How To Start Your Family Search, Part 1.

You could start your family history search with doing a DNA test. But I suggest starting with writing down what you already know about family members from the past. The DNA test wait time is six to eight weeks so in that time ask others in your family what they know or remember; parents, if still living, and siblings. And don’t forget asking aunts and uncles and cousins. Their stories will help…

5 Ways to Get a Certified Copy of a U.S. Birth Certificate

Initially, a birth certificate can seem like a simple document. However, this piece of paper is incredibly important and often required throughout someone’s life. A certified copy of your U.S. birth certificate can serve as proof of your identity. You can’t use an informational copy of your birth certificate for verification purposes. Because of that, most people require copies of certified birth…

As funny as it can be to joke about the mess™ that is currently twitter, it's super depressing to see so much digital history destroyed because a billionaire is having a temper tantrum.

Decades of news, public reactions to political scandals and first hand accounts are suddenly erased, not to mention all the art that is now completely lost. It's all gone --just because of one man's fragile ego. It's actually really tragic to think about.

just for the record, the Lilith myth undermines so much of Christian theology as to be on par with Dan Brown's myth of Jesus being married to Mary Magdalene. No Christian is obligated to 'respect' it or regard it as anything but cheap, no matter how Jewish or medieval it is.

Hey, I saw your post on feeling excited to eat and I just want to say that's amazing! I know so much hard work went into feeling that. 💕

(I didn't want to reblog in case that would make you uncomfortable )

This is so sweet of you, and I really want everyone to know that it can get better, little by little. When you celebrate the little things, it really does come together <3

um hi ok so

im not part of the fandoms you write for

but i like listening/reading to people talk about things

and you asked for asks soooo

tell me about whichever au is hitting the brain itch right now?

feel free to ignore this or anything sorry

have a good day!

Ignore? And pass up a blank check to talk about my AUs????

My Married…With a Supercarrier Halo AU has taken up a disproportionate amount of real estate in my head for over a year now. It’s domestic fluff on a spaceship. Domestic fluff is not a preferred trope of mine, but there’s something about putting it on a spaceship 🤣

This AU is my highway to rarepair hell, because nobody else wrote for it before I did. At least, nobody on AO3 or FFN. I like finding the niche pairing or trope no one else is doing and dragging people into insanity with me. MWAS is also pretty accessible to non-Halo fans. About half the people who read it aren’t in the fandom and just caved and read the fic one day because I won’t shut up about it.

Established relationships are terribly underutilized, and I really enjoy exploring a relationship that has survived a lot and is still standing. Fidelity is where you find the real drama.

There’s also my Angel-117/Vital Record Halo TV AU, which is more thought and headcanon than actual fic. But By Your Leave, my second fic in that series, is one of my best Halo TV stories.

I think the take-away from my near death experience is that I am simply unkillable

bucktommys being mad on here is perplexing bc 1. tommy was racist and never made steps for reconciliation with hen or chim for being racist and dismissive *to them* despite being back tangentially in the 118’s community 2. tommy and abby would’ve dated and been engaged in like 2015-2017? which made josh’s weird excuse of a speech for why tommy used abby as his unknowing beard and deeply hurt her just so lack luster. growing up in a “pre-glee” era? this show is not serious, it is a silly ryan murphy show about hot people and zany emergencies, but that is not good form justification from a grown gay man to a recently out bi man for another grown gay man acting like that in the very recent past. in *los angeles, california*. geography does not determine all of your socializations and acceptances, but it sure has some effect. that man sucks and used being in the closet to lash out at other people and never attempt to reconcile.

i still haven't gotten anything back from support so i'm not going to be using this site again today but like. i want to complain real quick about everything being closed on Sundays. i genuinely think people deserve to be able to pick the day they want off and that it's deeply inconvenient and nonsensical for so many vital things to be closed for an entire day, especially when it's a gov. service that they Could automate or semi-automate but refuse to do so

So for reasons I'm sure I'll never comprehend my fascination with SJM books continues. But I don't want to buy them and my relationship with libraries is... uh... anyway I've been hoping to find a copy in one of the dozen Little Libraries in my neighborhood.

I'm trying to summon it by sheer force of will.

So far we have a book that looks like one of them. But we currently have landed a little to the left of success

I've see this often grouped with SJM (or marketed as somehow superior).

Why am I reading this when I am not in the mood for a romance novel??

...I too am sitting here pondering the answer to that question. I do not know. Recently romantic relationships have been registering as annoying and distracting from the plot. I blame 5 broken blades but it might just be because that book hit critical mass and I was only happy at the end.

I just think having me sit through 3 different flavors of pining/forbidden love was cruel and unusual. And I was rooting for some of them to die. Sue me.
