Two wholesome exchanges with the under-3 crowd at the cafe:
-A toddler came up to me holding a doll in one hand and a plastic dinosaur in the other. We played dinosaurs while she repeated “hi hi!” about 46 times.
-A stroller-bound kiddo yelled “Put your phone down!! 😡” at me while I was scrolling.

So I have been blocked by this guy, but this is my main point: As the partner of a Dutch political theorist who listens to him rant about this often, I must insist that we stop pretending like Europe is a leftist haven that isn’t dealing with its own rise in right-wing extremism.

Willamette Falls was an important site for many tribes in the area for centuries, before white settlers wrested control and slapped a bunch of factories & mills around it. Now that multiple communities are trying to create new public access points, the repercussions of that original land grab loom.
