Magazines & Pinterest

 



I love magazines, always have. I don't buy them anymore. Because of the trees. I also love Pinterest. So I thought aren't there any good magazines who have great Pinterest accounts I could follow? I don't know, I will search them out and test them.

First up: Martha Stewart who shut down her magazine in 2025 but what about the online presence or Pinterest?

Everything is Copy

 “Everything is copy” is the line Nora Ephron’s mother, Phoebe Ephron, used to sum up a whole worldview about writing, storytelling, and life.

Blueberries and Blackberries

 I have made a decision - I am going to grow blueberries and blackberries next spring! And I will try to grow more huckleberries but that's pretty difficult.

“fictionalizing”


 

I am writing to request formal review of a collaboration post currently appearing on the Thomas Bailey Christian FamilySearch profile dated August 3, 2025, which repeatedly characterizes genealogical disagreement as “fictionalizing” and “falsifying” without presenting any primary-source documentation to substantiate those conclusions.

While FamilySearch properly allows differing interpretations, the use of loaded and accusatory language such as “fictionalizing,” “falsifying,” and “giving false and fictional parents” constitutes a reputational allegation rather than a neutral genealogical position. These statements are presented without citation to contemporary records created during the lifetime of Thomas Bailey Christian that would objectively disprove all alternate hypotheses.

The post further implies misconduct by unnamed contributors while offering only mathematical speculation about descendant numbers, which does not constitute historical proof under accepted genealogical standards.

I respectfully request that FamilySearch review whether the continued display of unsourced accusatory language in the collaboration section complies with platform policies regarding respectful collaboration, neutrality, and evidence-based genealogy. Disagreement over parentage is a normal part of genealogical research; accusations of “fictionalizing” rise beyond scholarly disagreement when no primary proof is attached.

My goal is not censorship of differing views, but restoration of a neutral, documentation-based environment consistent with FamilySearch standards.
