This picture is a summary of what God did for me and mine in 2018. We are all fine, stable and getting medical care. God. Is. Alive. And. Faithful.
So, if I have been slow in replying to your messages or didn’t respond at all, kindly bear with me. ‘Cos this experience still feels like a dream. I am not sure I have fully recovered from the shock.
The entire event lasted like 300 milliseconds. The last I remember was seeing a man jog that evening. Every other thing afterwards feels blur.

I think my dad finally understands what I do for a living. I think. It took 10 years, but I am glad we are here. I also used the opportunity to educate in on how card payment works. It finally made sense to him. Next up; my father in-law.
I think the clincher was explaining to him how I pay for airline tickets. This also reinforces the belief that complex concepts can be made simpler if you can relate it with everyday life.
I think it was also a learning opportunity for me as I struggled to come up with an analogy that made the most sense. It was an opportunity to explain how the PAN, CVV, PIN and OTP all come together to enable a successful transaction.

So.

Time for something a little different, and an idea I’ve been toying with—a look at how #transphobes try to frame their narrative within a claim that they are only “concerned” about trans people existing.

I think it’s safe to say that every trans person in the...

community who isn’t a #transphobic arserag can now spot whenever the usual #hate groups and individuals deploy their dog-whistles to denigrate trans people, especially trans women, but it is all too easy to forget that for the average cis person with no experience of...

2/n
this the comments and phrases that #transphobes come out with can come across as bizarre, or non-sequiturs, or even occasionally even reasonable. That person, because they have no experience of this, doesn’t see those comments as the attacks they are, and so can’t...

Beautiful
(A microburst Twitter essay--to be finished before I'm done with my cough drop)

I just had an epiphany: #beautiful has become my new favorite word. That may seem strange given my circumstances. In June 2017 I was diagnosed with incurable stage IV #lungcancer.
I naively thought that maybe my lifetime of being a health and fitness junkie would insulate me from such a medical fate. Wrong. And So here I am, fifty-one years old and not sure how much time I have left on earth. I know I could, or maybe should, feel angry, cheated, jaded.
But I don't. I have this epiphany that my new favorite word is beautiful and I'm not sure why. There is nothing beautiful about what I've gone through since my diagnosis--lots of physical and emotional distress to be sure. But yet, I keep find

And the @IBWellsSociety investigative reporting workshop is off! Ron Nixon dropping knowledge on how to do investigations while also covering your beat. #NABJ2018 @NABJ
@nixonron: Use social media not just to promote your brand but also as a reporting tool.
@nixonron: Nurture your sources. Don’t just call when you’re on deadline. Call regularly. If a source’s mother dies, it’s OK to send a sympathy card. Be human.

After 70 years of imperial/neoliberal indoctrination the web of lies is so obviously absurde (9/11, Skripal, WH = ISIS, etc.), that it is dissoluting. The empathetic humanity connects, closes ranks and sends their eternal psychopathic rulers and their lackeys into nowhere land.
The "evil empire" is a lifelong three year old child. I certainly loved my children at that age too, however only because they created not only a surreal mess, but also made steady progress.

A great documentary about psychopathy and society:
The elite invented "democracy" to protect them from the empathetic people. The media are their means for misleading the people sedated by "democracy". This is definitely a bad thing since the people have become educated and the elite almost totally insane.

I heard someone dismissing looming Brexit problems by comparing it to Y2K - "A big fuss over nothing."
Not the first time I've heard this comparison, either.
If I may rant for a moment...
I am thoroughly sick of people using Y2K as an example of groundless worries - Brexit, climate change, et al.
If you're going to compare to Y2K for problems, you should be holding it up as gold standard to aspire to.
Y2K was a massive, looming problem, caused by short-sighted practices in the previous decades - and the usual excuse for those practices was "technology will fix it later." (Sound familiar?)

 One of my favorite writers @ Caitoz

who I won't "Tag" in this Tweetstorm
because it will mess up her mentions

wrote an article about the Lying CIA, Coup, and Iran

I snarked back about Obama's 180 Bil
she didn't like that
but
I've read her article

medium.com/@caityjohnston…
2/
 One of the reasons
I thoroughly enjoy @ Caitoz
and strongly recommend her
is that she takes no prisoners, states her opinions, and provides facts

However, I dispute her version of Iran

So we shall discuss

 Is @ caitoz Right"
She said I was spreading Falsehoods?

TBH, let's find out
If I can't provide a counter-arguments w/facts and sources
then that is upto to you to decide

But I will now review her article
