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.

Y’all want Taylor Swift to be gay so bad but you won’t even write femslash about her

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.

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.

[I.D. an edited version of the "is this a pigeon" meme. A man with glasses, captioned "my overstimulated ass" points at a butterfly, captioned "someone making an annoying noise". At the bottom of the image, a dialogue caption reads "is this a crime deserving the death sentence?" end I.D.]
