B and C are the truth (I’ll take a photo of B when I get home.)

A, I was great in French and good in Italian, but my Spanish was shabby and I could speak a little Polish. None fluent tho.
blah blah, Marine Corps League citation:
When you’ve had a life as messed-up as mine, the only lies you tell are to downplay shit you don’t feel like talking about yet.

Positivity counter-balance! Twitter, what actors / actresses do you see in a leading role and are like “wow, this person makes interesting choices / does good work, this film is on my radar now”?

(Be honest if it’s just ones you’re thirsty for & will watch in any old garbage)
Me: Jake Gyllenhaal. Rachel Weisz. Increasingly, John C Reilly. Channing Tatum. Margot Robbie.
Also, I’m not thirsty for any actor. I’ve met too many of them.

2019 comics projects:

* weird, angry YA fantasy but w too much mom / family in it to be real YA, done as 6 quarterly 60-page ‘zines

* the Mayday sequel

* uh, another weird YA fantasy about Nonviolent Superman?

* a quarterly 72-100p art zine w 1 comics & 1 prose story / issue
* A very dark action comedy / Roadtrip of Vengance story I keep describing as “Martin McDonagh’s DIE HARD”

* And finally some cool WFH books and other comics-adjacent stuff not yet announced
About half the creator-owned stuff doesn’t have a publisher yet but YOLO, we’ll figure it out somehow, we always do

Oh, I’ve also got a super-creepy J-horror book that’ll be four super big ‘zines or just... a graphic novel. Prefer just a graphic novel.

At this moment I’d like to remind you of a frequent tactic of abusers when confronted with their actions:

DARVO = Deny, attack, reverse victim and offender.

(1/3, and source: dynamic.uoregon.edu/jjf/defineDARV…)
Abusers are often extremely manipulative and self-loathing people who will do anything to blame others for their behaviour. They are the real victim!

If they can’t straight-up accuse their victims of lies, exaggeration, or vindictiveness— (2/3)
—thereby adding to the already high feelings of self-blame victims struggle with, they will blame LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE as to blame for their actions.

They’re especially fond of blaming things unable to fight back...

...such as fictional characters. (3/3)

Folks, sharing some thoughts on the #KartarpurCorridor in the next few tweets.
Let's see how it goes ..

#KartarpurCorridor
Firstly, about Gurudwara Dera Saheb Kartarpur. It was here that Guru Nanak spent a chunk of his last years at that location. Hence the emotional attachment of Sikhs to that place.

#KartarpurCorridor
Secondly, about its physical location. The Gurudwara is located just above 2km from the nearest point on the Indian Border, across the Ravi River.
Thus, a corridor for controlled access to the Gurudwara is eminently feasible.
Here is a Google Maps screenshot.

Looking at my #Gucci, it's about that time. It's #Cancer time. (Older heads will know, I likely don't literally have a Gucci. But a stroll down hip-hop memory lane is apt for this sign, no?)
And this is special for me since there might be folks of a particular sign, either by Sun, moon or rising, who are your Ride-or-die folks. Well, #Cancers are mine. I don't have to go looking for them or that. It just happens. Consistently. So, they're dear people for me.
Once consciousness has explored dimensions of risk & curiosity in #Gemini, it seeks out safety, responsibility, containment & renewal in #Cancer

It’s amazing how much bad managers can really screw up your career + your trust + self-worth. If you’re a marginalized individual, you probably know this all too well.
I now can say (b/c hindsight is 20/20), that every single manager I’ve had in my career has been quite terrible. Note that I didn’t say mediocre. There’s a difference b/w a mediocre manager + a manager who actively works to dismantle your self-worth + perception.
My current manager is fantastic. He takes the time to listen + is always trying to do better, be better. But every manager before then has been outwardly vindictive or passive aggressive.

1/ Here's a bunch of animated time lapses from active volcanoes around the world.

#VolcanoesFromSpace

Data is from #ESA #Sentinel2 satellites. It's processed with the #Copernicus / @sentinel_hub tools.

You ask why? Because I like looking at images from volcanoes and so do you!
2/ Bogoslof Island is the summit of a submarine stratovolcano in the Bering sea. In 2017 it erupted and the island became MUCH bigger. There's going to be some happy puffin and seals there (the ones that didn't burn in lava flows that is)!

#VolcanoesFromSpace #Sentinel2
3/ Manaro Voui is a shield volcano in Vanuatu. Starting in 2017 and still going today it's continuously erupting. People are evacuated.

Chief Tari One of Ambanga has conducted ceremonial offerings but it seems these have not been accepted.

#b 'Teknik menjawab' is not a series of rituals that you carry out to secure an A in the exam. You don't get guaranteed an A just through superficial actions like highlighting keywords or drawing meniscus or inserting isi tersirat.
The problem is students and teachers treat teknik menjawab as some sort of pseudo magical ritualistic gestures that will bring a certain outcome. Draw a pentagram, slaughter a chicken, and your wish will be granted.
Some remote Pacific Islanders in 1940s came in contact with Allied and Japanese soldiers who were more technologically advanced and thought the soldiers were gods who had many "cargo" (canned food, electronics, modern stuff)
