As education goes, so goes a nation. Please consider running to serve on your local school board. We may not be able to change what happens in DC, but we can influence what happens in our community. It would be an act of patriotism. #AcademicSky #EduSky
I think it's time to close that border.
Don't forget what a valuable resource your local public library can be in your #Genealogy research. I searched high & low for an obit but couldn't find it. Reached out to my local library, who contacted a library in another state. Found it on microfilm! Rec'd pdf last night! #PublicLibrariesRock
Speaking truth to power, personified. We need many more Al Greens right now.
Sooooo wish I was there! Anyone know of any good conferences scheduled for later this spring or summer? #Genealogy #familyhistory
So awesome, @shamrockgen.bsky.social ! Congratulations!
I'm green with envy! Really regretting not going to #RootsTech this year! Anxious to hear of your experiences & tips. #Genealogy
Spot on! Old newspapers are my go-to source when I'm writing a biographical sketch of an ancestor. The traditional documents provide the basic framework, but news clippings provide the flavor of the person's life. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #GenealogySky
So true! Context is everything. For example, maybe you know that several members of a family form specific letters in a unique way--an #AI tool isn't going to know that, you could recognize it and make an important discovery. #Genealogy
2/2 A 1973 fire destroyed many personnel records, primarily Army (1912-1959) & Air Force (1947-1963, Hubbard through Z). You will also need some key info to submit your request, so be prepared for that because you can’t save your request & come back later. #Genealogy www.archives.gov/veterans/mil...
For all my #Genealogy friends researching U.S. military ancestors, I highly recommend the National Personnel Records Center. It’s usually a free service, and you can submit requests online or through the mail. I’ve received a treasure trove of info! There are some things to keep in mind though: 1/2
I’m so glad to learn that I’m not the only one who obsesses over things like this! 😊
You can spend your whole existence trying to build up your reputation and good name. It takes only one really stupid mistake to tear it all down. We will never recover from what they're doing to our country. At least not in my lifetime.
And I suspect few countries will want to see Americans right now.
But other than all that, things are great again; right?
I actually think they believe privatization and AI are going to be able to run the country. I really do.
Exactly. Another example of just how addictive power and prestige must be. They'll sell their very soul to the devil just to be in the room or get tagged in a tweet. I almost feel sorry for them. Almost.
Exactly. As the leaders of the "Christian Family Values" party, they may need a refresher sermon in the Golden Rule.
Exactly. That means there had to be something in it for them. Either they have something on T, or they were able to "show their gratitude" by making a big contribution to a PAC that supports him.
Done. Breaks my heart, but it had to be done.
I did as well, but truthfully, I'm not celebrating. This newspaper used to be the "go to" source for investigative journalism. This is what money and the desire for more of it does to a free press.
Thank you, Apple and Costco! Glad to see at least 2 companies that still have some backbone and truly care about supporting diverse, equitable, and inclusive practices for ALL employees.
WashPo has fallen a long way from the days of Woodward & Bernstein. It's heartbreaking. I cancelled my subscription. Need to find a way to wean from Amazon as well.
Love your videos! I've found that even in the late 1800s & early 1900s, some children were just taken into households following the death of a parent. Census records show the child referred to over time as a son or daughter with no formal adoption. #GenealogySky #FamilyHistory #Ancestry
Thank you for your service to our country, @RepPettersen. You are a true public servant and we appreciate what you tried to do for those of us who don't have a voice. Please hug your precious one for me.
Yes it will, and not "just" for individuals--just think about how many nursing homes, optometrists, home health providers, rural hospitals, and the like receive a vast majority of their business from Medicaid patients. This will lead to even more closures.
I live in the sticks but refuse to get Starlink. What he provides he can monitor or take away. Isn't there SOMEONE who can utilize similar technology to build a competitive company? Why does Musk have a monopoly on the market?
Adding a thought here: Consider subscribing to a Costco membership that same day. Are there any others we should be patronizing?
In the tone of Chandler Bing, could these people BE more inept? This is a picture of arrogance and ignorance intertwined.
Good! They're counting on our respect for authority, norms, and belief in the greater good. Tragically, we must accept that those days are now gone. We have to stand up for ourselves, because apparently, no one else is gonna.
