Listen, if you’re a man / bot newly joined who is only following women, don’t bother to add me. I’m not your demographic and I’m only going to block you anyway. [Though I am going to mine your follows for more genealogy people and authors I like before blocking you.]

The president is such a bumbling idiot he thinks tweeting out the word "hereby" a couple times on his white supremacist social media site is the same thing as making an actual law.
The only story here is the one about a mentally diminished, increasingly erratic president who thinks he's a king.

It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

#genealogy #history #maps Anybody know an answer to her question or have an idea of where to search?
Odd question and I'm not sure if there's an answer. In the U.S., once Rural Routes were put in place for post delivery, many people would just have the address "RR1" or "RR5 Box 178". Is there any way to find out these old routes? I do have some land records, but I am looking at people who rented.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Haven't received as many contributions as usual for this year's lists--could be many things, but one aspect is surely that our ability to get this in front of people is much diminished. If you know folks whose stuff should be on here, please suggest it! contingentmagazine.org/yearly-pub-l...
