MummyplaysMinecraft on that other place

I’m a lifelong genealogist and independence supporter (unrelated). I’m a cross between an old hippy, a disco diva and a classic rocker, lover of books, art, old maps and history. Mum to a 9yo, usually dumfungled 🤣
Can’t wait. Not a lawyer but I’m sure it will be a good opportunity to get everything out in the open 🤣

These kids will have gone through the trauma of the pandemic and now ICE. Their wellbeing has gone 😥 I worry about their adulthood resilience. A whole generation that has had their mental health negatively impacted in ways they may not be aware.

This reads like the sort of case that all future students will study in Jurisprudence 🤣

Definition debates, human rights, a lot of humour…and an underlying presence of authoritarian menace.

As a Scot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I echo your message and sentiment. Musk is, to put it politely, speaking a load of old tosh 🤬🤯😂

Or as we 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 would say to him “Awa a bile yer heid, yer talking’ mince”.

Always remember trying to shut my mum’s email/internet account after she died, as the monthly payments kept being made. They kept insisting they spoke to her. I was in tears yelling “she’s dead” in my grief. They still wanted to chat…

Wait til your 50s. Then you think things like "ooh, that's a nice container, it will do for all my pills and medicines” 🤣

Ancestry has poor search filters and terrible transcription, especially of the Scottish records they do have. I see many more bad Ancestry trees ahead if this comes to pass.

Scotland’s People is not perfect but it is an amazing online resource as it is.

YES 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 we never wanted to leave.

Tbh, I’m surprised that this hasn’t happened already. I appreciate it is harder for some than others as jobs are vital. But there are also others (around the world) that could help fund support. But it needs to be a general strike including private business. If they are hit, they can stop Trump.

I backpacked throughout the States a long, long time ago. But there was a curfew in DC in 1989. I remember as I was staying at the Youth Hostel and went to the 20th Anniversary Celebrations of the first Lunar Landing at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. Going was only possible through the hostel.

...there was another the same age, name and father's name already in Galway and her father had the right occupation. One was a boatman in Galway, the other a small farmer in Connemara. Obvious clangers are a ggrr but best fits need investigating by looking at the actual records. #Genealogy #rant
