Finally had a look at findleo.ai for transcribing old documents, and I'm impressed!! There was one word I was stuck on in a will, and it's "reclining" ("the large painting of a Lady sitting in rather a reclining attitude") and yes, I intend to try to track this painting down!

If you're headed to Edinburgh Fringe Festival, I can recommend @lesliegold.bsky.social with Tall Girl Energy! I went to a preview show this week and it's fab.

Genealogy & archives folks, any of you tried Transkribus yet? (AI handwriting transcription tool). It's not awesome on it's initial pass on an 1807 will written in the classic old English style of handwriting, but I'm hoping it'll learn well enough that I can transcribe other long wills at speed!

Is it weird to have a crush on a travel search website? Cruiseplum has AMAZING 'power tools' that I am very excited to try out.

Cruising is a great for neurodivergent travelers - it's very safe & structured, food is all taken care of, and many lovely destinations without re-packing!

Happy #Caturday evening from NSW, Australia

When you get the #autistic urge to skip the traditional festivities at home and give in to the #ADHD urge to travel instead…

Clearly I don’t use Dropbox mobile app much (or the older notification is some technical hijinks)

Ah crap, forgot the photo (SEE?! Focus is HARD) .. and the other one isn't an ADHD meme but still makes me laugh as an introvert :)

These are a native Australian mushrooms … a little less cute, more sinister 😂

One of my recent genealogy research successes was travelling to the small mountain town in British Columbia where my grandfather spent some of his early years. New questions arose but I did get this photo from the local archivist. He (middle) was 20 here, and emigrated to California not long after!
