My family found out that Dr. Doofenshmirtz was my great-grandfather. There was also a political election, and there were biblical events happening in Minecraft.

Yup....even if it’s her great grandpa, Eggdad would let her calling him “grandpa”

My great grandfather was so freaking coooooool

He knew English, Hindi, Urdu, Odia and possibly Arabic, along with Bangla!

And that's a big thing for someone coming from a tiny village in Midnapore (plus we're talking about pre-independent India!). It seems he'd call the wandering fakirs and beggars home, feed them, and ask them to teach him how to read and write the Arabic and Devanagari scripts. English was the then official language and Odia, I'm guessing he learned it from the locals (big Odia diaspora in western Bengal).

Never felt proud of my family like this before lmaoo

Guess I take after him heheh 😌

Edit: Oh wait, he knew some Sanskrit too!!! 'Cause he was a great fan of reading religious texts and stuff (another interest we both share lol)

Sad news everyone, my great-grandfather (whom I call “Dad-Dad”) passed away this morning, and I think it’s going to increase my breaking point of wanting to die after being abused by my mother.

R.I.P Dad-Dad, you will forever be in my heart

I wonder if my great grandfather read Sherlock Holmes when it was in the Strand Magazine. He was born in 1883 and Holmes was published between 1887 and 1893 before returning in 1901. So great grandad would have been 4 when they first came out and perhaps grew up with them. And he worked on the railway as a clerk so he might have picked up discarded mags that passengers may have left behind or even bought his own. Obviously, there's no way of me knowing this, but it is possible he was invested in Holmes and may have even been saddened by the "death" of the detective. Great grandad certainly missed The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes as they were published in the 1920s and great grandad was killed in 1918 (WWI).

Happy Halloween 🎃

I have a Halloween memory of when I was younger I had to have been 5 & I think my cousin was a baby. My Grandma Donna threw a Halloween party for me & some of her friends kids. I don’t really remember any of them, I just remember there were about 4 girls & maybe 1 boy? We carved a Jack O Lantern that’s when I realized I didn’t like the smell of pumpkin guts at all. My costume was a creepy one of Donald Duck. We played games & had these mini Jack O Lantern buckets for candy. Later on that night we put the pumpkin we carved with a candle inside outside of my Great Grandfather’s Apt building by the corner of the fence (Very Top Right Was His Apt). I don’t really remember the rest of the night but I do remember there was a couple times my Grandma took me trick or treating around my great grandfathers block. I don’t know if it was the same night but it’s a good memory that I never forgot.

Dear Great Grandpa,

You were a machine gunner in WW1. You had a fever dream that you survived the war, so instead of fearing for your survival, you went on the best and bloodiest adventure of your life. Despite that, and maybe because you didn't quite believe in dreams as much as you proclaimed, your emergency water flask was filled with cognac so you could die drunk and numbed from pain.

Well you didn't die, and you sired my grandpa, who sired my dad, who sired me. And I like cognac - mostly because it's a nice strong alcohol that tastes good, but also because I can't help but think of you and the stories my dad told of you. We have never met, but I like to think that when I drink a little cognac, there's a little piece of you in me that's drinking it too.

I think my life's kind of a mess, but I know you would be immensely proud of me.

With love,

Em

Most of my dad’s side of the family is dead, both my grandparents died before I was born and my aunt died of polio when she was a kid. But I have quite a bit of cousins in Oklahoma that was unknown for a long time. My great grandfather had left my great grandmother and started a new family there. Really shitty behavior there. Not the craziest story about him, up until a few years ago we didn’t even have a photo of his face because my great grandmother scratched it out in almost every photo.

Disrupt Project

3D Materials Workshop Part 1/3

So in this week's workshop I am continuing on from the theme of Disruption of the McGraths at Moyasta. From the evictions to trains now to the final disruption...

Me.

Well specifically, 3 Year old me.

This disruption is based off of my very early memories of my Great Grandad Pat, the last of my immediate family who lived at the house at Moyasta (the family still own the house but its a cousin that lives there now).

So for my project I plan to recreate a specific memory of myself playing in his walker like it was a set of playground monkey bars.
