6 February – Sámi National day in Oslo 6 February marks the Sámi National day, and it is celebrated in Oslo. Check out Sámi events, where to eat reindeer meat, and where you can learn more about Sámi culture.

The other day was Sami National Day. My grandma’s family came over from Norway in the early 1900s, and were descendants of the Sami (Laplanders). www.visitoslo.com/en/whats-on/...

Back in the old Twitter days (RIP), I had an ongoing thread related to World War I munitions uncovered in various places around the world. Maybe I'll continue that here. I guess, these shells really do turn up almost everywhere...

Seth Harp’s book The Fort Bragg Cartel.

This book by Seth Harp was unimaginably dark, a searing and gritty investigation of the inner world of the special operations community. One of the most interesting books I’ve ever read.

Today, I stepped on a Lego. In my painful effort to shift weight to my other foot in order to relieve pressure from the Lego, I stepped on another Lego.

WHY did I buy a 100-year-old laxative tin from eBay? Because a blind WWI vet I’m currently researching for a new project was a pharmacist and patented his own laxative pill after the war, and I couldn’t pass up owning a piece of his history!

Episode 2 of #AmericanRevolution features free Black soldier Lemuel Haynes who enlisted in Granville, Massachusetts. My 6th Great Grandfather, Benjamin Barnes, served with him. They went to Roxbury and then Ticonderoga, the latter location where they first heard the Declaration of Independence.

Didnt realise this was out but I read an early draft and it was the best thing i've read on neurodiversity in years. It surely got a lot better by the time it was published. I'm excited to read the final version.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.
