I received an amazing photo of Filipino officers playing my "Littoral Commander: Indo-Pacific" at the Philippine Marine Corps Force Development Center! The game was designed to cultivate professional development and learning in units. So this is the dream come true. #wargaming

Good training walk for the #norwegianfootmarch hosted by #EIU ROTC next month. Next week I'm going for a 9 mile walk with a 12+ pound pack.

Batch sewing SewHungryHippie's Santorini totes in purse sizes this weekend. Set a goal to not buy any new fabric this year, so I'm burning through my fabric stash!

One of my commitments to this calendar year is to systematically purge, and find creative ways to sew through my fabric stash.

Scrappy zip pouch #1, made from fabric scraps and precut foam squares someone gave me when they were cleaning out their MIL's stash.

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social

Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

This is becoming absurd—federal employees are now being told to remove pronouns from their email signatures. We will always stand by our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, no matter how many things we’re asked to delete or change. Inclusivity is at the core of who we are.

Sewing brings me joy and quiet satisfaction. And since I started sewing ona #vintagesewingmachine -- a Singer 128 -- I have had so many flashes of memories of learning to sew on my mother's old 1960s machine.
