"The only thing the average reenactor loves more than accurately portraying life in the 18th century is: safety precautions. 'Safety—No. 1,' I overheard one Revolutionary War veteran remind a newcomer. 'Authenticity—No. 2. Have fun—No. 3.'" —Caity Weaver for The Atlantic https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2025/11/revolutionary-war-historical-reenactment/684317?src=longreads #history #America #RevolutionaryWar #reenactments

📅 This Day in History – Sept 21, 1780
Benedict Arnold betrays the American cause.
So here’s his cocktail:
🥃 General Regret

1 oz American Apple Brandy

¾ oz Passion Fruit Syrup

½ oz Lemon Juice

¼ oz Falernum

½ oz London Dry Gin (floated)

Dash Angostura bitters

Sweet and spiced like the colonies. Sharp with citrus.
Then floats the cold, dry betrayal.

Wittgenstein's Monster Sep 3

September 3, 1658 – Oliver Cromwell dies. But let’s talk about all four:

👑 Charles & James – monarchy, rule by birth
🩸 Cromwell – autocrat, rule by sword
✝️ Fawkes – zealot, rule by faith

They all wanted control.
None of them wanted you to speak.

But the Way?
The Way is from us.
Not from the one.
Not from power.

We are anti-power. We are all. We are the people.

Wittgenstein's Monster Sep 3

We mark these dates not to glorify battle, but to remember:
War does not begin with honor, continue with heroism, or end with victory.
It ends with loss. Always.

Let us never forget:
The real enemy was war itself.
