Hi, #AncestryHour! I’m working on a friend’s #genealogy this week and suddenly need to improve my research skills re: Black History, especially Philadelphia (and The South, pre-Great Migration). It’s becoming my Black History Month project. Pls feel free to add your fave resources in the comments.

I’m really glad I read the article so that I understand those are worms on the tail valve and not MOUTH TENTACLES

Please hit me with your favorite annotated guides to Bad Bunny’s halftime show, trying to decide if I need to write one myself for the enjoyment of a 90-yr-old retired academic who watched it. TIA

Microwaving coffee to warm it up changes its molecular structure, creating "coffee 2", which scientists do not yet understand

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

I’m no expert on American football but I think things look bad for New England

I just ran into my beloved elementary and middle school music teacher and apparently she’s still teaching piano lessons, which I am now itching to run out and start taking again.

I hadn’t used it recently, but was wondering what up-to-date reference international relations/ foreign affairs people might be using instead these days?

It’s about time!!

PHIL, NO

I truly believe discourse about voters (especially those who may have voted for Trump) would go better on this app if everyone was using the spectrum of allies as a framework commonslibrary.org/spectrum-of-...

For the uninitiated, these are Irish Throwing Stars, an ancient weapon wielded by St. Brigid during the 1916 Rising, striking fear into the hearts of the British, and responsible for the eventual smiting of both Cromwell and Thatcher.

Never mind the job you had, tell me five classes you took in college. 1. Buddhism 2. Form & Analysis 3. Vocal Chamber Music 4. French Lyric Diction 5. Intermediate Painting Problems

I confess these vicious reviews are tickling my schadenfreude bone

Elon Musk last year: "Epstein tried to get me to go to his island and I REFUSED" Musk to Epstein emails: • “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?” • "I really want to hit the party scene" • "Is there a good time to visit? Story: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

I’ve stumbled on an interesting #genealogy story involving a famous person (not a family member of mine) who was supposedly in the Black and Tans. I’m wondering if I can verify this via the RIC records on Findmypast — or some other collection listing their names. #speirgorm #IrishHistory

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

Hello #AncestryHour! Please welcome my cousin Michael to BlueSky.

#SpeirGorm #genealogy folks, please welcome my Tipperary cousin @reymick97.bsky.social ! He earned his MA of Family History from U Limerick, runs some Garda History groups and Past-Links Genealogy Services, so he also belongs in the Genealogy starter pack(s).

Round two, 3 more hrs excavating yesterday‘s storm. Although I like to get things down to the pavement, certain portions are in the shade, and it continued to be heavy lifting. Very pleased that I cleared most of the access points and there is a safe pathway for me, my dogs and my mail carriers.

Hey y’all remember on Jan 6th when women got on Tinder in DC and honeypotted all those rioters and sent a good clutch of ‘em to jail based on shit they admitted to in the DMs? Look I’m just saying they got Tinder in MN.

Now finished a 2 hr round one of the snow removal process. It was disconcerting that the layers I did first had an inch or two of new accumulation by the time I was done.

already a little behind on my snow shoveling and sweeping plan due to the beagle bed warmer and staying up late for no good reason. Forgot a ruler on this first trip out, but it looks like at least 6 inches so far.

The kids don’t care about having to shovel.

This is one of the most insane protests I've ever been to. Tens of thousands of Minnesotans in -20°F (-28°C) cold with absolutely manic energy. We are going to throw these goddamn bastards out of our cities.

Hi #GenHour! Not much to report here aside from I Really Want a Nap Right Now, lots of snow shoveling & more upcoming. I’ve continued chipping away at my mystery 2nd great uncle David Walsh (AFN GHS7-DT4)’s family of origin, adding to the interesting questions at a higher rate than answers.

The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality. I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

if you're in line to hate america, stay in line!!

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'

And even with all that considered, the answer to” why aren’t people on the streets”? THEY ARE. IN SPITE OF ALL OF IT, THEY ARE.

People shot point blank in the face, Americans hiding in their homes terrified to go outside, people pulled from their cars, dragged out of their jobs, CHILDREN torn from their families. Save your “Europeans don’t like you” for somebody else and stop centering yourselves in our nightmare.

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.
