liberation genealogy, genealogical commons, mythbusting, large-scale genealogical networks, mathematical models in genealogy - no paywalls, no gatekeeping, no hierarchies

Seize the means of connection.
We use and need non-corporate hosts and repositories of public information — genealogy, geography and all else — for a reason. Truth is not determined by business relationships with the divide-and-conquer orgs that run our governments.

What U.S. #genealogy tells us about birthright citizenship.

It says 1/6, but that’s a maybe even though it’s in full elsewhere. I want to get a sense from followers first. Is posting segmented videos here (or videos at all) annoying (a potential limitation to this Skylight project)?

The Gulf of Mexico isn't even named after Mexico (pt. 1 as bsky / #skylight only does 60s and low-res for now)

As a genealogist I can only guide in explaining how we’ve been primed to accept their framing of inherited “illegal” status, not predict their precise actions. But anyone can conclude NS only needed Ahnenpässe last time because they didn’t have facial recognition, Palantir and Meta.

@skylight.social I’d love to beta test this.

The message is back. I keep closing the app and opening because “Continue” isn’t enough of a “fuck you” to the wording of the message. Make like a (crewless) Starship and explode, message!

I have no view spike so I assume this is my TikTok followers finding me. Thank you, and I hope this keeps going!

I'd like to express gratitude for 1,023 followers on TikTok (up from 31 this time last week). That's enough to fill one's 0th through 9th generation with ancestors!
