Yeah, there are two history.org pages that have photographs of a young Andy Blake dressed up as a reenactor - fortunately they're still in my browser history. Item 1, Item 2. I can't even remember where I saw these pages linked (I guess somewhere around the same place I saw this post linked - wherever it was was using them as a demonstration of how it was not at all true that Blake grew up in an isolated rural area with little opportunity for social contact). And, mybad, the pictures denote a Christmas job, not a summer one, though that was probably not the one and only time he was reenacting? who even cares.

That text file is special. BLOOD ON THE PALMS OF HIS HANDS.

Seriously, this post is great. I love how you've drawn out all the narcissistic triangulation. It is kinda sad how much he reeks of gender-essentialist misogyny.
