First, they came for the trans people, and I spoke out immediately even though I'm straight and cis because I've read the rest of the fucking poem.

I have started a starter pack on the History of Women in War and Armies / Gender and War. If anyone wants to join or be eliminated, please drop me a line! I will be adding to it over the next few days!

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

I have to say, I have been covering intelligence and national security since the Reagan administration, and this is one of the most mind-boggling stories I have ever read. Team Trump is setting new records for stupid.

Hi, that sounds very interesting. Thank you, this will be of great help. I believe the Norwegian nurse could be Aagot Magnussen, from Moss. I think some of her letters home were published in Norwegian newspapers (I have them somewhere).

Minner fra besøk på slagmarken. Over ruinene av de franske festningene ved Verdun vaier tre flagg: det franske, det tyske og det europeiske – ikke som en påminnelse om at historien gjentar seg, men som en påminnelse om at Europa er et valg. Et valg mellom samarbeid og ruin, mellom politikk og krig.

I løpet av de neste månedene skal jeg skrive ferdig en innføringsbok om Første verdenskrig. En konflikt som fortsatt preger verden i dag.
Forvent sporadiske oppdateringer, nerdete digresjoner og sannsynligvis en voksende frustrasjon over hvor mye det fortsatt er å skrive.

Stemmer, mange i presse, politikk, og myndigheter som satte likhetstegn mellom spion og jøde. En av dem var sjefen for det norske Opdagelsespolitiet.

Litt akademisk husarbeid fra 2024. Nik Brandal og jeg om Norge som propagandaslagmark - ikke i dag, men under første verdenskrig. Påvirkningsagenter og spioner, ikke så ulikt den verden vi lever i nå medietidsskrift.no/wp-content/u...

Unfortunately it’s only in Norwegian, but I am working on an article about her and the other Norwegian nurses who worked in Serbia, and that will be in English

So, where do I start? Perhaps by saying something about my current research into Norwegian women who volunteered as Red Cross nurses in Serbia in 1915. Here is one of them, Elisabeth Wolff. Here she is telling a Norwegian newspaper about her experiences.
