I get that. I don’t ascribe much to it either. For me it’s more of a puzzle. My dad’s done a lot of work and has a extensive tree. I occasionally go digging for leads to fill in missing pieces that I feed to him to vet and see if they’re reliable enough to add.

No. I was right in the area years ago with my parents visiting some other sites of genealogical interest to my dad, but we didn’t know anything about her at the time. I just found that branch a few years ago and don’t have any plans to visit.

One other piece of perspective is that at that depth in the past we have 1,024 8th great grandparents. So anyone good or bad at that point contributed less than 0.1% to us. I assume the same would be true of your witch trial judge as it’s in the same decade.

I guess I headed into it knowing there would be bad things; a quarter of my family was from the south.😬 None of us can control who our ancestors are and I think it’s helped me explore and reflect more on history than I ever would have otherwise. Making history personal can help in learning from it.

I can relate. I discovered there’s a statue of one of my 8th great grandmothers in NH carrying the hatchet she used to kill and scalp her Indian captors in 1697. Reading accounts, the killing is kind of understandable, but the scalping and being turned into a folk hero for it is pretty f’ing awful.

My dad’s into genealogy so I’ve visited a lot of them and like the history aspect of them. Even if you’re not connected to anyone the stones kind of tell a story. As a designer I also think about the role they’ve played in the history of parks and designing land with therapeutic functions in mind.

I love the above ground cemeteries in New Orleans, so much unique character.

Do you think your feelings were formed by being made to visit? I had some distance from the grief associated with them by not losing anyone close until I was 18. I grew up playing in the cemetery across from our church and was kind of fascinated by the grave of a boy who died in a fire on our farm.

I want to be defleshed by beetles and my bones buried in an ossuary with an array of cryptic grave goods. I love the idea of confusing TF out of archaeologists thousands of years in the future.🤣 I’m not really keen on being embalmed or burned. I’ve always liked cemeteries and find them comforting.

I bet that’s what they intended when they put Ivory Coast whose flag is the reverse of Ireland’s flag and which has remained relatively neutral in the conflict from what I understand.

The first time I saw it, I thought it was a great concept poorly executed/ acted, but when I saw it again last Christmas, I was much more receptive to its charm and sentimental vibe and thought maybe I was too harsh the first time.

There is SO much competition for that title. It’s a race to the bottom.

Yes, but also a bit of “walk of shame” energy. The looking around and casually hopping away was kinda, “ I hope nobody saw me comin’ out of that box.”

Agreed. It’s both. Just like I’ve said about voting for Trump, it’s because you’re ignorant, evil, or some of each. Kayleigh 2.0 is definitely dumb and a liar.

It’s definitely broke and tiny. That pistol’s doing a lot of compensating.

Everybody’s saying it’s broken already. His fans are almost as bad as the other microdicked fascist.

Sounds good. I’ll have to try that sometime.

It is funny that beef and chicken with noodles seem so natural, but pork does not. Wonder why it never became a thing. Even growing up in Iowa I don’t think I’ve ever seen it, but we also had beef cattle and chickens. Maybe my neighbors with hogs were eating pork with their noodles.

But it’s a secret deep state program. They just have to hope Elon finds and fires those responsible for the clandestine chicken jab directive before they get vaccinated against their will by their Chicken McNuggets or an Egg McMuffin.
