I just had a baby squirrel in my apartment.

I caught him in a cat carrier.

I'm sure I will have more to say once I mentally recover from this experience. For now, here's Sparky.

Are you there God? It's me. Lena.

#Introduction: I’m a #history professor focusing on 20th-century #Europe, with a particular interest in the comparative history of #nationalism and of responses to Nazi aggression. My most recent book is Occupied: European and Asian Responses to Axis Conquest, 1937-1945 (Cambridge University Press, 2023). I’m also a co-editor of the two-volume Cambridge History of Nationhood and Nationalism, which was likewise published in 2023.

I just love the seedhead of #dandelion.

Pick them, make a wish or just leave them be. It’s entirely up to you.

When you take a close up look, their structure is quite extraordinary. So detailed and delicate. So beautiful in their own unique way, of course.

My wish (or mantra) is often;

“You are enough…

You as SO enough.”

- The ‘Universe’.

Happy #Canada Day, everybody!

The world is a better place because it has Canada in it.

I bet when Twitter finally goes down for good it'll be because Musk has a big red "Kill Twitter" button installed so he can freak out his employees by constantly pretending to press it and then accidentally stumbles against it while acting out the SNL cowbell sketch.

President Biden should invite Rep. Zooey Zephyr, the trans legislator silenced in Montana for speaking truth to power, to the White House. Just like he did the #TennesseeThree

Introducing you to Takoma Park, MD elementary school librarian Charles Sutherland, who took it upon himself to spray-paint GROOMER on two public libraries during Pride week - likely because the libraries held Pride events.

What did police find when they searched the home of Sutherland - a single man with no children, nieces, or nephews?
-diapers
-children's dolls
-a child-sized, life-like doll, in Sutherland's bed
-child porn on his laptop

Sutherland is number 113 on our list of bigots, fascists, and far-right extremists who are also child sex predators:

When far-right extremists scream about groomers, it's #projection

Good cautionary tale about judgment-rushing, which is a temptation to all of us.

You probably already know about Penzey's wonderful spices, but did you know they also have a true heart and noble soul. This message to their Republican customers is like a polite Midwestern-nice punch to the gut, including a gentle but firm dropkick into the next county https://www.penzeys.com/shop/about-republicans/

Every person is created in my image and deserves love and respect. Trans people are an important part of my diverse and beautiful creation, and I cherish them just as they are. #LoveWins #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Dogs are always there for you. You can put your dog in the trunk for an hour and they’ll still pop up, wag their tail and look at you like they’re saying, ‘Hey, there you are! I’ve missed you!’. You just can’t do that with a bestie or a spouse.

I'd MUCH rather have seen this on 60 Minutes than Marjorie Taylor- Greene

Please. Give what you can. Conservative men are suffering.

When you see something at an independent store that costs a little more, try to remember that Amazon & eBay don't buy ads in the local football program, Wal-Mart won't donate prizes to your silent auction and Target doesn't have kids playing little league in your community. Small business owners DO and they offer better customer service because they do it face to face. Support you local small business owners. The back bone of this country!

Kindness is underrated.

Do you know anyone with a kid in the #PDX area that is interested in the violin but having trouble affording a rental/purchase? If so let me know - I have two kids violins that we don’t need anymore. I am looking to make sure they fall into the hands of someone with needs or if not will probably donate them to one of our local middle schools. #PDXtst #Portland

"...In 1975 women of Iceland went on strike for equal rights. 90% of women walked off their jobs/homes shutting down the country. Men could barely cope. 5 years later, Iceland elected first female President..."
