It wasn't that uncommon at the time. Take a look at this 2005 study the US GAO did on the issue: Social Security Numbers: Federal and State Laws Restrict Use of SSNs, yet Gaps Remain Also, this news article on the trend.

I vote for Usan, pronounced YOO-sn.

At least the accessibility page is still up. Oh, wait.

There's also https://eotarchive.org/.

Yes. I keep reminding myself my Jewish friends did not choose to attack the Gazans and don't agree with Israel's actions, but wow is the antisemitic brain worm whispering at me.

So, how did you go about doing that? Did you pay a company to guide you through the process or what? TBH, I'm a bit intimidated by interacting with a foreign government potentially in Polish, a language I do not speak.

My queer FB friends have been moving to Bluesky, which is frustrating because I've been on Mastodon for a year. But, whatever. I can deal with two accounts.

My college ID used to be my social security number, so maybe it was something like that? Iirc that's no longer allowed in the US.

Similarly fuzzy! I think they mostly came from the "Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria" region of Poland. Some definitely have "Galicia" on their earlier census records, then later records for the same relatives say Poland. Other relatives waffle between Poland and Russia. t National borders are so fuzzy.

The other side of the family is from Appalachia since the 1800s, but sometimes can't decide if they're born in TN or KY because they were from a disputed region.

I love my A1 mini, but if I ever move on to a bigger machine this will make me think twice about sticking with BambuLab.

And that's the true story of how I learned all my Polish ancestors came over before modern Poland was a thing, and thus didn't have Polish citizenship to pass on.

I, for one, welcome our fur baby overlords.

The app openvibe does that for Mastodon and Bluesky. You have to have an account on both, though. I think they're adding in other services eventually.

The most annoying/worst person you know can share your political ideology and that's both unsettling and makes you wonder "are we the baddies?"

Part of being online is that folks will just be a jerk to you sometimes, I suspect to feel better about themselves and their position.

Thanks. I've opened all these up in my tabs and have saved the anarchist library to my favorites.

I just picked up a copy of "A People's History of American Empire", a graphic adaptation of a chapter from that book, from my library. ("A People's History of the United States" is listed in the collection, but labeled "missing"). I expect to be reminded that the USA's history is bloody and full of oppressing brown people.

Done. And now I know how to cross-post :) (small square-on-square icon)

I was about to say "I don't know. My cousin shoved me away just because I don't eat pork." then I realized that that aligns me with not-Christians. (pork violently does not agree with my digestive system)

Update: I just requested Wobblies!: A Graphic History of the Industrial Workers of the World through my library system ( https://store.iww.org/shop/wobblies-a-graphic-history-of-the-iww/ )
