A thought-dump from my blog titled, "Elections and Eggs":

The last several days have had me in deep reflection.
As someone who loves history and politics, I was excited for the November election.

In 1948, President Harry Truman decisively won the biggest upset victory in American presidential history. He won his election through a combination of decisive stances, bold moves, and a scorched Earth campaign throughout much of America.

A news excerpt of a letter from Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, dated August 16th, 1864:

"If our peace friends expect peace from separation, they are much mistaken. It would but be the beginning of war, with thousands of Northern men joining the South because of our disgrace in allowing separation."

My gender identity journey:

In 2018, when I was 15 years old, I began to question my gender identity for the first time. On September 10th, I came out as genderfluid to a close friend. By the 14th, I decided I was a trans girl rather than genderfluid.

Why I disagree with calling the American Civil War the "American Civil War":

A civil war typically refers to two rival governments fighting for control of the same nation, such as the Russian Civil War, or the Chinese Civil War, where both governments claimed to be the only legitimate government.

A thought-dump from my blog titled, "Men and Multitudes":

One of my favorite sayings is "Men Contain Multitudes".
When I think of people I know, or people from history, one of the things I think about the most is their contradictions. I think about my own the most.
