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.

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 woke up today in the midst of siblings, parents, nephews, nieces, in-laws, cousins and I realized how blessed I am in having loved ones around me especially around this time of the year. To everyone that lost a loved 1 and couldn’t celebrate with them, my prayers are with you.
To everyone that supported me in one way or the other this year; advice, words of encouragement, material stuff, opportunities, access, prayers, helpfully feedback, etc, my hope and prayer is that help will come to you even when you didn’t expect it.
You all made 2018 an amazing year. I can’t pay you all and I can’t thank you enough. But for as long as the earth remaineth, God will bless your labor of love. The works of yours hands will prosper. Thank you for the love and thank you for being patient with me.

Here we go.
Yet another opportunity for purists to make a fuss about the “power dynamic” in a relationship 20 years ago.
Meanwhile presidents have been appointing big campaign donors to top ambassadorial posts for decades.

@USATODAY If you want to prohibit public officials from having sex with people who work for them or appointing romantic partners to government posts, pass a law. But we are sick of moralizers left and right who lecture about the “power dynamic” in relationships from 1995. Let’s move on.
@USATODAY She sounds like an honest prosecutor.
That’s what people care about, not the sex.

Here is why Cynthia Erivo, in particular, should not play Harriet Tubman.

TL; DR: There’s a troubling pattern of Cynthia repeatedly, deliberately, selectively *choosing* to not give respect to African-American heritage – the heritage of Harriet Tubman.
#HarrietDeservesBetter
Note: There’s an argument to be made against Africans/non-DOS Brits playing important African-American figures – & vice versa. Performance & perspective, where & how we take up space, larger economic & cultural issues at play.

Others have unpacked that; this thread won’t.
This thread is about why Cynthia Erivo should not play Harriet Tubman, “the Moses of her people” & a sacred African-American ancestor. It goes beyond Cynthia’s birthplace, accent, heritage & even her association with an ethnic bigot.

It rests on a pattern of behavior & choices.

This is an important piece from @onesarahjones pointing to the lack of a cogent foreign policy platform on the left and the dearth of DC foreign policy think tanks that can "supply them with ideas once they take office." newrepublic.com/article/150317…
This is a real problem. The DC think tank world largely reflects the bipartisan foreign policy establishment & its preferences for endless globe-spanning US militarism. But the left's search for an alternative is overlooking the only consistently antiwar outfit in town
Specifically, the @CatoInstitute's foreign policy department (@CatoFP). The left overlooks Cato as a creature of the right, but we easily put the supposedly left-leaning FP think tanks to shame on their own criteria.

As a fmr immigration attorney let me be unambiguously clear. Crossing a boarder to claim asylum is *not* a crime; no under US or international law. Any child separated from a parent under that pretext is done so in direct contravention to the laws of the USA. ⚖ THREAD Pls RT.
If you came to the US without permission to apply for asylum, youmetjod of entry, whether legal or illegal *should* in no way effect your application process. Illegal entry is not a ground of inadmissibility for asylum applicants.
Unlike many other categories of applicants for immigration benefits, ppl seeking asylum in the US are not barred by having made an illegal entry; for example, sneaked across the U.S. border or overstaying a valid visa (one of the top ways people are in the country illegall).
