the job of President was too big for Warren G. Harding and if there was an instruction manual, he couldn't find it.

I don't have anything to add to your totally unsolicited statement (everyone knows I just love being sent random, anonymous opinions) that had literally nothing to do with anything I've written recently.

BUT...believe it or not, there actually kind of IS an instruction manual for the Presidency. Jimmy Carter used to have a copy of this massive book in his office at the Carter Center titled "The Duties of the President of the United States of America".

In his wonderful 2004 book, Fraternity: A Journey in Search of Five Presidents (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO), Bob Greene writes about being shown the book by a Secret Service agent while at the Carter Center:

On a table was a huge hardbound book, and on its cover were the words: The Duties of the President of the United States. [The Secret Service agent] flipped it open. "Try learning that in two months," he said. I suppose I had never thought about it; I suppose it had never occurred to me that there was a manual. Because that is what this book was: an enormous volume filled, in minute detail, with the duties for which the President, as decreed by law, is responsible. Not the vague, all-encompassing responsibilities spoken of in civics books (or the Constitution), but the daily, department-to-department staff-office-by-staff-office tasks over which the President, at least in theory, has oversight. The book was like a combination motorcycle-repair manual/computer guide/university-doctorate-level encyclopedia; it was not bedtime reading or narrative history, it was nuts and bolts. It informed a President -- especially a newly elected President, getting ready to take office -- what was expected of him.

I'm dying to have a copy of that book. I haven't found it being sold anywhere over the years. I'm assuming that it was specifically printed and bound for the President. It looks like books that I have that were published by the Government Printing Office. They all are black hardcover books with gold print for the title, so I'm guessing that they are probably given to Presidents or important staff members in the Executive Office of the President. But I very much would like a copy. Hopefully the fine folks at the Government Printing Office or the National Archives sees this post and thinks that I deserve my own copy.

Every time someone talks about the military fraternization law with royai and says that “Roy will “just change it” if he gets promoted to fuhrer I lose years off my life.

#number one: fraternization laws are important and often protect people from abuse or coersion in places of a strong power imbalance #so no Roy would not just get rid of them #he and riza would want to keep those people protected even if their dynamic isn’t abusive #number two: if Roy were to become Fuhrer it’s a different system of command than the immediate superior officer of colonel and lieutenant #so forgive me I’m wrong but I’m sure there’s a position they could give Riza where she could still work with and guard him #while not breaking fraternization laws #anyways I don’t hc that they get together officially until way later in life anyway after Roy steps down as Fuhrer/president #that is if they don’t get executed #so ig I’m biased cause I think the whole bypassing frat laws thing is the least of their worries #fma #fmab #royai #riza hawkeye #roy mustang #fullmetal alchemist #fullmetal alchemist brotherhood #grace rambles #royai meta

PART TWO OF OFFIAL HEIGHTS: FIGHTABLE BOSS EDITION (Part 1 here)

The way I got the metric (because they CLEARLY don't use the same metrics as the managers) was so convoluted that you need to see the pictures.

Anyway official heights should be

VP - 12' 8

CFO - 12' 10

CLO - 10' 11

CEO - 13' 10

Still fucking massive, but not as big as some of the comics make it out to be.

I’ve been playing around a bit and currently the most recent updates are the pencilwork. Sadly I can’t digitize it since my computer doesn’t work with my Wacom. It’s only halfway backwards compatible (the screen works but the pen doesn’t.)

I need to work on Atticus and kelvin (the boiler) today but. College. Eek!

What Happened When a Fearless Group of Mississippi Sharecroppers Founded Their Own City

Strike City was born after one small community left the plantation to live on their own terms

— September 11, 2023 | NOVA—BPS

In 1965 in the Mississippi Delta, things were not all that different than they had been 100 years earlier. Cotton was still King—and somebody needed to pick it. After the abolition of slavery, much of the labor for the region’s cotton economy was provided by Black sharecroppers, who were not technically enslaved, but operated in much the same way: working the fields of white plantation owners for essentially no profit. To make matters worse, by 1965, mechanized agriculture began to push sharecroppers out of what little employment they had. Many in the Delta had reached their breaking point.

In April of that year, following months of organizing, 45 local farm workers founded the Mississippi Freedom Labor Union. The MFLU’s platform included demands for a minimum wage, eight-hour workdays, medical coverage and an end to plantation work for children under the age of 16, whose educations were severely compromised by the sharecropping system. Within weeks of its founding, strikes under the MFLU banner began to spread across the Delta.

Five miles outside the small town of Leland, Mississippi, a group of Black Tenant Farmers led by John Henry Sylvester voted to go on strike. Sylvester, a tractor driver and mechanic at the A.L. Andrews Plantation, wanted fair treatment and prospects for a better future for his family. “I don’t want my children to grow up dumb like I did,” he told a reporter, with characteristic humility. In fact it was Sylvester’s organizational prowess and vision that gave the strikers direction and resolve. They would need both. The Andrews workers were immediately evicted from their homes. Undeterred, they moved their families to a local building owned by a Baptist Educational Association, but were eventually evicted there as well.

After two months of striking, and now facing homelessness for a second time, the strikers made a bold move. With just 13 donated tents, the strikers bought five acres of land from a local Black Farmer and decided that they would remain there, on strike, for as long as it took. Strike City was born. Frank Smith was a Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee worker when he went to live with the strikers just outside Leland. “They wanted to stay within eyesight of the plantation,” said Smith, now Executive Director of the African American Civil War Memorial and Museum in Washington, D.C. “They were not scared.”

