My sister found my personal yearbook published on Ancestry.com. I threw it in the trash at least 10 years ago because it was full of a crazy number of embarrassing autographs that mentioned my boobs, which apparently were noteworthy. Now everyone who shares my DNA will learn of my outstanding gazongas and their legend will be publicly available for eternity. I am very much not ok with this. Childhood trauma reactivated. Fuck whoever did this.

@lydialurch@mastodon.social Am I understanding right that someone dug it out of the trash and uploaded it to Ancestry? Scanned it page by page? That's a lot of work and would only earn them my enmity. I hope I'm misunderstanding. In any case, it sucks.

@lydialurch@mastodon.social In case this is useful -- ancestry.com has a policy of not publishing anything about living people. Can't hurt to remind them of that this is their own damn policy, maybe they should follow it.
