Enormous thanks to all who made the event today so worthwhile. Thank you to @ShankerASingham @FortinusGlobal @AllieRenison for speaking; to Jim Fitzpatrick @BBCnireland for chairing; to @QPolAtQueens @QUBEngagement @UKinEU for enabling. But most of all, thanks to the audience...
...I'm so conscious of the brilliance, experience, diversity, passion, knowledge & nous present in every one of the audiences we hv @QUBelfast for #Brexit events. You are so articulate in expressing points that panellists need to hear. You listen. You challenge. You don't despair
Last but not least, shout out to @_MGONeill and @debbielisle who relieved a behind the scenes very mini crisis today by being calmly awesome

‘A Better Deal’?
bit.ly/2PCZh5S

If you are looking for a workable alternative to the Protocol on NI/IRL in the #WithdrawalAgreement, & if you are worried about @BorderIrish & @BelfastAgmt, I'm afraid this isn't it.

Here's a thread that is as tight as possible.
1/
First, don’t be fooled by the legalise & jargon.

It cannot be a serious legal text if it assumes that parties can simply “agree not to place physical infrastructure or introduce related checks and controls on the Irish border in any circumstances” (as per para 2).

2/
It is not in the gift of these parties to make such a guarantee without proper consideration of consequences for their international trade partners + responsibilities to their own consumers.

What this proposes in terms of 'Irish border measures' doesn't cut it (more anon.).

Here we go: Very initial impressions of the #WithdrawalAgreement's Protocol on NI/IRL #backstop, drawing heavily on UK Explainer of the same. tinyurl.com/ydfrvcdc 1/8
First, some general points I think are worth noting, mainly about how the UK is trying to frame it & what has changed in the Preamble to the #Protocol.
2/8
To the #backstop, which is now about avoiding north/south AND east/west barriers... at least at face value.
UK keen to emphasise its temporary nature & unlikely implementation.
Initial decision on whether it comes into force will have to be made by 1 July 2020 & by the UK.

Barnier's speech today illustrates why no one will be happy with the final deal because, well, Brexit means *cough* Brexit.

UK outside EU means:
- checks where they don't currently exist.
- more admin to cross borders
- new barriers to movement.

1/5
 europa.eu/rapid/press-re…
Concessions will be on where the checks will be & who conducts them.

This is how EU proposes to de-dramatise possible customs checks between GB and NI.

2/5
This is EU dedramatising regulatory checks if NI in Single Market for goods and GB not.

Again, priority is not to have them *at* the Irish border.

Made this flowchart today to explain why it takes so long for me to tell stories. My brain can have a hard time distinguishing which thoughts/ideas are more important than others. It gets complicated. 🧠 #ADHD
Joined @HowtoADHD on Discord chat after becoming a Patreon subscriber today, which inspired me to draw this. It’s really nice to talk to other people who just... get it. 💕
Another drawing I made to help visually explain how #ADHD feels:

Thanks to all who made #ncte18 great. In this thread, I will share 15 interesting things I heard people say.
1. "A rigorous classroom is filled with voice, choice and production." Ernest Morrell
2. "Schools are the one place where a child's main identity is negative. Kids are only "Special Ed" at school." Colleen Cruz

This entire story deserves to be threaded & tagged. In posting, my focus is not to dwell on the past but look at #Today with critical #EyesOpen. It’s a reminder to #Vote and act for the #betterfuture of our country.

Here it is:

1/ Former Republican @MaxBoot spent eight years trying to stop Obama as an aide to both @SenJohnMcCain McCain and @MittRomney and as a longtime conservative columnist.

Boot, who is now a columnist for the @washingtonpost was never a Trump fan
2/ but he did write a column the day after the election in which he argued that a @realDonaldTrump presidency “might not be so bad” and encouraged optimism.

Now, in a new piece for the Post, Boot is prepared to say that, actually, it is that bad.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

Today I am going to try and cook for the first time since I was paralyzed.

I used to cook most nights for me and The Wife. After Mass on Sundays, I would make brunch.

I made every holiday meal for 17 of our 18yrs together. I did the #Christmas baking.
#NewYearsResolutions
1/
I started cooking as a child. I grew up in a chaotic household. Great politics but a chronically ill mother. I was the oldest sibling & the maternal stand-in.

I became a vegetarian for political reasons at 14, so I had to learn how cook that diet cheaply since we were poor.

2/
In college I cooked for everyone. I knew how to stretch $.When I was in the domestic Peace Corps I taught people how to cook with next to no money.

I love feeding people.
I think food is an evocation of love for many folks.

I haven't been able to cook since I was paralyzed.

today's thoughts: can you run adsl over a literal wet string?
i'd totally test this so i can finally put this to rest (it's been bugging me randomly for months) but i lack string, and more croc clips.
I think we have some ✨science✨ to do later!
Testset is going on charge!