Life in Strike City was difficult. Not only did the strikers have to deal with one of Missississippi’s coldest winters in history, they also had to endure the periodic gunshots fired by white agitators over their tents at night. Yet the strikers were determined. “We ain’t going out of the state of Mississippi. We gonna stay right here, fighting for what is ours,” one of them told a documentary film team, who captured the strikers’ daily experience in a short film called “Strike City.” “We decided we wouldn’t run,” another assented. “If we run now, we always will be running.”

But the strikers knew that if their city was going to survive, they would need more resources. In an effort to secure federal grants from the federal government’s Office of Economic Opportunity, the strikers, led by Sylvester and Smith, journeyed all the way to Washington D.C. “We’re here because Washington seems to run on a different schedule,” Smith told congressmen, stressing the urgency of the situation and the group’s needs for funds. “We have to get started right away. When you live in a tent and people shoot at you at night and your kids can’t take a bath and your wife has no privacy, a month can be a long time, even a day…Kids can’t grow up in Strike City and have any kind of a chance.” In a symbolic demonstration of their plight, the strikers set up a row of tents across the street from the White House.

“It was a good, dramatic, in-your-face presentation,” Smith told American Experience, nearly 60 years after the strikers camped out. “It didn’t do much to shake anything out of the Congress of the United States or the President and his Cabinet. But it gave us a feeling that we’d done something to help ourselves.” The protestors returned home empty-handed. Nevertheless, the residents of Strike City had secured enough funds from a Chicago-based organization to begin the construction of permanent brick homes; and to provide local Black children with a literacy program, which was held in a wood-and-cinder-block community center they erected.

The long-term sustainability of Strike City, however, depended on the creation of a self-sufficient economy. Early on, Strike City residents had earned money by handcrafting nativity scenes, but this proved inadequate. Soon, Strike City residents were planning on constructing a brick factory that would provide employment and building material for the settlement’s expansion. But the $25,000 price tag of the project proved to be too much, and with no employment, many strikers began to drift away. Strike City never recovered.

Still, its direct impact was apparent when, in 1965, Mississippi schools reluctantly complied with the 1964 Civil Rights Act by offering a freedom-of-choice period in which children were purportedly allowed to register at any school of their choice. In reality, however, most Black parents were too afraid to send their children to all-white schools—except for the parents living at Strike City who had already radically declared their independence . Once Leland’s public schools were legally open to them, Strike City kids were the first ones to register. Their parents’ determination to give them a better life had already begun to pay dividends.

Smith recalled driving Strike City’s children to their first day of school in the fall of 1970. “I remember when I dropped them off, they jumped out and ran in, and I said, ‘They don't have a clue what they were getting themselves into.’ But you know kids are innocent and they’re always braver than we think they are. And they went in there like it was their schoolhouse. Like they belonged there like everybody else.”

"As President...I rise about 7 AM [and] write until breakfast...After breakfast prayers -- i.e. the reading of a chapter in the Bible, each one present reading a verse in turn, and all kneeling repeat the Lord's Prayer...From 10 to 12...members of Congress [have] preference of all visitors except Cabinet ministers. Callers 'to pay respects' are usually permitted to come in to shake hands whenever the number reaches about a half dozen waiting. Twelve to 2 PM, on Tuesdays and Fridays, are Cabinet hours...At 2 PM, lunch. I commonly invite to that [lunch] -- cup of tea and biscuit and butter with cold meat -- any gentleman I wish to have more conference with than is practicable in hours given to miscellaneous business. After lunch [I work on] the correspondence of the day, well briefed, and each letter in an envelope, is examined...then I drive an hour and a half. Returning I...take a fifteen to or twenty minutes' nap, and get ready to dine at 6 PM. After dinner, callers on important business occupy me until 10:30 to 11:30 PM, when I go to bed...There is no enough exercise in this way of life. I try to make up by [practicing] active gymnastics before I dress when I get up, by walking rapidly in the lower hall and the greenhouse after each meal for perhaps five to ten minutes, and a good hand rubbing before going to bed."

-- President Rutherford B. Hayes, on his typical schedule each day as President, personal diary entry, March 18, 1878.

idk if anyone has been paying attention but desantis fired hillsborough countys attourney general bc he made a statement saying he'd refuse to prosecute abortion cases except after he got fired tampas mayor made a statement saying she wouldnt direct the police to arrest violators of the state abortion law and just today the tampa city cousel passed a resolution to respect the privacy of people seeking abortions in the city. desantis is probably gonna try to fire the entire city government over this. this is both terrifying and exciting to watch

#that man is a wanna be dicator if he runs for president i am going to kill everyone in this state and then myself #the attourney general who got fired was a guy who refused to prosecute low level offenses too #and the new one (instilled by desatis) called that practice negligence and said she wasnt going to do it :/#like ok girlboss said someone to jail over a minor traffic violation thats definitely what justice is #anyways how is it legal to remove an elected official from office and fill that position w someone of your own choosing #thats not. democracy.#and neither is signing an executive order overruling a decision that voters made #(which desanis did. he overruled the vote to give felons voting rights :/)#sorry i had to rant about this its just. that man is an actual fascist and the reps favor him for president
