You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

Good Lord, Ep5 of #AmericanRevolution tells the stories of a lot of bloodbaths. #HATM
Makes me think of Renee Zellweger’s line in Cold Mtn: “Every piece of this is man’s bullshit. They call this war a cloud over the land, but they made the weather then stand in the rain and say shit, it’s raining!”

Betsy Ambler is a cool figure. She later joined other women in founding the Richmond Female Humane Association, which aimed to help poor white women and girls.
A great biographical essay can be found in "Virginia Women," edited by Cynthia A. Kierner and Sandra G. Treadway

My big question for tonight’s debut of Ken Burns’ American Revolution is whether the scholar’s name and credentials will appear EVERY TIME they’re on the screen or only the first time? We don’t have photographic memories, film folks.

A FIGHTER JET buzzed the protestors in Williamsburg, & the crowd near me agreed it felt intentional & ominous. THEN I found out about the trump AI video. Did anyone else experience this - particularly locations near an airforce base? Little Rock?

I worked on my research today at @thevalentinerva.bsky.social in #RVA!! They have great archives in addition to being a museum. I was in a rabbit hole on the portrait artist William J. Hubard. The museum has a newly renovated reading room for researchers, and it's great!! I recommend it!

Mrs. Fish is so messy! But actually, she’s calling out the hypocrisy of Mrs Astor & the rules of high society. She’s the hero!! She’s advocating for Aurora Fain, Mrs Astor’s daughter, and sooo many other women. Three cheers for Mamie Fish!! 👏🤩😎
