@seanthegeek I'm not perfect either ... and I must admit to being reluctant to capitalise the Elon Musk hashtags as it gives him a status he doesn't deserve 🙂

Fixed. Thanks for calling that out. I never thought about that. Sorry it took me so long to respond, I had to figure out how to prevent my notifications from being flooded with all of the boosting and favoriting on my post.

@ClaireCopperman @seanthegeek Camel case seems to be the default, but the algorithm seems to adapt quite nicely with frequent use of camel case. Compared to the default settings for screen-readers - which don't understand that multiple words are present, and will try to read the hashtag as one long word - eliminating the problem seems pretty easy.

@seanthegeek Can I add a plea on behalf of people who rely on screen-reading technology, to use 'camel case' so the message is more accessible?

@MarthaAnne Yes it is very sad. Unfortunately, federal funding for war memorials is prioritised over libraries and archives that connect people to history and provide invaluable resources for research. It is a worry 😔

Our stories are everything. Why aren't saving them from vanishing?

Everyone has a stake in the national institutions, so why aren't we saving them?

#Genealogy Well, Amy Johnson Crow just posted her #52Ancestors themes for 2023. She also notes the option for #12Ancestors in 12 months. She included some unusual #FamilyHistory prompts this year, such as "should be a movie" - take a look: https://www.amyjohnsoncrow.com/52-ancestors-in-52-weeks-themes-2023/
