Woo!

A vertical, curved tree branch with two tufts of leaves and a branch extending to the right with a daffodil flower growing from it also facing toward the right. Pale green background.

I have a new logo! Drawn by me & with help from @kkagenealogy.bsky.social to polish it up. It's a daffodil flower (the national flower of Wales) growing off of a tree branch which represents the Welsh branches of our family trees. #Genealogy

The new Pope is from Chicago. So he’s “Da Pope”

No surprise that Chicago Pope was able to make it through all the arguments and petty feuds of Conclave voting. He's got a lot of experience with Italian beef.

This is incredibly cool: if you search for a condition that’s affected your family, the site returns stats on how much NIH has done for that disease, *and* a contact form for reaching out to tell your Members of Congress why you want to see them defend NIH.

Pass it on!

As a Katharine with an alive grandma who is arguably my best friend—This tracks.

The White House has begun process of looking for new secretary of defense The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

Regardless of how one feels about the Catholic Church or about Pope Francis, now is a time to come together to claim that JD Vance killed him

Taxpayers paid to have that research and data collected for OUR benefit. We OWN it not Trump and Musk. They have no right to purge any of it. I despise the Republicans for letting this happen. The elected Repubs are not doing their jobs or upholding their oaths. Nazis, all of them.

The Volunteer Data Hoarders Resisting Trump’s Purge Can librarians and guerrilla archivists save the country’s files from DOGE?

More than 130,000 government pages have gone dark in a purge that one scientist likened to a “digital book burning.” A group of librarians and archivists is fighting back.

Malort is in surplus. So, things haven’t gotten drastic.

Historians Defend the National Endowment for the Humanities and American Public Culture - AHA The AHA has released a statement condemning the evisceration of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Breaking Thurmond's record while talking about the Civil Rights leaders being called home is an incredible moment in America.

This is one for the history books.

Sen. Cory Booker—a Black man—just BROKE segregationist Strom Thurmond's record for longest floor speech in US Senate history.

Thurmond spoke for 24 hours 18 minutes in opposition to civil rights.

Booker has now spoken for 24 hours and 19 minutes against Trump's abuses against Americans' rights.

Ancestry has it all wrong. They should let us pay to block people.

For the love of god, don't do this. #genealogy
