Everyone upset about Google changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico should go make a review on Google Maps. Give the Gulf of America 1 star. #GulfOfAmerica maps.app.goo.gl/wPoZtEJWEvDd...

I found out that two of the doggos that I walk most days of the week are bilingual. They know English commands and Armenian commands. And the mom told me that one time she was walking the dogs and she told them something in Armenian and some people walking by said, "oh cool! They're bisexual!"

I'm doing research for a blog post about a school for my One Place Study. While looking through newspaper clippings I see that the teachers who we call student teachers here in the States used to be called cadets. And their time as a cadet was called a cadetship. #History #TeacherHistory

@packrat74.bsky.social I've got a book question. I have been trying to find an original of a book that may have only had one original run back in 1907. Depending on the number of books could it be next to impossible to find it?

Why would a census enumerator say that a person can read, but can't write? And the person is an adult. #genealogy

Finished with my pet clients. Now on to my genealogy work. I started creating research notes based on all the records I have for my clients. It is a lot of work, but I think once I start doing these from the start of my projects it won't feel as overwhelming.

The ban of TikTok is not about protecting US Citizens. It is about removing our rights. This is just another piece of our personal rights being chipped away. *Franchesca's video shares what the app has meant for her as well as her opinions why it has been banned.
