That's all I have. The funny thing is I collected these paintings about seven years ago when I was doing research for The Angel of History, my last novel on the AIDS pandemic. Who knew they'd come in handy today?!!

Pandemic preparedness: Disposable gloves instructions.

I use the gloves when using public transit and going into public places - like a shop. I use them differently in each instance.

Read #thread below; #coronavirus #COVID19 #COVIDー19

1/12
The instances where I have to use the glove has reduced due to voluntary social distancing that I am practicing right now. 2/12
When on public transit, I wear two gloves - one for each hand. Gloves go on just before boarding. I touch my wallet before touching anything else to pay for transit and then put it back before I touch anything. 3/12

PONDER ON THE WORD BELOW (A #THREAD):

God created this world and brought man, a living being unto which He bestowed life, into it. Next, the man came to have parents and kin and was no longer alone.
Ever since man first laid eyes on this material world, he was...

[#Thread] To all those interested in [Arabic] Twitter, I have done an analysis of verified Twitter accounts in the Middle East (however broadly we interpret that term). I was mostly interested in majority Arabic speaking countries. #digitalhumanities
2/ Firstly special thanks to my RA @imaaaan_1 who collated the data. Methodologically, I was inspired by @luca who did a great post on verified users here > medium.com/startup-grind/… My aim was to focus in on specific Arabic-speaking countries, not all users :)
@imaaaan_1 @luca 3/ A note: I think verified users are important. Verification is increasingly used as a sign of credibility and legitimacy. Many people even pay for verified accounts. Whether we like it or not, Twitter as a social media company now has the ability to bestow upon users social

In today's edition of "Anything can happen"
Had to hail an early morning ride to San Francisco yesterday. As the Indian driver and I discussed our backgrounds, power bikes, rent in the Bay area etc. Suddenly he turned to me and asked:
“You are Nigerian right?”
#thread
“Yes, “ I said, expecting the usual follow ons, like questions around the security/economic situation or him recalling a Nigerian roommate/classmate from way back.
“Do you know Mark Enji kimidi?”
“Who?”
“Mark Enji kimidi”
“Errr….”
“That guy Mark Enji, with that little girl , very funny!”
Then it hit me. I had allowed myself to be caught off guard with his thick Indian accent, having caused others the same with my thick igbo accent, i could not fault him.
“Ooooooh!!!! You mean Mark Angel Comedy!!!???”

Si alza l'asticella della provocazione. Il timore è che si voglia arrivare allo scontro sociale, ideale cortina fumogena per devastanti operazioni speculative e pretesto per la limitazione della libertà. L'alternanza delle dichiarazioni destabilizzanti è sempre più
frequente e impegna tutte le forze di governo. Le giustificazioni, invariabilmente insignificanti e ulteriormente irritanti. Non c'è più distinzione tra le parti, evidente segnale di un'organizzazione pianificata a tavolino, rivelatrice di un piano già pronto, prima ancora del
voto di marzo. Devono esserne al corrente anche coloro che ne appoggiano il disegno eversivo, fin dalla prima ora: giornalisti, opinionisti, anchorman. Difficile quindi, non tanto riuscire a far sentire voci antitetiche alla leadership, quanto rendere efficace il messaggio, in
