@Daniel_Batal @vidsummit Not this year. Definitely putting it on the calendar for next year as soon as they announce the dates!

@ReclaimTheRecs Did they get it converted?

@packrat74 It isn’t nearly as detailed as that thread!

@hankgreen My mom is *horrible* with language around anything medical. When she had colon cancer, she couldn’t tell you what was in her chemo. For her, it wasn’t lack of interest; learning their names would have been one more thing to stress over.

@jayfarnold However, if State Issue 1 passes in August, it would require 60% to be approved.

@Daniel_Batal Thanks! I couldn’t have timed that better if I tried 😂

@morebonus1 @BeyondBrickWal1 I think that would fall under “using a different name” (though I did give a different example) 😉

[Amy Johnson Crow 🌳🧬 @AmyJohnsonCrow]

@CleverTitleTK Yay! It shouldn’t be that hard, though. I will never fully understand why people have to be so obstinate about the whole thing.

I swear most of my time on this platform lately has been spent blocking 🤖 accounts.

@FindaGrave @danielmloftus I’m glad the memorials were taken down. Is the creator of those memorials going to have any sanctions against them, such as restrictions on creating new memorials?

@packrat74 @mladair @ReclaimTheRecs @ChrisSmolinski @nycrecords @FamilySearch I’ve finally gotten comfortable with the new search. However, I still find the Historical Images section to be a hot mess. It’s nearly impossible to navigate it cleanly. Can’t wait for images to get integrated with the catalog again.

@sundowniest That’s a good analogy!

@SimpleLivinGene Thanks for helping spread the word about why we need to pay attention to copyright in #genealogy !

[Amy Johnson Crow 🌳🧬 @AmyJohnsonCrow]

@SimpleLivinGene It's a bit more generous than that. Copyright in the US has a rolling date for public domain. We're now up to works published bef 1928. Also, works that were published 1928-1977 are in the public domain if they were published without a copyright notice. https://t.co/2dJlLBEzfF
