Offerup is an app that one can use to buy and sell used goods, but their lack of accountability for their own services is one reason why I dislike ever having signed up for an account. I don’t trust their business model as they seem to be more of an information gathering platform rather than a seller/buyer platform. Too much data is gathered, and shared, with third parties. There is no option to delete your account either. Deactivation and delete do not have the same legal definition. …

Time after time, historical sources paint a picture of a black widow, and modern audiences consuming the story with no question. Here, we objectively review the evidence and let her story tell itself.
A lifetime of imbalance fueled William Hickman’s petty crimes, and he graduated to murdering a small girl. It took an entire nation to stop him. The grace and eloquence in which her family bore the pain of their loss speaks louder than Hickman’s crimes. This is the story of Marion Parker’s death,and how a murderer was stopped before committing more crimes. The investigation of this tragedy was legendary, and influenced the use of fingerprints formally for investigations in California and nation-wide.
Marion Parker was born October 11th, 1915 in Los Angeles to Perry M. and Geraldine Parker. She had a…
Sometimes there really are no words. As I do research for other things, publications in a newspaper move me, and I had to create a publication just to keep them separate to the rest of my work.
This particular article shows a lady in a non-traditional role in the 1930’s. I tend to gravitate toward those roles in my research, as I’ve been told by many of my male colleagues that I am in a non traditional role myself (but how again, sigh ). Either way, here is a champion skater from York, Pennsylvania in 1931, named Miss Vivian Shue.

“Here is one of the strangest photographs ever taken — a photograph that shows six waterspouts in action at the same moment. Each spout can be seen beneath the overhanging canopy of storm clouds.

For research of an article on my True Crime publication I often stumble upon things that are too cheeky to ignore, and I publish those aside from my that publication in Historical News.
I started typing out a Tongue Twister from 1934. It was literally the most difficult thing I have ever typed, and I’ve been typing, very quickly, for a very long time.
This has probably been the most confounded I have been while typing something since I took typing classes in high school. Thus, I’m publishing here, so you can also…
