@AvantiWestCoast Thank you, Lucy - will tickets go on sale then too?

[Anim van Wyk @animvw]

@AvantiWestCoast Why have tickets for 30 Oct between Euston and Manchester disappeared again, @AvantiWestCoast ?

@MicrosoftSA I'm expecting a repaired device from you, but the tracking number sent is incorrect. There is no local number for your courier Sagawa either. Please help!

I just received an invitation to contribute to a "Special Issue 'Homeopathy' in the journal / OBM Integrative and Complementary Medicine."

They suggest I would "make an excellent contribution based on [my] expertise..." (Are they mocking me?)

My response below...

Just like any other vaccine, the COVID-19 vaccine works by teaching your immune system how to defend itself against attack

Throwback to that time we printed money 🤣

There's lots of chat about R200 notes & bags again... In 2016, @AfricaCheck fact-checked if the R600,000 allegedly offered to Mcebisi Jonas would fit in a bag. (Spoiler: It would!) Check the math here: https://t.co/BVN0FJzQ5L

An embattled incumbent representing a declining ethnic majority who lost the popular vote:
-calls out the military to quell protests
-attacks the legitimacy of elections
-seeks to limit access to the franchise

You'd know exactly what this was if you saw it in another country.

[Anim van Wyk @animvw]

Especially in South Africa.

[Vukosi Marivate 🇿🇦🚀📊 @vukosi]

Her is the smoothed daily new positive cases for South Africa. We are now in phase 2. Where we go from here is our collective responsibility. Hold your public representative accountable, hold your neighbours accountable, hold our society accountable!!!

Vale el tiempo empeñado mirar este análisis de las visitas a las notas de @AfricaCheck que hizo @animvw. Fuentes de acceso, duración, temas de interés. Cómo usar las métricas para garantizar un mayor acceso a info relevante. 👇🏽

[Anim van Wyk @animvw]

My Oxford journey started just over a year ago as @risj_oxford fellow. In between stimulating seminars, talks and field trips I took a deep dive into @AfricaCheck's audience data. The findings have just been published: https://t.co/4BEICxuhk2
