It’s a great day to release the entire Epstein files.
I've never believed in having a monarchy. With what's been revealed in recent weeks about the Andrew formally known as Prince, there may be a few more people thinking #NotMyKing and will want to sign this petition (which only has 2 days left).

It's the last day to sign this petition to the UK government. It's leaped a lot over the weekend, but I'd urge anyone who hasn't to give a message to Keir Starmer and David Lammy by adding their names: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

I've been making donations to the Red Cross Gaza Appeal when I have had any left over money. donate.redcross.org.uk/appeal/gaza-...
It's been a while since I posted on here, but I would urge all of you within the UK to sign this petition and share the link. The petition ends tomorrow! Be on the right side of history!

Urgently fulfil humanitarian obligations to Gaza

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

"Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing?
Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring when tomorrow comes!
One Day More!"

Think the Christmas DNA kits are starting to come through on Ancestry. Had a few new matches this week, one is a very high match but I know exactly who they are. Doesn't help solve my mystery but sorts more from that cluster of cousins.

Glad to have put my religion as "Jedi" for the last three Scottish Census returns for 2001, 2011 and 2022.
After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.
Please estroy this myth and share if you have visited and researched in a library this past year! RT And give a shout out to your favorite library you have ever visited. #Genealogy #History #Library
I hope Elon likes all the incoming photos of Luna. I'm sure it'll make his day!

I take medication that is an antidepressant but it's for nerve pain. Not sure what nonsense RFK Jr. has come out with now, but a lot of medication is multipurpose. My sciatic pain has dramatically reduced on these tablets and the side effects aren't as bad as the last lot I was on.
Are there many #LastFM users on Bluesky? I use it for charting the music I listen to (if you have never heard of it). Feel free to judge my fairly eclectic taste in music.

Yeah, this is now all living descendants at the highest generation across Ancestry, MyHeritage, FTDNA, LivingDNA and 23andMe (not all are on all of them but I have been compiling information together to try to break this wall down). Thank you for your help 🙂
Yes, all of the cousins with a single common ancestor and those with a common couple all tie in. Two of mum's first cousins have tested too and it all suggests that there is no double connection (have mum's two sisters and another first cousin's results waiting to come in on Ancestry).
@macmmret.bsky.social not sure why it wasn't showing before.
