@linda_a_burnett's workshop done, presentations attended, scholars met, and conversations had. What have I learned? Surprising things. Here's a partial reflection histories of scientific instructions, lists & colonial travel. @UU_University, @BookScribbler, @eayers0, @dominikhhh 
First off, not all lists are alike. Much can be learned by the order of items, especially when it comes to ethnographic observation. The order of observation tells us about the intellectual context from which the instruction arises. #listing #History #Science #KNOWLEDGE
But study of intellectual context takes us into other domains - of national experiences, of inter-imperial exchanges, of cross-cultural encounters and yes, so often, of violence and indifference to sufferings. #History #Empire #colonized #Violence #KnowledgeManagement
I'm being tagged in a #conversation about the #safety of #women travelling to #Tanzania. I shall repeat my story to #caution women who want to travel there. A thread.
I went to Tanzania as a #tourist. Depending on where you are, I would call it a very #unsafe place especially for solo travelers. There are rules I wasn't aware of which turned my 'holiday' into a nightmare.
I was #attacked by a mob on my first day. Fists flew, blows pounded on my body and head for 'indecent' dressing. It was when one woman lifted my dress and started to pull down my underwear did I say, "Fuck this shit'.
#Narcissism thread 🧵 15 (more) questions to ask yourself if you are questioning whether someone is a #narcissist
1. Do they devalue, diminish, demonise or harshly judge you or act as the righteous ‘authority’ figure with you regardless of their age, status or employment? 🚩
1. Do they devalue, diminish, demonise or harshly judge you or act as the righteous ‘authority’ figure with you regardless of their age, status or employment? 🚩
Are they #superior? For e.g. A non lawyer preaching to a lawyer about law. 2. Are they #defensive? Do they seem only interested in trying to prove that they are right & you are wrong, in a defensive mode? 🚩They are #competitive not co-operative. Co-operation is a must #healthy
3. Do they demand #attention from you? For e.g., insisting on having the conversation when it’s convenient for them only &/or use emotional #manipulation to ensure conversation happens on ‘their’ terms? They may not answer the question, go off topic, deflect, defensive, accuse 🚩
“My mission is to keep youth out of prison and out the graveyards by sharing my life experiences, using them as a blueprint for success to help them not make the same mistakes I did.”
@KentOsbourne never really had a stable childhood, hitting his lowest point when he found himself serving a two-year prison sentence as a young adult.
However, while he was behind bars, he found faith, religion, and songwriting, ultimately leading to his success as an award-winning gospel hip hop recording artist.
#ICYMI: Last night on #ThaYard we were joined by Writer & Activist, Anthony Payton. After serving 10 years in prison in the 90s, Anthony is now using his voice to highlight critical issues, tell important stories, and share the realities of life after incarceration...
...through freelance writing. On Tha Yard, he shares about his work, his upbringing, and his turbulent yet transformative experience in prison.

So what *is* this "Digital Regulation: Driving growth & unlocking innovation" policy paper? Another "strategy"? A white paper for #DPA2022?
If it's about #regulation, then how will @OliverDowden's "unashamedly pro-tech approach" protect people's #rights?

In his introduction to "#ThePlan", @OliverDowden says he'll "shortly publish a #plan for a pro-growth data regime" 🤔
If he has an ACTUAL plan, or frankly a clue, then why not just #publish the damn thing? Why all the waffle?
Hand-wavy platitudes like these 👇 ain't worth Jack:

Just so we're clear, this "#Plan" is supposed to "start a #conversation" about "#TenTechPriorities" that @DCMS published on a "shorthand stories"(?) page that DOESN'T ONCE MENTION PEOPLE'S #RIGHTS!!

Does this Government think it can take us for fools?

Began reading Saiswaroopa’s #Rukmini . Just in the First Chapter. In few pages, it establishes
- The persona of a spectrum of #Mahabharata characters
- The Universe of Rukmini
- The Trajectory of her journey
You get a thick peek.

The Larger Universe of MB characters gives it an epic streak. Hopefully, it will remain throughout the book. That is the larger universe that Rukmini may have to deal with?
Lets see in the coming pages.

The Universe of Rukmini, the small universe, you perceive it through the interest Rukmini shows in things around her.
I wonder how the larger universe impacts this small universe.
Got to wait and see.

#leadershipdevelopment - Have you ever had to work for an indecisive boss?
Someone who hated taking #decisions. Someone who didn't like being "put on the spot" and asked for a straight answer. How did you work with them?

A conversation between 2 twins while they are in the womb of their mother. Pretty profound. Got it in a mail. #MOTHER #motherhood #conversation #mondaythoughts #MondayMotivation

One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?”
The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”
The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”
“Nonsense,” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?” The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here.
That's....really too bad. @michaelwsmith, @rocketown is a treasured & sacred space (a real gift) you've given the city of Nashville. Please reconsider your decision to offer it as a platform to @johnrich (who bullied @lipscomb into firing @btpaschall, a prophet among us).
.@michaelwsmith, in light of this move, it's hard to know what to make of this song. If it's sincere, could you at least make sure someone who isn't all in for 45 also has access to a microphone at the event? In the interest of #Conversation?
This is still a lovely song and no decision to rent (or give) a space out to a white supremacist death cult will change that. I'd love to hear @mountain_goats sing it some time.

jumped in to talk about casteism.

A Dindoo responded: "Yeah, also, they made the lower-caste people tie brooms to their waists so they could clean up the streets as they walked."

To make fundamental changes in the behavior of a #SocialSystem requires its #agents adopt an alternative #purpose and #OrganizingPrinciples to those currently in place. If successful, this shift will create a new social system with significantly different #rules and #boundaries.
Any social system change process begins with a set of conversations among agents in the system about how to better apply its purpose and organizing principles. This leads to experimentation with alternatives, then modification of the rules and boundaries to adopt those that work.
Important topics for #conversation at the outset of an intentional #SocialSystem #ChangeProcess are those that bring #agents in the system together to recall and / or clarify the system’s #purpose and #OrganizingPrinciples then to either confirm them or challenge their relevance.

I started playing #guitar in college. Some of my friends back home played, so I thought I'd learn. It's been years since I kept up with it. With no job and an empty house, I had time. Plus, I could crank up my amp. Ava would have hated it. All the more reason to do it.

Strumming a few chords or playing a riff through a loud amp usually makes me feel better. It's more of a distraction this time. My amp is a little old. Even a #ragpicker might pass on it. "If you're not going to play it, sell it," Ava nagged. Life always got in the way.

Or I got in the way. Not even ten years ago I kept getting sick all the time. Painful stomach cramps would radiate weakness throughout my body. I learned how to wash it away like healing #rainwater. That's when I really started to figure out who I was and what I could do.

** NEW BOOK ** - I am excited that “Deuteronomy: Renewal of the Sinai Covenant”, the 5th and final installation of my Covenant & Conversation series on the Hebrew Bible published by Maggid Books (part of @korenpublishers), is out now! More details here: bit.ly/2NEqYPI
@korenpublishers I called this series #Covenant & #Conversation because this, for me, is the essence of what #Torah #learning is – throughout the ages, and for us, now.
@korenpublishers The text of #Torah is our covenant with #God, our written constitution as a nation under His sovereignty. The #interpretation of this text has been the subject of an ongoing #conversation that began at #Sinai thirty-three centuries ago and has not ceased since.

I got to explain #GayPanic and #UselessLesbian to my pysch today 😂
These are terms I just learned (over the last few months myself) that described succinctly, what the heck is going on with my brain.
To unpack these terms, I'm going to start you with Sappho.

slender Aphrodite has overcome me
with longing for a girl.” –Sappho
