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly black. I love boys clothes and I always wear them. For example today I was wearing a black shirt with a matching waistcoat and black leather pants, pink stockings and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was walking outside the Constitutional Convention. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of stupid men stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

This is exactly what I had in mind nice

if this is how they act when they drink separately can u even imagine what it would be like if they got drunk together

2016 sucks ass but at least there’s a healthy realistic canon gay interracial couple on a mainstream anime, consisting of main characters whose character arcs in no way revolve around their sexuality.

So I updated the Winterhawk Fic Rec List and made it easier to navigate. Let me know if any links aren’t working if you guys use it so I can fix it!

How to make a character's death sadder

That’s enough Satan’s publisher…

>B)

7. If possible, try to kill them off in the middle of the story, so we had time to like them and we will have time to let the loss settle in.

8. Also, place surviving characters in a situation where having the deceased person there would help them get out. You can choose whether you will point this fact out or if you want the audience to make the connection themselves.

9. Make them die by sacrificing themselves to save someone they love from a danger created by the antagonist.

based on a few deaths that made me blub like a baby…

10. have their loved one, broken hearted, tell the team to stop fighting because “its over.” 

11. have their pet come looking for them. 

12. have their loved one perform a popular song at their funeral so it makes the fans cry whenever it’s played.

13. family witnessing the death and/or blaming themselves.

~ Mulan

so… let’s add some frustration to your dear readers’ sadness, shall we?

14. kill the character in the middle of making a joke, smiling, or expressing/experiencing joy/happiness.

15. make the character’s death slow and painful, but make them unable to call out for help even though they can literally see the other characters nearby.

16. after killing the character, have others think the character had betrayed them so they’d always hate them and remember them as traitors and never say nice things about them… Give your readers no chance to have group-therapy with other characters by making them the only ones who know the truth.

17. right before their death, show a side of them nobody has seen. (someone who is always tough and brave being genuinely scared of dying alone; someone who is always laughing being in tears before dying, etc.)

18. make them the only person who knows a big important secret that would help other characters in the story.

19. have them being lied to before dying. (thinking they’ve been betrayed; thinking they weren’t loved; thinking they’ve lost their loved ones, etc)

20. make the character very enthusiastic/passionate about a certain goal, constantly put stress on their goal, have them die unexpectedly before they can reach their goal. 

and the best one…

21. have another beloved character kill them–better be a close friend to your character, one that absolutely nobody suspects, one that everyone can’t help but love, one who is always enthusiastic about things and encourages your character. THEN

This way only your readers will know the truth, thus the frustration would be… most enjoyable for you.

Satan out.

22. Have the character have to kill someone they truly love because there is no possible way to avoid it and it has to be done. Then

23. Make one of the characters have something that will slowly kill them over time such as month and years. And

Make sure to have some fluffy moments between the angst. This is to make those angstier sad moments even sadder. Make sure other characters who love the character have to be there as the person’s healthy slowly worsens day by day or month by month. Eventually kill them off.

24. Have them never find the character because they think they went home or that they left for some happy reason, but they die on the way home and no one ever finds out they died except the reader.

25. Have them die a tragic death, but upon dying no one remember they existed, but are sad for some reason regardless of the reason.

I hate every single one of you.

Also thank you all for your valuable help.

my rosal feels tickling prepare my knife! (pen)

now I feel the need to write some angst

This is what I spend my Saturday thinking about. Gotta love community posts on Buzzfeed 

This is actually so good

Must reblog Trump Umbridge. I must.

HE LITERALLY WALKED INTO MY SWORD OFFICER

DUDE IS READING ‘A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME’ BY STEPHEN HAWKING

I NEVER REALIZED

are you serious

I always assumed wizards just ignored science, because the fact that “magic” exists, can explain anything. But there are MuggleBorn wizards, ones who, until they were eleven, lived in the real world and learned science and things. Did they all just abandon that normal, muggle knowledge, like Harry did? It’s always been there, itching in the back of my mind.

FOUR FOR YOU SCIENCE WIZARD

YOU GO SCIENCE WIZARD

can we point out that he’s doing wandless magic too

like voldemort couldnt even do that shit

molly fuckin weasley couldnt fuckin do that

who are you

pretty sure this whole series has been about the wrong wizard guys

Plot Twist: He is able to do wandless magic because his comprehensive understanding of quantum physics means that he is the only wizard/witch to actually understand how magic works.

always reblog science wizard

always

My first shot at creating a sort of tutorial/guide, telling how I do things. On this initial chapter we’re going over the handy matter of Hands. Not meaning to be an encyclopedic explanation, only showing my own methods and self-taught clues. Hoping somebody finds it useful! :3 I’ll do more if this one is received well. So let me know~

My thanks also to the supporters in my Patreon campaign, who helped me decide which themes to focus on for a start. And are actually allowing this to happen. :D Cheers!

Betrayal!

Gasp!!!
