Life is weird. This weekend I bonded with a guy over us both having secret half sisters.

#FamilySecrets I came across a gruesome family secret, very close in my family tree. My paternal grandfather‘s sister was married twice, the first time to a real ogre that she ended up suing and winning a divorce from for cruelty, after only two years. He remarried 3 weeks after the divorce, and then the following winter, 3 weeks before Christmas, fatally shot his 2nd wife in the heart, and then himself. The families had separate funerals, & they are buried in different cemeteries. Stanley-13596
This was SO good. The stories are still rattling around in my head.
I think it'd have resonance even for someone without connections to that environment & society. I grew up in #Indonesia and my father (not openly until much later) was bi and had homosexual relationships while (and after) we lived there (wasn't someone asking about #familySecrets recently? Well there you go).
Anyway. Highly, highly recommend.
Minuteman Library NetworkHappy stories, mostly"Happy Stories, Mostly is a short story collection by queer Indonesian author Norman Erikson Pasaribu. Blending together speculative fiction and absurdism, these stories ask what it means to be almost happy-to nearly find joy, to sort-of be accepted, but to never fully grasp one's desire"--
@BlackAzizAnansi My bio great-grandparents' (on my mother's side) last name was Cole. But that's only because after murdering a prominent farmer in Alabama, my g-grandfather married my g-grandmother, took her family name (Cole), & together, they absconded to TX. They both lived a long life--he was never caught or punished. #FamilySecrets

Wondering what it would be like to have a family without all sorts of slimy, slippery, deeply dark secrets just below the surface.
I'll be talking to my mother in Whatsapp and she'll drop something awful out of nowhere.
Shocking info.
Sometimes fascinating, other times just plain horrible. Keeps you on your toes.
(Me, it keeps me on my toes, and I hate that I can never let my guard down.)

I recently discovered a real life mystery in my family tree!
One of the closer-distant relatives (something like 3rd cousin 3x removed or 4th cousins 2x removed) straight up disappeared one day in 1914 and there seems to be absolutely no record or paper trail of him after the newspaper article announcing him missing.
It also sounds like some sort of book or movie plot that the last thing he was known to have done was remove all his savings from the bank.
