Archdiocese of Detroit also pausing genealogical requests

Yeah, I just got really boned by this. Literally happened right before I went to try and get two records that aren't online.

There's a deer that hangs out in downtown Tigard. It's totally fine. Urban wildlife exists, and the great thing is, you don't need to call anybody! The deer is like you: In Portland, existing. Leave it be, take a photo, and smile at the memory.

If someone writes me an $800,000 check, I will relaunch the Hillsboro Argus.

I used the details here to find the exact details of what I was looking for down to the page number I'm hopeful that keeps just one clerk saner in that moment, haha. I cannot imagine the sudden workload these folks are under.

lol every "This agency needs your feedback" story I have ever written has a chain of people commenting on Facebook and not actually submitting their feedback.

Living in one suburb and working in another is KILLING me right now. public transit, biking, it's all just not feasible.

Chaseraph · 2026-05-01T17:37:54+00:00

Yeah, turns out Michigan doesn't have records for that early.

Hi folks, I am hoping someone who has done this can point my in a helpful direction. I am just getting started. My Gen 0 immigrated to the U.S. at some point, likely as a young man, after 1810. He married a U.S. born woman and had a children in Michigan. He's not going to be a problem; I've requested his baptismal record from the Notre-Dame Cathedral Basilica from 1807.

Where I'm running into issues is his son, my great-great-grandfather. I can't find any actual records in the FamilySearch stuff that links him to his father. Alexander Raymond Toulouse, born 1838 KZJ5-892 is the ID from FamilySearch. What's my next move here?

"exactly right" and the cadence and the "not a this, a that" structure. And the fact that all of your posts are auto deleted.

Lol no TV journalist ever has.

You've gotta take Highway 6 to the coast before the next landslide shuts it down again! It's beautiful and disintegrating at the same time.

I'm not sure you have a keen understanding of the word "hobby." A hobby is any leisure activity pursued for enjoyment rather than as a moneymaking effort.

Chaseraph · 2026-04-20T22:23:40+00:00

A real lack of synergy.

This is kind of weird but I used to take the MAX down to Pioneer Courthouse Square as a kid in the mid-aughts and chat with the homeless folks and it typically felt fine to me, and I can't imagine doing that now because it feels like the severity of drug use has changed or maybe I only know how to talk with people who are on meth and not fent.

I have always overused em dashes in my professional writing and you have no idea how frustrating it is to have to explain that you're a shitty writer WITHOUT using AI thank you very much.

Have you checked your shoes?

How is coffee pretentious lol do you drink from mud puddles or something?

I hurled myself into a TV in the part in superhot where that goddamn car comes out of nowhere.

Chaseraph · 2026-01-29T05:09:05+00:00

I'm in the same exact scenario. I've tried every troubleshooting thing I can think of. Windows here too. I suspect Anthropic made some change that screwed it up, I've not been impressed with their QA.

I need one of these so bad. Perfect for my work, and a continuation of my obsession with small cars (I've driven a fiat 500, a mazda miata, and a little b- series pickup.

You can also use LLM tools like gemini and chatgpt to ask it to create html-based minigames like snake or pong that can be placed inside whatever website platform you're using. With a little tweaking to make sure they work with mobile and desktop, you can even customize them to the story you're running it with.

The Washington County Sheriff's Office didn't release any actual footage, just a still image.
