1/ Hi. My twitter name is Gilead Ini, and my real name is Gilead Ini. My ethnicity is Jewish. My connection began at least around 1200 BC, when a Hebrew-speaking Israelite civilization emerged in the hills of the land of Israel. It continues unbroken until today. Here's how:

Don't have much hope of friends/mutuals seeing this, but I'll be in Glasgow from this afternoon through Monday. Let me know if you're there and would like to meet up.

and best taken a few sections at a time. It also has memories of good things and a photograph of the last kindergarten. Perhaps Henoh or his younger sister and brother are in it. https://t.co/u6gvyTaUjt

this records and trying to understand how they all fit together in families. The result is this family tree and is dedicated to Mendel. He was born in Przytajn, Poland in 1925 and spoke Yiddish.

@MhairiHunter @Beatson_Charity @NHSScotland I am so sorry.

May her memory be always for a blessing.
May all who mourn know comfort.

If you've made it this far, thank you.

May their memories be for a blessing.

This Yom HaShoah I am remembering Henoh Aleksanderowitz who was born and lived in Klobuck, Poland in 1936 and was murdered at Auschwitz in 1942 when he was six years old.

At least 54 members of his family were also killed. Please keep reading to learn more.

Home movies from Aleksandrów, near Klobuck, and Pacanów, a bit further away. They were filmed in 1934, two years before Henoh was born. This is the sort of life he and so many other children should have had.

@SimplyCookcom Did a try for free from a friend's code, made my choices carefully, was looking forward to new things & thinking how to adapt to my disabilities... and then you removed the offer from me saying it's one per household. Must have been a previous tenant, not me 🙄👎

The new version of Fedifinder will show you which Mastodon instances your Twitter contacts are on (I have 9 on .scot, 7 on a .uk, 2 on .green etc), provided they have their masto address in name or bio here. The API charges will eliminate Fedifinder by Thursday so LAST CHANCE.

[Shalom aleichem 🌈☮️ @emmaaum]

came back to see if anyone had replied to my offer to help them get the hang of using mastodon. nope to that of course, why did i bother 🙄, but within a minute of being here i've seen horrible horrible antisemitic bots spamming threads. are you really happy to stay here? i can't

[Shalom aleichem 🌈☮️ @emmaaum]

If anyone wants help using #Mastodon, please ask.
Hashtags and groups are important. Groups can be followed like any other account, but auto-boost every post with the group @ in it. Hashtags can be followed too.
You can even find your outrage if that's what's keeping you here.

@SarahLizzyLou at the start i always answer "ok" regardless because i'll still be working through the brain fog of switching from by myself to people mode and it's been years since i had the spoons to do a check-in with myself AND cope with talking to another person at the same time.
