Yeah, the RvW situation is very upsetting. I have Plan B pills for my niece in Tennessee. Which Brother doesn't want to acknowledge she might need them. So, uhg.

Interview on Friday went well

went out for SCA thing

good demo, but OMG was it hot & a long long day

Had pizza yesterday, which was delightful

it is striking how much the Things look like their respective-side parents in that photo

Interview?

About to head out for brunch 😁

we are hiring a new MT person

so I was interviewER not EE

Hi

Ah

Hey

today in: damn!

I finally dug far enough to find the royal!

Yeah!

I take it that's an SCA reference?

Nope

Ancestry

John the Worst First

Oh.

I mean, it is SO far back

You are related to Prince John of robin hood fame?

Correct!

which means I am ALSO related to ELEANOR

"Of course he has a knife, he always has a knife, we all have knives! It's 1183 and we're barbarians!!"

OH hey, you might be related to Katherine Hepburn

Trivia : Katharine Hepburn portrayed her own ancestor. She was descended from Eleanor of Aquitaine in numerous lines, from both Eleanor's marriage to Louis VII, King of France, and Eleanor's marriage to Henry II, King of England.

so if I understand that right, you might be releated to Hepburn! 🙂

Hey Rahne

Hey, Mr. D. Huggs

How are you doing? hugs

I am a seething mass of incoherent rage. You?

Despairing for women particularly some dear friends who seem to be second class citizens now. In a country I once respected. I may wear black for the 4th of July

Yeah, I was thinking about that, too. And turning my back when the Star-Spangled Banner plays.

...so I can stare some self-righteous guy right in the face.

the only good news out of this is I have a godneice who NEVEr votes.

She's voting this November because of this

It probably won't matter in TN, but if it shakes enough people out of lethargy, maybe it will help overall?

Finding out that Eleanor of Aquitaine was my 24-Greats Grandmother has improved my day.

I don't think anything less than a mass exodus is going to rattle politicians of some states.

It should, Catnik, she was a bad ass

That is So You, Catnik. 🙂

My mother said that I'm a cousin of William Wallace, but I haven't traced that.

I was just trying to figure out my scottish ancestry

it's messy

Ergo, Scotland.
