And me with my black nails. #synergy 💛💛💛

Ha! Boo-yah! (Generic hard solve boo-yah, not an at-you boo-yah). That’s just made my day! Glad to finally meet you. 😃

Oh hey, lookie there… (gotta say: Willie’s granddaughter Donna had really done her homework, she just hit one of those walls where you need a professional genealogist [aka an obsessive weirdo] to run the ball the rest of the way.)

Were you one of the folks assigned to see if you could poke a hole in the Mississippi-to-Memphis paper trail? If so, I’m terribly pleased it got by you. 😃

Chapel Hill, Orange County, North Carolina. 1870. Thomas C. Davis, 72, kept himself busy by living wherever he pleased. Aspirational. #censusnonsense #genealogy

Came to the comments looking for the other three people who wish Terra Nova had gotten at least another season, comments delivered. 🍻

Is it too soon to say Lower Decks?

Still embarrassed for walking almost right smack into him at a museum in LA last year. Then I was like “oh! I think I know him!” Started to ask if he used to know so and so—then I realized: no I do not know him. 🤦🏻‍♀️ (Luckily shut my mouth before anything other than “Oh! Sorry!” came out. But still.) 😅

Just in case Howard Lutnick gets a permanent spot in the administration, bookmark this. #resistancegenealogy

Yes! And Google Wave too!

Yes! I’ve ruffled feathers before when extolling virtues of checking coverage before assuming an individual was “just missed” or “not there,” but it really is so, so easy to forget. It’s as if we get so hung up on “oh come ON, where ARE you?!” that the determination overrides our knowing better. 🤓

Saw this in person at the Ransom Center in Austin a long while back. So cool. 😍

Y’all dunking on these clowns was the last best thing on That Other Site when I went dormant over there however long ago. 👏

AI is my bestie when I have to craft a bunch of basically the same citation all at once. I mean, mail merge could technically do the same basic thing, but it’s more intuitive to create as an AI prompt. (Bonus: no MS Word!)

Okay, so, not to ignore the substance of your advocacy or anything, but this is a really great candid. 📸

“THE EVERYTHING”
#noeditbutton ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not to brush off the real damage the dingus circus is gonna do for the next four years—just saying the everything in the world is still more good (or at least neutral) than bad. That’s how. 🍻

…

(Also, look what happened after Cleveland’s second term ya know?) 💅

Listen, it’s taken me the better part of a year to shake off the cynicism that nearly ate me alive: most of the world is good (or wants to be) even when rull bad people get a big win.

Broad Top Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, 1870. I feel ya, Susan. 😴 #genealogy #norelation #justfunny #littlesadtoo #butalsofunny
