Genealogist, birdwatcher, and more.... X threatens to suspend my account if I don't enter my date of birth, which I've done many times, so find me on Bluesky!

So fed up of the twaddle on Twitter (now known as X) and constantly being asked to add my date of birth when I've already added it. Thinking of defecting to another platform - but which is best? #AncestryHour

Oh dear! Just in case I didn't already have enough to do, I have inexplicably decided to input all my books to LibraryThing, so I can check whether I already have a book before buying it (an admirable aim but I mostly remember anyway) So, 100 books done, a million to go....

I remembered #AncestryHour ! And earlier today I noticed that RootsTech applications had opened (I know, I'm way behind) so I registered and am hoping I'll have time to join in

Watching the US presidential election results reminds me of watching the Brexit referendum results - complete disbelief and shock 😱
