Happiness is a big envelope. Got my Grandfather’s DC…somehow always thought COD was heart related. Turned out to be a massive stroke. He was young too, only 67. #Ancestry #Genealogy

Can we hurry up and launch Muskrat into space?

Worth a read. Great explanation of what the US archivist does, and why the firing of the archivist without notice (as required by law) matters. #genealogy

Let’s make it National Federal Workers Day instead.

My copy came today from bookshop.org. I can’t recommend this book enough @spinsterbooks.bsky.social

A very important mystery #genealogy folks. Anyone with useful expertise here?

If someone has a WWII draft card, but they were rejected for service for physical or developmental reasons, would there still be a record of that? What would that be under? #FamilyHistory #Genealogy

I have a bad feeling about this.

Free Online United States Immigration Records - Updated Looking for Immigrant ancestors? 1,275 total links to Free Collections which include Passenger lists, alien declarations, ship manifests, etc. Immigration Records are chock full of very useful #genealogy information. https://buff.ly/4aq97Ty

If on Facebook, check for a forced follow to White House, Trump, Vance or Melania. Go to settings->activity log->connections->followers. It'll show you what you've followed by date. Under Jan. 20th 1 or more of those pages will have you following it. This isn't just following WH and it switched.

How it started…. How it’s going. 📍Funny how an oligarchy works when you come back into power.

After a walk in the snow with the dogs and a hot lunch, it’s time to curl up and read. The movie mostly follows the book, but there was so much more to Oppenheimer. It’s a long, long read. #BookSky 💙📚

I was pleasantly surprised this morning for our first significant snowfall of the winter. Better two months late than never.☃️

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

My grandparents researched #genealogy by using telephone books and sending questionnaires to everyone named Odom, Griffin or Richardson in certain areas. I found a cousin near where I used to live and I’m too shy to reach out.

“My equal partner in everything.” - President Jimmy Carter, about his wife of 77 years Rosalyn 😭❤️ An American treasure has left us—our 2025 mission to combat fascism and evil should be to “do it for Jimmy”. 🫡 #RIPJimmyCarter

It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. I sell pins, stickers, compression gloves, artist gloves, binders, wrist braces, compression socks, hoodies, compression leggings & more! Store details below!

One of my favorite #genealogy finds was my close relative Robert Renbert Wilson who helped create the Political Science department at Duke University. I hope someday to dive into his collection of papers archives.lib.duke.edu/catalog/uawi...

I keep reading "Mega" (mega-size, mega-sale) the wrong way and first thinking "Dear God, why have they gone "Maga"?!?

All I got for Christmas is sick. Trying to use the time wisely but #Ancestry keeps burping up the same hints over and over. I'm hoping to untangle Richardson and Galbraith, not just click ignore all night. #Genealogy

Political shirt for Christmas Eve day.

Here's a passage from today’s post about why you should all unite against the billionaires. Read the full piece here and consider becoming a paid subscriber to support my work: www.thegodpodcast.com/p/thou-shalt...

Another day, another school shooting. 4 dead in Madison WI.

Here’s the truth: making billionaires pay their fair share would strengthen Social Security and Medicare for generations.

Universal. Healthcare. NOW!

So like…

Mood.

Universal healthcare isn’t radical. Every other wealthy country has at least some version of it. Americans want their country to catch up and recognize healthcare as a human right.

Dictatorships don’t happen overnight, y’all. It takes years to undermine a democracy and beat it into submission. But it’ll happen a lot faster if you give up now. We are going to have to stand in the way. All of us. If we do that, they won’t get there. Be a cockroach. Be indestructible. 👊

What was the tipping point for you with US health insurance? Would you say it radicalized you towards the need for universal health care?

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane. We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

Trying to calm my nerves as youngest kid flies home from the east coast. Deboarding due to maintenance issues isn’t helping. At least they found it now I guess.😬

The ovulation tracking app, "Ovia", now mandates you identify what state you live in. Delete immediately and warn other women.

As someone on SSDI I can't tell you how it hurts to listen to people speak about Social Security and Medicare but fail to mention the populations who subsist on these programs: Seniors: 77.8% Survivors: 11.2% People w/Disabilities: 11% It's very crucial in our messaging to ensure EVERYONE is seen.

WE WILL ALL STAND TOGETHER AND FIGHT WE WILL USE OUR VOICES UNITED TOGETHER SENATOR THUNE UNDERSTAND that WE the PEOPLE will not stay SILENT Elon Ramaswamy Trump this has been there plan Cuts to the PEOPLE tax cuts for the oligarchs HANDS OFF SOCIAL SECURITY AND OUR HEALTHCARE

From the first term... still true.

It’s a balmy 30F, good for a short walk on a long Lake Superior beach.

Still my favorite shirt.

This will always be true.

Finishing my other library book. This one stayed with me a lot more with a theme of an introvert aging in place at first. The title was pure marketing, look up the word and it’ll take you to info about the book. As always #SupportPublicLibraries

I have family who are often in hurricane crosshairs, so I'm waiting anxiously to see how bad tRumps FEMA appointee will be. Not sure it's possible to do worse than Michael Brown, but I'm half certain tRump will toss emergency management back to the states.

FACTS: Trump did not even get 50% of the vote and he won the popular vote by the smallest margin since 2000 and his margin of victory was one of the smallest in the last 100 years. #ResistTrump

This is Della. She passed away this fall at the young age of 14. I will forever miss her.

Fresh produce options suck this time of year here. Ive stocked up on what I can, and replaced any big ticket items. Tariffs or not; I plan on not being a good little consumer the next 4 years.

We finally got a tiny amount of snow!
