THREAD - Coming up this week - mark your calendars if you're interested in following the next developments in the Adnan Syed case.
Perhaps you recall Syed from the uber-popular podcast about the murder of his HS girlfriend Hae Min Lee?
1/3
Back in March, the MD Court of Appeals vacated the murder conviction saying he’s entitled a new trial because of ineffective assistance he received from his atty during his first go-around at court. Background here: courthousenews.com/maryland-appea…
2/3
This Thursday, Syed's attys return to court to defend that decision and I'll live-tweet the oral arguments. They begin at 10 AM. Join me then!

Good morning from inside the media room at the USDC Eastern District of Virginia. Bijan Kian's status conference with Judge Trenga gets underway this morning at 10AM. Story to come @CourthouseNews. Trial set for Feb, so today I'm expecting negotiating around docs/schedule etc.
Friendly reminder for those new to USDC EDVA coverage - while there is a media room, there isn't a closed circuit TV feeding the activity in the courtroom down to reporters. That means I can only update once out of the courtroom. Stay tuned.
Story is online and it will be updated: courthousenews.com/ex-flynn-assoc…

@kamri_apollo Nigeria may realize even lower revenue from the sale of crude oil as the OPEC looks to withdraw our exemption from oil production cuts in a bid to stabilize prices.

What does this mean for us going forward?

1. Want to thank folks for reading my recent story about Esieh Lake, a strange lake in the Arctic that’s bubbling up lots of methane, and the scientists led by Katey Walter Anthony of @UAFairbanks, who are trying to plumb its secrets. washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/… … #thread
2.Here, I’m hoping to share a little more about the story, and some photos and charts.
3. We were intrigued by this study by Walter Anthony and her colleagues on Arctic thermokarst lakes, formed as permafrost thaws, and the major punch they could deliver to the climate system, since they thaw to considerable depths and unleash methane. nature.com/articles/s4146…

THREAD coming up: on #NakedFeminism, and why the cult of #FemaleModesty is so toxic, despite its well-intentioned aim of shielding women from the #MaleGaze & removing society's focus on women's bodies. #Feminism #Equality #Freedom
Something men realise but many women (including my critics) do not: it's not immodesty but #modesty that gives men power over women. It means they can embarrass and demean women. In turn, well-intentioned men seek to "protect" women by limiting their freedom to work & travel. 1/4
The cult of #femalemodesty doesn't help women - it leaves them vulnerable to daily abuse & to restrictions. It also leaves them feeling out of touch with their own bodies - as if their body is rude and alien. It gives men power over women - both inside & outside the bedroom. 2/4

Thread coming up on some of the benefits of everyday cycling.
First one: Cycling to work can reduce the risk of developing cancer and heart disease by up to 46%.
independent.co.uk/news/health/cy…
Cycling to work has been shown to be as effective for weight loss as regular gym sessions, according to this Danish study.
bikebiz.com/business/cycli…
Staying with Denmark, they estimate that for every kilometre travelled by bicycle, instead of by car, there is a net gain to society of €1 in terms of health benefits. Infographic from the Danish Cycling Embassy with information on cycling benefits.

I don't understand why Nigerian ladies complain of their men, it's beyond me.

Hands down, Nigerian men are the best in Africa. Their mother, sister, wife/girlfriend(s), daughter & even mother in law they treat with maximum respect

Nigerian ladies, respect your men

#Thread
Before I started moving with Nigerians, I used to think all men are the same, but as I made friends with Nigerians, I noticed all men aren't. It was very obvious in fact. The may Nigerian men talk and act to ladies is absolutely remarkable.
At first I thought they behave that way just to woo ladies. Turns out I was wrong again. Over the years, I've come to notice how 9ja men treat ladies in their life(Mother, Sister, Wife/Girlfriend, daughter) with absolute respect I began to envy

Thread coming up on how to negotiate for payment if you're a young, talented, hardworking person. Note those last four words, plix.
Offered one of my mentees a contract job for a client earlier, and I asked her how much she wanted to be paid. And she panicked.
[Btw, as @biolaa1 says all the time, it's mostly females that do this. Refuse to ask for what they think they deserve. Stop it. Lean in.]
