The case against Flock…
The government is claiming that Flock keeps us safe; that it solves crime; that it saves children; and that it’s completely constitutional… But is it?

Remember that time Flock CEO Garrett Langley went on a podcast and said we should trust our elected officials to represent our interests? Or when he said he believed in local democratic decisions?

@X I suppose I can keep going, because there’s just much… The chinking between the logs were a PITA for the old timers, which is one of the reasons they plastered over them in 1858. I believe they enlisted people from the “neighborhood,” including children, to help re-chink them

@X And I thought I’d point out that this thread made the news. Thanks for the interest, and for sharing. It’s been a lot of fun. https://t.co/nCsAPmOuZT

This 18th century window was hidden behind plaster. It predated glass being used and would have been just a piece of wood that opens or closes. Early 1800s, it was modified for a glass window. When they expanded the house at the rear with an addition, the window was no longer htt

Some of the shoes found inside the house, including some military shoes and boots from the Civil War. Cavalry boots were cut down to be used as shoes, and were repaired multiple times where they contact the stirrups.
One shoemaker form was found, as well as a matching Victorian

This is another Civil War era dress we found in the house that I talked my wife into trying on - though I couldn't get her to turn around for the pic. From what I was told, this was sort of a "day dress" for daily wear, made to get dirty, etc. It has a really tiny waist, which is

At first, I had no idea what this thing was. Then I realized it must be a compass, used to chart and measure distances. It appears to be blacksmith made of wrought iron - something fabricated on the frontier, since one obviously wasn’t available for purchase. It cleaned up https:

This is one of the creepier things I found in the attic. Old dolls, melted from the heat over a long period of time. This trunk hadn’t been opened since probably the 20s or early 30s, I’m guessing. https://t.co/Y2QUccYH6S

Is there a limit on how long a thread can be? Because I can keep going… And I don’t want to go back to discussing law for at least another 12 hours… This is the view from the fort this evening as I fed the cats.
This shows a mix of 1850s woodwork (originally over plaster) https

1780s “Artois” brass shoe buckle, which became popular in England in that decade, having been copied from the French. Not quite what you’d expect frontiersmen to be wearing in what was still essentially a war zone in this area at the time. But this proves that at least one of htt

ETA: My initial belief of the log addition being circa 1810, which I mention in the video, was wrong. I now believe it was at least circa 1790ish, or possibly earlier.

Here's video footage showing what Byrnside's Fort looked like on day one that we owned it - in April of 2019. We literally closed on the place and then drove immediately out there and started busting into one of the walls with a crowbar.
This actually shows that very spot, in h

This is really cool… I found this envelope in the house that contained a key. And it said, “keys to Major Samuel Clark’s sword case.” And I was like omfg and completely ransacked the house looking for the sword.

This is the hole in the ground that 90% of the ground finds came from. You can dig anywhere and find more, because they threw their trash in holes in the yard for 250 years. https://t.co/iHcpDKRTXX

It took me forever to figure out what this is. I’ll spare you all the wrong guesses…. It’s part of a “servant bell” system, from the fancier plantation era of the fort.
The iron spike would be driven into a log or timber and then a wire would run through the holes of the brass

Here’s a blacksmith made iron door latch I found in the yard - fancy hardware for an 18th century log cabin. I think this one’s known as a Suffolk Latch.
The attention to detail, just for cosmetic design, is unreal. To think it’s been in the ground for probably 200 years, is ht

The property also came with 4 barn cats, Bobby, George, Jerry and Momma Cat. I have to feed these little freeloaders daily. We also built them a heated cat house. https://t.co/yrbTSWmG5Q

The property came with two old draft horses, one 30 yo and the other 20. The farm was still farmed with horses until into the 2000s. But, I was told these two lazy ones never worked a day in their lives, mostly just being pets. https://t.co/NzMj95cdT7

Here is some of the furniture that was still in the house, circa 1830s-50s. Probably locally made.
The book cabinet very well may have been assembled in this room, because the one thing the prior owner tried to remove was that…. Unsuccessfully. https://t.co/DzMjJiEQxM

Here are some of the numerous forks I found - all two-tined with bone grips, usually decorated with a zig zag checkering.
I’ve done my best to restore and preserve them. As soon as they exit the ground, they begin to quickly further decay due to the oxygen. https://t.co/djRCofh

Here are some of the equestrian items I found in the yard. Virginia was horse country.
I found a 1780s document stating that “Timothy grass” was imported from England and grown here, even on the remote frontier, just to provide high quality feed to their expensive horses. https
