Ronald Reagan is still dead and that makes me giddy

If light particles behave differently when observed, and the only things that can be fully "rendered" are what we directly look at, but you wonder how particles can KNOW they're being observed; that's sentience? But we're just particles & we have sentience, too. So, is all earth the same particle?

Dr. Rubeliz Bolivar Barrios has been released! She should never have been locked away by ICE. As an emergency and trauma doctor, she served patients in South Texas with dedication. I am grateful that she will be reunited with her 5 year-old daughter Milena and husband.

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

I don't know why I keep deciding to do stonemasonry in my yard. I - just - keep - going. Like an otter, I spend my day picking rocks for my pockets.

Epstein's 50th birthday book has many threads. I pulled one of them, and encountered another "ranch" in the 1980s. Whoops. youtu.be/ryKGmZCRa2A #Epstein #Networking #Kinship #Anthropology #Crime #Trafficking

Just checking in on my account. Lol. Is it still only 3-min length videos, here?

Ronald Reagan, a cold man who ignored the AIDS crisis because he was a homophobe and craved the votes of other homophobes, is *not* a reminder of anything good or decent.

Read this. Then read it again.

Alisa Dmitrijeva's body was found on the Queen's Sandringham estate in 2012 by dog walkers, decomposed to the point where she could have been there for 4 months, deliberately placed, and the case is still UNSOLVED. With everything going on today, *maybe* revisit this? #epstein #andrew #trafficking

“Get insurance companies out of it. We don’t need a middle man. They’re like the mob, taking their cut off the top.” @RepTimBurchett unwittingly makes the case for MEDICARE FOR ALL as Republicans flail for a way to deal with skyrocketing health care costs. (H/T @PabloReports)

I don't even know what to write here. I'm thankful for researching. Thank you to the gods of Appalachia, my grandma, and ancestry.com. #Genealogy #Storytelling #Appalachia #Melungeon #EasternBandOfCherokee #History #Research

My jaw dropped. I can't believe I found this YouTube video only days after posting about the Burchfield 1927 Baker Roll interview for the Eastern Band of Cherokee. My kin weren't lying. Still, what happened to Oo-wa-hoo-kee? #Melungeon #Appalachian #Cherokee #Geneaology #History #Snowbird

I wonder if-- one day-- Melungeon Appalachians can be associated with the Eastern Band of Cherokee as a sub-shoot.

Well, I wasn't prepared to stumble upon a "Cherokee DNA Mystery." However, it lines up with Melungeon DNA. It is contentious, though. #NativeAmerican #Melungeon #Genealogy #History #Cherokee #ScotsIrish #Mediterranean #NorthAfrican #MiddleEastern

More Melungeon + Cherokee follow-up. One of the Burchfields applying on the Baker Rolls is extensively interviewed and goes on to name neighbors and kin who attest to her relational ties to the Cherokee Nation. #Melungeon #Appalachia #Cherokee #NorthCarolina #EasternBandofCherokee

It is my belief that we’re being kept in the minutia so we don’t pull our heads back + ask “why” to some of this ridiculousness; i.e., the fact that a sitting govt official uses a social media website for press releases; not only this, but the social media site is *owned* by him, too. ... what?

Has Elmer Wayne Henley said ANYTHING about the chickenhawk in the last 40 years, now that all the other larger-known pedophiles are dead? #crime #murder #CSAM #trafficking #serialkillers
