Man... that nap got out of fucking hand but my Docs finally came in and fuck they're glorious. Along with a new copy of Homage to Catalonia. A great book by Orwell about his time in a militia with socialists, communists, and anarchists when he decided all he wanted to do in life was kill a fascist. Funny thing about the Right Wing outrage about the statues.. Like a decade ago they threw a fit and ordered statues honoring the International Brigade to be removed.. but moral consistency is a bit much to ask from some people.. and that's that even pointing our their concerning comparisons of people like Nathan Bedford Forrest, Robert Lee and Jefferson Davis to MLK lol.
Also listening to Killer Mike earlier got me thinking to all the good things to come out of Atlanta, which of course made me think about the fine work Sherman did there and started rereading his correspondence with the mayor of Atlanta and General Hood.

Which now has me wanting to seek out books about the history of American Abolitionism, General Sherman in particular, and Anti-Confederate resistance in the south. Pepe Llula is perhaps one of my favorite characters in the history of New Orleans, and besides being perhaps the best duelist the US ever saw, he was staunchly anti-confederacy.
