Some little things I didn’t have space to mention in my post:

Some of the 2nd Dragoons also served as General Washington’s Life Guard.

An eventual commander in the 3rd Dragoons was George Washington’s nephew, William Washington

General “Light Horse” Harry Lee was one of the most accomplished cavalryman of the revolution, and his son was…General Robert E. Lee

I actually got Colonel Baylor’s diary on an inter library loan, but he barely wrote ANYTHING about the actual battles. Instead he’d write about the dinners he attended. Virginians gonna Virginian, I guess.

At Germantown, when the British turned the country house- Cliveden, owned by Philadelphian Judge named Benjamin Chew- into a fortress, Washington and his officers had a discussion on whether they should abandon the house and try to defeat the British some other way. Brigadier General Henry Knox, commander of the artillery, suggested to Washington that they keep the action at Cliveden and bring in the cannons.

Washington agreed with Knox’s decision, and this decision led to the army’s loss at Germantown. Tallmadge had his own thoughts on this matter, too good not to share:

“All attempts to dislodge them were ineffectual and although they would have been harmless in a few minutes if we had passed them by, yet through the importunity of Gen. Knox (which I distinctly heard), Gen. Washington permitted him to bring his field artillery to bear upon it without effect.”

So yes, Benjamin did not talk about his spy ring, but he did share some of his opinions, the petty bastard.

(And probably more, but this is what came to mind.)

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

The movie Wicked is proof that any source material can be vastly improved by simply making the intense female friendship much gayer + the mutual male love interest both wildly bisexual and lowkey down to just be their third

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

idk man. i just think itd be really cool if sign language classes were mandatory throughout primary school. yeah because it would make communication with deaf kids and autistic/nonverbal kids much easier. and those kids would be accessible to the others so they could make friends and have healthy relationships. yeah. and kids would eat that shit up man. like their own little secret language? they love that.
