On 22 February 1943, three young Germans, members of the White Rose Society -- Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, and Christoph Probst -- were guillotined by the Nazis for distributing leaflets speaking out against the crimes of the Third Reich. Their bravery, and their cause, will not be forgotten.

Successfully managed a new project!!!! I had so many insecurities going into today, and I’m so glad I’ll never have to do this same thing for the first time again. From here on out, I know more of what to expect. 🤞🏼

This isn’t just restricted to the Midwest, btw. We’ve lost millions of acres of grassland on the east coast that is vital habitat for many species, the Northern Bobwhite, for instance. Some background info. Also check out the Southeastern Grasslands Institute. www.nps.gov/articles/000...

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

Fun real life moment today: A student is asking for help in the library media center to find a book. They say, “it is about a guy. They made a movie about it. I think it was a yellow book.” Any guesses?

A lot of folks are going folks lose their jobs regardless of whether or not they speak up. So the real question is, how do you want to go out? Cowering to these people or standing up and using your voice.

Well, food is about to get a lot more expensive, and I manage stress by info-dumping, so I'm gonna share some of the survival strategies I learned spending my first 30 years food-insecure: First: Cooking in large quantities and freezing some for later is more cost-effective than cooking every day
