@linda_a_burnett's workshop done, presentations attended, scholars met, and conversations had. What have I learned? Surprising things. Here's a partial reflection histories of scientific instructions, lists & colonial travel. @UU_University, @BookScribbler, @eayers0, @dominikhhh 
First off, not all lists are alike. Much can be learned by the order of items, especially when it comes to ethnographic observation. The order of observation tells us about the intellectual context from which the instruction arises. #listing #History #Science #KNOWLEDGE
But study of intellectual context takes us into other domains - of national experiences, of inter-imperial exchanges, of cross-cultural encounters and yes, so often, of violence and indifference to sufferings. #History #Empire #colonized #Violence #KnowledgeManagement
It's been a few weeks and I've now had time to reflect upon my experiences visiting #Austria and @rnd_ironnike to attend the Urban Operations Expert Talks 2022 conference. It afforded me the opportunity to reconnect with #SbT colleagues and meet new contacts. A thread 🧵 1/12
The OUET22 event was coordinated by the Project NIKE team and ran in parallel with IRON NIKE, a major Austrian Armed Forced exercise, based in and around the mining centre of Eisenerz. It was significant that the Austrian Defence Minister visited this exercise. 2/12
Event was held at the "Zentrum am Berg" (ZaB) training facility within the Erzberg iron ore mine. A great example of industrial, academic and military cooperation towards a common goal. In this case, the ability to work collaboratively in the urban #subterranean environment. 3/12

.. imagine living a 'soft life' & things are evidently not working out at the moment. That evil voice keeps reminding you of your social high reputation, how you will be the laughing stock if you leave this life.

You end up going deep in debt or falling into sin just to keep afloat. Exhausting all your energy on just keeping the address to your apartment. You are held hostage by that god. Whereas you can admit your situation, go back home, let them laugh, trust in Source &
in no time Source will send someone to offer you an opportunity to start afresh & you end up getting an offer to buy your own house with an affordable payment option!!!
Your house has always been there but you were too occupied by that ego to get what is truly yours!!!

#CALLING 2
In order to continue on this topic I find it essential to take just a step back & highlight something...
Being called means being summoned to attention. When your phone rings, you jump out of curiosity to find out who it is & then you say 'hello'.

From there you wait for the caller to say what they called you for.
Now, we often make the mistake of answering the call to our journey then automatically want to dictate how things will work. No, it simply won't work that way. When you are called you simply listen & take

instructions.
If you knew what the call was going to be about you would have started the journey yourself & there would be no need to be called. But because you were called it simply means you had no clue. Be humble & obedient to be led.

Road to your Gift
'ever since I was told I have a calling, I've been facing difficulties' ...
This post is for you.
In sweet & short :
- the reason for starting any project is : there is a plan. It may be building a house, school, church, sewing a jersey etc...

it all starts with a fully sketched, planned, stunning end product in mind.
A place is selected, raw material is identified & procurement is done. Then, preparation starts. The ground is cleared, levelled & foundations are dug. Only then the building starts!!!

What's important though is, the full sketch & plan was done & approved before the start of this project! An important part of the planning was identifying risks & having mitigation plans in place already!
Stop worrying!!!
The plan is YOUR GIFT
The project is YOUR CALLING!!!

Castigate… vilify… demonize… then dehumanize! We have your political playbook, Donald Trump, and it reads like a page out of another fascist leader's in modern history.

Like Benito Mussolini, your weaponizing of language is not merely a metaphor but a calculated attempt to reframe an issue-immigration-while ramping up fear, manipulating perceptions, broadcasting, and then unleashing a crisis to justify extreme and inhumane border policies.

But, we also hear the mania and desperation in your demagoguery. Jumping from subject-to-subject without a definitive line of logic or consistency in policy and actions, your malignant gibberish is infused with a daily fusillade of attacks, bullying and tedious tweets.
