All the notable people who read these words, know that you are not who you thought you were.

1.1.2025 04:15My thoughts on this first day of the new year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS_YAKZH3lw #newyear2025 #2025I was offline until after lunch. My computer misbehaved, sequentially. This means my annual reminder that this is my personal bad joke day is late.
It would be my father's hundred-and-first birthday if he were still alive. I miss him so much.
Bring out your worst #jokes in his honour!
I was wildly insomniac the other night and that turned into a #blog rant. A very, very Gillianish #rant. https://treehousewriters.com/wp53/2024/12/23/stories-of-stories-of-stories-are-embedded-in-jewish-history/ #jewish

I also want to ask is Spellcheck referring to the nature of preparation for #christmas2024

You still take 'Germany' with two letters transposed and tell me firmly that I intended to type 'Geranium.' I most certainly did not intend this!
Dear #Spellcheck
My life would make far more sense if I knew why you suggested "Chitosan" for Christian."

Do you hate Polish people? Is this why you wanted me to replace a mistyped 'Polish' with 'Spoilsport"? Or is it furniture polish you distrust?
I'm taking suggestions for my Treehouse #blogposts. Suggestions can tag my #fiction #writing self, my #historian self, my #Australian self, my #foodie self , my #Jewish self, my book-addict self, or... most things, in fact. Not Israeli politics. I do not understand Israeli politics well enough. If you want me to write about #antisemitism or the #left the post/s may be occasionally unnexpected, since I'm an ethnohistorian.

Please stop suggesting that 'German' would be better as "Geranium."
It's almost Yom Kippur. Well over the fast to everyone who fasts, and to those who keep in touch with the world during this time. please navigate the hatred successfully.
This year I really, really need Yom Kippur, as I did, two years ago and last year. I need to remind myself to hate the bad actions of people, but not to carry hate. For me, #YomKippur is a day of getting things in perspective and understanding.
G'mar chatimah tovah.
Dear #Spellcheck
I refuse to replace 'Philippines' with 'Philistines'. So there.
This is a "How to Avoid Gillian" guide for #Octocon, where I'll b online. This helps, because you can mute me while listening to some great panels.
"Don't Let #History Get in the Way of Telling a Good #Story", "The Relationship Between The #Writer and the #Reader: Who Owns the #Text " and "Into the Woods: Exploring Lesser Known #Fairy Tales."
Just avoid my talk: "Writing from History - From the Head, the Heart, or Somewhere Very Different?" It includes #Jewish history, of course.
Dear #Autocorrect
You do know how much 'understating' changes the meaning when it replaces 'understanding'? Of course you don't. You could change the whole #narrative and you would not care. You are #AI and don't understand what you do... which is not an understatement.
