I particularly liked this bit in the article:
Photo caption: "Red knit hats on exhibit at Norway’s Resistance Museum. Nazi authorities banned the hats on 26 February 1942. Photograph: Mats Tangestuen" Article explanation: "The Nazis outlawed red knit hats in February 1942, but Norwegians continued making and wearing them, and two samples are featured in the museum’s collection of “the most important aspects of the Norwegian resistance”, chosen by 25 members of the resistance, Tangestuen said."

If I didn't click the Notifications button on people's profiles I'd never see any posts from friends. It's not the same as old twitter but it helps :/

Howard Zinn: "To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. "If we remember those times and places–and there are so many–where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. "And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory."

(feathers can be seen vaguely through leaves) this seems less than ideal. perhaps if I turn.... nope. hmm.... (owl on fence post perch looks straight at camera, its black orbs depthless and unforgiving) I am STUNNED you thought that would be adequate for my ablutions (as owl flies off, a blurry photo of only a tail and two dangling owl-legs) that thing was half my diameter for chrissakes. beyond bad, no stars.

DIY hack: I turned a cracked trash-can lid into a mini pond to lure frogs over for garden photos and last night a barred owl tried to bathe in it?
(blurry owl perched on fence post) WHO put THAT there (owl leaps from perch) this requires closer inspection

photo of wild turkeys: a baby sticks close to two adult females the Synchronized Stalking heats: one adult and one baby swish through the underbrush. 10/10 from the judges, beautiful coordination after a blueberry snack, a couple of adult females escort 4 or 5 babies into the woods one eye on danger, the forward guard checks out the lay of the land. good posture, great gams

A yearling visited yesterday with its two mums, and I got 437 sub-optimal photos of them 😊

Filled with needles and covered in sap, the black hole valiantly trundles away

Somehow it is snowing again and there is a black hole in the back yard.
A porcupine (presumably named Trundles) clings to the branch of a small sagging pine tree. Fortunately Trundles regularly eats pine needles and bark. (photo mine)

J P Brammer: "Despite what it might feel like, the future remains malleable. Indeed, every potential future is a frail and unlikely thing. Some are more likely than others, but the one we end up in is the one we breathe life into. What we must do, what I believe we were put here to do, is to breathe life into the world we want to see, to commit ourselves to it, to resolve to walk in it, to live in it, to build it. There are things worth living for, and these things are bigger than ourselves, bigger than any one person. My advice is to find people who agree, and join your breath to theirs."

Today I'm putting together a puzzle of the Chemical Elements and eating too much homemade lemon cake. The Evergreen Tree Vole even made a brief appearance! At least, I'm pretty sure it was a vole. 🤔 It was an extremely brief appearance. Sending good thoughts to all 💞
