I felt the same my first day. Go to bed early tonight if you can. Then be strong through the next two days or so after that. It WILL feel easier and it will be so worth it!

And, well, also sad that I had a feeling as soon as I saw a second marriage record for her husband.

Cheerful #genealogy note: "died during child birth at Offaly County Hospital; no associated birth record, so presumably the baby also did not survive." 😔

I can’t imagine from here in the States in the year of our lord 2026 why you would need to feel better about the color orange, but it’s a beautiful piece.

Hey WL, girls and boys don’t want AI crammed into every possible aspect of the database, they just want a tool for finding the goddamn mismatched parentheses!!

I was delighted last night to realize a bride’s brother gave her away at her wedding that happened after I thought he’d died…but I obviously just had the wrong person! Too many Irishmen named Joseph. (I never met the bride and brother, but still happy for them!!)

Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Yes, that is pretty much the case here!

Perfect. This is me even when I go on a platonic outing with a single man friend. Can’t imagine ever again wanting to deal with it in a “romantic” setting.

I only just realized…I mostly stopped buying cards with pre-written sentiments ages ago. If I’m not gonna let Hallmark write for me, I’m sure as hell not letting an LLM!!

Finally started some genealogy writing and funny enough, it's just like I used to tell law students, sometimes you really don't figure things out until you're forced to write them out. Related: I'm now having paroxysms of horror over people using Those Two Vowels for their genealogy work.

I'm gonna slap the next ham-faced prick to express "concern" about economic migrants abusing our systems. Our whole fucking economy is built on allowing multinational companies to come here and pretend they're Irish so they can abuse our low corporate tax rate. #spéirgorm

I hope she does more than that. I couldn’t possibly be thinking of Vance and the Pope, the queen and her last PM…

Exactly so. Most of the other contested offices I felt conflicted over my vote. Not this one.

Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 02/09/2026
Yes. I’d have handily voted for almost anyone who was both younger and not Seth Moulton or similarly hateful. Did NOt enjoy voting for an 80yo and thought I would never do it on principle, but here we are.

Fake meat has happily come a long way! Sausage tends to be a good bet bc it's easy to do a similar processed texture and flavor profile, and I was shocked last year on first trying Beyond's steak tips. (I've only tried the Korean BBQ flavor--nice in salad.)

Post a meme made by you. (Mine are both work inspired. 🤷🏻‍♀️) Love the Darmok one!
A fully kitted out Olympic shooter labeled “academic law libraries” next to a photo of the no frills Turkish silver medalist labeled “law firm librarians.”Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift engagement phot with her cradling his face. He is labeled “new lawyers” and she is labeled “secondary sources”. Obscene number of flowers in the background.

The space is truly tiny and shared so I expect mileage varies, but I had a good experience this spring with the Now Now Noho capsule hotel.

Only Ms Rachel for sure, maybe one or two others? Also possible that like some pop music, I've seen a clip without knowing the artist...except that with pop music, I've heard a lot of the names and with this crowd I haven't. And that's fine.

Haha. I should have kept a count of all the U-Hauls I saw while running errands around Boston this morning. (And early, because I'm sure it got worse later in the day!!) #HATM

I love Dolly's rendition of her song SO much. Worked retail with Whitney's version in constant rotation on the in store play and while Whitney had great pipes, I hated what she did with it, not to mention the repitition. When I finally heard Dolly's it was a revelation. #HATM
