Who the Hell Is This Person Talking to Me and How Exactly Are They Related to Me: The Chart, just in time for your Thanksgiving gathering.

Oooh!  I really like that this chart gives (average) percentage of genetic similarity.

And confession: Despite my genealogy hobby, I can never remember what my cousins’ children are called in relation to me.  (First cousin once removed, apparently.)

Protip: the 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc when referring to cousins refers to how many generations back you have to go to find a common grandparent. First cousins share a grandparent, second cousins share a great-grandparent, etc.

If you do NOT share a grandparent with the relative (for example, your grandparent is their great-grandparent) then there’s a remove involved.

I’m always late to the party but I finally saw Good Omens! Trying to stylize those 2 cartoon characters Crowley and Aziraphale into my toony style. :D

the downside of referring to murderbot as “MB” is that I already know a super deadly sci-fi construct named MB and I don’t want to think about her
