Tell me you are a GenXer without saying it. Well done.

NOAA helped notify whom they could (the Indian Ocean did not have a system set up) during the Boxing Day 2004 Tsunami. Had the countries along the Indian Ocean had a system, they could’ve been notified in advance of the waves & fewer than 250k people would’ve been lost.

I thought about that last night. They muzzled the women by one day just mass firing them and making them irrelevant.

Kind of like the federal government employees right now 💔

The Handmaid’s Tale was taken from real events. So it can easily be a playbook.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

Sadly, I’m not sure we have much of a choice. It’s on private land with a no trespassing sign up. I’m not a fan of anything you described but I’m hoping to record the names there so we know who was buried on the hill. My partner’s g-ma is 102 & wants to see it one more time, and it needs attention.

This one was so hard, I repressed it. It’s not in my list and yet I remember it like I read about those kids yesterday. 💔

I *feel* this.

My house is never cleaner then when I don’t want to write something I don’t want to write. lol

@danielloftus.bsky.social - while not in Ireland, in America the Tennessee Children’s Home Society is the closest I know to picture how your Mother & Baby Homes were run.

And in a similar vein, Jill Morelli has been working on Orphan Train riders for a while, too.

Today is a double day. Before We Were Yours was read around the same time as Before & After. Similarly moving stories, both stayed with me and I occasionally confuse the two.
