“For the first time in more than a decade, 2026 will see no women promoted to the US Navy’s admiral rank — even as women now account for one-quarter of all Navy officers, nearly one-third of the service’s midgrade ranks, and about 20 percent of the service overall.”

Saw someone refer to Bonne Maman jelly as something for rich kids, and I need folks to update their stereotypes and understanding of the shelf price situation. Bonne Maman isn’t rich, it’s midgrade now.

this is where I mention I wrote a Māori midgrade fantasy novel with a trans MC that we ended up taking to market *right* as Trump swept into office and every publisher got extremely gun-shy about trans books all of a sudden. I still have it. It'll probably never come out.
It's so weird that books can die on sub. You can write a whole book and your agent can take it out into the world and the world can go "nah" and now you've just ... got a book nobody wants? A year's work that's worthless?

this is exactly correct; the difference between midgrade mass-produced supermarket Turkish delight and artisan small-batch Turkish delight (which would have been the only type Lewis would reference for the Narnia books) is bigger than just about any other foodstuff
