Yes! Like, I was staring at it for so long and couldn't figure it out, but as soon as she said it, I could read it immediately. It's crazy!

I thought of this afterwards, but that one quote about Charles Best I had I was only partially able to transcribe, but I posted it here and got help! bsky.app/profile/kati...
Requesting transcription assistance again! This comes from genealogy notes written in 1909 by the niece of an able seaman on the Franklin expedition.

I think I make out: "Went very young with Franklin to arctic. Mother was afraid he'd ??? away ??? so she filter him out."

And absolutely, I'd love to help (hopefully I'll be able)

Ask away whenever!

😭 That is such a nice thing to say! 🥰🥰🥰

I've been infodumping about my research to my family constantly because they have to put up with me lmao but I don't know anyone IRL who cares about polar exploration, so it was so fun to talk about it with people who do!

Terror Camp you have saved my life, I'd totally stalled out on the Best line but now I'm rejuvenated, reinvigorated, etc

Thanks so much 🥰
I blacked out lmao can't wait to watch it back and see what I actually said 🤣

That was really fun! Hopefully I was understandable with how fast I was trying to go at the start haha

Hoping to catch Merrily We Roll Along tonight but we'll have to see if I'm still awake by then lol

Go easy on me with the questions because I am very tired entirely of my own fault as I am terrible with time management and didn't finish my slides until 3am lmao

I will be in the chat for the next few days but I also find chat overwhelming lol

But for sure I will read back everything in the channel after my panel on Sunday!
