Here are a few things which i think non-tech/journos can do to kinda keep #Snoopgate away. Though I do believe once you are out on the internet all bets are off.

1. Signal app. Tough for people who need WA uni gyan every day. (1/n)

@nixxin @NikhilRampal1 @Kranjanashish 2. Install a firewall, control what info flows out from your mobile. There is a perception that for a firewall you need to root the phone, you don't have to. play.google.com/store/apps/det… or play.google.com/store/apps/det… work just fine. select an app and switch on and off access. (2/n)
3. Control your camera and microphone. this app play.google.com/store/apps/det… is free right now and does both. If you only want to block the cam then Nocam play.google.com/store/apps/det… or Lenscap play.google.com/store/apps/det… do it well. (3/n)
4. Get a VPN. Easy and good investment. plans are as low as $2.5(rs150) per month if you pay longterm.

Which VPN to use ?

read this article and decide yourself
torrentfreak.com/which-vpn-serv… (4/n)
5. And after you read that article for a VPN. Read about the Five Eyes, Nine Eyes, and Fourteen Eyes Alliances

proprivacy.com/guides/5-eyes-…

Yup there are Govt level alliances over surveillance :)

(5/n)
I'm no expert in this field but these small things make me feel better when i'm on the wild west that is known as the internet :) (6/6)

here is a story James tell me just after he had the suicide attempt in 2001.

he went to stay at his mothers home to get away from the media and the glaring. nobody could get hold of him and most people did not even know where he was. then the phone ring and his mother answer it
the person on the line say it is the office of the president and Mr Mandela want to talk to James. james know it was not true , so he tell his mother to put the phone down. then the phone ring again and the same person say the president want to talk to James
so James get on the line suspiciously , and then the president say to him “hi James how are you?”

james could not believe that someone know where he is, so he did not think it is him. But then after a minute he quickly realise it was Mr Mandela on the phone...

Here are a few things you can do immediately to check your negative thoughts and depression:
1. Talk yourself out of absolutes. “It will never get better.” You don’t know that. You don’t know the future. So many situations in life are temporary. Including our thoughts
“Everyone is doing better than me.” Everyone? Really? That’s not true, especially if you have a device and internet to read this right now. Talk yourself out of absolutes

2. If you are suicidal, make a 4-pack. Here are 4 people I have to contact before I harm myself.
I know if I tried to kill myself (which I did years ago) my friends would think “if she just gave me the chance to get to her. If she had just told me I would have come.” So I give them the chance. Or my therapist. Or trained help.

At our service, we started a new teaching series titled #MissionPossible & I spoke on the topic- Diplomatic Missions. If you missed it, here are a few things that I shared: The Kingdom of God has a foreign policy that is shaped around the salvation of souls. #pgeeman #ElevationNG
We can say that the foreign policy of heaven is reuniting people with God. It is opened to everybody because it is about restoration. The Bible says in Romans 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." #MissionPossible #Pgeeman #ElevationNG
The Bible also says in 2 Peter 3:9 that "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." #MissionPossible #Pgeeman #ElevationNG

Ok, America. Your July 4th/Independence Day thing is coming up. Here are a few things that I think you should re-read or read for the first time. I have included audio where possible so you don't have any excuses. 1/
To get your hearts, minds and souls in order, I think you should start with Rev. Dr. William Barber. He is an important figure in my life and has taught me what this work looks like morally and practically. I am thankful to God for him. 2/
"I say to you tonight, there are some issues that are not left versus right, liberal versus conservative, they are right versus wrong. We need to embrace our deepest moral values and push for a revival of the heart of our democracy." Rev. Dr William Barber 3/

Here are a few things that work for me, in no particular order. I hope it helps. (Curious to hear how others deal with these very common feelings.) 1. Meditation. It not only increases base levels of clarity, concentration and equanimity, but it can provide a much-needed break 1/
..in an otherwise stressful day. You can begin your day with it (which helps make the other parts more manageable, and therefore less tiring), or use it to divide your day up. It can be like a power nap, but one where, rather than shutting down your mind, you're in fact.. 2/
..training it. If you do it before writing, it can help you get to a deeper place in a shorter time. It also helps with managing that anxiety that comes from feeling like you're not doing enough. It helps with all anxiety. 2. Find the joy again in the writing. What do I mean.. 3/
