Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Just imagining where America would have to be to be ready to handle Giordano Bruno. Sigh!! 010
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I 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! 110
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 11/10/2026And, well, also sad that I had a feeling as soon as I saw a second marriage record for her husband. 000
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Cheerful #genealogy note: "died during child birth at Offaly County Hospital; no associated birth record, so presumably the baby also did not survive." 😔 100
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I 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. 120
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 11/10/2026That is a way more interesting answer than I expected. Thank you!! And I would let him either way! 020
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Perception based on facts…isn’t that what AI does? How does she not get the concept, hmmmm? (To be clear, snarking on her/AI, not you!) 120
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 07/10/2026That acronym. 🙄 (Sorry to all the proud himbos out there…or not.) 010
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 07/10/2026They’re still not ready to hear that the emperor is buck naked. 010
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Hey 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!! 020
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Hell I’d try to tag along but that would be creepy and I already have plans with my books. 010
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I 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!!) 001
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Perfect. 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. 100
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I 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!! 111
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Finally 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. 020
Reposted by MegRob @robosullivan.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I'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 05716
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Based on some things I've heard after binging Love is Blind, agreed! 020
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I hope she does more than that. I couldn’t possibly be thinking of Vance and the Pope, the queen and her last PM… 010
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Exactly so. Most of the other contested offices I felt conflicted over my vote. Not this one. 010
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Yes. 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. 140
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Thank you for this metaphor. Filing it away and following you…but not AI sycophants! 000
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 01/09/2026I’m convinced half the conversation-starter posts there are planted to train Meta’s AI bots. 010
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Fake 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.) 010
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Post a meme made by you. (Mine are both work inspired. 🤷🏻♀️) Love the Darmok one! 030
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 31/08/2026The 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. 000
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Only 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. 000
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 31/08/2026(I hope that didn't land wrong...just felt like getting silly with poultry types and house styles! :) ) 110

Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Haha. 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 220
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 31/08/2026First #HATM in way too long. It was a joy to spend time with y'all and Dolly was an absolute delight. Thanks to @herberthistory.bsky.social for keep things going and indulging us with this one! A great week to all! #HATM 190

Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Well that was weird. Why use THAT song then shove an unnecessary "happy" ending on top?! Speaking of wimpy. #HATM 160
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I 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 130
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Men. It's because it would make men look wimpy. For real, I recall hearing a podcast or reading an article about this not that long ago. #HATM 340
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 31/08/2026That's what I thought it would be too on @harrell76.bsky.social's comment, but here we are! #HATM 010
Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 31/08/2026"I suppose you're wondering what happened to Miss Mona." Me: "I only care what happened to Miss Mona." (Well, okay, Jewel too.) #HATM 141

Meg @mak506.bsky.social · 31/08/2026A one sentence summary of tonight's film. Which despite this, I'm enjoying. #HATM 070
